Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Good For You.
I am so happy for you. Our local casino will take
your picture and ban you for a year if you want, not
sure if it is the same with were you are. You are so
right they see us gamblers coming for miles and have
us figured out soooooo well. As I always say my best
advice is Pray it really works. Feed your subconsious
good thoughts and it will return with good actions.
Never feel bad about what you did and you are not
stupid you just needed a lesson learned to help your
soul grow. Smile, learn your lesson and move on.
You are on the right track.... keep moving foward.
