On our multi-day soccer parent trips, we often take a side trip to a
nearby casino (Cache Creek is less than an hour away and Lake Tahoe is
a pleasant day's drive from Davis).

I usually sit at a 20-25 cent video poker machine and shoot for
flushes. So far this year I am up abour $3.60.

My wife plays $25-$50 minimum 1 or 2-deck blackjack and counts cards.
She is up over $1200 on this year's soccer expeditions. She doesn't
like me to play blackjack because I have bad habits (I _always_ hit
13) and I disagree with her about whether other players affect her
luck.

I've been in a few casinos, Windsor, Lake Tahoe, and Vegas. A few in
England, too. I've
never played cards. I wouldn't know what to do. I always play the
slots. I'm up several thousand. I can't explain it, I work with
electronics and I can somehow know which machines will pay off. The
worst day I ever had was at Bally's in lake Tahoe. I broke even.
