1-800-BETS-OFF
Last night I checked out the Council Bluffs casino scene for the first time. Let me just say that the two casinos we went to were probably the saddest places I've ever seen. Most of the people there fit into two groups: old people who had lost the will to live and were willing to throw everything they had at a slot machine, and the NASCAR crowd who, by the number of mullets I saw, were still big Billy Ray Cyrus fans. Really freakin' depressing. Anyway, JT, DR, and AP and I hit the blackjack tables since it's the only game where you've got a fighting chance. We all fared pretty well (except for AP), and I even ended up making $35 (on the $30 I played). Lessons learned: go to the casinos infrequently, play with very little money and leave when you're on top.
