If you continue to gamble, I promise 2 things will happen. #1: You WILL walk away a winner sometimes. It's bound to happen, no matter how you are playing. #2: You WILL LOSE more than you eve! r win!If you accept that #2 as fact, then you should feel pretty good about only spending $40 in a day of playing in Atlantic City.
