I’m a college student and wanted to go to the casino for the first time for my 21st birthday. I was thinking of bringing between $100-$150 for total bankroll. Was really only thinking about playing slots and roulette. I also enjoy sports betting, so going to the Sportsbook would be something I’d consider too. Any feedback or tips?
This reminds me of the time I went to the casino for my buddy's 25th birthday. Was a 2 hour car ride to the casino. We stopped at a Taco Bell on the way. My buddy loves that place. We get there and we have a couple drinks and played some games .We had won about $75 and we were definitely having a good time. Then all of a sudden in the middle of playing Blackjack I felt my stomach rumble and vibrate. I knew exactly what was coming. Within seconds I had the Hershey squirts. It was so bad it went all over my seat, my pants and even on my cards. Sheer terror and warmness filled me as I think about my current scenario. Do I hit or do I stand? I was holding 15. The dealer told me to stand and I said no I'm not the dealer and I hit. My buddy came from behind and tapped me on the shoulder. I had passed out in a Taco Bell bathroom on the way to the Casino. My IBS gave me explosive diarrhea and now Taco Bell is suing me for the damage to their building.

as the title states, i won some money at the casino and i want to use some of it to revamp my boring bedroom. i currently have about $700, what should i do to revamp it?
for reference, my favorite colors are purple, blue, and grey. i have a medium-sized room, a queen-size bed, and i want to stay on a budget so i don't use ALL of my money. :)
I'm getting conflicting info online, some are saying most casinos stopped doing it recently but I was wondering if anyone here knew for sure.
I turn 21 at the end of this month and my mother wanted to throw a big party for me and at first I was adverse to the idea because I have extreme anxiety and don’t like big crowds. But my mother said I was selfish because I had a lot of family members and friends of my parents who are basically family to them who have to come because they knew me since I was a baby or let me borrow a piece of jewelry for prom. She also said that if I wanted a small party she’d have to tell everyone that I didn’t want them there and I personally chose not to invite them. So I caved and just decided to have a big party instead of a small one with my friends
I also told her that since I don’t like the taste of any alcohol in the slightest I wouldn’t be drinking a lot and maybe only have one or two drinks but then my whole family ( my mom, my dad, and my two sisters) said that I have to drink more because the whole point of my 21st is to get wasted so i sucked it once again and said I’d drink a lot that night.
The last argument we had about my birthday was because I said I don’t want to go the the casino because I personally don’t like gambling and it makes me personally uncomfortable ( I have a few gambling addicts in my family) because I’ve seen people lose a lot to a gambling addiction and I’ve personally since people lose a lot even their house before due to their addictions. So I did not wanna set foot in the casino and I’ve promised myself I would never gamble and once again I was told by my whole family I was being selfish because this is a right of passage and everyone goes to the casino of their 21st birthday and that I need to think about about people other then myself for once and suck it up and that if I don’t wanna follow the traditions it’s not even worth it to have a party and I should just stay at home in room like I always do.
Ps: sorry for bad formatting and grammar English isn’t my first language
but decided to just use the money to buy some more AMC before market close instead. Hopefully next year I can get myself something really nice!
So yesterday was my birthday, had to work a 12 hour shift through the whole day. My coworkers and job are amazing and I had a great day.
My husband had some leftovers heated up for me when I got home which was super nice of him.
So I end up falling asleep late, and wake up and call him to see where he's at.
He's at the casino with his buddy... Idk if I'm overreacting, or if I should just end it all now.
We are both 29 been together almost 10 years, and have two sons together.
About a year and a half now he has had issues with drugs and talking inappropriately with other women.
I have begged him not to leave in the middle of the night, it makes me worry tremendously if he's cheating or overdosed somewhere.
He just leaves, no note, nothing. Idk I don't even want to talk to him. How do I comprehend this situation? I feel like if he wants to act single, go ahead. I work my ass off, he has no job and he's the one who gets to go have fun? I'm really exhausted from it all and would appreciate any advice.
Edit: I had no idea I would so many responses. I feel as though I should clarify a few things. Most of you are right, it's not about my birthday, it's not about him having fun without me. It was the point of disrespecting me when I ask him not to do something that is so standard in relationships.
For a good 8 years we had an amazing relationship, we were best friends, he was my home. He held the same job that whole time, provided for his family. He is all I know, I thought I would grow old with him and never wanted another.
He has made so many mistakes, he has broken me, he is lost. But I started seeing who he used to be again and I held on despite not being really happy.
He has been getting better with his drug addiction, I told him I would not give up on him and for my kids I will make sure they have their dad for a long time.
He does not gamble, that just happened to be what he was doing last night.
I know I'm a fool, most days I want to run... Idk why I can't.
So I recently picked up an interest in Blackjack and was thinking about going to a casino and seeing if I could make some money for my birthday. I plan on studying the basic strategy betting chart thing and stuff on how to play the game.
I don't really have any expectations set cause seems like my experience is pretty dependent on the hands I'm dealt and how I decide to play them. That said what should my expectations be and what was your first time like?
Hi there,
So for context, my boyfriend and I have been dating for about two years and have a good relationship. We live in America, and of course there is currently a pandemic. So basically, my boyfriend's grandmother (who had COVID two months ago), his mom (an anti-masker) and his uncle are all planning on going to a casino in Louisiana this weekend. I was invited but declined to come because both of my parents are at risk, as well as my roommate's mother who has cancer. Throughout the pandemic I have been very careful, I do work a service job but always with a mask and with limited contact with customers. I didn't have a problem with him going, because well- I can't control him and it's his birthday. However, I did ask him that before we see each other again after he returns he gets a COVID test to be sure he didn't catch it at a casino. He refuses, and says that after four days if he doesn't have symptoms (along with the rest of his family) we'll be fine. This to me seems to be an obviously flawed logic, which I explained to him, but he doesn't care to hear it.
The other option is for him to quarantine for two weeks. This is complicated, since we live about 500 feet away from each other, and have pretty much all the same friends that either live in his apartment or mine. He actually shares a bedroom with another roommate, which would make quarantining essentially impossible. I also don't think he's willing to actually isolate.
So here we are. I am frustrated, because this is actually the second time in the past couple of months that we had this conversation. The first is because he went to a football game for his dad's birthday, when he also refused to get tested. There were thousands of people there. The result of that was a massive fight, a lot of conversations, and me eventually caving and seeing him before the two weeks was up because I was feeling really depressed. I am also moving away from him in January, meaning we don't really have much time left to be around each other in person.
My question is- am I overreacting? Under-reacting? I am currently simmering on this situation and feel like he's being inconsiderate. Oh! and he also threw out the other night that his uncle also wants to take him to the strip club. This bothers me because, well, how do you get a lap dance while socially distanced? It seems reckless to do these things and then also refusing to get a test afterwards. I feel I've sacrificed so much of my life recently to be safe, bu

I was in a motorcycle accident last year and still wheelchair bound. Hopefully by end of year I'll be out of it. My girlfriend of six years for my birthday brought me to the casino as I never went before, and being unable to drive meant I needed a way to get there. She has an (alleged) distaste for gambling so she wanted nothing of it. Just drop off, I met a couple friends, and spent a couple of hours doing slots.
I ended up leaving with around CAD$3500 more than I came in with. I told my girlfriend and she flat out said I need to give her half because she drove me, and since we've been together for so long, it should be 50/50 split in any case. I wanted to use these to pay off the final remainder of my school loans with some leftover to treat her for a nice dinner and maybe a new piece of furniture.
The short of it is she refused to pick me up and we had a huge fight. It's been a few hours now and it hasn't really calmed down. She's not home (I own the house completely) and won't respond to texts.
On one hand, I feel guilty she got so angry but I also think this is pretty stupid and telling of her character. I think I'm done. I'm not in the wrong, right? We don't share our finances, and in most respects, she's more well off than I. I inherited this house but otherwise work. My girlfriend gets a trust every month and ultimately makes more than I do.
tl;dr: I won $3500 at the casino. Girlfriend demands half of it. Am I obliged to put up with it?

Thanks to everyone for their advice.
Deciding whether or not I should give myself one year until I off myself, or more or less than that.
