I’ve seldomly played roulette. Never won or lost anything of real significance. While on vacation in France at a time when my wife and I were so poor we stayed in hostels and mostly just ate bread and cheese for most our meals, I once bet our ice cream money on a spin. I walked away with enough Euros to buy ice cream and a Pratchett paperback we found in an English bookstore.
A few years later I found myself up $200 at a casino in NY. I didn’t lose my starting amount, but I lost all my winnings and the way my body reacted, I think now I must’ve experienced a mini panic attack. Gambling - not really for me. It’s been years, but I don’t mind losing $50 when I have to charge my car at the Supercharger station outside the Salamanca Casino. That’s about my limit, though.
