    Why? I'd rather invest it in my future than lose it

        I used to invest a wee bit on the stock market if you can call that gambling but I don't tend to do much of that any more.

          I don't have a gambling fund per se, but if I go to the casino, I set a pretty low limit. $40, for example. Once it's gone, I'm done.

          I'll also spend a couple dollars on big lotteries. I know I have a better chance of getting struck by lightning -- twice -- but it's worth the entertainment value.

            I assume that there was no pun intended on "having a formula worked out," but I found it sort of funny. My mother goes to the riverboat casino once a month or so and always claims that she has this magic formula that will make her a winner...so far it has gotten her free meals and increased gas expenses, but no big pay days.
