I'm In Pocket...
Well, not really but if you end a week in the black anything is welcome and not to be dismissed.
I suppose over the year I spend or lose more than I win when I go to the few local social nights and play games of chance. I am not a big gambler. So unlikely to ever get rich.
However, last night I won the sticky thirteen card game(that's where someone calls out the card suites and numbers of a pack of playing cards)and everyone else has a hand of thirteen cards. As each card is called if you match, you lose it.
If your last card is called you win.
Sometimes you share but tonight I alone won. I picked my selection of cards(and usually go with my first choice)However, I decided to change my mind and I was lucky.
I won £25(US $42.04)but with what I spend on a couple of drinks, taxi, bingo, that's a profit of around £15($25.22)so I suppose the glass is half full rather than half empty? In a way it means the night was free and gave me back some of what I had spent earlier in the week on groceries etc...
I was lucky last Thursday or was it the week before, I forget, at the small bingo meeting at the sheltered accommodation where I won £8(US $13.45)but again with the cost of playing, using a taxi, having a drink of tea and a packet of crisps that wiped out the win and I was 10p(US $17c)out of pocket but you could say that it was a free night this time.
Small prizes but its social more than anything else.
