My Gambling Problem
Before you all go and stage an intervention, I'd just like to point out that my gambling problem isn't that I'm addicted. My problem is that I never win- I'm sure that I can stop at anytime. As those who knew me during high school know, I love to make bets. I don't bet for money, since doing that makes people take it too seriously and it's just no fun that way, so I bet actions/promises instead. My current bets:
Bet with Sharon- Sharon getting married before she graduates (it was extended)
If I win: She has to play Starcraft with Amanda
If she wins: I have to wear a dress to the next anime marathon. (She'll probably graduate before me so I'll still be a member of wwwa [Weekly Watchers of Wonderful Anime] as long as it's still there.)
Bet with Jing- Me getting falling in love by the end of this year
If I win: Jing has to dress like a goth for one day (this day has to be a day that she has at least one class)
If she wins: I have to wear a dress and high heels (what is with people wanting to see me in a dress?!)
Bet with Jean- Jean getting a boyfriend by the end of this year
If I win: Jean has to cook me something Italian
If she wins: I have to go without games of any kind for 5 days
I figure that with Jing's bet, there is no way that I can lose. So maybe my problem will be resolved by the end of this year, and we can all see Jing as a goth in 2006. ^_^
Oh, and if you haven't heard about it yet, the Ting/Ting bet! I made a bet with Ting (girl) that I could get Ting (guy) to ask her out to Commerce Ball 2004. If I won, then she'd have to say yes and go with him- not that she'd refuse anyway. If I lost, then I'd have to tell a lecturer that I loved him, wear a minskirt and perform She Bangs William Hung style. Neither Ting ended up going to Comm Ball anyway. Thankfully, Ting (guy) let me out of the bet- since if he found out about the bet, it would be called off. It was pretty close though. I should have learnt my lesson from that, but I didn't and I think I'm going to keep betting until I win one. Is that an addiction?

I really shouldn't have let you out of the bet... see now you have a gambling problem! Or at least a betting one.
So, maybe, maybe, if you wear a miniskirt to uni one day you might actually get over your gambling problem? Or maybe I'm just being an optimist. ;-)

I have no clue why any sane person would want to see me in a dress, much less a miniskirt! I'm glad x infinty that I didn't lose that bet with Ting (girl). I'm hoping that by the time Sharon graduates, everyone will have forgotten about wanting to see me in a dress, so that if I lose, nobody will go out of there way to see me. And given that it's highly unlikely that I'll lose to Jing, that's all the dress wearing out of the way.
Saman, the last post I wrote was entirely about you! Oh, and I have no idea where the dress wearing would take play if I did lose... maybe at home? Guess it depends on what Jing thinks.

Now now - stop writing off my chances Anna! I still quite like my odds in our little bet...yes yes...must have confidence...
Anyway, where you would wear your lovely dress and high heels...some place where you'd be able to be seen by all of us naturally. I'll have to think about that one more when I win the bet!

Anna: you have a gambling problem. But one thing you never told me was why it was so important for you to see Sharon play Amanda in Starcraft? And wow, Jing as a goth? Hehe that'd be quite a sight! So, Anna you must lose the bet with Sharon so we get to see you in a dress, win the bet with Jing so we get to see her as a goth and feel guilty about not keeping your end of the deal in the Ting/Ting bet so we get to see you in a miniskirt and perform She Bangs Billy Hung style.
And why do we want to see you in a dress? Simply because we never have. So, if you wore more dresses we'd stop pestering you with requests.
Wayland out.

I thought I did answer why it's bad to play against Amanda, but here it is again:
"Since almost everyone in my family plays Starcraft, Amanda is actually quite good at it, even though she's only 7 and doesn't quite understand most strategies. Still, it's embarrassing to lose to someone that is less than half your age. Plus, once she gets someone to play with her, she doesn't let go of them until she gets bored- which can be hours and hours away!"
Jing: What do you mean by when you win the bet???
Wayland: So you're saying that people want to see me in a dress/skirt because it's an uncommon event- and the way to get them to stop is to start wearing them a lot? I think I prefer the wearing it once if I lose and getting it over and done with.

Hi, seeing as you accept anonymous blogging I thought I would send you this info about online gambling from a guy at work. His blog features online poker and he has made a fortune from online gambling.
The Online Casino Startup Bonus
When choosing a trustworthy online casino there are many factors you need to consider. Just because one of the great number of online casinos existent today has impressive graphics, games and offers a wide diversity of bonuses, it doesnt mean its a fair and licensed one. Of course, such cases are rare, and, since today there are hundreds of reputable virtual casinos one can choose from, the most important criteria when deciding which one to play at is what they offer.
The first bonus you can get when you first open an account at a casino is the sign up bonus most casinos offer, an encouraging bonus of at least $25, but it may often be higher than $500. Some casinos even match your first deposit, meaning they double it, for free.
Many casinos also offer hundreds of dollars worth bonuses for new players and, if you're the one who brings other friends to the casino, things are even better than that. Most casinos offer a refer a friend bonus and, the more friends you have, the more fortunate you will get. For each friend you refer to the casino, you will get up to $1000, for each friend that they refer, you'll earn up to $300 and, furthermore, for each person that your friend's friends refer, you will earn up to $100. Once you are confident that particular casino is a reliable one, bring as many of your friends as you can to the casino and you'll have all the reasons to enjoy their games. The only thing you need to pay attention to afterwards is to handle the money wisely and not risk it all in a single bet, however confident you may be.
And most casinos give you an alternative to this. They offer you the chance to practice for free at first, and they also give you money to do that, so, it's practically free and you have nothing to lose. When you find the right casino you'll know it from the first time you play there. From then on, they will remind you how important you are to them by giving you special bonuses every month. These bonuses are somewhere around $100 and even higher and they reward you for being a loyal customer. These casinos also offer the so called comp points that accumulate throughout the course of the games you play and at certain points they turn into real money and, depending how long you have been playing at that casino, you may win lots of money.
The most important bonuses casinos offer are the jackpots and prizes you can win at their games. Casinos reward players with millions of dollars each day for their gaming skills. Tournaments and regular casino games are most profitable for gamblers. Only one progressive jackpot, for one single game of slots, for instance, can be of over $ 2 million. And it's only a matter of seconds and a bit of luck to win it.
Most casinos don't need a special occasion to give bonuses. They offer bonuses for the players third and fourth deposits, for being loyal to the casino, or just for being at a table at a certain time. So, it’s only a matter of finding the right casino and from there on, bonuses will keep coming to you. The only problem is that if you don't have a proper money management you won't treasure what you win, it will go away as easily as it came. We may all want those bonuses, but do we know what to do with them and how much of it we should risk in our next bet?
A guy at work recommends the following Casino Gaming Sites, (the trick is to sign up to each and get your startup bonuses) once you have played each one for a while you will get to know which one suits your style of play and which is therefore the most profitable one for you.
as follows:
CASINO CLASSIC
PLAY65.COM
888.COM
CASINO-FOR-ME
