I don't consider myself a lucky person. That's not a gripe at my karma or anything, I just rarely win stuff. Despite this, I remain an optimist when it comes to gambling - my Dad loves to tell the story of how, as an 8 year old, I started to plan what the family would spend their lottery winnings on when we bought our only lottery ticket ever.
I felt, at the time, that by buying a ticket we had guaranteed that we'd win. It's a psychological defect that I haven't entirely grown out of.
A good example being this: last weekend I went to buy some booze in advance of a fun night at a friend's house. As well as the expensive booze, I also bought a scratchcard because then "the booze will pay for itself".
Of course, due to the aforementioned bad luck situation, this economic trick didn't quite come good. Shame.
Ask any gambler what the stupidest, cruellest bitch mistress of a casino game is, and it's likely that they'll tell you it's roulette.
Roulette is a stupid game, designed to extract every last penny out of the compulsive morons who play it. Naturally, I approach the roulette wheel with total confidence - I'm sure to win, remember.
Well, last night imagine my shock and delight when I did in fact win at roulette. Not just a minor win either, but a very welcome and decent chunk of money.
Not only that, but literally one roll beforehand, my friend Laura also won. Again, a decent chunk of money.
In two spins of the curséd wheel we made ourselves look like professional casino hustlers, lucky people, and absolute bastards. It was brilliant. And I guess now I can't say that I'm unlucky any more.
