High from the 14th floor at Belterra. It is a "birds eye view" for sure. It is pretty to look out and see the river and the surrounding countryside from that height in the air.

I do like it. I just don't want to be overtaken with all the hype of casino living. Ha
Truthfully, I enjoy "homesteading and trading" just as well, if not better.
But, I am not alone. I am married..................................................lol

So we do the right thing. We accommodate the wants and wishes of the other half as well.
While I would rarely, if ever go there myself. I make the best of it in this situation.
And I always love a challenge. If I am put into a situation that I have to deal with.
I look for ways to be satisfied and happy about it.
Much like the girl from "Pixabay" below.

Now, I think that is happy. lol

For the record. The machines made me a twenty dollar ($20) dollar winner this time. So that
puts me back to $67.50 dollars and to the plus column since I started keeping records of my playing at Belterra.
It could have been a $17.50 loss just as easily. But this time. My plan and method of play prevailed.

This is the game of choice for me. It doesn't cost much and if I follow my rules. I would only
lose just a little money.
Remember? I am not a gambler. If I cannot break even over time or win just a little. I will stop the game.
I don't like to lose. Ha
Jacks or Better.jpg
I brought the above image from one of my earlier posts about "casinos."
It is what is called a (9 & 6) Jacks or Better game. That is not what I get to play. Mine is (8 & 5).
And that is not as good. But, in some places. It is even less. Ugh Anything less than 8 & 5.
I don't play.

If you want to know about my strategy. You can see it here:

https://steemit.com/money/@francisk/i-like-casinos-final

I may have revised the strategy a little since I had posted this back at that time.
But, the thought is the same. Don't lose your money. Why do that if you don't have to. Ha

Oh, and I play a 0.25 cent machine now. Not the dollar machine. My strategy is still in "beta"
if you will allow me to use the term . lol

If you do not have "discipline and will power." It would be better if you stayed out of the casinos.
Unless you have an endless supply of money. The casinos don't build cities with their own money.

On to my trading. Let's look at the trading DOM. Keep in mind that I was away from the
computer most of the day Friday.

Sadly the trading DOM isn't showing any green numbers.
Can you see why I am not so excited about the casinos? I like green numbers on my Daniels Trading DOM. lol

Homesteading? What is that? Ha
I would rather have been down on the land clearing and cleaning up the place.
But, I will soon. The "iron horse" will soon be ready.

It just takes some time. At my age. I don't need to be working everyday anyway.
Pat is right. Enjoy life a little while you can. It could get a little tough to move around
at some point in the next few months/years. I can do almost anything now.
So, make happy today. Tomorrow will take care of itself.

Thank you for following along with my Steemit life. Life has changed since I joined Steemit.
And did you notice the changes that are coming to Steemit?

Here is where I found out about it. No one had said anything to me.

Click on the "Social" selection next to the Charts.

I had noticed that the SBD were changing to something more to our liking.
And with a little investigation. I found the information above in the link.

I hope it works out well for all of us. We shall see.....

For the love of anything good, just make sure you have a reason to get out of bed every day. ;)

@rebeccaryan
I would get out of bed to trade the markets. I saw an opportunity to trade a little while ago.
But, no more all nighters in the event I would be wrong. lol

Francis

Right. I completely agree...if that can be avoided, it should be.

when I was young I thought it would be forever before I reach My Teenage life. after that it seems to speed up a little bit. after retirement it seems like I have the pedal to the metal.interesting post thanks for sharing

@cowboyk
Time just keeps on rolling by for us. But, as @pastorike writes though.
We can hope for an eternity of life that is even better.

Francis

If you feel pretty good your "retirement years" can be great. After that in can be even better.

@pastorike
We can have hope. Look at my reply above to @cowboyk.

This reminds me of when I went to Biloxi, Mississippi on a gambling trip. I started off playing 5 dollar slots (Wheel of Fortune!" and hitting max bid every time! I thought surely that I would hit a decent pot at least once.... WRONG! NOT one time did that machine pay out! It was the quickest thousand bucks I have ever lost in my life!

@bluelightbandit
I have been around casino for years. I know a little about them The person after you or even later, likely hit a good payout on that same machine.. That is how the machines work.
That is why I have a strategy. I don't like to give up my money anymore.

Francis

You enjoy your life well

@walidsalah
Thank you. I try to do what I can to do well. In life, we can enjoy what the world has to offer.
How we interact with others is very important too.
That is what I want to do. I want to show to others who I am by example.
I never want to lead anyone to anything that would harm them in anyway.
That is why I am careful with my words. Live and let live is a good way of thinking.

Francis

Royal flush Francis :))))) Good luck

@alextuteu
Happy thought. It wasn't a Royal Flush for us this time.
They are very few over time. But, they do happen.
I know. I have had them in the past. Just not recently though.

Francis
