Hello for the first time

I just realised that I think about gambling almost everyday. I'm certain I'm not the only one though. Such thoughts aren't reserved for those crazy drooling homeless-looking people who fit the stereotype of 'addicts' on government-run websites. Anybody reading this has probably been touched profoundly by gambling in some way:

That familiar feeling of fond anticipation at the end of a long day as you await the evening release of Toto or 4D results....

Taking a well-deserved break in the middle of the work day queuing up at the Singapore Pools outlet below the office....

Engaging in impassioned debates on the best way to analyse roulette results....

Diligently memorising your printout of the blackjack basic strategy table....

Basking in the camaraderie that arises from shared loyalty to the soccer team you and your friends just bet on....

Sensibly telling yourself that you can live without that Prada bag, especially since the money can be put to better use at the casino....

Satiating your thirst for the great outdoors by venturing into the mountains (Genting casino) or taking on the high seas (Long Jie cruise)....

Meticulously doing research on whether casinos are legal at your next holiday destination....

Fantasizing about the ultimate trip to Las Vegas, where everything is free thanks to the casinos....

Since we all recognise how integral gambling is to our lives, this blog will document random thoughts, tearjerking accounts and the occasional pearl of wisdom related to any sort of activity that gives you a shot at that winning feeling.
