Gamble on Yourself – Not Blackjack

Of course I didn’t follow the advice I am about to give, but I suppose that is the reason I am giving it! Next time you are thinking about hitting Vegas or Atlantic City (or Mohegan Sun in my case), you might want to consider spending the money on domain registrations rather than blackjack. When you play blackjack, your chances of coming out ahead are pretty slim. When you smartly gamble on a domain name, the prospects can be much greater. Sure, blackjack offers a faster (but shorter lived) thrill, but selling a domain name you just registered for $400 is an even bigger thrill.
Instead of going to the casino and playing blackjack, you are much better off betting on yourself!

  1. If one gambles at a casino to “win,” then that is misguided; the odds are stacked against you.
    For entertainment, sure.
    Why not? Just set aside so much “mad money,” and when it’s gone, it’s gone.
