Shortest TR Ever!!

**auntwinny** · 02-13-2012, 07:56 PM

This weekend I was babysitting my granddaughters at my daughter's house, 5 minutes away from MS Pocono Downs. Saturday was a giveaway and I knew I had "at least" $75 in FP plus a chance to win something better, a car, etc. Well, the FP was burning a hole in my pocket even though I didn't really have it in my pocket-LOL. I convinced my 85 year old mom to watch the girls and ran over to PD. Turns out my FP was actually $90!! Played the machines at 90 cents/$1 a spin (that's lowballing for me

Hit a few wins at $30 each, lost it all, left and was back home in an hour. That's it, end of TR-LOL

Side note: I was very proud of myself that I actually exhibited self control and left. It was very difficult but I proved to myself that I could walk away. (Of course, I couldn't get on a WWII machine or the TR might have had a totally different outcome

At least you have the satisfaction of not having any holes in your pockets.

I love those quick trips, win or lose! Sometimes being on a tight schedule can keep you from losing too much. Or, in your case, you had an hour of fun on Pocono! The WWII's there don't like me much.. NONE of the 4!

I have never gotten on a WWII there, always slot hogs hogging it up! Good discipline Lynda and kudos to mom for taking over your duties while you were "working"..

Hey you tried, and that's the only way you could ever win... by playing!!

Ken, I knew I was in trouble when I called and my mom asked me what she should feed the girls for lunch, cause they were hungry. My "nana" guilt kicked in & I knew it was time to go-LOL!!!

They definitely hog up those machines any time I've been there - kinda like what we're going to be doing in 2 weeks at our second OWW2!!!

Lynda, come to World Resorts NY--they have plenty of WWII and they are always empty--cause they are always cold!--LOL! You walked away a winner in my book. Very very proud of you!
