can any of you guys help me?

In the last 6 months I took 3 trips to vegas, I lose unbelievable amounts on sports gambling.

but the kicker, for the last 2 months, I've been hitting up this local arcade. They have an assortment of games that you can win money. Lots of coin pusher type games which can suck money and hours from your day. But the worst is a bunch of video games that eat money like no tomorrow. They are called fish hunter or shark king....or the one that does the most damage...Ocean King.

each credit is worth a quarter....each credit is fired a bullet/gun/net and you try to catch fish. the better the fish the more it pays. i.e. the biggest fish pays 350x your shot. You can shoot anywhere from 1 - 100 credits (0.25 - $25 per shot).

it is so fun...I seen guys win thousands like nothing. seen someone win $9k and then another guy win $15k the next night. really fast paced action. I want to play right now
 
You've got to play that game with multiple people to help takr out the small fish so you can go after thr big tuna. As far as the sports gambling....The money you lost is gone you are not getting it back. Lower your stakes and treat it like entertainment.
 
reno cool
is this a purely skill based game for $? Or like a slot machine?

This is a little combination of both. You have to shoot the right fish but there is definitely a tight/looseness to the game where it will pay out at times and not pay out at times. I see ppl pumping in a few thousand and I wanna jump in and get in on the action cause I feel like it is going to pay.

Shadow you really need help when you have digressed to quarter arcade games. Go back to your old job. You have too much time on your hands? When did you go to Vegas again?

I'm at the old office today. It isn't a quarter arcade game as it sounds. I usually go in there willing to lose $300-$500 in a sitting. Most I ever won in one session is about $1600. I went to vegas once in late july or early aug for a day. Then In October for bachelor party. Then went one more time in early December with the wife for a weekend.

I don't know to what extent this is serious but here's one thing I do know: there is no better place to get advice on this topic than a forum like this.

People on forums'll fix gambling problems right up.

if I go somewhere else for advice they might tell me to stop....as opposed to a small tweak that may make me profitable or "not have a problem" anymore

It was that last trip in Dec I guess I didn't know about. I have never seen an arcade deal that pays real money. Interesting.

that is the underground craze here...gambling in almost all forms illegal in Hawaii...no lottery, no scratchcards, nothing.....but these are "sweepstakes" or whatever....because it incorporates skill and is a sweepstake format I guess it is legal
