I went to Atlantic City this weekend, and I have a confession to make: I totally became a "lurker."

About halfway through the day, I noticed that there was this girl who seemed to always happen to sit near me. And she kept winning. So when she would get up, I'd take over her machine. Sometimes I'd be pretty open about it; other times, I'd pretend to walk away, and then would turn around and come back. And it worked! Up until then, I was losing everything. Then it turned around. I won about $300, which isn't my personal best, but considering I was playing quarter slots, not too shabby.

I know this probably breaks some sort of casino ethics (as if), but I couldn't help it. She didn't seem to notice, or if she did, she didn't say anything. It's not like I was taking her luck, because she was done with the machines.

So that's me, the lurker. Hey, we all got our issues.
