Gambling in prison

The one thing you should never do in prison is gamble. Gambling starts all kinds of problems. Most of the time when someone asks if you want to gamble in a card game, they are planning to cheat in some way. Usually they are too good at it to be caught.

I myself am pretty good at the tricks, but refuse to gamble. Say I started to win, then I go to collect my debt and of course that person is already mad because they lost.  So why you ask for your money, they’ll probably keep giving you excuses until they get so made they want to fight.  Now let’s say you lose. The person you lose to is going to want your money ASAP. If you’re like a lot of people in here and have no money, you’re going to try and avoid them like the plague until they catch up to you and make you pay. So really it’s a lose-lose situation. Gambling causes so many problems, but yet people keep doing it.

I need my money too much to risk it in a poker game, so I just stay away. It’s really the smartest thing to do. Especially in prison.
