I've noticed a few people with crazy luck, then I look back at myself.

--My first job out of college.... they go out of business.
--My second job out of college...flips books... pulls an enron like stock drive... govt ends up bailing them out... I quit..
--3rd job I get fired from. New supervisor comes in and give me the axe to get their own "gal" in their.
--4th job cuts 33% of their staff on 1 year aniversary, I'm let go on Christmas eve.
--5th job cuts almost 1/2 of their staff a little after 1 year aniversary.

5 jobs in 7 years. 4 of 5 I get laid off or get the axe. My car has been hit 6 times in the past 3 years in parking lots. Windshield broken 2 times in past 3.

Start thinking about why I stopped going to casinos (cept for poker tournies)

Never hit anything more then 30 credits on a slot machine. I threw away over 1000 dollars before I realized how lame it is to put quarter(s) in a box and never get anything in return.

At blackjack. Play the odds. Double and split when I'm supposed to. Use a card counting system. Odds should be even or slightly in my favor when I get into the shoe.... but still lose 90% of the time. Friends didn't play the odds as well as I, but still win much more often.

I'm not looking for pity. Anyone else have horrible luck across the board like this? Or is it just me.
