OK, Gents...........hard to type this one!
Went to Riverwind yesterday. Started early at around 8 and played until 3. Trying to win enough for my wife and I to both win a buffet and $20 in bonus play for Wednesday. I did both.
Worked very hard to not make any mistakes and only made a couple.
When I left the casino, I left my paper cash-out ticket in the machine. Cost me dearly as it was gone by the time I got back.
QUESTION: Could I have some form of A.D.D.? Does anyone have any ideas of books or exercises which train the mind to concentrate?
This is getting annoying.

Sam, I empathize with you. At our age, the slightest distraction can cause us to walk out of a restaurant without paying the bill, leave our wives sitting at the table waiting for us to come back from the restroom and get all the way home before we realize what happened. Once, I went to the casino for a couple of hours and on the way out to my car, I couldn't find my keys. I went back and looked everywhere I had been to no avail. I went out to the car and discovered that I had left them in the car with it running. Good thing I had enough gas. And nobody wanted to go for a joy ride.
It's kind of like a rattlesnake. It can strike at any time but unlike a rattlesnake, no rattle!
The worst thing is that you probably had not just your winnings, but also your original buy-in on that ticket. I don't suppose you went to the cage to see if some honest soul turned your ticket in? Fat chance of that.
Don't let it get you down,
