One of the casinos where Mr. Troutbend won big last year recently offered him $25 in free slot play if he completed an online survey. It's one of those deals where you indicate on a scale of five how much you agree with each question. Usually the casino surveys ask how the room was, how the restaurants were, and what you think of their players' rewards systems.

It looks like they are trying to do a psychological study of their customers for whatever devious purpose. It'd be interesting to find out the results of such a study and what they plan to do with the information.

Are you wondering if one of us completed it and got the $25 free play? Guess!


1. I try to live my life as fully as possible, one day at a time
2. When I want to achieve something, I set goals and consider specific means for reaching those goals
3. Since whatever will be will be, it doesn't really matter what I do
4. I often think of what I should have done differently in my life
5. It gives me pleasure to think about my past
6. Taking risks keep my life from becoming boring
7. Meeting tomorrow's deadlines and doing other necessary work come before today's play
8. You can’t really plan for the future because things change so much
9. Painful past experiences keep being replayed in my mind
10. On balance, there is much more good to recall than bad in my past
11. I often follow my heart more than my head
12. It upsets me to be late for appointments
13. My life path is controlled by forces that I cannot influence
14. I've made mistakes in the past that I wish I could undo
15. I enjoy stories about how things used to be in the "good old times"
16. I find myself getting swept in the excitement of the moment
17. I complete projects by making steady progress
18. It does not make sense to worry about the future, since there is nothing I can do about it anyway
19. It's hard for me to forget unpleasant images from my youth
20. Happy memories of good times spring readily to mind
21. I prefer friends who are spontaneous rather than predictable
22. I am able to resist temptations when I know there is work to be done
23. Often luck pays off better than hard work
24. I think about the good things I've missed out in my life
25. I get nostalgic about my childhood

I think these are really good reference points for judging one's approach to life. But I don't like the scale system. Anyway, I think each question deserves a definitive response, not just a number on a scale. I am sure the aim of the questionnaire is to pinpoint your buying habits. So what else is new.

Good grief is this for real?

Yes! We won a cruise from this same casino later this month, and I am going to see if any of the other gamblers received it, and what they thought about it.
