Gamblers' Safe

I used to have a Gamblers' Safe. It is a sturdy metal box about the size of a pack of cigarettes with a tiny hole for inserting currency, and a key lock. The idea is you leave the key at home, and while gambling you insert your winnings or other money you would like to protect from your own degeneracy. One time I managed to stuff maybe $4K into the sucker and yes, it was all still there when I got home.

Does anybody know if this product is still being made, and if so, who sells 'em?

Thanks for the link (this is a similar but not identical product to the one I originally purchased).

And to any of you snarks out there who claim to be immune from degen behavior, tell me another good one.

Drink heavily so you forget the combination. Have it written down at home.

ahahaha...no!

To an experienced degen this just sounds so ridiculous. It's like my single friends that say "I imagine when I find the perfect girl for me we'll never fight".

You can't fight being a degen, you just have to learn to work around it.
