Welcome to the world of mining.
When I started I was getting 2-3 LTC a day, and they were worth about 30 cents each.
After I mined about 200 of them, I went and gambled them away (because they weren't really worth anything... back then).
Fast forward a year and they were worth $40 each... but I had none left.
The moral of the story, is that you should look at mining for the future value the coins will have, not the value they have now.
For the last couple of months I've had my 7950s & CPU mining CannCoin.
no gambling away this time.
