I’m very envy of the ability to lose and have a great time
I’m down like $2500 but…. It was all in the budget so whatever. That’s what budgets are for. Also, I plan on running it up in old Vegas tomorrow. I met a “Credit Expert” aka prostitute who has “clients” in the Cosmo tonight playing Kai Gow. She was a great time and actually did help me answer a question with my credit! Thanks Lyanne!
Me, my wife, and idiot buddies were just playing BJ for $25 a hand when a guy takes the last seat at the table and plops down $4,000 a hand for 3 hands in a row and loses it all. I asked if he wanted us to sit out but he said nope. Seemed like a nice guy but wow. $12k gone in 3 hands…

Those situations are so brutal when you can tell they need the money, almost always either total desperation or a legitimate gambling problem.

Not sure what happened exactly but I was playing craps somewhere and two dudes came and started playing. I’m not sure exactly what they were doing but the croupiers weren’t happy and raised the table limit. Above what me and my friends could play. The two dudes took offense to this and started pouring money on the table bet locations and were winning when they just shut the table down. Was weird.
I have no idea what that last thing is and I’m gonna say that whole place gets a hard pass from me.

That’s Balut I assume. Never had it, but practice might be +ev if he plans on participating on an appearance on the 2004 season of Fear Factor

Whenever I see someone blow what would for most people be a significant if not life changing amount of money in a casino I always assume that they are super rich and it’s nothing to them, but I know that’s probably not always the case. What’s that stat, something like half the country couldn’t even afford a $400 emergency. Yet so often I see someone get felted at the table and they debate going to the ATM for more. In my head I’m trying to tell them no, don’t do it. As much as I want your money on the table, I know this is going to hurt you later and you shouldn’t do it. Yet they almost always do.
Maybe this is more for the gambling addiction thread. In order for gambling to really be fun for me, it has to be an amount that sort of stings a little bit if I lose, or lifts me up with a win. Too little and the whole thing is boring. Too much and there could be real life consequences. Finding that sweet spot has always been something I try real hard to do.

I’ve only lost an amount that really mattered to me a few times, and it felt bad enough for me to never risk that feeling again.
Hmm

I had a friend lose his entire paycheck in Blackjack at a bar after he got his check and had to move back in with his parents lmao. That taught all of us around him.
Tomorrow is the day. I’m pumped. I’m leading a convoy of 6 cars from Silverthorne, CO. I have this drive down to a science. Wheels rolling at 5am. 2 hours, first stop in Parachute, CO at 7am. Pee break. 2 more hours, second stop in Green River, UT 9am. Pee, gas, and food. 2.5 hours, third stop in Beaver, UT at noon. Gas and pee. From there it’s 3 hours to Vegas, with the hour time change in AZ, we arrive at 2pm. There’s a 4th optional stop in Mesquite, NV upon request. What I do after that, I have no idea. Probably relax a bit, shower, maybe a nap, then hit the strip for some pokering.

You must be staying very well hydrated during this drive. Have a safe and great trip!!!
A few years ago I flew into Vegas on a Thursday a couple hours before my friends. We were all staying at Paris. I went downstairs after checking in to kill time before the rest of my party arrived. I walked up to a $5 craps table and played boring low limit craps with boring people on a boring afternoon at Paris. In the middle of someone’s roll (point already established) a well-dressed middle aged man of Mediterranean / ME descent walks up to the table and puts chip colors I didn’t recognize across 45689T mid roll. It was roughly $120,000. The shooter immediately rolled a 7. Mystery man signs a marker for another quarter million in chips. Next person shoots. Point is established. Gentleman again placed roughly 120K across the numbers. Shooter rolls a 7. It is now my turn to shoot and I walk away.

I have a cooler stocked with waters and gatorade on ice ready to go. I will have the AC set to meat locker for the drive as well. I also have to balance hydration while also trying to limit pee stops.

I asked the server what Scotch they had and she said just Sewer’s. That can’t be right.
Dewar’s maybe. Sewer’s scotch doesn’t sound very appetizing. Though its about what I think of scotch in general.
