At the last second, after work tonight, five of us decided to drive from vermont up to montreal. We first hit the casino, and I was ON FIRE. I started out by taking 50CDN from the atm and went to a 15 dollar table playing blackjack. Well I started out really hot, and seriously won about 90percent of the time. I quickly went from 50 bucks to 400, then went from 400 to about 900 in about an hour.... I lost a couple of hands, and ended up walking away with 750CDN, which is about 550 USD.... we then went to the next best thing, Club Super Sex, on the famous St. Catherine street. I had never been before and it was just CRAZY. No one at work is going to believe how much money I won tomorrow, which I have to be there in four hours :p CHEERS and many :beers;

BUMP - 4/15 ... Just finished reading Bringing Down the House :p... I picked it up today around noon, finished it in less than 10 hours :) Excellent read. I spend most of my winnings from last weekend, but plan on taking home just as much this weekend, and will experiment with card counting and just really good BS (basic stragedy). All the girls at work want me to take them up, and one is going to go along with hopefully a couple of fine ladies if you know what i mean. Wish me luck.

BUMP 4/18 - Everyone got out of work early yesterday and we got to montreal at about 7:30pm... I took 100 bucks this time out of the ATM. I started out horribly, and was down to 15 bucks, the mininum for the table, I kept going though, and next thing i knew, I was about about 600 bucks.. i figured i would go for another hour or so, and then was back down in the 400 range, at that point, i said screw it, and started doing a 75-100 bucks a hand :p The final three hands were unfreakingbelievable, two blackjacks in a row, and then a 20 all with 100 bucks riding on them. :) I ended up walking away with 900 bucks. We went straight to downtown Montreal, and it was absouletly insane, because of montreal winning against the bruins... people were running in the street, holding on their horns. We hit the strip club and it was packed, but we still managed to have a good time. Long story short, I am ahead about 1600 bucks, and probaly wont go back there for about a month.

I started playing 15 a hand, and won about the first ten hands in a row. I knew that I was going to cool down so I sat out for a little bit, then got back into it at about 25-50 dollars a hand. Near the end I was doing 75-100 a hand, and still would rarely lose. I am a luckly SOB :p All the other people at the table were geting mad I could tell, because I was just not losing. I pretty much came up with my own method of counting and just playing smart. I plan on going back next weekend with about 3 ladies:p :p, can anyone recommend a easy to learn read that about counting to keep my skills up?

Yes, you are lucky. When you come back next week with a sob story about losing $1500, I'll flip you a 20chip and watch you build back up.

I think we are going up next week for fun... one of the girls from work wants to go up and play a little bit, and shes going to bring friends, plus shes dieing to go to the strip clubs with us. :p I have been to the casino about 5 times now, and I am up easily 1200 bucks, and have never been down. I know when to quit, and my friends are good enough to literally pull me away from the table like they did last night to make sure I quit while i am ahead. :)
