my las vegas experience

[Bleep]

Nah - Blackjack has crappy odds if you dont count from the beginning of the shoe. I prefer Craps, myself

You are absolutly right!!
No card counting in BJ anymore to many cards.
As the origonal poster found out Money management is a must when gambling, any good book on gambling will tell you that. To cheap to buy a $10.00 book cost you a lot of money.

Bleep

black jack is the only game where you have anywhere an even chance if your competent.

all other games favour the house so much its not funny.


games at indian casinos are unregulated and favour the house so much its not funny. skimming slot matchine payoffs(who the hell counts all those coins eh?), machines that almost never pay off etc. even blackjack is fuxored there.

never go to an indian casino.

It's not too late to borrow some more money and win your losses back.
Get back on that horse! when the going gets tough the tough get going.
If at first you fail try try again. Aight you get the idea, don't let the man beat you down!







Man what a tool, but im sure there's worse stories out there.
they Don't call it the Lost wages for nothing.

I had 10 grand, which took me 3 years to save this much working as a waitor. a friend and I get together and decided we hit las vegas for the weekend and try to double or triple our money. The first day, i won 2 grand. second day, i lost 7 grand bringing to a lost of 5k. 3rd day, i end up with 0. Well since I have no $$$ left, i guess that mean its game over for me. I guess thing didn't work out as i planned, and this is one reason why the rich, get richer. Just lacked a little common sense, been warned by others that i was going to lose.

You're GREEDY and it got 10g from you...What the hell did you lose it on? Which casino(s)?

Funny stuff!

The next time you get an urge to blow $10,000 - I'd suggest looking into some "penny stocks". There are plenty of stocks in the market that sell for less than $1.00 a share. Find 2 that you think look promising (by which I mean, things you personally think will succeed) and put $5k into each of them.

If the company makes it, you could reasonably see a 10x return on your investment. If they don't, the money is gone but in theory you were basically supporting someone else's good idea.

If that doesn't appeal to you, you could actually daytrade pretty succesfully with $10,000. I was doing it at the market's worst and still managed to end up a thousand or two.

And of course, $10k would actually make a decent house downpayment or get you a pretty solid used car.

But if you had fun blowing the cash - then it was worth it!

Man, dude, at least save some money and get laid before blowing it on the house.

"The house always win."

i commend you for saving $10,000 in the first place...don't worry, you'll get 'em back in 2006

[0roo0roo]

personally ii woulda blown it on a sweet home theater system those don't dissapear easily

 

[amnesiac]

What's with your "rich get richer" crap?

My family is rich because we WORK hard and INVEST our money into things that give a return, not gambling it like some friggin doofus.

Then again, you'll likely be stuck at your "waitor" job until you can learn how to spell it.

Key word is easily. Sometimes you can wake up in the middle of the night and the damn thing magically carries itself out the window!

 

[yobarman]

you suck at life

 

[Shantanu]

This makes me feel better about myself.

 

[007bond]

Uh wow, that was a really dumb thing to do.

 

[CubicZirconia]

7 grand in one day?! Simply amazing...

 

[brtspears2]

I would have bought a new car. $100 max is the most I drop. But thanks for helping them keep their lights on for everyone else to enjoy.

You should have called it quits after winning the $2K, laughing at the casino. Don't keep continuing to play just because there's a few days left of your vacation.

:Q

I'm going on a skiing and gambling trip in May... I don't think I'll even have $200 to gamble with

But isn't it human nature to keep on gambling? We seem to be incredibly greedy.

 

[FelixDeCat]

Poor guy. Lose $50,000 and then brag but be sure to save a little money for your funeral.

 

[thomsbrain]

i'd flame you, but i don't have the heart. i can only say i pity you.

besides, everyone knows that the only way to do las vegas is on powerful mind altering substances! (see sig)

 

[nater]

Get a 10k loan from your professor and head back to the tables! You don't want KGB on your back!

 

[poopaskoopa]

[Linux23]
