Had a pretty decent time in Vegas until the last day..(more like the last hour).

Let me tell you about this EVIL machine.
There is this blackjack video machine that let you DOUBLE UP your win indefinately.
Basically you pick high or low card to double up so its a 50/50 chance to win.

So I was up $400 first day, then I blew it all at that machine in like 30mins.
Ok, so slowly through the next 3 days, I was back up to $200.

So for our last night out, we were playing so and so and I decided to try this machine again.
Boy, did it rape me. I kept doubling up 2-3 times after every win and the damm machine kept going high and I kept going low.

My friends kept trying to stop me from doubling up so many times but I refused to listen.

This god damm machine defied all logic. Of the about 40 times I double up it must have went high 30+ times.
You know the logic of "if you flip a coin 100 times, it will be probably close to 50/50"
Well, this logic didn't work and I got raped


In a span of about 40mins, that machine took about $900 from me.
I didn't learn my lesson the first time.

Thats my Vegas rant of the day........Otherwise it was a great trip....saw many celebrity as it was Hoya-Mosley fight that weekend.

I have ABSOLUTELY NO sympathy for a moron that willingly puts his money in a machine that sells NOTHING except a chance at greater wealth and then B1tches about it.

That's why I hate video poker/blackjack whatever.. I'd rather play with a dealer. :\

I've played that game. I personally like it, but then again it has been friendly to me. I've introduced a lot of friends to it, and they like it also. But they were the quarter gamblers...

Next time, quit playing or don't double as much. I usually just pick what I;m going to do, say H-L-H, and stick to it every time. I got up to 5 in a row once, but my friends talked me out of trying for 6. Oh well...
How much were your initialbets?

This god damm machine defied all logic.

And as we all know, Vegas was built on games of logic.

You want a game of skill? Play poker.
You want decent odds? Play Blackjack.
You want to leave Vegas with a dick in your ass? Play video poker.

Learn Hi-Lo counting system and just stick to BlackJack for the best chance of winning some money at Vegas to spend at Crazy Horse.

it's amazing. people go into multibillion dollar hotels, eat free food, see great entertainment and are shocked that they lose money.
