I don't really gamble

I don't recommend gambling. It's pretty much a suckers bet.

I do, however, live in Vegas. Where every bar has gambling machines. so, I'm drinking, and decide to drop a twenty in and see what happens. I played the Keno, and I lost time and time again, till I was down to about $5. Then I hit 5 out of 6, which took me up to $39. I immediately cashed out.

then, just for the hell of it, I put one more dollar in, and played the same numbers. dropped the full dollar on it.

six of six.

which, in bar Keno, nets you $1600.

tl;dr WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOO


Tell me, SE++, of your triumphs over the system.

    I learned not to gamble from my friend.

    He was fucking amazing at poker. Just frightening.

    You know what's a REAL gamble? Those ads that come up to text message them at 55454 for an ipod or some shit.

    There's certain ones where you text them and a girl will be there right away, so it's effectively sounding like a blind escort service.

    That's gambling.

    At my old house me and my roommates would have poker tournaments a couple times a week. Usually it was just 5 people, but sometimes we'd get 10-20 guys over. It was only a ten dollar buy in but it was still a good way to make some extra money.

    the best way of playing poker was my grandpa's method of just playing every hand he was dealt like it was a royal flush

    it drove my cousin, who owns like four books on playing poker, absolutely bugshit

    Poker is pretty fun. I enjoy bluffing my way through a terrible hand and irritating my friends or co-workers.

    Yes, this is exactly what my friend would do. You'd be so sure this son of a bitch was finally bluffing, and jesus fuck full house, what the fuck damn you argh.

    I finally moved out, am still working a steady (but precarious) job, and am getting married in December.

    Things are good, though I wish I made more money.

    When I was in third grade, I went on a roadtrip. My mom, my sister, my "aunt" Sharon (My mom's big black friend who had absolutely no relation to us, but she thought it was funny to lie to us) and I.

    We went to visit Sharon's mother (Alverda Mae Cobb, one of the coolest names ever) in Salt Lake City.

    While Sharon was off with her mom, my mom took my sister and I to a bar. 'Cause, hey, it was noon. She needed a drink.

    In the corner of the bar, there was an electronic poker machine. My mom (tipsy) thought this was an excellent opportunity to teach my sister and I about the evils of gambling. She hauls us all over to the machine, and says "These things are just a way to throw your money away. Gambling is an idiot tax. You know vending machines? These are the exact fucking opposite. I'm gonna put this dollar in, and get nothing. At all."

    So she puts in a dollar and, without looking at the screen, just randomly mashes buttons.

    Her back turned, the machine lights the fuck up. There are chimes.

    She made a grand.

    Lesson learned. Thanks, mom!

    wasn't me unfortunately. but my friend was playing texas hold em at a casino up in the Minneapolis area. He got a four of a kind, but another guy at the table also had a four of a kind that beat his. The casino had a pot for anyone who loses with a four of a kind hand: $250,000... The guy who won the hand only got around $10,000 in a similar pot. fuuuuuck that. He invested all the money instead of spending it, what a jack off.
