    Put it in your pocket and walk away. Do this every time you get near a casino.

  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,174 Mod ✭✭✭✭Wibbs


    Why does not surprise me. It's always the quiet ones. Oh hang on... :D

    14 red.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Looks that way.

    RIP OP. He lived too fast and died too young. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. 20 euro just isn't enough to ship him back to Ireland.

    Ya but....it's the thought that counts.
    WHY CAN'T I BE IN VEGAS NOW. THEY NEED ME THERE.

    Cos you didn't organise a trip there?
    Anyway, I'm sure it's much nicer in Canzas :)

    All on zero!

    Weird, I just finished watching an old episode of Louis Theroux in Vegas and some guy left the casino after losing $300k.
    I lost a tenner on a horse last week and sulked for the rest of the day.

    He's taking the advice here and is bogged up in the cheap hooker!


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 16,654 CMod ✭✭✭✭faceman


    Then cheap hooker was tempted but I throw my dosh down on a table.

    Threw 10 on red. Came up trumps. Pot at 30.

    Got over zealous and threw 10 down on some of your numbers. Won a bunch of chips.

    Threw more down and lost
    Then more and lost
    Then more and lost.

    Free drinks were increasing though.

    Eventually I had a ducks eggs.

    So on the walk of shame I see a Walking Dead slot machine. I throw in a fiver.

    And now I'm walking out of the casino with $27.75 in my pocket! :D

    Where to next?

    I'm psychic.

    Red 19.

    Then black 11.

    Then red 17.


    I don't need a cut. I have my gift.

    You're welcome.

    :)

    Bon chance!

    Up the strip across from the Cosmopolitan walkway there is a 7-11 where they sell hot "cheeseburger stick" things for about $2.

    Avoid there.

    But the Love Zone or whatever they call it in Planet Hollywood is close by - worth $7.75 of your dough on the roulette any day.

    Try it, see how you get on, and report back with your remaining $20.

    Possible new strategy: get a cab out to here and give us a wave.

    Does it matter with the OP ? 27.75 gotten from a slot machine after losing 15 on roulette, going to spend it trying blackjack after his dinner.

    I've had more exciting nights of gambling in Wexford than this guy is having in Vegas !
