Senior cruise in 2012, won $1800 at the craps table. Put $20 down on the midnight bet (roll a twelve) for every roll. Pay out is 30-1. Id hit it, win 600, lose a few times, then it would
Hit again. Did this for about an hour. Walked away with 1800 when it was all said and done. Paid for the whole trip and still had cash left over.

Ive never bet that again. Its a suckers bet, i just happened to be lucky that day.

Must have played the field. That doubles your money, but so does the pass line when you don't put odds behind it.

I was the shooter for 3 turns. I did nothing fancy with odds, all I did was put mony on the pass line. 100 became 200 and then 200 became 400 and then 400 became 800. I had such a big woody at that point I could not get close enough to the table to throw dice so I left...

I would have gotten up as well. Was playing a few weeks ago and the moron next to me doubled down on 12.....hits a 9 and wins the hand. I got up immediately and walked to another table.

This one time I was in vegas for a bachelor party with three friends. Well, two friends and one soon to be family member of the groom.

Anyway, the first night there we got SMASHED...like blackout smashed. Not sure what happened, but when we woke up the next day we couldn't find the groom.

We searched high and low for a few days, met Mike Tyson, my buddy married a hooker and as is turns out we ended up losing like $80k of some high rollers money and he said he was going to kill our friend (the groom) if we didn't pay him back.

As luck would have it, the soon to be family member of the groom had the ability to count cards and in one sitting we won back over $80k. It was truly amazing.

He wins, and wins decently with doubling down, yet he's the moron?

I understand there is math behind it, but ultimately it's still all chance.

Wow man, have you thought about writing a book or maybe a movie??? Seems like people would be interested in the story.

I don't really gamble all that often or with that much money.

The best I have ever done was actually pretty recently at the Fairgrounds. I bet a win-place-show $2 per bet, so $6 total on a horse that closed out at 48:1 odds just for the shits of it. Sure enough that horse won that race, and the payout was about $150. My boy B Day.

Have a couple...

Wrecked my car and only had liability, no collision insurance. Took the 1600 I had in an account and ran it up to 22k over a few weeks. Went and paid cash for a new car.

Best single day ever, had 3 games I loved. Bet all three big in straight bets, parleys, and reverses. Last game was the dodgers in a late game. Knew the first two had hit, was out partying in west palm with a buddy. About 1am, we were at blue martini and saw the dodgers had just won. If they had lost I would have been break even. They won and I won 26k.

Turned $500 into $3500 on a craps table. Definitely my best heater.

Put $3k on LSU vs TCU, walked out with $6k.

Then put $4k on LSU moneyline vs UGA.

Luckily, I am able to avoid you and your $10 bet by playing quarters or $50

Decided to play no limit holdem at a casino.

I got pocket 8's and called a preflop raise to about 20 dollars.

Flop: Q 8 5 (rainbow)

Player 1 bets $40. I raise to $140. Player 3 who had just sat down with about $350 goes all in.

I think....and I think....and I call. Fool had Q 5.

I took his money and he left.

Most painful loss I have ever had was by far the AU-Fsu game. I was in vegas for the seccg and put down a few bets on AU to beat Fsu then. Was back the Thursday before the game and the moneyline just kept rising everyday so I kept buying more and more bet slips on AU. Ended up with about 15 bets on AU to win and a couple of small ones plus the points.

Raised hell the entire game. When AU lost it was like getting kicked in the nuts over and over to begin with but add on top of it about $8k in would be winnings gone.

I'm 29 and I would 100% get up from your table as well. I have no problem with you splitting 10's when you are playing 1-on-1 against the dealer, but when my cards are involved too, I'm gonna get testy.


I've never understood this logic. How do you know he's not jumping on a bad card for you?
