I was in college and had my last $100 bucks towards the end of the semester. I needed $700 in order meet my obligations for the rest of month. I took that c-note and went to the casino at let it ride on craps. I hit 3 in a row doubling down. Mission accomplished, so I left.

This one time, I quit gambling. And so far have stuck to it.

19 or 20 and was already down 700 for the week. Only game to bet on was astros and dodgers. I put 500 on LA (would have lost 775) and the astros led 1-0 going into the 9th. Strawberry hit a 2 run shot or maybe a solo and they won in extra? I was happy only losing 200 instead of 1500

There are people who love to say I won $$, blah blah blah last night.
I always respond with well what did you clear?.....Lifetime
The house always wins, no matter how good you think you are at a game of pure chance and odds.

I don't gamble much but I do have a CSB about my first time gambling
sat down with 100 bucks at a 1/2 dollar blind hold em table at harrahs NOLA right after I turned 21. Was nervous as shite. I had played a ton of home games but never sat down with that amount of money in front of me.
Anyway, long story short, I was dealt AQ my first hand and flopped a straight. Eventually guy forces me all in. Freaking out because it was my first hand and I think there were 3 hearts showing or something that suggest I may have ran into someone catching a flush or something on the river. Called after convincing myself that it would be okay if I lost Ended up beating his two pair and was very excited.
Very next hand, dealt AJ. Catch a full house on the turn. Go all in and get a call. Dude turns over another AJ and we chop.
buddy and I played another 45 minutes and walked away with about $250. Nothing major obviously but kind of crazy for a first experience

The only cool gambling story that anyone could present and it actually be worth a shite is,
"I own the fricking casino"

When I didn't have much money, I put up like $1,500 to win only about $300 on Lennox Lewis against one of the Klitshkos. Sat in disgust at a sportsbook while Klitchko dominated, took off to eat dinner at another hotel, and when I got to there saw that Lewis got lucky and cut his eye, winning on a TKO.

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.

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.

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.

Ciron Black's lack of poker skills paid for the Xbox and flat screen in my college house.
