I piss off old people when I play blackjack so I usually don't hang around long.

"This is bad blackjack, I can't stay here."

Guess what, I'll split tens if I damn well please!

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.

Anyways, I don't have any great stories of myself, but my best friend put together a 12-team parlay on the NFL a few years back about 5 minutes before the noon games kicked off. Just went down the line clicking a mix of spreads and moneylines. He got some miracle covers on Sunday and won all 11. Had the Monday night Saints/Titans game riding and had the Titans picked to cover. He risked $1 to win $2800 and change. I was begging him to middle the bet and walk away with $1400 in his pocket, but he wouldn't budge. I finally convinced him to at least bet the Saints for $500 2nd half with our local bookie to make sure he didn't walk away empty handed. Titans covered and he walked away with $2250 in his pocket. Would have won all $2800 if he didn't listen to me. His story was featured on Bodog but I can't link it due to gambling sites being blocked at work. Feel free to search it up though.
