All started St Patrick's weekend. I had a really good night and was feeling really lucky, so I decided to hit the casino (i've gambled a total of two times in the last two years)... Hit the blackjack table with $80 Canadian... I worked that 80 bucks pretty good because before I know it I'm playing $300 hands of blackjack and doubling down -- and winning!
When I first got in I was basically planning on cashing out when I was up $100...
Anyways now i'm in the 4 figures... 1k, 2k, 3k and kept bouncing up and down until I was up 7k... I decided to take some serious risks, got down to 4k then jumped up to $11,800 at my peak... at which point I call it quits...
Next day I get a call from the casino... they convinced me to go back and gamble some more and they insured my losses by 20%...
Anywho, long story short I walked with $4800 Canadian.
Not bad for starting with 80 bucks but I'm still pissed
Oh well, that's gambling for ya... I wouldn't have gotten that high without taking some major risks in the first place but damn it sucks to have gotten so high and then losing it... honestly I would have been so much happier now if I would have just lost that 80 bucks and been done with it.
Anyways even though I managed to walk with about 5k I still feel like the casino won.
Oh well, that's the end of my rant
