Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Anyone gamble

Eyeball course in LV many years ago. I won $70 and IIRC my wife won about $200 on BJ. Hell, i can play BJ.

Several years later we go to Reno for a HS Principals educational seminar.

We go that PM and i get 5 $20s to play BJ. Played at 3 freaking tables and never won a hand. I wasnt even fun entertainment getting screwed.

Id post a schitload more and a helluva lot of slips from Charles Town in WV, but I think you get the picture...lol

The guy next to me the other night won $38,000 on 4 aces. I got $100 envy payout for playing cards at that table. Last night I played a few quick hands before our reservation and won about $300 which payed for 3/4’s of our dinner. I like playing cards but don’t do it much anymore.

We’re taking the kids to Vegas for a couple days since they’ve never been and I don’t plan on playing cards much if at all.

If 300 paid for 3/4 your dinner, you ate too dayom much.

^^^This^^^. I’ve lost plenty farming cotton. 🤠

I did go to OK once with some friends to the Comanche Casino. I won $100 on the penny slot machine after playing all fuggin night. Hated it !

Cards I was never lucky at. Lost my ass twice and said never again. Hell, its been a couple months since I did slots. We lose eventually. I stick to scratch offs now. Usually 4 a paycheck. Most times $20 tickets, sometimes its $30 tickets. Lower denominations suck for me.

Your so full of schit you need a septic tank insted of a stomach dude.....


Hahahaha!!!!!







Later.......

Some days its tough just gettin up, throwin on these boots and makin that climb

I go to the casino most weekends, unless it's during hunting season. The only game I play is Texas Hold em. That way, I'm not playing against the house, just the other players at the table. Granted, this is not against professionals, just the locals. I win some, lose some, but I usually come out ahead. My winnings are what I use to buy guns.

Practically every time I've been in stores that sell the scratch-off lottery tickets and seen people cashing in winning lottery tickets, nearly everyone turns right around and uses most if not all their winnings to buy more lottery tickets right then. Some of those scratch-off games cost $20 a ticket now.

I grew up around gambling, mostly poker and craps. What good times there were, were never good enough to offset all the bad ones. Saw many more consistent losers time after time than winners. Seen them lose their entire paycheck before going home stone cold broke and wondering how they were going to take care of their families and pay due bills until next payday. They would always be back, though. Maybe not their next payday but another one soon after. This was all illegal home and back room gambling, and the majority was crooked, too.

I learned early on that gambling wasn't for me.

Hell No! if I spend money, there's something sitting there to see for it.

I went to a cement convection in Vegas about 20 years ago—it was a free trip through my employer. I sat down with $200 in my pocket at a Black Jack table—walked away with $5400 about 4 hours later.
What is it with all the free shi$$ in Vegas? The more you win the more free stuff the pit boss keeps giving you—show vouchers, food vouchers—free booze etc. For 2 years after i got home i would get an invite from the Rio to return with free room and airline ticket.
I can’t go back, you can’t be that lucky twice and I know it.\

I had to go into the local Casino to pick up a friend for a ride home, he wanted to blow a few more bucks on slots so i shoved a $20 into the machine next to his. On the second spin the machine blew up, I thought it had broken. I won $4000. I went straight to the bank and then drove straight home—don’t know what happened to my buddy—he still sittin there for all i know. Don’t feel i can ever set foot in there again either.

Ya might not want to abbreviate blackjack with BJ......

I'm a sucker for a good poker game. Dealer's choice.

Ante up.

Shooting pool or the horse track. Lucky for me no track where I live. I'm willing to bet I'm ahead on pool.

I enjoy black jack. Its a fun evening of entertainment once or twice a year. I usually take a couple hundred and see what happens.

and you hang with him?

Good man!! Beyond the call and all that...

I’m staying at a casino right now for work, weed spraying seminars in the big room where they have concerts. I walked through the slots this evening on my way to the steakhouse and holy sheet, sight straight out of a Slumlord story. 4 old ladies, two in wheelchairs and one on a rascal, all on oxygen playing the penny slots. Fuggin cigarette smoke, lights, and bells going like a Pink Floyd concert in there.

I’m saving my gambling stake for a new suppressor or another pre war S&W.

Saw my uncle piss away his whole life, wife of 33 years, two fine sons, a farm, and a string of houses at the damn Indian casinos. I’m in my 30’s starting over due to an ailing wife and some hard luck with my last couple jobs. He’s in his 60’s starting over weekly because he can’t stay out of the casino. No thanks

Last time I was in Laughlin NV we were there 10 days. and I lost/gambled away $10.

I live in the Vegas valley and I haven't dropped any money in a slot machine in 20 years. Never played a table game.
