Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What's the most you ever won in Vegas?

I guess that sort of team blackjack play requires splitting the win between lots of people, but there's no way that's worth it. Even just within the realm of advantage play (ignoring learning how to beat poker or sports outright) there are far better options.

I don't gamble, but one time I did walk by a slot machine and dropped a dollar in it, pulled the handle and just kept walking. I wanted to say I had played the slots.

Never been to the place.

Does an STD count?

Couple hundred.

Did watch a guy at a blackjack table playing 3 hands at once, at $10,000 each hand.

Last time I was in Vegas I started at a blackjack table with $300. When I went to bed the next morning I had $4700. By the following morning I had $20 for a cab to the airport.

I’m dead even, unless you want to count the money I’m ahead by not ever going. I’d rather go to Pittsburgh to sample the fine seafood.

Never was a gambler, but was a player for a few years, Vegas, Tahoe, Reno, Carson city, Made enough to buy my first ranch and pay cash for it. piled all my stuff on the king sized bed wrapped it up in the bed spread and left, never looked back, drove thru Vegas, 5 tears ago never stopped, I have had my fill of being a player and Gambling Joints. No Regrets. Rio7

I can't begin to describe how much money I've won by staying the hell away from vegas.

Never been, but my future SIL won 300,000 the summer before last, playing poker.

Oh, by the way, I lived in Las Vegas for 3 years, also Lived in Fallon (right outside Reno) for 3 years. add up all the detachments and exercises I went to Nevada for, I spend a good part of My 28 years Navy living and operating in Nevada. It's actually a great place to live..well, it was, I hear the Cali Libs are migrating in nowadays.

I was three.

$0.00. I lost the same amount.

One better. I saved the cost of a room and transportation there and back. They did not build that place by paying people to come there.

$750 playing Craps. I love throwing dice. The dozen or so times I have played, I have lost money twice.

The 1st time doesn't count. I called the $200 I lost tuition money.

The most memorable thing ever happened in Vegas was named Mia.

Its funny when you go to Vegas because of business, you don't really think of gambling, even staying in a casino - at least I don't. I've been 4 times now. I will say I noticed a few married men with women that weren't there wives our first night out.

kinda funny story, we had a conference at the Venetian and each room had a mini-bar in it. Only they just didn't have alcohol and snacks, they also had adult novelties ([bleep] and vibrators). We paid the hotel $10K to go around to each room before our conference to take those out.

When I lived on the gulf coast my wife and I would hit the casinos in Biloxi. She got a big jackpot off slots once. Dude met us with a form we had to fill out and they took out taxes on it immediately. Soured me on the whole experience.

Can't really say for sure. Something over a million I guess - a few times.

I've been to Vegas twice, both times for weddings. I think I'm down $40 now, thats all I played. Rented a Corvette for $150/day from the hotel rental car place and put 800 miles on it driving up to Zion/Bryce Canyon and all over Utah, that was pretty good return on the money.

For me, long time ago in Reno I won -- 408 quarters --- when I hit --- the quarters came spitting out for what seem a long time. People close to me were watching and laughing along with me ... I collected my winnings and went home. It was good! Slots don't pay out in coins anymore, just paper. It's not the same.
