hels Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 The last poker table shut down at about 4:15am and I had to sit and wait in the bus station until 5:30am. I probably should have just wandered the casino but I went to the bus station and sat outside in the cold. This was in 2006 for those of you who understood my situation back then.

plommer Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Florida Jai-Alai. I went twice in my life (back in the early 90's), lost a shitload both times - WTF was I thinking betting on that crap? I think I was the only white guy one night at Orlando Jai Alai.

pokerjoe Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Now, I just vicariously degen through Tony Bigcharles. But the one time I got most angry at myself for gambling-gambling is the last time I ever shot dice. It's not an awesome story, but it's easy to remember because it's all 20's and 40's. I'm playing the 20/40 limit at the Mirage, maybe 20 years ago. I'm there about 20 hours, and have a little more than 2,400 in front of me at the end, which was just a push (hence the 20 hour session, which I could do back in the day). The game breaks at maybe 4 a.m. and another game broke at the same time and they only had one window open in the poker room and a line had formed. Puggy Pearson was having a problem with the cage and the line wasn't moving, so I decided go to the main cage to cash out, which wasn't far away. Getting there entailed walking by the craps pit, where someone was holding a long hand, apparently. Because I was up maybe 20 bucks, 40 bucks, whatever it was, from poker, I decided to just gamble that little bit of profit. Less than 20 minutes later I'd lost the whole 2,400. I don't need to describe the feeling I had, walking out of there. You guys already know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Was staying at the flamingo back in either 2000 or 2001, was about 21 years old, my gf was getting in the shower before dinner so I said I'm gonna go down to the bar and have a beer I'll be back in a half hour and she said ok. I got back in a half hour like I said I would only problem is I lost about 2500 in 20 minutes at the bj table and never told her what happened, felt like such a fuckng degebnerate lmfao!

James D Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I have a friend in LA who told me this one.......... He used to Ref children's basketball games, he and the other ref would bet twenty bucks on the nights 2 out of 3 games. Last night of the regular season they decide to up the bet to dinner at Ruth Chris steakhouse with the girlfriends. How the bet worked was one guy each night made the spread and the other guy took the sides he wanted. So they were tied up 1-1 in games and my friend had the better team -5 points with under ten seconds left. Problem was they were up 3 and the other team had the ball. My friend then decided to fix a basketball game involving eight year olds.......The inbound was clean and my friend immediately called a moving pick that never happened. The coach of the losing team got upset, but not terribly, yet he still got a technical foul called against him for his efforts. Now he got even more upset and the second tech was called assuring four free throws for my friends team and the coaches ejection. The parents are very angry and going fuckin insane. The kid they choose to shoot steps up and hits 2of 3 to get the number to 5 and a push, the kid lines up for the meaningless to everyone else final FT and hits the rim........and my friend calls a lane violation against a kid that hasn't moved an inch. The fuckin team is down 5 with eight seconds left, they aren't fighting for the rebound. But the ref with a hankering for a free meal doesn't care. He calls the lane violation at this point the other ref is just shaking his head in half amusement and half disbelief that he is losing a fixed game that he is refereeing! The kid drains the next free throw to get the game to six but my friend is not out of the woods yet. The other team has eight seconds for the back door layup we all have seen 1000 times in our gambling lives.. However in all these instances we were not refereeing the game. Once the ball gets past half court my friend calls traveling, his fifth phantom call in the final ten seconds of play. At this point it's a fucking madhouse the parents are so irate but the winning team just inbounds the ball and the game ends. After changing clothes my friend actually left the school through the back door and snuck to his car to avoid enraged parents waiting for him. At Ruth Chris he even loaded up at dinner with lots of appetizers and booze just to stick his friend one last time, the girls had no idea what went down.

richsox24 Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 On my most recent trip to Vegas with a friend of mine (mainly to play poker), we brought a deck of cards on the plane and I managed to lose $900 during the 4 hour flight. Talk about being behind the 8 ball before you even arrive in Vegas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxman Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I always fly out of concourse D. They closed the bar down at the end of the concourse to build a friggin TGI Fridays. So, now they sell cocktails in this open kind of walk up thing. It never fails. Get a drink and sit down and some big fat mouth breathing hillbilly plays the slot machine about 3 feet from the table I am at. So, now the new stop is the California Pizza Kitchen at the top of the escalator from the train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadillac Pete Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Placed bets the day of my wedding. I also made bets on my honeymoon from the cruise ship. The bill for the internet usage was outrageous. On one occasion, I couldn't make it to the internet cafe and used my room phone to call in the bets b/c I had no cell service..ouch!!
