IAG Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 I don't. I'm thinking it was probably on a college football game. I remember my first huge loss though. THAT is clear as day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAG Posted February 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Thanks for the pity post Yisman. Damn that's quick. He must have sensed early on that it would be -EV to keep you as a player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAG Posted February 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 The first time I went to a casino and played slots I won $2500. I think you fare better in the long run if you start off as a loser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Man Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 I never did the slots thing. They right across the street too. Too much noise and flashing lights, I get bad off with that kinda mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAG Posted February 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 I never did the slots thing. They right across the street too. Too much noise and flashing lights, I get bad off with that kinda mess.I don't play them anymore. I rarely go to a casino anymore. but if I do it's only table games. I guess once in a while I might stick a little in a machine, but it's rare... The first years i was in Colorado they did not have any table games, so slots were basically it at the casino. Actually they may have had blackjack, but no roulette or craps, and minimums would have been low on blackjack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always Call Heads Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 I can't believe I don't remember mine. I made three bets and won all three. One was on Oklahoma State. One was Baylor over Fresno and I can't remember the other at all. I can remember everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweeper Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 First bet i made the KYC protocol was a hand shake and a bud light.. Both parties paid promptly. A few years later I asked for a gas or electric bill and was promptly laughed at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always Call Heads Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 I can't believe I don't remember mine. I made three bets and won all three. One was on Oklahoma State. One was Baylor over Fresno and I can't remember the other at all. I can remember everything else.I vaguely remembered North Carolina State and maybe Duke and sure enough that is what it was thanks to the internet. Oklahoma State over Southwest Louisiana which I think they were only a narrow favorite was the other. I set out for Ballys because it was the only place I ever heard of. Could not find a parking spot and wound up betting at the Desert Inn. Later in the week, I also wanted to bet TCU +10 at the Stardust. Went in there at 2 a.m. and the place was packed with degens on some free football contest and I could not get the couner and turned around and walked out. Still pissed about that. I could not believe what a dump the Stardust was. That whole experience was completely absurd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonkeyF0cker Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 I opened an account with BetOnSports to bet the NCAA basketball tourney. Won about $900 riding Emeka Okafor and UConn.

mike499 Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 No but I can remember my first four figure loss had the Oakland ml in the tuck rule game.Outcome sucked but one of my favorite sports moments ever also happened in this game when Phil Simms got beaned with a snowball my dad and I still laugh about that to this day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plommer Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Do you remember your first sports bet?Do I? Absolutely. June 3rd 1997. I flew to Vegas to bet the Detroit Red Wings vs Philly in the Stanley Cup Finals. I couldn't get there for game 1 and I would have bet Detroit and they won of course but I did manage to get there for game 2 and checked in at the Imperial Palace. Headed straight for the sportsbook and tried to bet everything I had with me on Detroit +145. I approached the counter and laid out $3k and said I want it all on Detroit at +145. They wouldn't take it. First they asked to see my room key, then a couple of questions and they took my bet. After I bet the guy at the counter said I was nuts making that bet because no way was Philly going to lose 2 in a row at home. lol The reason I was so confident was because of goaltending. Detroit was beating Patrick Roy in the previous series vs Colorado. He was 10X better than Flyers goalie Hextall and in my mind I figured Detroit would score at least 3 goals every game. Went up to my room and ordered a dozen Heinekens and dinner of Australian lobster and steak and waited for the game. Called my brother in Florida and told him who to cheer for. Game was a rocking chair winner. Detroit scored first and was up 2-0 and cruised to a 4-2 win. Next day I bet another $3k on the Bulls 1st half -3 vs Utah and cashed. Ended up going home a winner of over $10K USD on that trip - all from sports betting. Yes, I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
