Just came back from the Casino

[SwiZz]

It's 5:10am, just got back with a few buddies from the Blue Heron Casino (in Port Perry), about a 40 - 50 minute drive or so North-east of Toronto for those of you who don't know.

He went on a crazy streak in blackjack, just couldn't lose....he bought in for $180 at a $25 blackjack table (and this was with a continuous shuffle machine btw, which made it even more incredible). This is what he cashed out with (sorry for crappy cellphone pic):



He had some really miraculous pulls......splitting 8's against a 10, winning both, lots of 18's against a 10, and then dealer would flip over a 7. He was pulling 21's with 4-5 hits. Just really exciting to watch, drew a nice crowd too, everyone really got into it.

Oh man....gambling is really bad.....I've been through some rough times with it.....but there's such a great rush while you play. And each time seems to create a story you will almost never forget (good or bad). I'm not trying to advocate the youngsters to play....you really shouldn't gamble what you can't afford.

Yeah this post really has no point to it.....i'm just still excited. Feel free to describe any other gambling related stories.....its always fun to read.

Did you know that Canadaian VLTs + Slot Machines take in more money than all gambling in Las Vegas?

Lotteries are a tax on stupidity.

I love the casino and blackjack.

Never won more than $1000 on a $200 buy in though.

It's not that unbelievable... remember Vegas is just one city, and he is comparing to an entire country.

Vegas i snot even the top gambling capital in the world now, that honor has passed to Macau, which is making way, way more money now.

Meh. A few years back, I cashed out @ $4,000USD with a $50 buy-in (online). You win some; you lose some.

Pretty good pull you got there! Most I ever won was $1400 on a 100 buy in at the CNE casino, over the course of the week at the CNE I pulled in over $500 a night on 100 buy in.

Wonder why no one ever seems to post a thread about their losing trips to the casino?


(It's hard to find a -15% return on your investment anywhere else these days, what with the stock market running at -35% or worse.)

That site is so sensational that it is impossible to take seriously. It's like reading an article from the National Enquirer or listening to "Fair and Balanced" news from the Fox network.
