Default I had the Craps in Vegas last night

100$ on the craps table turned into 1600$
I was really buzzed ( no drunk) Put 800$ in the field on the double off a whim. Hit a 10.I kept doubling every time I won.Got to 400 doubled,got to 8 doubled.Then I smartly walked away.Kinda! Put another 100 on wheel of fortune and won 200 more.The Palace Station treated me well.Good night, bad morning working hung over in 103 degree heat Friday morning.I could buy a new bike,but I think I will save it instead.Well maybe!

Sweet! Good for you for being able to walk away. I always play Blackjack when I'm in Vegas and I'll be damned if I can ever leave when I'm up. But I figure if I walk away with what I sat down with, then I'm still a winner.

And that Palace Station has some really nice digs for the money, huh? I stayed there a couple of months ago. Sweet room for not a lot of cash.

what is this save you are talking about?

Look at it this way. You only took $100 out of your own pocket and that was your pay for you entertainment for the night of gambling. The money you won is just a bonus. I say get a new bike, forget about saving your bonus money.

I left $600 in Vegas last week on the craps table at least someone brought it back.

Are you still in Vegas? If so, get back to SoCal before $1600 dwindles down to a $5 dollar bill you are slipping into a slot machine at the airport as you board the plane.

I left $300 at the World Series of Poker and about 4-5 more at random tables last week when I was there for work.
