I was down 360$ playing baccarat (in for 400$)

Then.. Bet
20$ Banker win
40$ Banker win
80$ Banker win
25$ Banker win
50$ Banker win
50$ Banker win

I made two more bets.. unsure what amounts. Both Banker.. and Banker won both..
I bet Banker 8 hands in a row... all winners. I stayed and watched as Banker hit two more times (10 in a row) before Player won. I was tipping (and paying commission on Banker).. I ended up with exactly 400$.. Sikk run of Bankers.

Then I lost 100$ at blackjack.
Then I bet 100$ Don't Pass and won. tipped 5$
Went to same blackjack table. Bet 10$ won.
So I was up 5. I took the cash to Pai Gow.. played like 10 hands. 10$ hand, 1$ Bonus. I had profit of 6$

So I put 6$ into a 3 credit 1$ Wheel of Fortune.. Lost both. So naturally put in a 20$ got down to 1 credit (had a small pay).. put in a 5$ lost.. So in for 25$ of my the money I walked into Casino with. Went to a 25 cent 5 line Wheel of Fortune. Lost another 20$ There was a poker tournament that was 60$.. For whatever reason I decided to try going all-in every hand preflop. My logic being I can either go home right then.. OR.. have huge stack for the tournament. Yea... I'm not going to be doing that again. I got knocked out really fast.. lol. I was shipipng it in blind. Tsk tsk.

So I lost total of 105$.

OK.

this is definitely a blow-by-blow account. Maybe you should blog instead of post in the forum.

Is it "lost" or "gave away"? When the rules of a game allow you to look at the cards before wagering, it is in your best interest to look (or at least pretend to look), especially when you have no power to bluff later if your all in is called.

I think the important question is, "Was the entertainment you received worth $105?" If yes, then you did't lose at all.
