Turned $30 into $1500...

Rainy day, I'm off Thursdays. I had to go to the doctor, the pharmacy, and the grocery store (Wegmans)... Wegman's is only 5 minutes from Mohegan!

I took my $30 in free play to a quarter slot, and turned it into $75.

I took that $75 to a $5 slot and turned it into $400.

I took that $400 to the 3 Card table and on the 3rd hand hit AKQ of diamonds, with quarters bet and the dealer qualifying! I tipped her and decided it was time to go to the grocery store. Total time in the casino, maybe 20 minutes. We're having some nice dry-aged ribeyes for dinner tonight!


Now of course I'm not going to write about all those times I turned $1500 into $30. Those stories are not any fun to experience, or write.

Luck... no, there is no such thing as luck, if by that you mean a force acting on the cards, or dice, or wheels. But it is a pretty decent word to use to describe what happened. A confluence of results involving me holding the cards.

I'm glad someone's been paying attention ;)

Congratulations on the big wins.

That's OK. We wouldn't believe you anyway. Nobody turns $1,500 into $30 and stops. A real gambler turns it into ZERO!
LOL

Congratulations Mosca, and great story. Nice to see something other than highway merging and Social Security.

I had visions of doing the same thing last Friday. I had a $30 table games voucher at Horseshoe Council Bluffs. So I approach the craps table intending to first double my $30 on the pass line, then play all the hard ways for the big payoff. I place my voucher on the felt, and while waiting for my chips, I grimace when the shooter first tosses a seven, pass line winner. Then I smile when, as I'm still waiting, he throws craps. Finally I get my chips, 20 $1 chips (it's a $3 table early in the morning) and 2 reds. I place the whole tall stack on the pass line and watch as shooter throws a nine. Next roll, seven out. Oh, well.

LOL, that is so true! Then cashing out what little comps you have so you can tip the valet on your way out!

Exactly.

Congrats, Mosca.

I finally figured out that we agree, but were talking about different things. You were referring to luck as a force. I was using it to describe something that has already happened, or something anticipated. There is no luck as action, only as a descriptive.

Was this from the Swipe/Wipe Wednesday/Thursday in September Special?

If so, what number did you hit? Best I ever did on those Swipe/Wipes was $10!

Far right. I'm usually $20 or $25, once I got $15 so this balanced that out I figure. Mrs usually gets $15, once she got $25. I usually hit far left (I'm left handed, so that's my system) or center.

I'm willing to bet an unusual number of us on this forum are left handed.
