Spent a few days in Las Vegas during WoVCon in mid-May.
Before going, a friend gave me twenty bucks and asked me to bet it for him; we discussed options and agreed I'd throw five each on hard six and eight, and then five each on aces and midnight.
OK, so I'm playing at MGM, getting whacked, and I figure "misery loves company:" I threw five each on the hard six and eight.
Six comes hard.
Egad.
Then I bet the high- low: aces!
His twenty increased to one ninety-five, while I watched my bankroll wither away.

he really trusts you LOL
the next time Dame Fortune toys with your heart, your soul and your wallet, raise your glass and praise her thus: “Thanks for nothing, you cold-hearted, evil, damnable, nefarious, low-life, malicious monster from Hell!” She is, after all, stone deaf. ... Arnold Snyder
