Looks like the moral is they didn’t break any laws and the one guy may have actually kept his winnings. The other guy’s Roommate stole his winnings and gave it to the cops to avoid prosecution.

I made $0.30 the other day at McCarran. Could've been $0.37 total, but I didn't feel brazen enough to snag the 5c and 2c.

Damn you can't even trust bank call center employees! A former Chase Bank call center employee stole a customer's money after the innocent victim gave her her personal information during a routine call and she went on a huge shopping spree for herself and her boyfriend at the victim's expense.

The customer only found out about the stolen money because she went to the Pharmacy to buy medicine and her card was declined. She was understandably alarmed when she was told she had less than $3 in her bank account. She had $7000 when she spoke to the thief employee just the other day and hadn't touched her card until the fateful day at the Pharmacy.

She was also informed that someone had went on a huge shopping spree with her bank account information for nearly $7000 at a store she had never even heard of.

She put two and two together and rightfully surmised that the call center thief stole her money.

IIRC the thief had a Criminal record for Fraud even before being hired at the call center and in my educated theory should never had been hired at a bank call center with access to many customers' financial information in the first place. Luckily the innocent victim was fully reimbursed and the thief was fired, arrested, and booked. The thief had the remorseless and audacious gall to grin from ear to ear in her mugshot! SMH!

Even before seeing this horrible story, I thought while giving my personal information to that random call center employee on the other line,"What's to stop this bank call center employee from using my financial information to steal money from me?

Yep, that's her! Look at that huge remorseless grin in her mugshot after stealing almost $7000 from an innocent customer! Sickening! Disgusting! Whatever word is worse! In fact, sickening AND disgusting

Wow is Phil Collins the best mainstream singer of all time? I think he is. He has such an etheral, dynamic,commanding voice. Against All Odds is one of the best songs of all time and he gives the impression that he is on the ground groveling and would do anything to have his ex back. A Groovy Type Of Love is extremely good and gives me the chills everytime. Land Of Confusion is superb. Love it. Tonight Tonight is also fantastic. Another Day In Paradise is a song that makes you feel like you are seeing what Phil is saying, especially the part with the limping old lady trying to get help from a young man who just ignores her, crossing the street whistling to himself not wanting to help the less fortunate. What a jerk. In 2018 he'd be a multi millionaire stockbroker yuppie making lucrative multi million dollar business deals on his iphone 10 and won't even give a bum a dollar for food!

Ill be honest, I never found Lennon to be a great singer. He wrote some good stuff, but his voice was never particularly good in my opinion.

That’s interesting cause I really enjoy his voice. Different people hear different things I guess. Imagine is one of the most beautiful songs ever.

All Paul songs are brilliant though.

So in real life, in a real world casino, on Roulette,I pretended to play $50 on 16 and pretended to put $10 on the 2:1 column(I had lost my freeplay). Lo and behold, 16 showed up! How much money would I have won had I been playing with real money?

Nathan, try to figure this out yourself using the rules of the game and the payouts involved. I'm sure someone(s) will give you the answer you want, but if you show some initiative, I'm sure more people would be willing to help. No guarantees on that though. Good luck.

I went to good old Google and it appears that a straight up single number bet pays 35 to 1 plus the extra 2:1 ,so in my hypothetical example, I would get around $1900. Did I calculate correctly?

I don't know anything about Roulette so hopefully someone else will chime in to answer your question.

It’d be $1,850, @Nathan. The $50 pays $1,750 straight up. And the other pays $100.

Column pays 2-1, if you are talking about a street which covers 3 numbers that pays 11-1 or a 6-line which pays 5-1 and you guessed it covers 6 numbers.

Thanks for the explanation, Pokergrinder! I actually thought that the 2:1 thing was just extra juice for choosing the right number. Is there a roulette term for choosing all 36 inside numbers plus all 15 outside choices? I lost .50 cents on a 15 dollar bet doing an all the way bet like this one. I highly doubt that it is called an all the way bet, ;)

Yes it’s called a guaranteed losing bet. Lose a little if it’s not green. Lose it all if it’s green.

There was a report that said something that being ugly is better job wise than being being beautiful because people tend to think that beautiful people got the job because of their beauty whereas ugly people got the job on their own merit. Hmm.

What’s the difference between theory and reality?

A boy once asked his dad that question. The father said the best way to explain it is with an exercise. He told the boy to ask his mother if she’d sleep with the neighbor for $1,000,000. The boy asked his mom, she said she would, and the boy returned to his dad and said she said yes.

The father told him to ask his sister the same question. He did. He came back and told his dad the same thing, again, that his sister said she’d sleep with the neighbor for $1,000,000. Stumped by the purpose of these questions, the boy asked his dad what this has to do with reality vs theory.

The father said, “Theoretically we live with two millionaires, but in reality we live with two sluts.”

If you NEED every penny you can get, it sounds like you should not be gambling period. If you continue to do so when you are struggling to make ends meet then it sounds like you are an addict.
I got a plan, we take all your picks we reverse them like one of those twilight zone episodes where everything is the opposite. You say "black" we go white.

I was just about to say the exact same thing. Nathan if $3.50 means that much to you then you shouldn’t be stepping into a casino multiple times a week if ever.

Yeah, as you are ALWAYS fighting a negative expectation, things will only worsen and get more frustrating and desperate for you.

Perhaps if you are bound and determined to gamble you could get a second job, and use only a fixed portion of that income for gambling?

Today is free play tuesday at hiaieah. I'm going to cycle through it once and then run with whatever is left. This is a vow, not a promise.

You know all the AP moves. You got to play 372 straight.

I wish all WoV members an "easy feast" this Yom Kippur. May your names be written in the books of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Okay, I have a confession to make. I made a slight financial mistake and am 9 days away from my paycheck. Bad combination. Luckily I have free play to tide me over.

Just curious: did the "mistake" involve gambling, or something else?

Would it be wrong or just ironic to want to bet on gambling being the issue?

It might be better to say dealing with or confronting but fighting? Sometimes Dame Fortune does smile upon those who down to their last cent.

D'oh. Yes, that is what I meant. I think I would rather feast than fast. Funny how the two words are different by only an e.

you may be on to something. :) 239 showed up today, only one digit off. I predict that either 372 or 724 is coming up within 3 weeks. :)
