Gambling sucks!

[Anthony Ng]

i was up $14k last trip to vegas (betting $1k/red/black), got cocky, started tripling my bets and finally lost it all.

Oh ... that's EXACTLY how most people lose (by doubling or even tripling bets when they win). A better strategy may be to build up your "inventory", and only bet higher when losing. But hey, if you take gaming as some kind of entertainment (for thrill or whatever), forget about the strategy.

i only play for fun. i knew going in there i was going to lose everything i
came in with, and luckily i didn't lose a penny. i guess that's a "good day"
in vegas.

a) started with $5k. put it on black, won.
b) from there on i bet black/red for about 5 hours.
c) i lost everything i made in those 5 hours in about 30 minutes. lol

it was fun nonetheless. i walked away with the $5k i originally had. the
guy who was playing with me, was not so fortunate.
