        he's not telling you the odds, just by what degree the odds are stacked against you. -- nm - znufrii Apr 22, 12:50 1

    - and to skinny too (also) - Stephen Apr 22, 12:43 12

      - "Too baby-faced pretty boy and too skinny too" -- nm - Roger More Apr 22, 12:46 10
        
        He's to baby faced and to skinny too. - Stephen Apr 22, 12:49 9
        
        if you mean 'overly' or 'excessively', too is correct. eg 'too much' -- (link) - Roger More Apr 22, 12:53
        
        "too much" "too big" "too baby faced" "too skinny". Too (adverb) meaning "to an excessive amount or degree". -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Apr 22, 12:53 4

        Or a piece where I'm jamming Wonder Woman -- nm - remlik si Apr 22, 12:36 2
        
        bah. She's all right, but she ain't all that. -- nm - Remlik Apr 22, 12:41 1

        HA! Ok that would be a good piece to make a dart board out of. -- nm - Remlik Apr 22, 12:42

100-draw video poker, kare? - Strongbad Apr 22, 12:13 48
- nah, mostly joker poker with a nice bartender and comped drinks -- nm - kare Apr 22, 12:18
- I find slots to be the most boring way to lose your money ever. - Reagen Apr 22, 12:14 35
  - see, on the first day i was all "i can't believe i am already out of the $60 i got out of the ATM - kare Apr 22, 12:17 13
    - Oooo the goldfish one is fun! see that is a great story!! put in the $ 1 tip for the waitress and won $ 60 - haaa. - Epiphany Apr 22, 12:19 3
      - i *did* joke a few times about the *giant* wedding chapel button on the elevator. it's fun to freak him out. -- nm - kare Apr 22, 12:21 2
        
        "Let's play elevator roulette! IWe'll close our eyes, press a button and if we end up at the wedding chapel, we'll get married!" -- nm - kare si Apr 22, 12:25
        
        brilliant! -- nm - Epiphany Apr 22, 12:24
    - yeah, but did you ever think that dollar bill might have been up the butt crack of a stripper? -- nm - CQ Apr 22, 12:18
    - If I can't figure out *why* I won money from seeing the display, I'm less enthused. - Will Hunting Apr 22, 12:18 5
      - *nods* I prefer the basic slots over the fancy-schmancy ones. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 22, 12:20 3
        
        I hate slots in general, i feel like Reagen does....push a button, wait, push and wait. - Will Hunting Apr 22, 12:21 2
        
        Well, yeah. If you're going to use a machine, video poker is generally better. Money tends to last longer that way too. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 22, 12:22 1
        
        it doesn't last long when you get all caught up in getting the almighty royal flush -- nm - kare Apr 22, 12:23
      - oh, i hate that too! -- nm - kare Apr 22, 12:19
    - I feel like a monkey hitting a button for pellets. -- nm - Reagen Apr 22, 12:18 1
      - same here. I hate slots -- nm - CQ Apr 22, 12:19
  - I used to hate roulette until I saw znufrii's system. Now it's one of my favorites. - Strongbad Apr 22, 12:16 20
    - system? -- nm - J Apr 22, 12:17 19
      - IIRC, you play 2 rows and 2 3rds.....then after the roll, you pick the other 2 that aren't touched by that winner. - Will Hunting Apr 22, 12:20 5
        
        yup. 4/9 chance you double your money, 4/9 chance you lose a quarter of it, 1/9 chance to lose it all. -- nm - znufrii Apr 22, 12:26 4
        
        sorry, win up 50% not double -- nm - znufrii Apr 22, 12:28 3
        
        (math is hard) -- nm - znufrii Apr 22, 12:30 2
        
        Let's go shopping! -- nm - mara Apr 22, 12:31 1
        
        sure, if you're buying. ;) -- nm - znufrii Apr 22, 12:32
      - Just a way to cover a lot and not lose a ton. - Strongbad Apr 22, 12:19 12
        
        interesting. I am going to try this -- nm - Epiphany Apr 22, 12:20 3
        
        and I usually scatter the minimum on the inside just to keep in interesting. -- nm - znufrii Apr 22, 12:24 2
        
        *bets on black and walks away from the table* -- nm - Strongbad Apr 22, 12:25 1
        
        *thinks anyone who does that is a giant douchebag* -- nm - znufrii Apr 22, 12:33
        
        the problem is if you start doubling bets where you lose, you can lose a lot of money real fast if things don't go your way. -- nm - znufrii Apr 22, 12:20 7
        
        Kinda like my Blackjack system of if I lose a hand I double my bet on the next hand. -- nm - Spawn: TT Fantasy Hoops Champion Apr 22, 12:22 6
        
        You can guarantee to be up money using this system, as long as you can keep doubling your bets when you lose. -- nm - Shaun Apr 22, 12:24 5
        
        provided you have deep enough pockets to suffer a losing streak -- nm - znufrii Apr 22, 12:27 4
        
        I know. That's why I said "as long as you can keep doubling your bets when you lose." -- nm - Shaun Apr 22, 12:30 1
        
        I know you know. - znufrii Apr 22, 12:31
        
        And you don't run up against the max wager for the table you're at. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 22, 12:28
        
        It also helps if Dawson does not steal your blackjacks. -- nm - Spawn: TT Fantasy Hoops Champion Apr 22, 12:28
- *hits 4 of a kind up front on the 5-play for max money*... - Will Hunting Apr 22, 12:13 2
  - I was in awe when he had 5 Royal Flushes. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 22, 12:14 1
    - That is what i'm saying. Topped 4-kind within 3 hands. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 22, 12:15
- well, that and paigow. - znufrii Apr 22, 12:13 7
  - Paigow is what people do when they just want to drink and not feel like drunks. - Will Hunting Apr 22, 12:15 5
    - I have to try this -- nm - CQ Apr 22, 12:17 4
      - It truly does take either great luck or horrific luck to make a substantial move in the game. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 22, 12:17 3
        
        I like it when it has a bonus - but will play it regardless. - Epiphany Apr 22, 12:23 2
        
        The woman last year tried to get me to keep putting a dollar up for the jackpot...that was $250k. - Will Hunting Apr 22, 12:24 1
        
        LOL!! it is said that the bonus hands are always the crappiest odds. -- nm - Epiphany Apr 22, 12:26
  - Just based on # of people playing, I think it's video poker. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 22, 12:14
Slacker Radio is giving away one free 1 year subscription to their Plus service -- nm - mara Apr 22, 12:12 3

  - os= of -- nm - Don Homer Apr 22, 12:14
