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
