A beat to a lot of people...50 dollar bills.
 

I haven't been convinced of this bad luck charm yet but a few of my friends wont even touch a 50 dollar bill and I think a lot of people in the gambling world are the same way...so it makes me curious how they'd handle the situation that happened to me over thanksgiving.

We celebrate x-mas with one side of my family over thanksgiving and my grandma placed a 50 dollar bill in front of me while I was talking to my mom and said something like find something fun to buy. I said thanks and had no problem putting it in my wallet.

For those of you that truly don't want anything to do with 50 dollar bills, would you really say something/make a deal about it or just suck it up cause it's grandma.

Re: A beat to a lot of people...50 dollar bills.
 

I'd take it and frame it! I'm pretty sure I see a lot more twos than fifties.

Re: A beat to a lot of people...50 dollar bills.
 

dude no matter what your world view you cannot not accept that $50 from grandma

Re: A beat to a lot of people...50 dollar bills.

huh?

Re: A beat to a lot of people...50 dollar bills.
 

i prefer two twenties and a ten, but i can handle fifties as long as they're far away from my poker monies.

if i'm paying for something that costs $10 and i have a $10 and a $50 in my wallet, i'm getting rid of the $50.

i tend to get a lot of 50s in europe though, and it doesn't bother me. (does a 100 euro bill even exist? i don't think i've seen one)

Re: A beat to a lot of people...50 dollar bills.
 

Yeah, but they're nowhere near as common, much like the american 50!

Re: A beat to a lot of people...50 dollar bills.
 

Wtf, superstitions about money? You yanks are really weird sometimes

Re: A beat to a lot of people...50 dollar bills.

whats the deal with $50's anyway? why would they be bad luck? and shouldnt non-retarded poker players be exempt from silly superstition?

that's just stupid. it makes her happy to make her grandkids happy, so you better take the $50 and thank her.

Re: A beat to a lot of people...50 dollar bills.
 

are you seriously saying your aces will get busted more often if you have a $50 note in your wallet? what about black cats and friday 13th and whatnot?

do you also keep objects on your desk at right angles?

Re: A beat to a lot of people...50 dollar bills.
 

I DID

Re: A beat to a lot of people...50 dollar bills.
 

exactly how will owning or touching a $50 affect you? is it like a sure thing or some probability? if prob., then how much?
give examples please.

are there other similar lucky/unlucky objects?

is friday 13th lucky just for you or for everyone?

Re: A beat to a lot of people...50 dollar bills.
 

50's are horrible. Let's say you're in the ghetto and you're looking for a bag of weed. You roll up to a promising individual and say, "Got Diesel?"

"Yeah, 60 bucks"

"OK, just let me reach into my wallet here...OH DEAR GOD I HAVE TWO 20s AND A 50."

"Did I say 60 bucks? I meant 70. Thank you, come again nukka"

yours was pretty convincing as well. the "no matter what your world view" part was really effective.
the "dude" part helped too. that should appeal to a lot of the readers here.

actually it was stinky. I'm not posting again in this thread.

yea, they have 200s and 500s too.
i don't understand what's bad about a 50 bill, the 100s are much worse [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I agree with the declination, i'd be forced to say something to the effect,

'Aiyo, aiyo gram momma, i'm strate ballin outta control, keep that fitty for blood pressure pills and shtt, I know medicare ain't shtt.'

Anything else would make you an uncouth young man.

Re: A beat to a lot of people...50 dollar bills.
 

I never heard of this, so I digged around on wiki:

"In the past, gamblers considered two dollar bills to be unlucky. The idea comes from the "deuce" being the lowest value card in a card deck. Gamblers often tore or cut a two dollar bill's corners to counter the bad luck that might occur."

Looks like putting a little tear in the corner should work!!!

LMAOWTF, you americans are wierd.....

Now, if I saw a single magpie on the way to the casino, that would be reaaaaal bad and scary -- unless of course, I saluted it and said "Hello Mr Magpie, how is your wife?" or said "I defy thee" seven times. You see, there is allways an antidote/counter-spell to the bad luck!!!!!

isn't that what he said? you cannot not accept it... as in, it's impossible to not accept grandma's $50

Re: A beat to a lot of people...50 dollar bills.
 

PT guys should introduce $50bip (50-dollar bills in possession). im sure it would go a long way to explain downswings which previously might have been considered unbelievable.

Re: A beat to a lot of people...50 dollar bills.
 

weird i dont think ive actually had a 50 before

Re: A beat to a lot of people...50 dollar bills.
