FWIW, i have actually lost MORE than this dude on party bj and other various bj's. playing it live is the most awesome though.

just to add a little spice to it, i have lost over 1k playing rock paper scissors.

i have lost 3k at casino war.

i have lost several k in craps.

i am actually up 20k or so at bacarrat.

oh yeah when its all said and done, i still have a roof over my head, food to eat and get to wear nice clothes and still donate a little extra every month to charity. playing a little here and there DOES NOT MAKE YOU A MORON. its okay to have a little bit of fun you know.

CDC,

When does "just having some fun" turn into "being taken by horrible sucker bets?" If I know I'm 90% to lose a wager, I'm not going to take the bet because I don't get enough of a thrill from gambling. On the other hand, I'll play some live BJ because I'm 51-55% to lose or whatever and I don't mind giving up a bit of an edge for some fun.

Party BJ, on the other hand, is something like 62%. When you're talking about wagering $20k and losing $12.4k of it, I wouldn't get enough enjoyment out of it to take the bet, especially when the experience is at home, in my underwear, over the span of 10 minutes. Party BJ is too close to "sucker bet" and too far from "casino-level enjoyment" for me.

Don't get me wrong, I completely understand that some people can afford it, some people are action monkeys, and so on. That doesn't mean I don't think those people are effing morons, however.
