Default Re: NEVER have a degenerate moment?

The summer after high school I had discovered online sports betting. I was working as a delivery boy for dominos so I had a decent amount of cash income from tips; I would save some and then throw some of it on vipsports.com to make some plays on baseball games. By the end of the summer I had saved a few thousand and still had a couple hundred on vipsports when one day I discovered that the website also offered the vipcasino. [censored].

I decided I was gonna use just $100 from my vip account and play a little $5 red/black roullette(sp?). Anyways, I started out with $5 bets and by the 5th spin I was making $20 bets. My bets continually grew untill I was playing with $2500 at the table and was making $500 a spin bets on red or black. Each time I would spin the wheel and run away from the computer praying that when I heard the ball stop I would also hear the automated cheering that accompanied a win. I was gonna retire in one night making like $50k an hr when all of a sudden the unluckiest thing that has ever happened to someone happened to me.

I lost five $500 spins in a row and went busto. [censored] ME.

By this point, I had realized how naturally talented at roullette I was, and figured there was no way a person this good end a night down. Time to take another $100 shot.

But [censored] it, obviously I want my [censored] money back so I slam it all on red and obviously its black. Anyways, after I busto my vip account i ask myself "Could michael jordan miss ten freethrows in a row?" Absolutely not. So therefore there was no way I was going to continue to keep losing at roullette.

To make a long story short, after a series of deposits I had lost my entire vip account, $1500 from my bank account and was down around 1900 on the night. This was about the same time I was playing .25/.50 on partypoker so it was prettymuch like a 38 buy in swing in a coure of maybe an hour and a half?
