Lost all money at party blackjack

[PLOlover]

So I lost all my money in about an hour playing party blackjack. I have enough left to pay my bills for the month and some gas money.

Do you think I should kill myself?

How much?

It's only money, so I'd say no. But do learn from it and do what you can to not play again. I have played and lost money at it (as well as table games in casinos) that I shouldn't. Take measures to prevent it from happening again (willpower, deleting the image files, whatever it takes). It's a stupid waste of money - I have basically barred myself from table games of any kind except for a couple hundred here and there if my friends really want to or whatever. Don't play these games with serious money.

The amount of money doesn't matter. It's an arbitrary amount to the rest of us, but really hurts the person who lost it. I would recommend staying away from online blackjack as there does not really appear to be any system that could allow you to beat the game consistently. Perhaps Mason Malmuth would like to chime in here with his thought on online blackjack.

I'm confused how you could lose "all" your money in an hour, yet still have enough to pay the bills..

No, but electroshock therapy might be in order. Come on man, party blackjack? First of all, uninstall the frickin casino. Secondly, mod your client so you can't see the Party BJ. I don't even know if the above is correct, but that's what I've done and I can't see Party BJ.

Next time, go for sidebets instead.

Do you have a job?

Obviously you shouldn't kill yourself. Everyone who voted yes is just joking.

If you actually ARE going to kill yourself, keep in mind that you don't have to deal with the consequences of anything you do, so definitely do something fun first, as long as you're not morally opposed to it. And don't forget to make amends with god.

Maybe most of his money was online and he kept a months worth of bills in his checking account.

To put this in perspective, how much money did you lose? If we're talking $1000, no bigee. If you lost like 20k or more, I could see why you sound so desperate. Needless to say , you certainly shouldn't kill yourself( don't know if you were actually serious about that, or just expressing your despair)....when your born you're broke, and when you die you're broke....everything in between is just fluctuations. You can make the money back working and/or playing solid 2+2 poker(I recommend a job). Learn the lesson on why smart gamblers don't play -EV games. If it took this to happen for you to realize this, then you can get something positive out of the situation. I wish I could see the allure of Blackjack (actually, I'm glad I don't).....It's such a boring game and is like 1/100th as entertaining and challenging as poker. Best of luck to you (and I don't mean at the BJ table) REDDRED
