Exactly the wording of the question may make me go on tilt. Or as the question is worded...This question will not never make me go on tilt due to the wording.

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?
