gambling stories

[Landon_McFly 0]

I was just wondering if anyone had any good gambling stories. I've got a couple, but the only one I can think of right now is when me and 3 friends played skins putt putt for $2 per person, per hole. I didn't tell my friends, but I only had $10 with me. The first 9 holes were all carryovers, and I was sweatin bullets, till on the 10th hole where I hit a hole in one on a par 4. I ended up winning that set of 18, then we ran it back and I cleaned up again.

Here's the story of my initiation into gambling. My first time playing in a casino was blackjack at foxwoods. I had brought about $200 (I guess I thought there would be low limit tables). The only open seats were at $25 tables and higher and my friend didn't want to wait for the $10 tables. So I sit at the table with 8 bets, and only knowing what I had time to read on the internet the night before. I win more than $700 in five or six hours, and get to color up to a purple chip and some black when I break for dinner. I lost a little after dinner, but it was a great beginner's run.

My room mates and I used to gamble on EVERYTHING in college. For $5 or a La Bamba's burrito. It was constantly "$5 says he makes that shot" or "a burrito for a game of darts". It always makes dumb things more interesting. And the lengths we would go to for that $5.

Hey is there a way to save your little burning guy so I can show my friends? That is hilarious. I did the right click save to my HD, but when I opened it, it just showed up as the static stick man...

I LOVE arguing over golf handicaps. My buddy wants to play me on his home course for $5 a hole, and only give me a +3. I told him **** you, its:1) Your home course2) I havent played in 2 years3) you are a PAR SHOOTER, I am at BEST a bogey shooter.4) **** youanyways, I ended up talking him in to giving me a +26 to his +0 and whoever gets closer to their number wins all 18 holes :lol:This is the same guy who took a bet against me 3:1 on $20 that he could stop smoking for 31 days. If he didn't smoke, I gave him $20, but if he smoked he gave me $60... shit how could I pass that up? And of course, he smoked on day 19 and gave me my $60 bucks :lol:I can't WAIT to play him in golf too. I seriously suck as bad as my HDCP, but still, hes par shooter on the easy 9, bogey on the hard ones, so I estimate the score will be like +30 to +9 give or take, and then.... I win :lol:

I've gambled on a lot of strange things -- but the most pathetic was after-bar bets on "Battle-Bots", that old tv show where robots smash the crap out of each other in a ring -- alternate who gets 1st choice in a match for $10 -- pretty sad...

Up to 500 dollars on highcard.I bet a friend $20 dollars at 100 to 1 odds that the Red Sox would beat the Yankees in the ALCS as game three was ending. He payed dearly on that one.

Hanging out in a casino you find yourself gambling on everything. Last week a laid this cocky asian kid 3 to 1 that he couldnt get his stack up to 2k by 5am. His stack was about 1.4k at the time and he had about 8 hours to hit his goal. Don't you know just 2 hours later his stack is gone and he is 6 bills deep from his own pocket. He went on a 2k downswing! Maybe the easiest 100 i have ever made. ( I also beat him out of a 450 dollar pot to cripple his stack )My favorite bet has to be laying odds on drink girls ages and then firguring out a way to ask them without gettting slaped. I lost a big one when I laid this guy 2 to 1 that the girl was over 38......just my luck, she happend to be 37.

The dumbest thing I ever gambled on was on who could fart next WITHOUT soiling themselves.....I drank beer and was a little dissapointed to see my friend go into the fridge for some refried beans....I CALLED "shenanigans" and threatened to stiff him on the bet if he pulled that stunt....It had to be a regular fart....not induced.....I really couldn't believe that 20 minutes had passed while we were all drinking beer and no farts....Then...I flop a straight on my buddy and he called off almost half his stack with two pair...and I raked in the pot...he looked at me and said "That's okay....I'm still even..." I said..."huh?" and he blasted one and I had to pay off the bet in chips...so I made next to nothing on the hand.....

Tritz, do you have racing greyhounds?

Let me guess... you work in the greyhound racing business and recognize the name Tritz as a dog owner.

At the 500 this year I lost about a grand playing paper rocks scissors to one of my friends. We were both pretty hammered, and later I found out that he was just going Paper--Rock--Scissors in a rotation like that, didn't change once, and I still lost. Oh, and I lost about 250 betting on when Danica Patrick would crash.

After a NLHE tourney one night I watched a guy lose $10,000 flipping quarters. Heads or tails. Lost nine in a row. Won one and lost two more in a row and quit. Friggin Hilarious.

I have many gambling stories as that is what i have enjoyed doing all my life, however this 1 is one of my favs.We actually played monopoly for real money. Using the game's fake notes but tallying and settling at the end.4 players, 2 sessions and 13 hours later i come away with a nice pay day of almost 8k. I wanted to make it a montly event however the others disagreed.Good times...
