25 yrs ago was at a blackjack table in Atlantic city. Guy next to me has a full blown seizure right as cards are all dealt. This guy (about 30 yrs old) is flopping all over the floor. Security came from everywhere acting like this was some kind of scam (it wasn't). Everyone had to finish the hand from about 5 yards from the table. I Had to ask the dealer what I even had showing.
I had a guy who loved played 3 card poker. He would deposit several thousands per week. One day as I was leaving my shift at midnight on a Saturday, he called me and said he couldn't make a deposit again until tomorrow. So I gave him a $2500 chip and went to the bar.
came in the next day around 2pm as usual
and everyone was staring at me. I was a little hung over but not that bad.
Turns out, my client turned that $2500 free chip into $330,000
He called me to thank me and have his limits raised. I did.
By 10pm he lost it all and sent in more money.
I think he was up for 3 consecutive days playing. Vodka and cigars. He told me he wanted to get to a million and then quit.

i was 18 at the taj and had 3 racks of reds waiting for a 2-5 table to open after a great 1-2 run. the floor walks up to a guy standing next to me and cards him. I'm sweating like crazy as he shows her his ID. she comes up to me next and I'm already patting my pocket getting ready to say i forgot my id in the car. she instead tells me I am welcome to sit at one of the empty tables while i wait for my seat and never carded me. was quite the rush at the time
IDK, something wrong there
chips >>>>> life I suppose, damn, although it's a great diversion for trying to steal something
do you know if he made out OK?
I'm assuming that means he lost with 4 of a kind? had to think about that for a second
scottcarter, stories like the one you told break my fucking heart
seriously, when can some people walk away?
I know my relatives from Italy can't, no matter what, they stay at a machine until they lose every penny they came with. If they're up thousands, it just don't matter

me too man. It's heartbreaking. Such a great guy who called me several times a week. I basically considered him a friend after not too long. The good thing about the story is that he was (likely still is) filthy rich. To turn $2500 in $330K was amazing. I think I would have cashed out even if I didn't need the money. Just to say that I did that.
I haven't in awhile but I used to head out to the land based casinos here in Costa Rica quite often. It's great when you leave and you are up.
Vegas isn't built on winners. Free booze and oxygen to keep ya playing until the house eventually wins.
Two stories:
one is being told that we don't want my action.........on a $5 quinella bet. Not many people are denied bets let alone a stinking $5 bet.
THe other one was my uncle and he tells it great. Playing 7 card stud and gets quad 2's first four cards. On the table next to him were pair jacks, pair queens and pair of aces. Everyone betting and raising. Time to show and he is counting his money. Mistake. Hands go quad 2's, quad jacks, quad queens and a full boat trip aces. My uncle says the only consellation is that there is some asshole in America telling this story right now how he had a full boat trip aces and it was the worse hand out four. My uncle moved back to Minnesota from Las Vegas the next week.

Unbelievable.
Why not withdrawal 200k and he would still have over 100k to play with?
Was the guy so rich that it took a million to make his dick move or was he just a true degenerate?
