Craziest/best/worst gambling stories...

That reminds me of my second trip to Vegas which was a couple weeks after Tupac got shot.  So me and a friend go to a roulette table and put a small amount on Black for Tupac, red hits.  So we put the same amount on again, red hits, so we both put 50 on Black again for Tupac, red hits.  So we both put $100 each on Black for Tupac, red hits.  So we both do it again, it is my last $100, put it on black for motherfucken Tupac, red hits.  I am out of money, my friend does this two more time, on black for Tupac, red hits for both times and now he is out of money.  After we were out, black hit 5 times in a row.  SO FUC K TUPAC!

2 from the other side of the table when I was a pit boss at the Palms.  

 

Now this is an awesome story. But you must have still been drunk to think it was snowing when the temp had to be about 100 degrees. I know because I was out there the same weekend when Tyson bit Holyfield's ear. Still, this is great stuff

This past April, I made it out to Vegas with the same two buddies that I go with every year.  My roll was lighter than normal.  I normally take two dimes to gamble, nothing crazy, but this time I had only taken a dime.  I also figured I could always withdraw from the ATM if necessary.  I like to play heavy in comparison to my roll but not a lot of bets (obviously).  I don't like to gamble for a long time because I like to do other things in Vegas besides just that.  Anyway, I had been playing the sports book for most of my trip and was loosing, loosing bad.  I couldn't pick a winner even if I had Biff's Sports Almanac, but I was doing good at the tables.  The table games were the only thing keeping me afloat.  Needless to say, I end up busting my roll the last night there.  It was early in the evening when I lost it on Golden State Warriors playing against the Trail Blazers, I think.  So, I head to the ATM, withdraw $400, and kinda just wonder around with a buddy contemplating how I should play this money.  I decide to play $50 on black on roulette.  So I do and hit.  I press, naturally.  It hit's again.  I get up and leave.  I walk over with my buddy to $100 min black jack.  I put down $200 on one hand, and my buddy is already looking at me like I'm crazy but is also having fun with what I'm doing so far.  I end up getting blackjack.  So we high-five, and briefly celebrate the short run I'm on while the dealer is their waiting to see what I'll do next.  She was looking at us like "I remember my first beer."  She chips me $300.  So, now, I have $500 in chips from starting with $50, but I'm still down $550.  I move the $500 in chips forward and let it ride.  And just as I'm about to my second buddy shows up, and we fill him in on what going on.  So, my buddy who has been with me during this small streak of mine, is like "what the hell are you doing."  And, I remember exactly what the dealer said to me, she says, "are you sure you want to do that?"  And, my friend tells me, "atleast keep some of it."  I say to the both of them, "nonsense, run them dealer."  As she slowly is running them making us sweat.  She was deriving pleasure seeing us like this, sarcastically smiling at us.  She deals me an 8 and her self a 2, and at this point I was like, "not the bleeping deuce."  I end up getting 18.  She ends up dealing her self a bunch of cards finally busting.  We all celebrate high-fiving and laughing.  She gives me my $1000 chip cause I told her I was done playing and we laugh about it all the way down to the bar.  I did tip, but can't recall how much, I want to say $50.  Anyway, I was now only down $50 after turning $50 to almost a dime in four bets.  I ended up getting hammered at the Lily Lounge at Bellagio for the rest of the night using those 2 for 1 drink vouchers they hand out on Sundays.  I didn't gamble till the next day, but it was only $50, I lost it nontheless and headed home with a cool story.

7 team parlay

Jets +10

Giants ML & O6.5

Utah ML & U53.5

Kings ML & U5

 

Giants bottom of 9th walkoff homer, win 6-3

Kings win in a shootout 1-0

Shortly after those 2 games finish, Oregon st drives to tie the game. Then in OT, tied at 23, the OSU kicker misses a fg.....had he made it, I lose the parlay as the total would have had to go over if Utah won.....Utah punches it in to win 29-23

 

I was kinda happy

We all have our stories. Here is Bullz-Eye's list and I am glad to see they gave a special Covers member a mention: https://blog.bullz-eye.com/2015/07/28/greatest-casino-gambling-stories-of-all-time/

Which Cover's member was that?

great stories

it was "typical" Covers Bullshitt, as 75% of the commentary in this thread are based upon, nothing more than pure bullshitt, and more bullshitt, knee deep bullshitt, however, not to take away from the many 'true' verified stories that are not only fascinating, but projects people actually come to Vegas and win, and win big

I was very close to having the most magical bet ever, and then it never happened.

hahaa funny stories! I like them all! my husband is the player, he prefers gambling at online casinos at https://imoneyslots.com He has a great range of interesting stories but all of them are not really funny.
