About 3 years ago, I went on a casino boat outside of Myrtle Beach, SC. I gamble often and fairly big & decided to take my chances with about 3k.Anyway, roulette is my game of choice. I only bet on the "outside", primarily colors at anywhere between 100-2500 per spin all depending on how I feel ($2500 is the most I ever bet at once, in the casio and I hit in at Mandalay Bay, I am rated at about 500 avg bet according to my casino host) So, on this boat the table max is 500. So, Im doing pretty good & and because I'm up about $1k I ask can I raise the table limit. The dealer goes and confers with the pit boss & comes back and says ok. So, I reach in my pocket, pull out cash & bet $1,000 on red. As, the ball is spinning & my 10 100dollar bills are on the table the pit boss runs over and says "cash no play" "cash no good" (in the middle of my BET) Before he ends his speech of course it lands on RED. I won. So, I composed myself & said calm down cuz these motherfukers can't win cheating & I believe that to my core u cant win cheating. So, I decided to double up & get 2,000 in chips ahead of time and BET BACK ON RED. I felt damn good about this. The dealer spins the ball. As the ball is spinning, the damn pit poss comes to the wheel & starts STACKING CHIPS ON THE RIM OF THE ROULETTE WHEEL WHILE MY BALL IS IN MOTION. I'm looking like WTF. #1 U should nobody should  be touching the wheel while the ball is live. #2 we are already on a rocky ass boat #3 any kind of motion interferes with the landing of the ball. Needless to say, the ball landed on red & then JUMPED OUT ON BLACK!! I DAMN CAUGHT A CHARGE!! People stopped play & was like why is this guy so irate & yelling at the pitboss. 
 
P.S.
I got many more real life stories on my blog. covers.com/bigkat

I have two. One was at MGM in Vegas. I give roulette dealer $80 in twenties and he gives me $40 in chips and goes on break. I immediately tell the new dealer and pit boss comes over. I am polite and explain. She calls original dealer over and he gets all pissed and accuses me of lying! For $40!! Pit boss gives me my $40 and I play for awhile. Then original dealer comes back and is pissed at me. Laughs everytime I lose. Well I am pissed at this point. I call pit boss over and tell her what's going on. She immediately replaces him with another dealer and they have it out for a few mins. He ended up leaving and I cashed out. I hope to God he got fired. He really deserved it.

2nd time was when I had a bet on the Mets RL. Robin Ventura hits a game winning HR. His run would win the RL. He refuses to round the bases and the Mets win by 1 and I lose my bet. Probably the biggest moose and most upset I've ever been on losing a sports wager.

In the 1999 Game 5 of the NLCS, with the Atlanta Braves up 3-2 in the fifteenth inning, a bases-loaded walk to Todd Pratt forced in the tying run and brought Ventura to the plate. Ventura hit a home run into right-center field. Pratt, however, didn’t see the ball leave the park and ran back to first base, hoisting Ventura into the air and lugging him off the field before he could round the bases. The hit was officially scored an RBI single, commonly referred to as the "Grand Slam Single".

10 yrs has made me suppress some of the details. It wasn't his run that lost the RL it was the fact he never rounded the bases made only 1 run count. By far the most upset I've been.

I remember that game.  Over backers got fuct too. 

 

I got screwed really bad about three years ago at the Borgata in Atlantic City.  I was playing in the poker room at a 2/5 NLHE table.  I had close to $1000 in front of me, and I got involved in a pot with two other people.  It was the BB who was kind of short stacked, me in the middle, and someone behind me with about $800 in front of him.  I had 56s.  The flop came Q43 with two clubs (not my suit).  The BB bets out $50 and gets called by both of us.  The turn came with a 7, giving me the nuts.  The BB moves all in for a little over $100.  I say, "Call."  The dealer at the time is about to go on break, and the dealer behind  her is massaging her shoulders and flirting with her.  She's not paying attention.  As I said 'Call', she said, "We have a call," and she put out the river which is another 7.  We inform her that there was still one player yet to act.  She calls the floor, and he says that she has to put the 7 back in the deck and shuffle the cards (correct ruling).  Now the guy in late position says that he wants to call.  The pot is over $600 at this point.  The river comes with the 2 of clubs now.  I check, and the guy in late position bets $400.  I think for a while and I finally call.  He shows A7 of clubs, for the nuts.  The pot is over $1400.  I'm livid.  If she would've been paying attention, the river would've been this guy's third seven, and I would've won the pot.  I'm usually the quitest guy at the table, but I lose it.  I pull the floorman aside and tell him how his dealer cost me a $1400 pot because she's flirting with the guy about to replace her on break.  I became a babbling idiot.  I left the room and didn't return to the Borgata for over a year (I play in AC at least five times a month).  I'm sweating now just thinking about that hand again.

Good stuff guys. I think it is a little theraputic for us to blog about it now (2 keep from strangling someone & catching a charge)
 
My #2-I had detroit pistons for 4k as favorites (cause I always the Lebron was overrated, which he was) & this mofo finally decides to not pass & take over the game with the 40 point etc.etc. LBJ coming out party game.
 
My#3-I had $600 on a three team parlay. The first two covered. The third game was the UNDER in a Denver nugget playoff game (2009). I left at the half because they needed somethin like 137 points 2nd half to go over, IT WAS A LOCK. I so happy & kept checkin my phone in the mall cuz they needed to score more than 69 points in the 4th qtr for me to lose. GUESS WHAT?? I LOST This was the infamous game where the ref SHOULD HAVE CALLED FOUL (cuz the other team intentionally fouled) but didnt & Carmelo hit the three.

I have 2 add this one!! It was on Sunday, the last day of my trip & I had about 5 hrs left til my flight & I was down bout 3500. I was staying at MGM but had an open invite to Bellagio along with a $500 Free play chip (this is a chip that they give u as a perk & if u bet & win u keep betting it & winning real $$) Anyway, I didnt have much time so I check out of MGM, called Bellagio & told them I was stayin there overnight (I actually had no intention of stayin I just had 2 check in to get my $500 freeplay chip) So. I get there & check in & get my chip. I go to the table & get HOT LIKE FIRE. I bet the $500 dollar chip 4 times in a row before I lost it. So, now Im sitting with $2000 in real $$. But everytime I win, the blonde with BIG BOOBS keeps overcongratulating me & rubbin me & shit. Im like WTF, I didnt want 2 be rude but it was irritating the shit out of me. So I decide to GO HARD , cuz after all I got 2k in about 10 minutes off of the AIR (lol). So this damn girl is like red, red, red, red so MY DUMB ASS follows her with a thousand on red (loss), another thousand on red (loss) & of my last pocket $$ thousand I bet 600 & lost. Went back with home with $400 from 5k. DUMB ASS BLONDE!!

I was just there yesterday.  The table next to me hit the bad beat jackpot (losing with quads), and split up 170K.  68K to the loser of the hand, 34K to the winner of the hand, and the other 68K split up amongst the others at the table.

My story comes in the form of poker...
 
To make the story short, I called all-in with K-K after the K-10-10 flop.
 
The guy I was up against had A-A. I have him owned (99.5% i think)
 
Turn= A
River=A
 
Unbelievable. I stopped playing poker for quite a while after that hand

How’s this for a bad beat?   It was from 1998.  I was in Vegas with Tom from work. Our last night I bet a 6 team parlay that included 2 ML dogs. Its was $50 to win $3400.00.  We went to a strip bar and were watching the ladies and the games.  I saw that I was 4-0 and the Braves were up 5-1 heading into the 8th and I had under 9. Nice total with a Tom Glavine in his hay day on the hill.  The only other game I was sweating was a west coast hockey game that went OT.  The strippers were getting pissed because everyone was watching the TV’s to get scores so they turned them off.  I was game for 2 more $20.00 lap dances from this statuesque 6’ tall blonde stripper with some nice bolt on’s and finally had to get somewhere to find the scores.  I cabbed it to the Imperial Palace to find the score of the hockey game, because I just knew the Braves game would stay under. I sprint upstairs to the sports book to check out the old grease board they use to post the lines and the scores. And there it was my team (cant recall who) with the overtime win. I turned to give my buddy a rousing high five as we were going to gamble it up the rest of the night and catch our 7 am flight with no sleep.  As I did that the 12-2 Braves score passed by my vision.  My buddy saw the look in my eyes and knew it was bad. The sportsbook was closed by this time so I went down to the casino and gave my ticket to the cashier hoping a mistake was made…nope…loser.  Frustrated I reached into my pocket and found 4 $100 bills. I went to the $100.00 black jack table and sat down for what I would term grudge betting.  Let it be known that I’m more of the $5.00 black jack player maybe stepping up to $25 on occasion. Needless to say I lost 4 straight hands and was in bed with in 10 minutes.

Now I know for a “big shooter” like big kat and the make believe world that he gambles in this isn’t much money but believe me, to most of us that hang out on covers, that is real money and a total kick in the teeth. I just wanted to share that with some fellow gamblers. It still eats at me after 11 years!

Here is the line score from my most hated baseball game of all time.  Just a regular Tuesday game in April. FU Bobby Cox!

 

                1  2  3   4  5  6   7  8  9    R  H  E
                -  -  -   -  -  -   -  -  -    -  -  -
Braves          1  0  0   0  2  2   0  3  4   12 18  0
Diamondbacks    0  0  0   0  0  0   1  1  0    2  6  1

W: Tom Glavine (4-0), L: Willie Blair (0-5)

 

 

I never looked to see how those runs were scored. Couldn’t and still cant.

I actually read all these and must submit the craziest loss i ever have seen, which unfortunately I was involved in.  I am in the Mirage, 5 team college hoop parlay (10K payoff).  All west coast games.  I hit UCLA, Orgeon, Arizona, Arizona State and I am waiting on Pepperdine (-4) vs Santa Barbara.  The Waves are at home and have a six point lead with twelve seconds remaining.  As Santa Barbara moves up the court, the ball is accidently dribbled of the guards knee.  As I watch the unreachable ball rolling out, I am in for 10K.
 
Here it is - the ball never reaches the out of bounds line, because the Peppedine cheerleader grabbed the ball before it entirely was out of bounds.  Pepperdine is the home team, and she was a Pepperdine cheerleader, the ball goes back to Santa Barbara.  The point is mute to the game, is we are now at about six seconds. Santa Barbara inbounds and hits a 3 with 3 seconds to go....  Pepperdine wins by 3

I was at the Borgata last Wednesday.  I had busted out of a poker tourney after playing for eight hours and now just wanted to have a few beers while playing some cheap blackjack.  I found a ten dollar table and was playing for twenty minutes before the waitress came through.  I asked for a Heineken.  She said she needed ID.  My ID was up in my room, in my wallet.  I only had my cash with me.  I told her this, but she said she couldn't get me a beer.  I looked at the pit boss and asked if this was serious.  How could I be at a table gambling for twenty minutes, but then they deny me a beer because I don't have my ID?  I was legal 10 years ago!  I was pissed, so I cashed out and went upstairs to get my ID.  I ended up staying up there and just going to sleep.  That's how lazy I am.

I have 2 laugh about all these stories now, but fot DAMN gambling has got 2 be the worst habit ever (lol). The bad beats & losses are almost uncomparable. And the wins never do enough to erase the losses (unless you hit the Powerball LOL.) It's crazy, I gamble on damn near everything but never purchased a lottery ticket.
