Biggest Scores
Poker: Winning a $300 pot by playing 5/3 off suit against a guy with a strong Ace. Hit the boat by Turn card. Cashed out with a $400 profit after 3 hours of playing. This was a NL 1/2 game.
Sports: (1) Cashed it "big" on the Patriots this past football season. I think there were at least 3 games where I had $1500 on them and all bets covered. Usually $500 on the Patriot's spread, $500 on the Patriots team total, and $500 on the Patriots first or second half spread. (2) Hitting a 7 team teaser
Casino: (1) Winning about $4500 playing black jack. Used the winnings to pay off miscellaneous expenses for the next few months (2) Me and a buddy were chilling at the Palms and decided to play the penny machine Megabucks. We only put in 10 bucks and we were down to our last spin. We were one reel away from hitting the Megabucks.
Bad Beats
Poker: Playing a "deepstack" NL 1/3 game. There were three local grinders and one rich European guy. The European guy was playing loose and just trying to buy pots. He was shortstack at $150 and I shipped it with pocket Kings. He had A4 of suit and hit the Ace on the river. Who in their right mind will call with A4??? Anyways, I was asked to leave the poker room since I went off on the dude lol
Sports: (1) Betting $350 on a "No runs 1st Inning" and I completely got smoked. Never again...what a sucker bet. (2) Losing MNF, Thurs Night Football, and two games on Sunday. Had about $500 for each game...that was a fkn rough week!
Casino: My buddy was piss drunk and he wanted to play craps. It was 3 AM and I was already dead tired since we were basically up for the last two days. Anyways, long story short, my buddy buys in for 200 bucks (playing downtown...only two people at the table). He tells me he wants me to play for him. After about an 45 minutes, I'm about $200 bucks (after tips). I tell him to lets cash out. My friend doesn't want to hear it. He drops $200 on the pass line and tells me to roll. I getting that "sick" feeling in my stomach. I grab the dice and roll an 8 (a number that I WASN'T hitting). He then drops the other $200 behind our pass line bet. The next roll, I "seven-out" haha. If there's anything I learned...it's to not listen to DRUNK people while gambling, even if the money isn't mine lol.
