Well some of you know that I have been out of work over 3½ years and had a lot of medical issues throughout my life. Well I get mail from the casinos in Atlantic City giving me $250 in free play, a free room, and a voucher for a free cruise for two if I show up this past Friday (yesterday). My buddy Jeff tells me he will drive and cover gas/tolls so I basically get a much needed mini-vacation for free. I saved up a whole whopping $100 so I could play a little extra and off we go...
Around 5:00 Thursday afternoon I sit down at the Let It Ride table with my $100 and decide to go for it. I bet a total of $86. I end up hitting 3-4-5 hearts as my pocket cards, and cool I win $400. I am happy. The dealer turn over his two card and shows the 2 hearts and then the 6 hearts. I start freaking as now i have 2-3-4-5-6 hearts. It took about 5-10 minutes for me to find out that I had just won a grand total of $12,900. They had to shut down the game for about 45 minuets to verify everything but sure enough, they slide me 25 $500 chips and 4 $100 chips. I gave the $100 chips to the dealer and the three other people at he table (including Jeff). The $12,000 went into the safe in the room and came home with me, and I just enjoy the casino with the $500. You might say I was just a little excited and very happy...
