FACTOR OF FEAR $10,000 BlackJack Hand Set To Go.

wilheim · Aug 15, 2005

Poster GiJoe will accept the Rx./Skybook Factor of Fear Challange this Saturday August 20th. at approxiamtely 7PM Pacific in the casino of The Golden Nugget. He will be staked to $10,000 for a win or lose single* hand of BlackJack... Luckily this happens to be during The 3rd Annual Rx. Bash so plenty of you will be around to witness the event.

I can't think of anything similar ever done as a result of a contest on a posting forum in all the time I have been posting or lurking at any sports gambling internet sites (around 7 years). The "Hand" should be very exciting to watch, and quite a test of GiJoe's nerves. I am looking forward to it with great anticipation and natrually hope very much that GiJoe wins the hand.

Best of Luck GiJoe, Wil. :103631605

*Note; In the event of a push there will be additional hands until a result of win or lose is achieved one way or another. There is also a no surrender rule in place for the hand. Other than that GiJoe is free to use any stratedgy he wants.

I went 6-2 and 7-1 in the first two days of this contest. I wish I would have won, I definately would have taken the hand of blackjack. Would be a lot of fun. And stressfull too.

Definate gambling junkie fix to have that much at risk on the turn of a card

How many decks? Shoe? By Hand?

how many decks? Shoe? By Hand?

To be determined on Saturday by Rx. rep and Casino manager. We will try and get the most favorable play we can for GiJoe. Hopefully at least a double deck dealt by hand.

SUGGESTION:

what if GN managment was to set up a BJ table in the Banquet Room we are going to be in for the BASH?

that way we could all witness it..... if the Hand was played at 745pm or 8pm right before the bash, it would be perfect timing.... no?

Not a bad idea SS. I can bring it up with the Nugget Casino manager.

Thanks, wil.

What will you do, GiJoe??

You have BJ(21) but the dealer shows A. Even money or no?:monsters-

blueedwards · Aug 15, 2005

joe, i hope your blackjack experience is not like mine. if it is, you will be dealt 20 and the dealer will draw 6 cards for a 21.

good luck, i wish i were there because if you hit it, i'm sure you will be buying the rest of the night.

What if he wants to double down? Can he? Or can someone else double it up on his behalf?

He can double down if he pulls the money out of his own pocket, but I am very sure the Nugget will not welcome random onlookers to double down seeing they would be getting the worst of it.
