Who won, Vegas or the RX?

Did our posters win more money or lose more overall?

I'll start off, I lost about $750 gambling :sad3:

I won about 150$ ...most of that made playing Blackjack when I had 30 mins to kill waiting to go to the airport sunday

I left Vegas with around $120 more than I started but I ended up putting around $350 in futures bets at the Plaza.

I wish I would have known GN high limit tables had a minimum $25 tables with House staying on soft 17 the entire weekend. I spent the entire Fri night out on the floor with the hitting soft 17 tables. Of course, I would have never met the girl of my dreams-Sarah from Hawaii!

I got smoked in my two blackjack sessions where I was 0-6-1 on double downs and never saw a BJ, -700. Video Poker +265 and Craps +350. No complaints.

Well I really had the GN brass worried as Fishhead gave me Bob Dancer's cheat sheet on how to play the 100% payback double bonus video poker. With my sheet close by I slipped a $ 100 bill into the machine and I was off and running. It may have been my imagination but I'm sure I heard a lot of hustling around going on above me in the catwalk. As my credits continued to decrease, the noise up above me seemed to increase. I now realize the noise was actually the GN brass doing cartwheels upon seeing the Bob Dancer's cheat sheet in my hand. Long story.... quick ending. $ 100 was gone quicker than my exit from the Poker Tournament ! Thanks again Fishhead ! I owe you ........

I profited a small amount, aprox $300 for the trip. Got killed Thursday and then slowly worked my way back for a small profit.

Of course sitting with Bucsfan and winning 11/13 horse races was very profitable!

Unbelievable run by Bucs, it was awesome.

IndianaMike · Aug 22, 2005

IndySports and I both left as small winners, but very hungover and hurting today

winkyduck · Aug 22, 2005

After Friday i was up about $200

after a less than stellar day on the bases Saturday - left up about $70 meaning i got my rental car for free - especially after i plopped down a little over $30 at Chuck E Cheese Sunday at lunch with my nephew (The kid burned thru 100 tokens in less than 2 hours!)

I lost $20 in the slots and paid $20 for the poker tournament so I lost $40. It may sound funny to hear this but I'm not a big gambler. That is, in games where the advantage is against me.

I do love sports gambling though.

-1500 But had a great time.

I won around 4 out of 85 on blackjack hands. And my Angels did me wrong. Still was a blast!

REDEYE · Aug 22, 2005

I was winning from the get go but went into slump Sat and finished down

wilheim · Aug 22, 2005

I lost less than $100 gambling, but still managed to spend a skinny one ($1,000) somehow. Mostly tips from what I recall.

I left Vegas a winner. For those of you who were at the sportsbook with me over the days, (Tatehill, GiJoe, Bucs, Coach LT, Cedar, and all the Indiana boys....) know I did very well there. Only played 4 games, but won all 4, finishing 4-0. Also, had some very nice luck at the Blackjack tables. I played there with some other posters, Desethi, his brother, Illini,and had some very good luck there as well. Add in the fact that I also won the grand prize raffle of $1,500 at the bash on Saturday night. So all in all, I very nice proifitable weekend, up over $3,000. :103631605
