First Time Gambler

Yesterday I went to the casino for the first time.

It was a very different experience from what I expected. Instead of losing all your money to the slot machines right off the bat (like my parents would have me believe) the slots tease you! I would always start off with a string of semi-good luck, then win a little less than what I spend, then BOOM almost hit rock bottom. Right as I'm becoming discouraged, DING DING DING! Back to the amount I started with.

5 seconds later.

Defeated, I go home and come up with a new strategy. Cheating! So I attempt to teach myself to count cards. If Rain Man can do it, so can I.

Armed with my newly developed skills and a handful of chips, I return to the casino and head towards the nearest blackjack table. Tension builds as the dealer lays down my cards.

 

Of course my first instinct is to post a picture of my fortune on Facebook to show off. Incidentally, casinos don't like you taking pictures. At all.

And that is how I lost all my money and my iPhone.

Well that's a depressing way to end my first blog post... better lighten the mood a bit.
