So me and 3 buddies of mine end up at the Bellagio this afternoon, and well, I'm too late to get a seat in a satellite for the $500+40 tourney. 4 of us start talking, and I say that I guess I'll go do a blackjack satellite. Try to turn $70 into $540 and just buy in. If I lose, I lose. Anyhow, the idea seems to go over pretty well. The new plan is to each chip in $70, play one hand, and if we win one of us will play the tourney.
So with $280 cash playing, we get dealt a 7 and an A. The dealer shows a K, and it's on us. Well, we gotta hit. Bingo when we draw a 2. The dealer had an 8 down, and we take the winnings, and tip her $5.
Well, now we have $15 left over. Should we buy some beers? Wait... Roulette pays 35-1, so it would be $525 on a $15 bet... add them together and that's another seat!
One of us (not me) starts saying to bet on 19. 19. 19. Wait we should bet 3 numbers $5 each to spread the risk. No then we won't have $540 for another seat. Ok fine go bet on 19.
Yahtzee. They push us the nickel chip and the quarter chip (funny how a nickel's bigger than a quarter, but oh well), and we have another seat.
Yeah both of the horses busted out out of the money, but it's a hell of a story, and I'll never forget it. I guess you had to be there when that 19 came up for it to have the same effect as it had on me.
