He actually got it right back with a 10K bet and hit a blackjack. Then he got crushed for 45K and went psycho

It is pretty sweet that this guy exhibits all of the traits of a true degenerate gambler (and I'm sure many of us have had episodes when we've gone off and done a little of this as well).

"OK, that sucked, salvage bet here"

"I gotta double up to get it back"

"Well, things have to turn sooner or later"

"Can't stop now, good streak has to be coming"

"Gotta get back the money I lost"

Just a non-stop series of degenerate gambler actions. You can even see it in this guy's face and reactions. Awesome.

there was a guy from the uk that liquidated all his assets and put it all on red or some crap and won. i forget how long ago this was.

About 1 1/2 years. That guy was a moron. He played at the Hard Rock, which has 0 and 00. He should have played at the Venetian, which uses European rules, or only 0. But he won.


[/ QUOTE ]

Actually the Hard Rock backed out the day before the bet was to happen. The bet was handled at the Plaza downtown.

What an absolute moron. I wish he lost, that would have been hilarious.

I agree, fun to watch. I was cheering against him the entire time to see his reactions. The best line was during his 14K double down bet he said, "this is what I live for" before looking at his double down card (nice of the Aladdin to let him touch the card).

Tmonkey thing I just dont get. Only monkey I know is the one I spank!!

[/ QUOTE ]

Monkey! Monkey! Its an Asian thing. I think it has to do with it being the 10th sign of the Chinese Zodiac (representing 10s) etc. Old school asians love to yell it out when they got big money riding. They have other superstitions too, like the number 4 I think. Such bad luck for them certain casinos omit it from the felt.

this is the same reason why the Wynn skips floors 40-49.

btw, ive also heard the term Winner Winner Lobster dinner but usually its saved for when you win big.

It would be sweet if he got a seat in the big game at Belagio. He'd look at his cards and start screaming "MONKEY MONKEY MONKEY" and when he wins a pot "WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER." Then he'd turn to Barry and tell him he was going to give him...seven...hundred...dollars.

I can't stand that guy...

[/ QUOTE ]

LMAO about the Barry comment.

One minor point but another irritating thing about this putz -- he kept saying, "Winner chicken dinner." I need therapy; I was screaming at the TV, "It's 'winner winner chicken dinner,' you a-hole!" Two 'winners' not one.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, you probably also realized that "winner chicken dinner" is "his saying." HAHHAHAHHAHAHHA

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, he invented that and 'monkey' LOL!
