This is a question Gambling

Broke the bank at Las Vegas, or won a packet of smokes for getting your tinkle out in class? Outrageous, heroic or plain stupid bets.

First time i went to a casino
I was only about 21 or 22 and very naive.

Me and my mate had heard the horror stories of gambling, and had seen our brothers waste hundreds of £££ for nothing.

So there we found ourselves on the roulette table, we kept it simple, £5 on red or black. A game of 2-1 odds. £5 bet = either £10 win or £5 loss. After 15 mins I was already £20 down. So to was my mate.

I noticed he kept going for Reds , and I kept going for blacks. Then it hit me, a fail safe method that would guarantee no losses.

It may be worth noting that we were very, very drunk and it was fast approaching sunrise AM.

We devised a method whereby we stuck to our colours and split the winnings. And it worked… neither of us lost, but at the same time, neither of us were really winning.

About 10 minutes into this, the Croupier noticed this and queried us on our ‘method’ and made it clear that it was pointless.

We didn’t mind, in our eyes we could win, and lose as much as possible, and we would go home level.

Got free buttys too.
