Illusory Riches

In 2004, I got lucky playing blackjack in Las Vegas, and won $14,600.00 in a span of about eight hours. Then, attempting to replicate the feat in the California Indian casinos over the next month, I lost it all back. So, it was fun while it lasted, which wasn't very long.

Like they say, scared money don't make money
But it was all so strange....aggressive betting led to victory, and defeat, all within a month. I understand how someone could win the lottery yet lose it all so easily too. I guess the key is what you do with the money when you have it! At least buy a beer, or two....

The Indian casinos out here are shit.
I've done Pechanga and Morongo and the best bit about both was the weather.
