Spin of a wheel.......

Went out for a meal with a friend today, went into town, we were going to go somewhere decent'ish, we actually passed the Ivy, but you wouldn't get a chance at a table this time of year without a reservation, so we went into Westminster and ended up having steak in the Hippodrome. So we finished eating, my mate said he fancied going downstairs and chancing a few quid on a table, he was in last week and ended up walking out with £17,000. Played the tables today and lost £800 in ten minutes. I gave him a few disapproving 'I-told-you-so' looks as I drank my coke. We walked out just over an hour later, he had £10 grand in his pocket. :cwm24: "Life's a gamble", he always says. :wink: :icon_lol:

Knew someone who won over £80k on one visit to a casino. He lost it all within a few weeks by going back (as they do).

This brings to mind an old saying a Bookie friend once said, "We can do without the Bookies/Casinos - they can't do without us".

This guy's on a winning streak at the moment mate, used to own a racehorse, real gambler, he has won over 100K this year that I am aware of, BUT I do know one year when he lost a similar amount.

[Ako Si Jamie]

What does he play? Roulette?

[Tawi2]

He loves poker, but yesterday was roulette. He won the £17k last week at poker, it was a good day yesterday.

Thing with gamblers. They tell you when they win big. Never tell you when they lose big.

I knew a bloke always went on about all the big wins he had. But he was always in debt because he always ended up losing it in the end.

[Tawi2]

True that, but this bloke's always told me when he has lost, it is part and parcel of the game, :smile: he has no debts whatsoever. I know that, got a few quid :smile:

Anyone who loses 100k in a year and plays roulette at a casino isn't the smartest cookie in the jar. Perhaps he should give up gambling.

[Tawi2]

Nice house in Surrey, enviable lifestyle, 5'ish holidays in a year, very good business savvy, he is a smart cookie. :icon_lol: Poker is his favourite, he played the tables because it filled in an hour after lunch :smile:

[Ako Si Jamie]

I'm talking in a gambling sense. He didn't make his money from roulette did he?

[Tawi2]

Nah, poker. :wink: Gamblers are like that. I hang around with a couple, they take chances, unlike the normal 9-5 guy. Gamblers are wired differently, it's just how it is. :smile:

[Ako Si Jamie]

All his wealth just from poker despite losing 100k in one calendar year? :Erm:

[Longweekend]

I couldn't win an argument....:bigcry:

[Tawi2]

All his wealth just from poker despite losing 100k in one calendar year? :Erm:
I never said all his cash comes from gambling, the 100k was from when he had his racehorse :wink:

[Ako Si Jamie]

That sounds more feasible.

There's a racehorse called Onlyfoolsownhorses too. Great name! :icon_lol:
