Here's the chance for you non-slot playing, card sharks to brag a little?
As for me, the Casinos pay their light bills with the money I lose when I attempt to play blackjack! I suck at Blackjack and have never played craps.

OF, create a 2nd account and post on this thread! The IRS won't know about the 2nd account!

When I graduated HS my family went on a cruise. I started with $200 and got down to $15. Finally figured it out a little bit and walked out winning back my $200 plus an additional $85. I was pretty excited for my first time really gambling. Parents couldn't believe it!

I only lost $50 once but I took $500 so that's practically like winning $450.

I went to a club in Vegas with some blackjack tables out back by the pool. $75 minimum bet. First hand I won, then I proceeded to lose like $300.
So I guess I won $150 once

You'd never believe it anyway...so what's the point? Let's just say it was a "fair sum". And yes, I could have bought a new outboard with it....but that's all yer gettin' !

Son, now that's livin' right there! Nobody would ever believe my "beginner's luck" story about the very 1st time played Blackjack at the Isle of Capri in Mississippi on our way to vacation in Destin. It wasn't "New Boat Motor" money, but it was more than enough to pay for our trip to Destin for 8 days! -alton

Bought in with $100 in Shreveport with blackjack. I went to the bar and started drinking Macallan 18 when I was at $1000. I was 22 and thought I just won the lotto
At Winstar and the poker room I have turned $100 into $250-400 on multiple occasions

Went on a Cruz back in the 90's. Played Black-Jack for the whole week and was ahead 180.00 when it was over. Bad part was The wife and I had a Bar tab about 1200.00 bucks so Did I really win 180.00?

Over the years I am probably even. Last week I cleared $500.00. I don't play often. Usually I can drink for free and break even.

On a 3 day run in Vegas I won over $7k. All on Blackjack
Started on Friday with $300 finished on Friday with $190. Started Saturday morning with $190....stopped gambling around 4pm with $2200 and literally with enough time to run to my hotel room, change into a tux, and hop an elevator to stand in my friends wedding at the top of the Stratosphere. Got hammered drunk at Harrah's and gave a buddies wife $2k and asked her to put that in the room for me I didn't need that much cash on me. Stumbled back into the Stratosphere around 1am and proceeded to get even more drunk playing $100 minimum blackjack. I expected to lose the $200 I had in my pocket quick and go to bed. Nope Won $2500 playing with an old Irish man named Tommy O'Reilly from Waterford, Ireland. We proceeded to support single moms and their childrens future until about 8am during which time most of that $2500 came back out of my pocket. So I've got $2k at the hotel, get that back from friends wife later on Sunday when I finally woke up and proceeded to turning that into $5300. My last hand was late Sunday night and I was playing 2 hands $500 a hand. I split aces out 3 times. So with my original hand I now had 5 hands at $500 a piece. It was sick, my stomach was knotted up. I ended up with 2 18s and 3 19s. The dealer started with a 4 and drew out to a 19. So I pushed 3 and lost 2. I walked with $4300. I spent at least 3k while I was there and came home with $4300. It was a once in a lifetime kind of run.

If you don't make the sucker bets craps offers the best odds in the casino.
Most I ever won was $1200 in about ten minutes at the Las Vegas Hilton.

They had a "Casino night" when I was stationed in Korea that came up to Warrior Base on the DMZ for us. I won $470 playing blackjack that night, and had them change the dealer on me twice. It was a $2 maximum bet table. I really wish I had a picture of myself sitting there playing blackjack with a ammo vest on and a M-203 on my shoulder.

I've had my runs at the craps tables in Vegas. The first was at Treasure Island, won about $800 on a $100 buy in. The last time I was there, I was with friends at the Palazzo and after dinner played craps while my friends tried their luck at blackjack. I bought in for $100 and cashed out at over $500! That was in less than thrity minutes! I love craps!

$4500. But it really doesn't matter as over the long run I probably could have paid for Old Frog's new outboard!! Good times though!

The first time I ever went to Vegas I won $750 playing at a $5 blackjack table the first evening. I was seriously thinking about quitting my job and turning pro.
I went home a few days later with my tail between my legs.
