Its Not My Money!

This last weekend while my buddy Shaun was in town we decided to go blow a few dollars at the casino playing blackjack. To give you a little background we each decided to play with a hundred dollars and just have a good time. Now statistically speaking the odds are in the casinos favor and for most of the night we worked in a see-saw like fashion where one of us would go ahead and the other would be down. About the time we started to debate leaving I was sitting with close to $200 while Shaun was around $60. Now call it Christmas spirit or maybe it was just the full moon but we decided $5.00 a hand just didn't cut it, why not make it house maximum at $50.00 a hand, of course as it goes I ended up with a 11 which almost mandates that I need to double down making my bet an even $100. This is the christmas spirit right? Of course as my luck goes I pull a 2 which leaves me with 13 needless to say I lost my $100 and was now sitting around where I started. As it went we both still had money so we continued to play $50 a hand. This continued for a few more hands until Shaun ran out of cash and I decided to stop with around $60 to my name. So as we head for the door with my $60 we decide in one more show of Christmas spirit to go all or nothing, so I handed the cash to Shaun and we pulled over to the new table. He puts down a $50 bet and keeps playing for about 5 minutes or so until he turns around to me and says we are sitting around $300 are we ready to leave. We left the other two players on the table we so kindly interupted with our freekish betting stratigies staring as we walked out the door laughing! Quite the night of fun!
