Gambling: Part 2

2 lessons learned:

Lesson 1
If you are at the casino, like I was, and am also asian, like I am, and therefore will have a strong, undeniable compulsion to gamble, then do yourself a favor and play a game that you like and are good at. 

Don't sit around and hope to get on a table that you want, like I did, and then go and lose money at a crappy game like video roulette, because you got bored and wanted to gamble just cause.

Lesson 2
If you have a friend that you know is either very lucky, or skilled, or you just know that he/she is going to win.  Stick to them like glue and bet on the same things they've betting on. 

My friend Tom with whom I've been to the casino twice now is one such individual.  On his first hand in Harrah's in New Orleans he won $300 playing blackjack.  I think he was up over a thousand that weekend.  On our last trip a couple weeks ago, he played a $5 slot machine and won $1100 on one pull. 

SOOO....lesson learned.  Don't play crappy games just to play.  And bet on Tom.
