Jack went to Vegas.....
and never played Baccarat :facepalm:
I played a ton of it. I was an honorary Asian for half the trip.
The most interesting time I had, was sitting at a $5 blackjack table at the Orleans. Some young black kid and I were playing, and this scraggly white dude, who looked like a chronic drunk, plops down, and throws a bunch of loose bills in the betting square. "Cash plays", yells the dealer, and out go the cards.
Guys wins. Dealer counts out the cash. About 15 bills totaling $170. Dealer cuts out $170 in chips, and the guy puts the cash and chips back in the square. He wins again. Dealer re-counts cash and chips, and cuts out $340 more in chips. The guy would plow it in, and pull it out, and finally lost the cash on a two hand play he made. (He won the other hand as a double down!)
He played about three minutes, and was up between $5-6,000. Then, he lost about half of it and walked to another table, where I can only assume he blew it all, since he stormed out 5 minutes later.
I said to the dealer, "That guy was never walking out of here with a penny." I have no idea what his goal was, but making five, six grand in less than 5 minutes, sure seems like a pretty good deal to me!
Vegas, baby!
