I do not want to jinx my winning streak but it feels SOOOOO good, I want to share with everyone. The past two weeks I'm up 3 grand, the past month I'm up 6 grand. I'm afraid it's just a mater of time before I go on tilt and give it all back and more. It's happened time and time again.
Wife and I went to the River Spirit casino in Tulsa twice this past week. We went for the Buffet and we had business in Tulsa also. I get a few perks at River Spirit, two rooms a month , a couple of Buffets, and around a $100 in free play per month. I prefer Downstream casino near Joplin, It's twice as far to drive but they treat me really well there. Over $8,000 a year in free play, They fill my gas tank every trip, multiple rooms for myself, family and friends, any food I want, plus any concerts. Why would I want to gamble anywhere else? Because I gamble that's why.
I refuse to play table games that charge an Ante. The $25 BJ is Ante free. We lost $400 at BJ. Moved on to Neptune slots and lost another $400. I feel myself going on tilt. Wife is cautioning me. I ignore her advice and go to Red Ruby slot. Invest another $200. I run it up to $258, wife is telling me I can leave, that I've got some of my money back. The next spin I get a red screen. It stays red and I cash out $550. A $450 net loss for the day. We return for another Buffet on Saturday night. Again Neptune slots suck down $400. I go to Red Ruby invest another $200, get a red screen and cash out $440. A $40 win.
Sunday, I head to Downstream. I have $365 in free play, which I play on Neptune slot. I cash out $258. Head to Pai Gow. Buy in for $1,000, Things are not going well. I play it down to $400. I get a ten high that pays $500. After an hour, I'm up $300. I take a break. I think I'm going to leave, I've had a nice meal, comped a $50 gas to fill my truck and won over $500. A host informs me that I'm in the running for a $500 cash drawing and my odds are pretty good. I stay another 90 minutes for the first drawing.. I'm one of those people that can not be in a casino and not gamble. I end up staying for two drawings. 2 and a half hours. My name is not drawn.
I'm playing Pai Gow. One phenomnal hand happens. I have a jack high that pays $300, expecting to lose my $125 main bet but always hoping for a push. Dealer turns up a nine high and I win the main bet. That is amazing. I leave the casino $1,700 winner.
