read about this fucking idiot:
http://www.carbonpoker.com/blog/3443-0525-25/The guy basically lives in Vegas for 2 years (in 2006 he lived at the WYNN before Steve Wynn booted his ass out), and then spends 2007 at Caesars and the Rio. He basically GAVE his money away to the casinos and staff, and when you actually hear ALL the anecdotal evidence and stories, it is clear he had to have been totally fucking drunk/pickled the entire time. Even the UNLUCKIEST monkey, with a 200 million dollar bankroll, wouldnt LOSE so one-sidedly it seems...
I will let everyone know right now, even though I spend oodles of time in places like Vegas, Reno and lately Atlantic City, I am NOT a heavy gambler, at least not by the casino's standards or as proportion to my total worth. I do receive some perks and comps, mainly free rooms and food and the infrequent use of a limo, but essentially the casinos HATE me because I never use the credit they offer and I am actually a "good" player, meaning I dont play disadvantageous games or do stupid shit. The highest I ever play is $100 Blackjack (usually it is $25-50), and the only MACHINE I will touch is Video Poker (with 99.5% or higher payback)...when I play Poker against people I never play for stakes higher than $10/$20 blinds ($3000-5000 MAX buyin)...
Playing 50 grand a hand or 100K or more Poker Buyin is just fucking retarded, think of the good you could do with that money, think of the WHORES you could have!!!
This guy blew 200 million bucks in a goddamn casino! Think on that, realizing, for 1/10 of 1% of that amount (200k) you could essentially BUY a whore like Gia Jerkins for a year and have her on 24/7 standby gobble duty....it's a tragedy.
