[S O F I]

I'm on somewhat of a losing streak following Vegas.


Tell me about your gambling problems.

 

[Bobby Sands]

$40 is nothing.

 

[Flipmo]

For the last 2 months, I've been on a 1 team loss problem. That means, I'll pick 6 teams to win, and I'll keep losing the bet by 1 team, and it is usually the big fave to win the match.

I'd be a good 2000$ richer if all my bets would be won.

 

[Da_Funk]

I've only ever gambled once and I won $40. Not really my thing.

^money better spent on strippers

hookers*

he said a G

 

[Duke]

Strippers can turn into hookers with enough money.

But whatever, strippers, hookers. Money better spent on women, let us concur on that.

$40 is the max I play when I go to the casino. It's nothing compared to how much the people I know play.

 

[S. Fourteen]

$40 is nothing.

It's funny you guys argued the strippers thing cus it reminds me of something. We had two rooms and there were 4 of us. I fell asleep a little early, alcohol took its toll on me, and them other fools actually called some call girls up. I guess they hustled em out of some $300 and didnt even touch em lol. I dont remember any of this but them hoes were tryin to wake me up and I guess when I got up I threw em out in the hallway all naked. Guest services came up and thats when I was told everything lol.

It's a type of blackjack with some differences. You can look it up on wiki. They don't have it in vegas, but other casinos have it.

The Difference Between Blackjack and Spanish 21

Do you ever wish you could double a three-card eleven at the blackjack tables? And wouldn’t it be nice if a total of 21 always won? Or maybe you think you deserve a special bonus for getting a 7-card 21? Your wish comes true with Spanish 21, but not without a price. Compared with blackjack, Spanish 21 offers the player a lot more options, which can make the game a lot more exciting – and challenging. But giving the player more options reduces the house edge, so Spanish 21 compensates by using an altered deck. Let’s take a closer look at all these differences between blackjack and Spanish 21:

Spanish 21 Deck: Spanish 21 uses a typical 52-card deck – but without the four Tens. The removal of the Tens creates a 48-card deck, in which only 12 of the 48 cards (four jacks, four queens, and four kings) are worth ten. Because the high-value cards are so valuable to the player (for blackjack, doubling down, and busting the dealer), a Spanish 21 deck is decidedly in the house’s favor.

Doubling: In Spanish 21, players are allowed to double down on any number of cards, not just on the first two cards – as in blackjack. Moreover, some variations of Spanish 21 allow ‘redoubling,’ or doubling down on a hand that has already been doubled. Finally, after doubling down, surrendering is still an option. This action is often called ‘forfeit’ or ‘double down rescue.’

Player 21: A player who arrives at a hand total of 21 always wins at a Spanish 21 table, regardless of the dealer’s hand.

Special Payouts: There are also special payouts for extraordinary hands:

* a seven-or-more-card 21 pays 3:1
* a six-card 21 pays 2:1
* a five-card 21 pays 3:2
* a 6-7-8 of all spades pays 3:1
* a 6-7-8 of all other suits pays 2:1
* an unsuited 6-7-8 or a 7-7-7 pays 3:2
* note: the above payouts do not apply if the hand was doubled - a suited 7-7-7 versus a dealer 7 pays a bonus of $1000 for bets less than $25 and $5000 for $25+ bets. All other players at the table are paid a $50 bonus as well.
note: the above payout does not apply if the hand was split

Or there's a wiki explanation link like SOFI said.

I think I lost 100 or 500 Euros on the Croatia-Turkey game or something along those lines... I don't really remember.

I know that I won 500 Euros on Holland-Russia, Portugal-Germany and Spain-Italy. I won a lot at the end of that tournament.

I remember crying when Turkey won those penalties. I think I texted Flipmo or something...
