Penny slots, The one I hit 1000 on, I was playing the max per spin at 2.50

The others I was playing around 2 bucks per as well, but not max

I typically put a 100 bill into the machine.  even at 2.50 a spin, you can burn through that sh1t in 15 mins if you catch a cold streak

Fu, lost 500 at foxwoods 2 weeks ago. Did get a free room, an indoor countertop grill and a free comedy show featuring Bob Marley who was funny as fock. Girlfriend ended up with a free big name purse too. 

Thank god for a degenerate gambling brother who shared his comps. 

Fock those slot machines,  like you said 100 bucks in 15 minutes is easy.

2 years ago.   Motor City casino.  My wife is playing $1 slots, 3 coins per spin.

I don't remember the name of the game but she lined up the 3 triple red seven jackpot and won $12,000.

HOLY HELLS YEAH BATMAN!!!!

We return to the casino the following weekend--because of course we would

Same machine, she lines up the 3 triple red sevens and wins $12,000 again.

Swear to God.  24K in 2 weeks.    Put new windows in my house with that windfall.   Damn that was great

I was wondering where she got the cash to afford me

 

best part of hitting less than $1200, is dont have to claim taxes

I lost $600 in 2019 (at encore)  I downloaded my report.

[vuduchile 1,940]

I bought 7 boxes of basketball cards last week for $200.00.  They arrived today and I debated whether to turn around and sell the lot unopened or take a gamble and open them. 

I took the game and scored 5 really nice cards and 10 decent cards..  Value is $650 raw, maybe $1400 graded. 

If you see 2019-20 Prizm or Optic basketball cards at Walmart or Target, buy them all and double your money flipping those sealed boxes the same day.  If you wanna gamble.  Open them  and see what you get.  

 

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

Hell yeah! Love the winning. I lost about 500 on football when the season started. Once I lose 500 I stop. I had 0 in my bovada account. Once the season ended I had gained 800 from my pre season bets. I don't even remember the bets I made, but they hit!

[WhiteWonder 2,171]

Was at borgata Monday. I also throw 100 in penny slots. I think I got bored and cashed out at $110 . I hit a 20 free spins bonus and it only paid 18 dollars (I was playing 1.20 per spin)

lost a hundo at the roulette table. I don’t usually play but my cousin and uncle were there so I figured I’d play alongside

won 250 playing blackjack 

 

nothing to write home about but the lunch buffet was great.

I can’t imagine going through the effort of listing on eBay and shipping boxes of cards out just to double $200. I would definitely be opening them

I don’t use eBay.  FB groups, marketplace or card shows

I already have shipping supplies and and UPS picks up form my store daily.  
 

If I had decided to flip them, it would take  5 minutes to list them, and slap a new label on the box they arrived in.  
 

Easy money. I will literally buy every single box or pack of these particular cards if I can ever find them again.

I wasn’t saying don’t buy them just saying for the effort of relisting and shipping out just to turn 200 into 400 I’d rather do what you did and open them up. Also I thought you picked these up at a store and would the need to box them up before shipping

The machine? It was something Asian and dragon themed. For the bonus I had to pick a color dragon (each dragon had a set of rules like 10 extra spins or 20 or 30 extra but 10 had a slightly higher multiplier)

I have yet to see a single pack or box of these cards in retail stores.  I was able to get mine from a connection in Oklahoma.  She bought everything that was left on the shelf.  If she'd been able to get her hands on $5K worth of these cards, I would have bought them all.   

For the most part, these cards are gone before they even make it to the shelves.  Many of the distributors have arrangements with people that meet them at the store as soon as they're ready to stock the shelves.  

And again, I'm already set up to ship stuff like this from my store.  I do it all the time. 

As for the time and effort, I've spent hours at the blackjack table and walked down more than $200, more than once. 

5 minutes for $200 was tempting, but I thought this might be my only shot to bust open any of these cards at a reasonable price.  Unless my connection in OK gets lucky again, I doubt I'll see them again.

The Wynn Resorts-owned casino has been lowering minimum bets at its table games, offering free parking and introducing budget food options including a taco truck on the casino floor.

$25 is the lowest they have, Foxwoods has $5 and even a $1 blackjack table
