I know a lot of people but I chose not to get involved. One guy makes 30k on a run. After he gets payed, blows it all at a card room. Why card room and not bigger Indian casino? The smaller clubs don't face recognition you with a warrant like the big boys do.
I also know a childhood friend of mine who won 200k in one night of gambling. The first hour, he took home 77k with 10k still at the table to hold. By early morning, 200k more. He had so much chips that he builds a wall with it and hides behind it. You would thought the guy was playing poker but each chips are 100 bux each.
Check this out. The guy was unemployed and the money was loaned to him by a loan shark. He didn't quit that night. The house or corporation ran out of money for the day and told him to leave. By the following week, he lost it all with nothing to show for.
I saw dude last month at Green Papaya restaurant in Stockton as he was cooking up my pad Thai.
To make the story even more interesting, his sister used to work at that casino. One night, she clocked out from work and played poker. She dropped dead from a brain aneurysm.
Because of gambling, he's divorced.
There is always a story to be told by most gamblers out there. I know plenty of them. From guy losing it all to set himself on fire at his local park to Casino dealers giving up booty as they borrowed money but can't pay back the interest. I also know a pit boss who was a meth user that one day he went into the cage and took all their money and ran. He got away but did ran back and apologized to the big boss owner in order to get them charges dropped and not having to pay back a dime. He also told me stories about them women gamblers whom he called sick fawks as they ring his door bell on any given weekend to pay off a debt by selling their bodies. Azn women are his sick fawks.
I even know a security guard who taught me how to get free booty. Sick bitaches will leave depressed but for $20 to get her money back, she down for anything. He drives a old minivan with no back seat.
So many stories that I'm sick to my stomach knowing about it.
