Won $50...then fined $88
So I got bored at home, and when my parents came back I decided to go to the casino. I decided even if I lost this $100, I'd still have enough to spend the rest of the week. I thought I'd break up the $100 into $5 chips and play my sector, but had my calculations wrong, thinking I needed seven chips per spin but it was eight.
I drove out there and decided to take the risk by not getting a parking ticket. I'd be quick anyway, I told myself.
I went in, saw an empty table but decided against it, took a walk around and every other table was either $10 or full, so I went back to the empty table which now had an old man playing. I got $5 chips and played my sector. After two spins there was a change of dealers.
I was up $30 and sat there for a while wondering if I should just leave. I decided not to. I used the $30 to bet my sector minus 28/31 and it landed on...28. I then bet my sector again, this time including 28/31 and it landed on...28!
I was now up $50 and decided to go. The old lady that had been playing was losing and cashed in her remaining chips which was like $30. I cashed in after her and the dealer asked if I wanted a black. I looked confused, then said yes.
I cashed in at the register then left. As I was walking back to my car I saw parking officers. I knew I had been caught. Part of me panicked, but I told myself there was nothing I could do anyway. I calmly walked to my car, took the ticket and envelope off my windscreen, got in and drove away. $88 fine...fuck. Yet it still felt good to have won...somehow my emotions was telling me I was up, yet my logic was saying "mate, no matter which way you calculate it, you are down $38".
I love logic.
As I was driving back, I realised why the dealer thought my request to cash in was weird - I was already using cash chips! Duh! I could've just taken them to the cash register anyway!
I drove to the shopping centre near me. The plan was to get some petrol and buy a DVD to watch. I went to JB and found nothing of interest, so I went to the reject shop to buy some junk food and then went to get some petrol. I then went home, feeling my gambling urge had been satisfied - for now.
