Escaped on lucky 25
I went for a jog today during lunch. Felt good. It was nice to see the Opera House.
After work I went to the casino. Plan was to win $300 and go, as that, coupled with the $200 from yesterday, would be sufficient to cover the final part of the $3500 I withdrew previously for my mum's eye surgery.
I went to a table where an Asian guy was playing by himself and the dealer was an older Asian lady. I played cautious outside bets at first but it got frustrating. I did a lot of red/middle column and it landed on 4 about three times. I mean, I'm exposed to 11 numbers and that exact same number came up three times to cause me to lose at the exact time I placed that particular bet.
Despite that, and with a combination of sector bets, I was hanging around a $250 gain. I had won big on a section bet where I bet $400 and it landed on 30 where I had four splits. After that I was deciding on whether $300 was good enough. When I reached $300 I tried to win a bit more using outside bets for some small amount of spending money (like $50).
I lost more than I should have statistically speaking, and on one spin I decided to go 1-2 sector with minimum bets. It landed on 25 where I had a straight up, so that immediately took me to a $530 gain. There was a dealer change and I decided that that was good enough, so I cashed in and left.
It's a fallacy of the mind, but sometimes after a win, I feel like it was easy and I could easily do it again. However, when I'm contemplating going to the casino or when I'm actually at the table, I realise how hard it is to actually win $500, or even any money at all.
Good thing is I remain cautious.
