I had a few nights of moderately controlled gambling, as a method of getting free drinks, and just having fun.

I find it enjoyable to start downtown and just go casino to casino playing a different game at each, for min bets, and just drink a couple rounds, and then take the bus to the north end of the strip or whatever.

It's good times. Only gamboool with money I am prepared to lose now, anyways.

That sounds OK. How much did a night of moderately controlled gambling cost?

Ok, this probably shouldn't be posted in here, but I don't care. It's not a strategy question anyway. I'm just interested in hearing thoughts on it.

SpaceGravy's $25k challenge:

http://www.sngicons.com/article.php?story=20071008160534608

He started taking bets at 2/1, and my former roomate has put up $4k (of which I've bought $500).
He needs $833/day all month, not including rakeback or FPP conversions.

Think it's a decent bet?


If he 25 tables for 8 hours a day and each SNG takes 2 hours to complete, he'd need a 13.88% ROI

And I think that's being pretty lax on him, so you tell me.

I don't think this is the case at all. I have found, at least if he is playing the turbo's that it will be 45 minutes per SNG.

Not sure if you mean turbo or not.

Turbo's usually max at 45 mins. Regulars usually max around an hour and a half.

That's why I said I was being pretty lax on him.

That's not being lax. It's the opposite. If I'm reading you correctly that is.

If you assume 1 hour for each, that's 25 an hour. I think he can get 200 in a day, which means 6k sngs in the month. He needs a little over $4 per sng at that rate, or about 6.5% ROI.

If he decides to be a total sicko and play for more hours a day (definitely possible if he is hell bent on winning the bet), he could accomplish it with a 4% ROI.

I think I made a good investment, but I think overall it comes down to his determination and stamina.

Whether he wins or loses, I'm pretty sure he will regret doing it.

oo yeah 200 SNG's a day would make me want to DIE!!!!

I would be interested to see what sort of volume he plays under normal conditions. I think this is a big factor on if he can pull it off or not. I would imagine that it is going to be very mentally taxing, wait till he loses 22 in a row.

He usually plays 20-25 at once. He only recently stepped up from the $16s to the $60s though. I think he will mostly just be increasing his hours rather than the number of tables.

That wouldn't make you die, but it might drive you nuts. At the very least it would just help you understand where Hellmuth is coming from.

On the most recent trip, I was definitely up at pit games, and down at poker. It was quite sad.

One of these nights can vary in cost, depending on which casinos you hit. $5 min tables and my EV isn't awful. $10, $15 mins and it gets worse, and I probably couldn't sustain the variance.

So I woke up this afternoon (after 15 hours of sleep...coming on the heels of 30 hours of awakedness) and stumbled to the living room to watch some TV and get some breakfast. When I walked into the kitchen, I noticed some bits of rice on the floor, so I picked them up to put them in the sink. I noticed that they weren't hard like dried rice but were in fact...squishy. They were maggots. To my horror, I looked around and ended up find about 40 of them twitching throughout the kitchen. My brother had left a bag of garbage on the kitchen floor for a couple of weeks.

I feel violated.

Based on my Vegas experience with Zach and Acid, this is a way-too-likely scenario. Except Acid won't get drunk and will go to bed by, like, 8:45.

I should shave every single day because I look like a scumbag when I don't do it daily (used to, but I break $50 electric shavers like it's my job when I have them and I can't use a regular razor daily or my face dies), but I shave about twice a week. The only people I have to impress - other than myself, which I spend a lot of the time doing btw - are other people who have no idea what they want to do with their lives attending a community college, so I say **** it.

Body shaving is nice for the ladies though. I've only gone all out in the body shaving department once, and I really didn't enjoy it all that much. But of course, tending the garden every so often is nice though. It totally makes your johnson look bigger, ftw.
