777 - satan on roids?

today after work i'm going to the casino. this one doesn't have a poker room, so my g.o.c. is roulette. while this will undoubtedly be both fun and interactive for me, i've chosen to make it so for you as well.

got any lucky numbers? well, tell me! i will play them. furthermore, i will provide incentives, sort of. if you are not on my blog list right now, and your number wins me $100 or more, i will feed your starving legal ego for free until september 1. should i like your blog, i will leave it linked. should i not, sayonara. should you win me $50 or more, i will give you a one time mtv-like shoutout in a blog post. i have yet to decide on an incentive for those already linked to me (suggestions? and dont make them ridiculous, i obviously wont agree). and dont worry, i dont have (nor do i expect) to end the day with a net gain for you to be linked. you wont be held responsible for any net loss due to my playing other numbers or due to the length of time i play. rather simply, if your number hits enough while i've bet it to exceed one of those values, you win.

a few ground rules.
1. one (1) number per person
2. no duplicate numbers will be allowed, unless they're posted in such a short time span that it's clear the second poster could not have seen the number posted before they left it
3. numbers will only be accepted between the time of this post and 4:30pm est
4. #19 has already been submitted via text message by dominique, and so it is taken
5. i reserve the right to make any more ground rules which i may deem necessary or desirable prior to the end of this contest


i absolutely dont expect to come home with more money than i leave with, or even the same amount. gambling is fun, and the money spent is spent on entertainment. the figures have been set at relatively high numbers because i dont want to just link to just anyone who hits a number once. you have to earn it, unlike me, who will just be gambling. seems fair. and even if it's not, that's ok, i do what i want!


UPDATE: so how did i fare? meh. here's who won me some money
dominique - 17
damon - 35
first year - 35
myself (#27) - 35

12.... worked for me the one and only time I played :)

But if it wins you don't have to feed my starving legal ego if you don't want to ;)

As cliche as it may seem, 21 is my lucky number.

For some reason it always seems to work when I play blackjack...

All that I ask is if you win and you are suddenly skyrocketed to great fame and fortune that you don't forget the little people that made it all possible.

Well I really like 25, but it's up to you to play that or to play my new jersey number 26 since 25 was taken. 26 is working out pretty lucky as the last time it was on the field was after an INT on our own 15 with about 1:30 left, down by 6, and then the offense went down and scored - this against a rival in the standings, so the big celebration that ensued may be yours if you give 26 a try as well.

The fundamental problem with your approach is that you played roulette. Those fucking French bastards set out to make a decent game and then gave up half-way through. Fuckers can't do anything right. Except for poker. That was an exception.

But, the point is, you should have played blackjack or my personal non-poker game, craps. Craps may seem intimidating at first, but it's actually super-easy. More importantly, craps is the only place in the entire casino where you can make a bet where you have a 50/50 chance. Oh yeah.

5 is my lucky number. I went to Vegas, walked to a high stakes roullette table, plunked down one bet on black 5, and won! Then I walked away.
