I’ll always wonder if he would have. Or if he would have wanted even more??
Do you know how many times I have seen someone in casinos who cannot stop even if he has won so much and ends up losing it all in the end?
There were two incidences I saw in person at Hilton casino in Atlantic City (which is now defunct) many years ago.
This really young kid who was barely over 21 started with only a couple of thousand dollars betting 3 hands of $200 each at a $25 blackjack table. He could not lose, so he just kept on pressing and he reached the table max bet of $3,000 very quickly and still playing 3 hands; that's a whopping $9,000 bets per round. In no time, he cleared the rack and he took out all $1,000, $500, and $100 denomination chips and what's remaining in the rack wasn't enough to pay him had he won again, so they stopped the game to fill the rack.
Then, he proceeded to clear the rack THREE TIMES. I have never seen someone with that many orange, purple, and black chips in front of him. The problem was that he kept on drinking and there was no question that he was drunk out of his mind. After he cleared the rack 3 times, he pushed most of $1,000 chips in multiple huge stacks to a girl to the right of him and said "no matter what happens, don't give them back".
Damn, if I was that girl, I would have taken all those $1,000 chips and disappeared.
You know what happened in the end. He lost EVERYTHING including the chips he pushed to his girl since she was dumb enough not to do anytning but just sit there and watch the whole disaster happen.
I have never seen in a casino where they were busy taking the chips back in a chip carrier. It was so sad to watch.
Then, this old man lost $100,000 playing $100 blackjack and the casino gave him a limo ride to his home so he can get more money. He came back and got all his $100,000 loss back and he was probably up $10,000 in the end. If you were that lucky to have gotten that huge loss back, just go home.
Nope, he said to his son that he will play small and sure enough when he was losing badly, the bet size escalated very quickly to the table max of $5,000 and he lost EVERYTHING too.
Those two things I witnessed, I won't ever forget.
