It was a weekend at the casino...

Woot! Woot! I had a great weekend at the casino. I turned $300 bucks in to $3,000. I thought it was crazy, but I'm sure it was beginner's luck. I never posted up wrist shots of my watch so I might as well do it now. Enjoy!

Nice!

I miss those days!

Are you going to take that 3k and buy yourself another Rolex. Perhaps a Sub-date?

If you are going to post your first wrist shot, that one looks like a good way to start. Congratulations...

I've heard of many great casinos in Cali. Why'd you stop going, Omega?

I am thinking of buying a jubilee bracelet for my Explorer II. I wonder if anyone has a picture of the combination. I've seen the jubilee with the GMT Master II, and it looks fabulous.

Nearly enough cash for another Rolex . On another note makes one realise how much cash a watch actually costs.

We'll done

I say away from casino's, but when I go, I'm the master of turning $3K into $300, which is why I stay away! :)

I always play blackjack because I think it's the only game where you have a good chance to beat the dealer.

Well done, but just make sure you don't lose any of it by being tempted to play some more.

Good luck anyway - JJ

The best bet in any casino is not walking through the doors. That said, I love throwing the dice or playing BJ as much as the next guy. Nice work...but as JJ says, stay away now and actually keep it. It's amazing how hot streaks always seem to be followed with extremely cold ones!

Exactly. Nothing hurts more than giving back all your house 'earnings' and then visiting the ATM only to dump that $ just as fast. Ouch!!!

As someone who works in a casino, I disagree. Please walk through the door every chance you get!

And to the OP, congrats!

Congrats on the winning trip..............


Unfortunately for most folks the winning streaks are much less frequent than the losing streaks. Fortunately you left with your winning streak intact.
