@Claire suggested I do this over here too, I like the idea.

Keeping track of my local wins and losses.

Why is winning so much more fun than losing? I was not excited at all to write up the $2,500 loss, obviously, I avoided it for three weeks. I know one thing I learned from that experience and I will do my best going forward to stick to not getting belligerent while gambling.

Started off with a $600 win from this slot machine… Split with a friend.

Went over to a $5-$200 BJ table. I had colored up $900 (+$400) but decided to play behind my friend for two hands. Which they made me “pay an ante” for…

I wasn’t feeling that table so I took my $500 in profit down to a $25-$250 table (Limits are atrocious.)

I could have bought in for $100 and been fine.

First hand $100 win… All the way up to +$450 on the first shoe. I was debating quitting but wanted to press my luck. Second shoe stars with a $50 bet, win. Then a $100 bet, win. Back and forth at an average bet of $125. Then this… I bet $125 and win. Stack it all, table max. Next eleven hands went like this…

$250 win, $250 win, $250 win, (Pause for a moment and ask how many fucking hands can I play---They say two max… THIS FUCKING PLACE.) $500 win, $500 win, (pull back $50 off each hand for who knows what reason) $400 win, push (win one lose one), $250 win…. I colored up once the run stopped.

I was messing with the dealer when he told me the table maximum hands was two…

I said, “…but Bellagio lets me play all six.”

He replied, “Does this look like the Bellagio?”

“Hell no… and good point.”

Once it was all said and done I won $2,525 on this table in 15 minutes.

+$2,525

All of my chips after the two blackjack sessions:

Went over and watched my friend, content on the $3,025 win. Then said to myself let’s try $500. You will lose no more than $500 in a row. Once that happens time to go home.

Ended up turning that $500 into this:

Split deuces vs 5. Chick hits 14. Then hits 15... Long story short had she not hit then I would have doubled both, and won both. $80 hand so huge swing. Lost $240 on the hand. Would have had an additional $560 in chips... May not have mattered but fuckkkkk.

Should have went to bed right here.

Went over to BJ. At this point I was up $1k or so.

Planned on buying in for $400. If we lose time for bed. Got in a spot where I had to double and reach in pocket... Then the chase began.

All those fucking winnings, then some. Went to BJ. Poof.

-$3,200

I should have quit. Go home. It's done. Don't worry about it... Book the $1,000 win... No way you lose five in a row...

Tried again this morning. Nothing going.

-$4,600 on the short trip...

Pretty crazy considering I should have left up $1k. Not sure what my goal was. Wasn't too hammered, but obviously needed a better plan. That double reaching in my pocket did me in. I realize I didn't HAVE to gamble after that, but so it goes.

Always next time.

Went to my local last night, the real local, not Tulsa.

Not much to write about. Valet was closed so I had to walk across the huge ass parking lot didn't bring a coat because I was planning to walk right in from valet. Boyz II Men had a concert at the casino and it had just let out. It was the busiest I have ever seen it.

Started at a Lucky Duck and hit a big spin right off the bat...

Had two times where I had $200 bets out and first base, who played correctly, kept doing weird shit. i.e. hitting 12 vs 5... causing a table loss.

Bunch of pussies out there that are afraid to hit a 16, and no they are not counting the cards.

It all worked out though, and I ended up winning some money. Tried to meet up with @josh, but the timing did not work out.

+$368

+$168 on the night, small clawback in the grand scheme. Planning to lay low until Vegas in 5 weeks.

Maybe never go back to Tulsa?

 

Decided to head to the local to take advantage of some $10 in FP. AKA an excuse to gamble.

Went over and found out that I can get $20 in FP for 5 points from a machine on the back of my Thunder Game Tickets. 5 points would be $50 to $100 Coin-In depending on the machine. For my Lucky Duck Machines - $100. Huge! I went over to the player's club and had them pre-load it. Once you get the 5 points you're was all set to get the FP. I wish I had known this sooner, I have def missed out on opportunities for the FP. I have about 100 tickets or so and it expires on 6/30/2016 so I have some time to get some value out of them, if I need it. Glad I held onto the tickets!

I was planning to play a machine where I would get my 5 points in 5 spins. As I am meandering over to the machine of choice a lady sits down at it. I debate on waiting for her but decided to hit my ATM for a little cash first. First spin +$122

If we can just get three ducks in a row... Then I will be able to post it in the Big Hits Section.

All in all I spent $2 of my money, thanks for the FP before cashing out a winner.

+$240

BW was with me and he wanted to play BJ. I was originally going to just watch but decided I would partake with $140 of my new found winnings. I would leave at least +$100 on the day.

I ended up playing three hands total. Anted $1.50, replenished my $1 chip to my chip collection and tipped $2.50.

Won $20, $20, $25. I was happy with +$300 on the day.

+$60

BW is a maniac at the BJ table. He played reverse basic strategy... Funnily enough the one time he listened to me on the correct call he lost. He hit a 14 vs 3 - we both won(thanks to him). He played solo for a couple of hands and stays on a 14 vs Q... Dealer rolls a 6 then draws a J. He ended up winning $60 on the day mostly from one hand where he doubled a 10 vs 7 and drew a 2... Dealer had a four as the hole card and drew a 5 then a J for him to win.

He wanted to grab lunch and I had still not gotten any points so I was going to put some money in and get my 5 points...

Well two spins into the machine I was up $96 so I said screw the points and left a winner. I generated 0 points because my wins came right away.

+$96

Bankroll come back is in full effect.

Hahah!!

Yeah if I go I'm leaving everything but the five bills in the center console

Although for some reason my promo chips won't be available until Sunday. So maybe I drive over Saturday night and arrive there just after midnight. A peaceful no traffic drive to and from.

 

Hit another local near work during lunch today.

$10 in FP is apparently enough for me to have an excuse.

Went to a Lucky Duck. BW was with me. He wanted some of my action I said ok...

Went down to $3 on a $1 machine and hit it for $8. I said cash it and let's be done. He decided to take it upon himself to go and lost the $8... Dick.

I went over to a $2 Lucky Duck and put in a bill. Lost it quickly. Hit my limit for the day checked my wallet and saw another $100. Decided I didn't want that in my pocket either, so I fed it into the machine.

Hit a decent win to get back my original $100 and $54 additional dollars.

+$54

Then BW wanted to play his terrible version of BJ... I might never play with him again until he learns basic strategy. It is frustrating as hell, even on the wins.

+$33

I have been gone for a little bit...

Licking my wounds and trying hard to save my bankroll for Vegas where I can get some good out of, hopefully mostly winnings.

Went with a couple of friends after a Thunder game two weeks ago. We started off with a mini slot pull everyone threw in $100. Not much happening only made it up to $900 total ($300 in). Then dumped it all.

Found a new machine and my touch was golden. Turned it into $1,000 on the dot and went to another machine hit is for $800 then lost $300…

+$400

All said and done I broke even.

Then we went over to BJ because there was finally three open spots. We started playing hands at $200 apiece when the count was 17 (Friend is a counter.) We got destroyed, bad side of that variance. I had two hands of $200 three times in a row. Dealer got two blackjacks and drew to a 19.

-$1,000

Went over to another table after visiting the ATM. Started off with two hands of $250, pushed, lost one won one, then lost one pushed one, then left the $250 out there to eventually lose it. Then proceeded to dump through the last $500. Going as low as $40 and turning that into $800 before ultimately busting out.

Went to the casino last weekend. Went out to The Grand. No pics this trip.

Got a Red Bull Goose and headed into the HL Slot room.

Third spin I hit it for an $800 winner.

Celebrated with another $15 drink after tip.

Went to BJ Had a cigar with me that I wanted to smoke when we were up $1,000 on the night.

Playing two hands at $50 each. I win my first 10 hands in a row...

Light up the cigar as this guy is cussing under his breath about my cigar... I ask him if he minds if I smoke it, not that I really give a fuck, but he says sure I don't care, as long as it is not cheap. I let him smell it and he approved it wasn't cheap. (Romeo y Juletia 1875 Reserve)

Light it up now up $1,500 on the day. NICE!

Lose the next 10 hands in a row... Back to where we started.

Had one more drink and ended up winning $100 at the table.

FUCK!

+$100

Went to Craps with the $600 in profit. Let's triple it?

No, let's dump it all 6 shooters in a row. Did hit two hardways working on the come out. I do $5/$1 player control. Couldn't ever hit that second time after we parlayed.

-$600

So managed to dump all of the profit and lose $50 on the night.

Decided for once
to go home?
Go home? What? What do you mean? Do you not want to
slay the tables? You only lost $50?
Some gambler you are, BS... Stop being such a
pussy and go gamble some more...

Nope, went home. No ATMS, nothing.

-$50 on the night

2016 Ante Total: $635.50 + $32.50 = $668

How do you keep such an accurate tally? I would have no idea how much I tip. I'm am ongoing tipper at the craps table. With a hot shooter, I have money all over for the dealers.

 

I am only counting my portion out of pocket. If they win $100, and they have for my records it shows as $1. I always do bets for tips. The number shown on my tip section is the out of pocket amount. Likely the actual tips received is a little higher but some of those bets are lost, as well.

If I add additional money to the table for the tips I will account for that. I usually have $100 in a side rack for tips, my intent is to use them all for tips for various bets for the table, but I can grab from them if the table is going to shit and I am losing my ass.
