Crazy times back in the 90s

Being a degenerate gambler for 30 years , i have a few stories :-)

Casinos -

I first started to visit casinos in the early 90s  basically on pay-day a group of us would go after work ,  usually after sinking 5 quick pints at £1 a pop followed by large jugs of vodka and redbull in our local wetherspoons to warm up. Usually i would have around £150-£250 which i was prepared to gamble , once i had a drink (but even without a drink) i would never be content with winning 100 or doubling up ( always going for big hits) so most of the time we ended up very drunk, broke ,taxi home via kebab shop .  I do recall a few interesting stories :lipssealed:

- Once we decided to gamble our taxi fare at 5 in morning - lost , 13 mile walk back  ( a few weeks earlier i done the same had 1 x £25 chip put on 10/13 split  - 10 came in .

- Back then it was £500 max bet on red/black i went all in on black and it was red - lucky the dealer said my bet was void because there was £700 odd there on my bet :-) ended up leaving 3k up end of night .

- Had a real good night was up to £5.4k and friend also won, we  decided to get first train from Newcastle to London kings cross and get very drunk  , ended up in soho clip joint (we were just 19-20 clueless) 2 big gorillas tried to bill us £500 for a couple pints of larger and some girls sitting with us ,, things got messy ,  police came , took us into custody (for our own saftey ) arrested every one in clip joint , seized video cctv ,,  after getting intervied about the events that took place we were given a armed police escort back to the train station ( blue lights going , high speed - was total madness ) we were told the place was owned by very dangerous russian mafia :shocked:

- A work friend has done his balls in , very drunk, was all in on roulette  - just as the ball stopped  he grabbed it off the wheel , threw it in his mouth and swallowed it  !!!  He was eventually given his origional bet back but barred .

This part reminded me of this video, apparently the guy swallowed it as he thought the casino were cheating with a vibrating ball so he would feel it in his belly :bigsmile:
