gambling

Debbie's hand got itchy of late... haven't gamble for some time now... think the last round was when she was with her chamber mates (yes, read it fast and it sounds like chambermaids... kinky... anyway back to story)... and that was some 2 years back.

We found an excuse to go up Genting last night. yes, crazy girl... decided to drag her baby up the long windy and wet road in her semi tiredness. oh before that, we filled up our tummy with mama's kitchen claypot loh see fun & superior spinach soup.

I got some Starburst to keep me company too.

got lost somewhere in Kepong. absolutely forgot about the MRR2 bridge closure. anyway, we ended up somewhere in Jinjang before making our way to batu caves.

we reached there just before 10, managed to park the car relatively closeby to the casino, went straight up to the casino, and start playing the moment we reached there.

Baby was hesistant to gamble... but she was my lucky star. we started (actually we only play on 1 table) at the roulette... find the cheapest table (yours truly does not have a lot of money and have to settle for the min. RM5 bet table).. change the $$ and chuck 2 chips on the table just before the croupier stops all betting.

i like to see the croupier at work... perhaps it's one of my dream part time job when i was at uni.... their art of counting the money, spinning the wheels, giving out the cards, collect the chips and shoved them down a lil hole, stacking the winnings, etc... ah...

anyway, with lil money and not wanting to end my game in the 1st round, we (more like i) placed the bet on my lucky number 18 (does anyone wonder why i like 18?).. and on our anniversary date. i never really like to place the chip on the 1 number itself.. perhaps greedy, or perhaps being a bit sensible... if you place the chip on the number alone and win, you get 17x, if you place the chips at the corner, in between numbrs, at the end of the line, if the number comes up, you win only a smaller fraction.. but then again, you have more chances of winning if you place more than 1 number

After the croupier stops the game, i realised that we have 2 chips covering number 20 from both corners. i asked baby to pray that the ball falls on the number 20. guess what? IT DID! Dang, should have put the chip on 20 alone, but if i do that, that wouldn't have work.

next round, we have a lil more to play, we moved on to play with a bit more chips but keeping some in the pocket (the original cost). baby wants to place some bets on colour (baby chose red)... i chose a few numbers. colour was red... we won back whatever i lost on the numbers.

round 3, we decided to play on numbers rather than colour since they only pay 1x for the winnings. i gave baby 2 chips to place and i placed 2 chips on the numbers that i like. asked baby to place near my favourite number, perhaps baby got it mixed up or perhaps she was just blocked by the other gamblers.. when the croupier ends the bet, she managed to put the chip down somewhere.

best part was when the number came up, we were disappointed as non of our chips were at the right place... that is until when they wanted to give out the winning. mind you, we were holding cash chips and not those colour chips to identify yourself... and there was another lady playing with cash chips too. when the croupier wanted to give the winnings for 1 cash chip bet on the winning number, we weren't aware that it was our chips until all the other gamblers (including the other cash chip lady gambler pointing the winnings at us).

hahahha... my adreline rush was just starting to kick in when we got a message that our friends were done with their show. we had to make our way out of the casino...

Thank you UNCLE LIM and my lucky star....
