reminded me of an old mate at a pub tab that used to double down on keno heads or tails until he won or went broke, plenty of times they would pay him the $1000 win by cheque even though almost all of that $1000 was the money he had just used to double down!

would call out the manager each time & go through the same rigmarole, security reasons blah blah they dont pay cash above certain limits.

i would just sit there drink my beer & laugh at em all.
