Back a couple of years ago I was at Foxwoods Resort and Casino with wife and her parents. They’re great folks; he’s a doctor and she’s a nurse, they’re generous and they love to have a good time. And their definition of “a good time” generally involves great food and either a craps or a blackjack table.
As you can see, this is a story of sorts at the Foxwoods in New York and how I got my 19 inch monitor for free. The dinner went well, but the gambling not so much. We bounced from blackjack table to blackjack table for several hours. Nobody could get a run going, with my father-in-law in particular taking it on the chin time after time. His response in these situations is always the same: press his bets harder and try to change the luck of the whole table. It only rarely works.
So at the end of the night – about 2 am or so – we were all heading back to our rooms when I passed a $10 blackjack table. “What the hell?” I thought, and started playing. The rest of the family joined me.
