My Biggest blackjack Win
When one is lucky and running lucky, one can do no wrong and suffer no loss! … We keep telling him that the law of probabilities will eventually grind him out. And he laughs at us as he counts his winnings."
This from the July 1, 1969, issue of The High Roller, the much-respected, now regrettably defunct gambling newsletter of the 1960s. Looking back at what was written about me thirty years ago, I can only concur with the editor, on both counts.
Checking over the score card now, I shudder at my foolhardy onslaught on the Las Vegas casinos. As they say in the crude vernacular, I must have stepped in shit to have run rampant through the casinos in a nonstop, three-day rampage. Amazingly, I got back on the plane safely with $31,125 of their money.
Not only did I consistently win in casino after casino, but I ducked in and out of the same casino multiple times,- jour times in the case of the Sahara!
And I did it all on craps, a game I rarely play these days.
Looking back at it all now, in the cold light of July, 2000, I can attribute it either to youthful naivete or temporary madness.
Examine my scorecard, along with the story about me and my win in The High Roller, which I reprint in its entirety. As the editor wanted to protect my privacy he dubbed me "Lucky Pierre." The facts are true,- only the name was changed to protect the player. (With the wild roller coaster ride I foolishly went on in my helter-skelter three-day casino spree, the editor should have dubbed me "Reckless Pierre.")
I include this curious and aberrant episode as a warning to the reader to avoid such wild and reckless forays. Sure, I challenged the dragon and slew him, but if you foolishly follow in my footsteps, I guarantee the dragon will chew on your ass for dinner.
Postscript: In a subsequent issue, The High Roller scolded me for returning to casinos where I'd been unlucky and losing.
"[He] finds a casino where [he] does good, and wins their money. [Then he] finds a casino where [he's] consistently unlucky, where [he] can't even win a slab of gum from the penny gum machine. Instead of taking the lucky casino for everything [he] can, [he] wins big there, and then goes to the unlucky place and drops it."
Thank you, Mr. Editor. I subsequently took your sage advice and profited from the information.
I hope you will profit from this savvy gambling tip, too.
