Well, we just had some guests over at our home, and since its still during the Chinese New Year period we ended up with the routine - you guessed it - blackjack gambling. My luck was insanely good, and even though I was betting just a couple of bucks each round I got THREE blackjacks (my first hand was a blackjack too) and didn't bust even a single time for most of the first part. In fact, I was so lucky that I got worried and quickly stopped playing once it seemed my luck was beginning to falter. 风水轮流转, y'know. Didn't want to lose it all back after that incredible winning streak. I think the luck was spread around the table though, since there were quite a few double aces as well. Usually you'd be considered lucky if you even saw one or two double aces throughout the game - I myself have only ever gotten it once too. Poor banker. So I ended up with about 15 or 20 bucks in winnings. Could've been more, but let's not be too greedy. On the flip side though, my dad lost 60+ bucks. :( Of course, gambling's mainly just a once-a-year event for fun, but I guess I wouldn't mind winning some extra pocket money on the side as well. ;) And thus wraps up the CNY celebrations for this year. Not a bad start, I gotta admit. Now if only I got the same luck with the CT groupings... |
