As it turns out today gambling hit an all time new low with my current manager betting a fiver on the chance of a client returning a call and sending a order back in the space of an hour. A simple fiver turns out to be more important than pride and if it was me i wouldn’t even bother claiming the winnings i would simply call in a favour at a later date as you can turn a fiver into more than that with a favour. I would probably choose a couple of sandwiches or 2 pints of Stella as it has gone up in the past month and it equates to at least six quid.

So this weekends gambling exploits involved, trying to turn £2 into a minimum of £35 in 4 feeble pushes of a flashing button and playing killer pool for a pot of £20 which turned out to be fun but disappointing as i spent 3 hours playing, getting to the final table with over whelming drunk odds and 3 lives compared to my opponents 1, and instead of playing sensible and winning, i decided to play normally and lost. So the weekends gambling did not go well. I’m planning a comeback mid week with the idea of a small bet on the lottery, the stupid mans tax!! A wasted gamble in my eyes but the if my numbers came up i would be heart broken if i didn’t play.

This month the Golden Nugget are hosting ‘What’s the Deal’.

Blackjack and poker tournaments with a prize pool totaling $80,000 will be held at the Vegas casino between the 25th and 27th of April.

Each tournament has prizes of $20,000 for the winner.

Making the final table of both tournaments will enable the lucky punters to gain $5,000 of freeplay for table games and slots and winning both tournaments will gain a whopping $10,000!

Me, I’m gutted as I am not going now until May
