It was on a boring rainy day and i went to the casino,at that time there where no Holdem poker,but i was sitting down by the caribean studpoker,after looking a few hands i changed 150€ 140 to play and 10 for the bonus,each bonus play cost 0,50€ cent,when i had 460€ i thought last time i play 20 upfront and when u play u must put the double so 40 behind the 20,then the cards came: Heart K,Heart Q Heart A Heart 10,my HEARTBEAT getting harder n harder last card i saw a red J,i thought i have the jackpot,hope that the bank have atleast AK,thats 2000x40=80K+JACKPOT but that J was a DAIMOND,i had straight and the bank had nothing,so i got the 20 upfront x 1!

That would be a rush! I was playing roulette in Vegas and was up to about $540.00 . I started with $50 along with my buddy, but he was out. We were heading out the door and I stopped at another table where there was no one. I told my buddy I was putting it all on 0/00 split which would be at least $5,000.00 and change. He tells me no and we go back and forth. I end up playing red, just to try double up and lose it all to guess what 00. It's not all that much, but I bitchedd for, hell still to this day when we talk. lol

just like u GM, i went to Rama Casino in Ontario to see Chris Rock one time. There were 4 of us and after the show me and my buddy left the ladies in the room and snuck out for ice. Oddly we never found the ice but we did find the roulette tables
I only had 30$ on me and my friend only 5$, ballers i know. Well he was so wasted he just handed me his fortune and said make me money. I played the outside 12's with 20 on first 12 and 15 on second 12. First 12 came in so we had 60. I rinsed and repeated the process always moving from the 12 that hit to the 12 that wasnt bet and it was working.
At one point i was at 700$ and i my buddy says enough is enough. Im like to hell with you. heres 200$ im letting it ride. I then bet table max 5 straight times. After the first i was asked for my players card. Having none the pit boss gave me a few 40$ meal vouchers. the last two times i bet 1st 12 and each time some crazy asian came running over last minute and bet 250$ on 00. Both times the bastard won. I went busto and then we got the ladies and had a nice steak at 3am even though noone was hungry.

I have been to similar situations in a casino (not for the major jackpot, but for the fixed wins in big hands like 4 of a kind) when the freaking dealer doesnt qualify and you get nothing from the jackpots. Its a frustration
