Took huge hit at Vegas. How do you recover?

[Mufasa]

god damn lost 1/3 of my money overall. I'm 26, single, have a good job, and have no huge obligations but shit I'm depressed.

Help.

Win it back at the track.

 

[EJAXXX]

Have a few kids so you don't have the money to do that in the first place.

 

[trolololol]

I got trick rolled on my first night in Vegas if it makes you feel any better.

Shit happens. Take the opportunity to use what happened as a lesson.

 

[EJAXXX]

Or start cooking meth..

What did you play?

How much did you actually lose

 

[pinger]

All-in on black 8

Well if you didn't take a huge hit financially, cut you loses and do something different. Hit up the clubs and the other spots. Find some female to help you forget about it.

Here's a tip:

If you're playing blackjack, never play at the Strip. Bunch of fucking dumb tourists who can't play for shit are there. You wanna go to Old Vegas, like Fremont Street or California Casino, where the latter has $5 minimum for no-peek double deck. Or go where all the locals play: Stations Casinos e.g. Sunset Station or Green Valley Ranch.

Oh, and another thing: always split 8's and Aces. Always hit on 16's if the dealer's upcard is 7 or above. Know when to double down on your soft hands. And for the love of Jebus, never split faces or 10. That's fucking retarded.

Always bet on the Spurs to cover the spread. They've been winging it hard this year.

No expenses? Suck it up. Learn from it and move on.

 

[lakersfan45]

You must win it back

 

[IndyCovaHart]

Next time you're in Vegas just enjoy the architecture and live entertainment and leave the gambling to the big boys.

 

[Supereem]

Time machine.

 

[CatchOmega]

You still have 2/3 of your money left. Double up.

 

[trolololol]

I'd like to hear more about this...

I posted about this not too long ago in the "Tell Me Your Secrets" thread, I'll quote it and add some more details.
I was down in Vegas for UFC 181 and meeting my friend from Riverside, California. When we arrived on Friday we headed straight for The Stratosphere. After that I pounded a few drinks, then we headed to the Hard Rock, where I pounded more drinks:

I got trick rolled in Las Vegas. Got way too drunk and got robbed of $400 during my 10 second hand job before she booted me out of her car. Didn't even think I was robbed until my friends told me to check my wallet.

UFC was fun though lol.

I don't gamble, I'm too poor.

Never bankroll what you can't afford to lose, and the losses shouldn't hurt as much - sometimes you are going to lose, so always be prepared for it. If losing 1/3 of your money is depressing the shit out of you, don't bankroll 1/3 of your money.

Save back up a bankroll if gambling is you thing and take the time to learn/master your game inside out, if this loss is going to hit you financially, don't make the same mistake of taking 1/3 of your money.

Go back and lose the the other 2/3

Or move on with your life

Just get really drunk and high and marry a hooker. It'll help you forget
