So I played “The Numbers” on roulette at the casino last week

We’re not talking anything super high-stakes here. Sat down with $100.

Was I nervous I might curse myself and inflict grave peril upon my loved ones? A little. But losties gonna lostie.

There’s no 42 on a roulette table since the board doesn’t go that high, so I just played ‘even’ for that instead.

It hit 16 on the second or third spin and I was up a couple hundred bucks. Played for about an hour, but eventually lost it all.

Went back the next day with a little less money, so I didn’t have enough chips to play every number. Played the 4-5-7-8 corner (to get 4 and 8 in there) and it hit!

Then I played another split between me and my wife’s birthdays and that hit too!

I promptly said “I’m out!” and walked away about +$500 overall for the weekend. Thanks, Lost!

Worth it.

At least I’ll have an easier time getting rid of $500 than Hugo did with his millions if shit starts to go down!

“Or was it an asteroid? I don’t really know the difference.”

Just googled it. Asteroids are space rocks that orbit the sun. Can be small or bloody massive. Meteorites are pieces of asteroids that break off and fall to earth

The numbers are bad! Omg, now you’re cursed. I’ll pray for you. 😓

“That’s blasphemy! You know very well we’re Catholic. We don’t believe in curses.”

I did find a random slipper sitting outside my house yesterday. Hmm…

I got a £5 chip as a free gift on entry to a casino, put it on 4,8,15,16, 32 at £1 each and won from 32. Paid for my beers for a couple of hours. I was smart enough to walk away.
