Wife the High Roller
My wife and I celebrated our 6th anniversary this weekend and decided to stay at Harrahs for the occasion. Oddly,I did not feel up for gambling as I gamble everyday, so I got a kick out of watching her play the penny slots. She got excited and bummed just like you would imagine while playing slots. All the while she would tell me to put a dollar in and play, so I would. I wound up only playing when she would "make me". Every time it seemed I would double the dollar she handed me. Finally, I thought if I lost what we budgeted to gamble with, we would go back to our room. My first thought... Roulette! So I bet all of my half on black and of course it was red. I didn't really care. She went back to the slots for another run at it. By the end of the night, I was getting pretty tired and only watching her. She was about even, but went on a downhill slide on a "Gone Fishin'" slot machine that took her down to half her "bankroll". She was pretty bummed, but I talked her into betting what was left on the pass line in craps. She was hesitant and said she didn't know how to play craps. I told her she didn't have to know how, just bet it all on the passline, roll the dice and they will either give you chips or take them away. She doubled up twice in a row before leaving the table and then said, "Let's bet it on that wheel game." Again, I didn't care because I was definitely ready for some anniversary lovin. She put all of her chips on black and the wheel stopped on 32B doubling her up yet again. My wife, not being much of a gambler took her winnings to the cashier. She was giddy as a kid and said, "Did you get my picture rolling the dice?" She won all of the money, but somehow I feel like the big winner of the night.
