old high school friends. I don't bet big, but one year as we were leaving the Las Vegas Club, one friend dared me to make a $100 bet at Blackjack. Ever the adventurer (read: stupid), I put my $100 down and was promptly dealt 2-eights against the dealer's six. Had to split, of course and first card out was a three...double down??? You betcha!! Except I didn't have the money so I borrowed from the person that instigated the whole thing. Needless to say, I was dealt CR#P and was hoping for the dealer's bust. Hole card is a five and I'm %!$$ed-off!! Dealer pulls a small card then busts...a nice, tidy $300 win (and I never did that again!! ). Steve B
