I bet on Rocky movies

HB your stories on 2+2 should inspire a movie. Seriously.

I thought this was going to be about Archie Karas.

awful story

def is about this, OOT needs good yarns like this

solid story

I'm with Ray Powers... His story is OOTworthy and I enjoyed it.

Also, it was clear that his "alt" post was total sarcasm and not a mistake on his part.

However, your rage in this thread has been equally entertaining.

Some people need to get off the internet and go enjoy the outdoors. Good story HB.

You suck. Cool story op

Have you posted this before? I swear I'd heard this story before.

i just gambled with myself that no matter how terrible the op was, i wouldnt post a reply saying such

op you suck, that story was terrible

god dammit

jmakin shut the F up, that's howard beale you're talking to!

I was sure you were taking the safe to a massage parlor

I just went through the same progression. Mods change title to "Story about a degenerate that has no payoff and is only moderately amusing but not really"

meh i always enjoy a good degen story

5 years or so ago on RGP. And then there was a fellow who had developed a sort of wallet into which you could stick money but couldn't get it out (he obv. had the same thought process I did and came up w/ a product) who used it on his website as a sort of testimonial. I don't think his idea went anywhere.

To those who like my story: Thanks!

To those who don't: If you ever meet me ask to hear it live because it comes with arm and hand gestures and subtle facial expressions w/ well timed delivery that I'm sure will improve the experience.

I can beat Howard's story.

One time I was so desperate to gamble, I withdrew $300 on a credit card cash advance. It cost me like 7% in up-front fees, plus the juice immediately started running at 20%.

I was more animal than man.

i thought the story was good. when i was 16 i came home from school for lunch. i decided to play some AP blackjack to kill time. i started at $2-5 bets. somehow i eventually ended up losing 1k. the last hand being me doubling a $200 bet with an 11 and losing.

i didn't go back to school that day.

An old friend hit the "big" time in LA a few years back. I flew out to visit and do some baller parties. One thing led to another and we are on the road to Vegas.

Before the valet has the car parked he is down 50K, by midnight down 100K all on credit. Finally as the sun comes up he is a few dimes in the black. All the money came back within about 6 insane hands of BJ.

We hit the hay and he hands me a 100K with instructions not to give it back no matter what happen. He said he had to payoff the markers before we left town in the morning, which mean after a few hours of sleep.

I wake up to him turning the room upside down. I ask him WTF is going on. He wants his money right NOW, and by the look in his eyes I know he is serious. I say Dude, you asked me to hold the cash until you could pay off the markers. I gone on to say, I could tell that while you were down it was some really bad ****. We have been friends for a long time and I didn't want to see him get hurt. He doesn't say a word and walks out of the room.

After a few minutes when I am just starting to drift off again to sleep the door flies open violently and scare the absolute crap out of me. I am sure I screamed like a little girl because the only thing I see a ****ing gun shoved in my face. My friend easily persuades me to hand over his money.

I am now fully awake, pack my bags and take a cab to the airport. That was seven years ago and I have not seen or spoke to the guy since.

as someone who has lost 5 figures on BJ twice (god I'm dumb), I approve!

Good story, OP. Did you ever go back and try to buy a safe that you couldn't just drill through?

I think OP is getting heat because of the misleading title. if he had written sickest DEGENERATE story of all time, all would be well. I came in here expecting to read about playing russian roulette for a sick amount of money

In comparison to Didsrage, I find Jmakinrage incredibly lacking in complexity and depth.

u can do better
