Me too.
I think you will find very few, if any. Everyone talks about hearing of a guy or knows someone who once, but I have never heard of anyone themselves getting in any sort of trouble outside of the normal, everyday trouble that you find in any big city.
Since purplebliss isn't taking the trollbait, let me just point out that I'm a 30/60 reg, which is why I can say with some confidence that many regs are pussies. They're sheltered upper and uppermiddle class professionals who have never walked around Union Square after dark and hence have no concept of what is generally dangerous and what is specifically dangerous.
Absolutely don't stand outside the Oaks and count $3,000 in cash where the Black & White patrons can see you. Absolutely don't walk to BART half-drunk at midnight, no matter how much cash you have on you. Also don't do it at Cal Grand or Lucky Chances or Palace either. Also don't do it at Union Square or Jack London Square after dark either.
Leave your Pokerstars hoodie at home when you ride the BART, and nobody knows whether you're heAded to the Oaks for high stakes gambol or to Bay Street to whack off in the Barnes & Noble bathroom. Turn off the gd iPod and pay attention to your surroundings wherever you walk. Make a few unusual turns when driving home to see if you're being followed. Do this ALL the time if you live in a major urban area.
