That's super terrible news, please let there be some decent person find that phone

I literally only come to this section to read this thread, I almost feel like the current life stuff is somehow better than the historical degen, which didn't even seem possible

Dang, I really hope you get your phone back. BTW, if there is a chance you left the phone in your hotel room, then you could try calling housekeeping and asking them if anyone retrieved the phone. Usually, they keep those items in a 'lost and found' area and most hotels are willing to mail such items back to you (at least the Wyndham did a while back when I left a pair of shoes in the room).

Let me know if the Atlantic city trip comes back on. Harrah's sends me free room offers every month so planning a visit in September and October.

OP, excellent thread. I'm still in the process of finishing everything you have written here from the beginning. I'm glad to see you are still alive, not incarcerated and still gambling. Please keep updating this thread with more stories of your adventures, even the ones that are more tame.

How did things go at MGM?

I have a close friend that I don't want to give up his name for this story, so we will refer to him as Ocean. Ocean loves to gamble. He has never been a big poker player. Action is too slow for him. He loves table games and even plays high denomination slots. But his true love is sports betting. There's not a sport he don't like to bet. He does have an above average knowledge of sports and can pick winners pretty well. Again he LOVES action. So betting straight games isn't for him. I mean he does it sometimes and prefers to bet a huge dog money line. He will search for a +1000 boxer or a +900 tennis player. Aside from that he is the parlay king. He will do a parlay from 3 teams to 10 teams. As many of us know the house has a huge edge on parlays. The thing with him is, he's that guy you know who always misses his parlay by one game. Which keeps the hope alive. Don't get me wrong, he has won some pretty decent chunks some weeks. I've seen him win $35k+. Those are the weeks he nails his 5 teamers. I've honestly seen him miss 9 team dog parlays by one game. Like a $50 bet to win $60k. He definately has come close a few times. With that said, over the haul he is down. He has gone weeks straight losing $10-$15k a week. I happened to be a first hand witness to one of these downswings.

So Ocean just kept losing and losing. Week after week. Ocean makes pretty good money doing Ocean like things. He also makes pretty decent gambling scores every now and then. For example a $16k slot win on a $50 a spin machine. But all Ocean's side business and gambling payouts couldn't withstand this brutal downswing of busted parlays. It got to the point where he had to be shut off. Ocean is a man of his word and when he owes money he pays it. There's not too many guys like him around in the gambling world, or even the real world for that matter. Most would duck a $30k+ sports debt if they didn't have it. I mean, it wasn't a loan, it was a wager on a sporting event. Anyhow the pressure was on.

So I get a call from Ocean and he tells me he has a plan to get the money. He says he needs me and a couple extra guys. I guess he had a contact who had a contact a state away for bulk marijuana. He had asked his local contact to link him up with the out of state guy. He says he had already met the out of state guy briefly and has his # now. I'm sure you all can see where this is going. He's arranging a sale of 20 pounds of high grade marijuana at $3k a pound, and there's a $10k cut for me. I wasn't sure of the exact details but in the meantime I contacted a couple of my go to guys. So I briefly tell my

guys what's going on and tell them I'm going to need them for the night and offer them 20 grams of blow each. I say it's $50 a gram, so their each making $1k. The nice part there is I'm actually giving them like $240 each at my cost. They're in and Ocean has us meet him at a local McDonald's to discuss details. He made sure to never let my guys know how much we were grabbing. Didn't want greed to set in. Ocean wants to meet at a hotel and violently rob these guys in the room or parking lot. But after some background info and hearing them talk on speakerphone, I had a better plan.

My plan was to go to the casino and book a room there. The contact he was meeting was very passive and hippie like. There was absolutely no need for aggression. The casino makes everyone feel safe as far as violence and being robbed goes. The idea was to leave his car parked in the parking garage and have a fake spare key. He was then suppose to wine and dine the contact in the casino and lounge. Take him to the suite and flash money around to make the contact feel comfortable. His story was that he was also timid and worried about being robbed. That this was his safety plan so he doesn't get robbed. He wants the contact to drop the weed in his car and he will give the contact his car key to hold until they count out the payment in the room. He also gives the contact a room key. Once it's dropped we are waiting in another car and I'm hopping in Ocean's car with one guy while the other guy drives around to a different exit of the casino. We are leaving with the product and Ocean is making a run for the exit on the walk back to the hotel room.

Now all four of us arrive early. We have a couple drinks and dick around on slots trying to kill time until the contact arrives. He finally calls Ocean's phone and says he is there. So we stake out in the parking lot. Seems like 2 hours go by while he is wining and dining the guy. Ocean and the contact are finally on the same page. They go to the contacts car and drive over to Ocean's car. At this point we were listening to their conversation through Ocean's phone being left on a call with me. We could make out that they were doing the drop. They then went back into the casino. So we swooped in. Right on time there was 2 luggage bags in the back seat and you could smell the bud. We were off. My guy who was waiting for Ocean said he wasn't coming out. So I'm calling his phone over and over wondering whats going on. I get a text back from him because he doesn't want to talk in front of him. He says he's waiting on more. That there was only 10 pounds in the car. We had the car off site by now and was like WTF. It's 10 pounds let's go. The 10 pounds are going to get pieced out for $4k, so we are talking $40k. But that isn't good enough for Ocean. He demands I put his car back and leave the weed in there because he does not want his contact to think anything is suspicious. After many texts trying to change his mind I give in.

So I bring the car back and take 3 pounds out of the luggage bags and throw them in my car. I put everything back the way it was supposed to be and drove off. I wasn't letting Ocean screw me up on my cut. So I text him and tell him the car is back. I guess in the meantime him and the hippie contact had tried going to the car and it wasn't there. This kid was so shot that Ocean made him believe they were in the wrong garage. Even after the kid said it looks like his car parked next to where Ocean's car is suppose to be. He ended up walking him through the casino and out another exit to the same garage. But now the car was there. They checked on everything and went back inside. Supposedly they were waiting on a grower who had another 10. Ocean and the contact had went to the hotel room of the grower. They spent hours drinking and smoking trying to get a feel for each other all while we waited to make the getaway again. I think Ocean was getting drunk and I kept texting him and calling to see WTF was taking so long. He would answer sometimes and pretend I was his girlfriend and kind of talk to me in code. The grower eventually leaves the room and says he is going to grab the 10 pounds for him. 45 minutes go by and Ocean says he felt uncomfortable, like something wasn't right. He ends up leaving the room and making a run for it himself to his car. He gets away and has to come grab me because I was waiting inside the casino in case anything went wrong. He does and is definitely drunk. We met the other guys and they follow us home. The whole ride he ignores phone calls from the contact and complains about not getting 20 pounds. He had his heart set on that $80k score but had to settle for 7 pounds after my cut.

We get home and I drop my guys off and take my cut home. Next afternoon I got a buddy stop by to grab the weed to get rid of. I get a phone call from Ocean saying there is a car with 2 guys sitting out front his house and he needs my help. I throw on sneakers and get in my car. I start making phone calls and pick up one of the guys from the night before. He is an MMA fighter and loves to fight BTW. This kid wasn't suppose to know where Ocean lived. So I tell him to just keep driving while the car tails him and I'm going to have him meet us. I make more phone calls and arrange to have some acquaintances who live in the bad section to be at one of their spots. I have Ocean go there and were kind of pulling up at the same time. The kids I know are all coming out the house. The car that was tailing him pulls up on the side of him and not seeing my friend and I coming from the other side. Its broad daylight out and my friend has a Michael Myers mask on. The kids in the car see everyone coming out the house and start to pull off. At that point I run up to smash the drivers side window but fail as they swerve off. Turns out this was his local contact and he just wanted to talk to Ocean about what happened. He couldn't call Ocean's because he had changed his #. I guess the out of state contact was threatening him and wanted to know where Ocean lived. This instance was enough to scare the local guy in to keeping his mouth shut. He actually owed Ocean money on the side and still paid it on top of all this.

Never heard anything again about retaliation. It was over and done with. Ocean got rid of his stuff and paid his debt. The crazy thing about Ocean was he was so set on getting 20 pounds he felt like he took a loss. He called me a week after an said he has been trying to figure out a way to get the rest from the kid. I told him he was crazy. He then told me his idea of calling the contact and claiming his "evil" twin brother was the one who robbed him and that he wanted to make good on the situation. That he was going to bring the money for the 10 his twin brother took and money for 10 more. I then
told him he was delusion-ally insane and needed help. Ocean still fires as I write this, hoping to spike a big parlay.

Side Note - The whole time this went on I was not suppose to be at the casino from a prior ejection.

Definitely in a league of his own.

Poker Jay is the most reliable person in your orbit. I know you have mentioned others as being your go-to guy. But Doc doesn't strike me as the type to be around for the majority of these sheenanigans. Seems like Doc either wants an organized, sober, coherent score or count him out. The traits that make him dependable are the same traits I bet would make him steer away for a lot of these adventures. And who was that gay prostitute/exotic dancer? Poker Steve? I mean seriously, asking for $20 after he was up from money the trip from what you staked him, on top of the comp'd suites (which came because of your casino losses) on top of the meals. That is sheisty. I would never turn your back on a stack of money around that guy.

But Poker Jay has to be your most dependable guy, at least from the stories you've written so far. He has never stolen from you, despite having ample opportunity to. He also has the most honest and straightforward relationship with you. $100 stake at the beginning of the night, depending on how the night goes, maybe another $100 at the end in return he is your chauffeur for the trip. He's not pretending to be your best friend, he's not trying to take your money, he's not trying to become you. Like a bum that doesn't want food but just wants $1, all he wants is $100 and in return he will drive and carry your bags and stay up and drink with you. Straight up.

It kinda seems like your surrounded by a bunch of people feeding off you. You should read Out of Sight. Your stories are straight out of an Elmore Leonard novel. Except the characters knew what was coming, and were just enjoying their time till it came. I hope you are still well enough to read this. I am years late to the party and am only on the 12th page of the thread. Great reading material to read while I'm bored at work.

In the last story we left off with with my buddy moving on from an armed home invasion that I was present for. I have been shot at in the past during random foolishness. But this was my first encounter with this type of situation. I also have been home for a random break-in. The kid/rookie burglar didn't think anyone was home at 10am because no cars were in the driveway and I didn't answer the door because I was asleep. Once I heard my door being crow-bared open, I did get up and scare the kid off. As far as being personally robbed, I have had theft situations with girls that I have written about in previous stories. Maybe some minor petty thefts with guys over the many years. I have never actually been held up for anything or physically robbed though. Nobody has ever tried this with me. I feel it is either because they know I am the type that likes to get even or they like/respect me. People have jerked me on debts, but I have probably recovered 97% of all debts. Even if I had to make someone rake my yard or build a shed for me, to satisfy the debt. But I never expected to become a target.

A little over a month after the incident at 420's apartment I was at the casino for a few days with Poker Jay. I had a good time drinking and gambling. I was actually doing well every day and covering all costs. Hotel,drinks,tipping,food, etc. I lent out money to about 4 friends. But I busted the $5k I had on me the day before I left. Oh well, I was driving home on Monday with Poker Jay and I dropped him off. I ended up bringing my girl to visit some friend in her hometown. I decided to just go have dinner at my mom's until she was done. I do visit my mother's often and this is the house I lived in from 13-21. I had met my girl here and she actually lived right down the street from. Made for some funny girl next door moments. Now that I'm thinking about it, I figure I'll tell a quick one.

We were sort of dating the summer of 2003 and I would be out all night partying. If I didn't find any girls out, I would just pull over and park at the bottom of my street on the way home. I would sneak in through her first floor window and smash her. She was 17 and had a stricter curfew than I did as a 19 year old. So she was always there. Worked out perfect for me. After I got done I would usually sneak back out the window and go home. But this one night I was so drunk, I passed out and she couldn't get me up to go home. Then I awoke when I heard her house up and her mother calling her for breakfast. I was like OMG, I need to get the **** out of here. The sunlight was pouring in and I was only in my boxers. She told me to be quiet and that she would let me know when to sneak out. I heard her mother coming down the hallway so I jumped up and hid behind a dresser. Her mother opened the door, telling her again about breakfast. My girl followed her out and I thought the coast was clear when the mother didn't see me. But then I heard the door open again. I'm standing there hiding and her ****ing dog is sniffing me. I hear the mother yelling "Mika!" for the dog to come, but she doesn't. I try to shoo the dog away and fail. The mother comes into the room to get the dog and reaches for the collar then noticing me standing there in complete embarrassment wearing only boxers. It was very awkward and her mother just said "Hello Jon". She had met me a few times, and was a earth crunchy kind of woman. As she was in the middle of asking me what I was doing, my girl interrupted and said I was drunk and lost my house keys last night. That I couldn't get in. The whole moment was priceless. The mom said "Well that's a shame, would you like breakfast?" I declined and got the hell out of there.

Alright back to the real story. I finish dinner and decide I'm going to catch up on some Netflix on the PS4, in the game room upstairs on the 2nd floor. This is actually my old bedroom, the one in the slap a snatch video. But has been converted into a sort of extra family room with all the game systems. I just empty my pockets and lay down on the couch waiting for my girl to call me while resuming the Breaking Bad series.

Everything is quiet. My step-sister who lives there is at work and my mom and step-dad are in the basement family room watching TV. An hour has gone by when all of a sudden I hear a violent smashing coming from downstairs. This was not something normal and kept repeating. I initially jump up and think it has to be the police. I had been raided by the police when I was 20 and still living at my mother's. So this was a somewhat reminder of that time. But that is a whole different story. I head down the stairs to confirm if my suspicion is correct. I start to realize it's not the police with the way the banging was going on. I stood and hid behind a wall until whoever it was entered. Within 3 more bangs they were in. I could hear my step-father yelling from the basement "What's going on up there!" I could see 2 masked guys with guns cutting through the kitchen to the basement door through a mirror reflection on a huge hutch. They couldn't see me and opened the door yelling for them to get on the ground. This was a perfect time to be armed. They would of had no shot with the way my mother's house is laid out. But I wasn't and had to think fast and resort to calling the police for help. I could here them yelling at my step-dad about where the money is. They were definitely Spanish from their voices. Young too. It was almost de-javu of the incident with 420. I could here my mom saying "What are you talking about?" I tried to quietly creep over and grab the house phone while they were down the stairs. I had left my cell-phone upstairs when I emptied my pockets and layed on the couch. They heard me grabbing the phone which was probably best case scenario. It made them leave my parents alone. I heard one of them say "I think someone is upstairs!" I just grabbed the phone and bolted out a side door to call the cops. They both left my parents downstairs and went to the first floor to find me. I could see into the house through windows and a slider. My parents then took that opportunity to flee out a basement exit. That's a problem with trying to rob my parents house. The lay-out isn't normal and there is like 7 exits. One of the kids went outside to look for me. My parents were already knocking on the neighbors door for help. The kid who went outside looking for me realized he should probably split and ran to the getaway car. I am the phone with 911 this whole time giving updates. The other idiot went upstairs to the 2nd floor when he seen the light I left on. He grabbed a necklace and watch I had taken off and sat on the coffee table earlier. He tried getting out a door that never gets used and had no success. I waited for him to come running out and followed him while still telling 911 where to go. They had a getaway car parked a street over with a driver. The cops already had that street blocked off and stopped the car I described.

I ran over to meet my parents at the neighbors and make sure they were okay. They were never touched but my step-dad did hand over like $80 from his pocket when they asked for money. The police secured the scene, then the detectives showed up. From the ages of 15-21 I was kind of a terror in that town, so I was well known. Right away the detective says "Hey were not looking to bust you for anything, but why did this happen?" I told him I wasn't sure and it 100% wasn't drugs. I told him it must have been just for money. He was a bit skeptical, but I wasn't lying. I was very confused myself. Anyone who actually knows me would never try this. Especially in this town and if they knew the layout of my mother's house. I kept thinking it was possibly linked to 420's incident. But couldn't connect. My girl finally showed up and was in shock.

The cops came back and said they have 3 guys and wanted our statements. I went down to the police station and gave mine to the detective. I honestly couldn't figure this out. I had seen the guys in a line-up that night and never seen them prior to this night. They were much younger then me and no names rang a bell. They were clearly not familiar with the house lay-out because alot of the early banging was an unsuccesful attempt to enter through an un-used door. The ******ed get-away driver was actually wearing a GPS bracelet from a prior gun charge he was out on bail for. I racked my brain and met with the police the next day to pick up my chain and watch that was recovered. I guess one of the kids had talked under questioning. I don't want to give away to many details because the case is still ongoing. But there were 2 more white kids at the scene in a different car. The kid who arranged all of this is a low-life, pathetic, dope head, scrub, punk. I had never met this loser before in my life. But after quick research of my own I was told from every source he was a total scumbag base head. Apparently he had intel from somewhere about me. That I keep my cash at my mother's house and am never there. That there was a minimum of $60k of poker winnings. He got 3 idiots to sign-up for this job and let them go in blind. He intended on splitting the money with them and part ways.

As far as his intel I am still not sure who gave him it. Hope to eventually find out. I can understand why people would have this intel. I am generally a cash kind of guy and many people know this. I have also had people I trusted pick up money from there a least a couple dozen times over the years. Mostly for them to bring down to the casino to me when I bust what I have on me. I have had future addicts/junkies around me at the casino and over hear my conversations about these pick-ups. Also some past friends that turned into dope-heads that knew alot about me. Also the night it happened, I had a rental SUV. So a car I would be known for wasn't at the house.

So the personal hunt was on for this piece of ****. I would have rather have someone rob me in the street like a man or set me up than go into my mother's house. I staked out a crack house he supposedly frequents. His parents, and mostly his kid's mothers house where his children are. No luck anywhere. Turns out he was already in jail on an un-related charge he knew he was going in for right after the home-invasion. He was in a different county and was probably the safest place for him. This coward even got his children's mother arrested for sneaking him in heroin on a visit to get his fix.

They are all awaiting trial and in Mass the minimum mandatory for Home-Invasion is 20 years, up to life. I hope these scumbags get the max, but will settle for the minimum. I feel really bad about my parents having to go through this. But luckily I was there and it ended with the 2nd best case scenario. Nobody getting hurt, nothing getting stolen, and suspects arrested. Best case was obviously to exercise "Castle Laws".

So to sum it up, I had been in 2 armed home invasions within a month of each other. Where the people who attacked did not know me. I was able to escape with only a bump from one and had nothing stolen. Either way the whole situation is crazy and just another chapter in my life of degeneracy.

I had been banging a friend of hers that would come over, she was drunk and I told her I started the shower, to meet me in there. I knew Nikki was showering and the friend was drunk enough to go in there. Plus it would piss Nikki off.

IMO it would be absolutely ridiculous to try and prosecute any of these cold cases solely based off an internet thread. Doubt it is admissible, more along the lines of hear-say. But if I was to be found guilty in a court of law about anything I have shared, that would make for another great story

Hoping to make an A.C. venture soon. Will def meet up for some degenigans.

They have been planning a MGM casino in Springfield for quite some time now. I will believe it once I see construction started.

Hahahaha that ***** looks crazy.
Good take, but she is nowhere near hot enough to justify counterfeit bills and simultaneous trouble with a local mafia and the Secret Service lol

I know there still a few of you left wondering if I'm dead, locked up, busto, or turning tricks with Strip Poker Steve. Fortunately for me, I'm still evading all of the above.

Looks like my last update was in August about the phone I lost. It had so many visual gems on it. Some of you sent your prayers for a safe return of that device. Sadly it was never recovered.

My last story was left off in November of 2016. So it was kind of a let down to be missing evidence to continue with the story. On top of that I was getting a lot of fuss from my significant other about my blatant disregard of her wishes to stop sharing my experiences here. Totally understandable. I would be livid if she was on some site blogging about blowing her paycheck at the local slot parlor while swigging a flask of Fireball. Then end up in the parking lot getting a train ran on her by a couple low-rollers in the back of a Suburban. Just to kill time till midnight when her ATM daily limit is reset. All while documenting the escapade with her camera phone.

So I tried to negotiate with her about the situation. She was more concerned with people in our lives finding this thread. Being that you could google my name and find this thread, I suggested that I would get this digital journey cleaned up a bit. Remove any posts with my real name, remove pictures of myself, etc. I was definitely going to leave the bulk of the thread here, including all photos of featured characters. So I reached out to the mods here and requested the editing privileges for only my threads. I've done this in the past for other reasons, like upgrading the journey. Uploading pics and videos that had been removed, improving stories with editing or whatever it may be. I was denied then like I was denied this time around. So frustrating when you put so much work into this over time. You would think my tiny wish would be granted. Plus it would make for a better thread and more motivation to myself to upgrade the quality. So Fk U Decision Maker!

Anyway I decided I would check in since I'm back up North for the holidays and it's freezing outside. Everything is good with me. I'm still traveling between here and Orlando. It's been a little over a year from where I left off, but it's been Degentful. I have so many stories I would love to share, but it takes so much time to write them. Plus so many new pics and videos. Also was able to get back some of the missing evidence through prior texts to other phones.

In other news, I'm back into Mohegan finally!! Made a nice score on the 20-18 corner in roulette. All my comps are back, so I'm living the Suite Life again.

Spoiler:

I won't be back to Orlando till March. May find some time to write in the meantime, but no promises. Also have to say I ***** love Orlando with a passion. Wish I found it years ago. Life is good down there.

Not to forget, I had enough of BMW's. But I still have a thing for Black on Black flagships. Off'd the the 2008 760Li for this beautiful 2013 Jaguar XJL Supersport(520HP). I bought it from a private owner without even seeing it. But when it arrived, it was mint like promised.
