Isn't there a legendary degen thread somewhere around here?

I've seen people take out those moneytree loans and sell their valuables and go all in on black. One guy did it and lost so he grabbed the chips and bolted anyways. Never got caught. That's how you freeroll a casino.

I've heard of an interesting freeroll in baccarat, in games where they let you peel. I heard of one guy betting like $10K on banker, natural 8 for player. He didn't like what he had, so he ate his cards. There were many bets on player too, all fairly small bets($25-$100). Everyone had their bets returned, including the guy who bet $10k. He was banned for life.

I'd say Erica Schoenberg is doing one of the biggest poker degens ever.

I like that one

Maybe 15 odd years ago I read about some UK blue collar guy always dreaming of betting his entire net worth on RED. So he worked and saved his whole life for 150,000 quid .He persuaded the casino to remove/void one green and shipped it all in on RED

He won and walked away

Would love to know if he ever went back if not that some ice cold ****
