(In fact, if you count the zero, the odds are against him...) I know someone will say entering a relationship/marriage etc., with a TG fits into the above category, but it's not the same, you can always bail out, just like any other relationship. And anyway, love defies all logic/rules... SLH said:Mind you I've heard an even stranger one about some bloke who spent so much money flying to Thailand to shag whores that he's crippled by debt. I'd never let that happen to me. Fair comment, but I bet this bloke took longer to lose his money, and had a hell of a lot more fun doing it. And he could have stopped before he lost it all, couldn't he? I stand by my previous comment. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLeakHunt Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 I'm not entirely sure if this guy is doing it as a PR/Publicity stunt. Maybe after it's happened (win or loose) he could get a publishing deal for a book. "My life and how I wanked away my savings in one go" Altough I was being a bit faceteous when I mentioned the guy going to Thailand, they are both operating under what psychologists call an "arousal", not the sort you get in you're trousers but a neuroligical sensation you get when the option of doing something that may cause you immense grief but sounds like fun, is presented to you. Your endorphines or whatever start raging like fuck and you go heltersketering into the stupidest situation in the world because it sounds like a good wheese, and although he may well loose he'll be on a very high high (of sorts) when he does. I've done a lot of Silly things in my life because of the "arousal" they've given me and don't regret a single one, some people are genetically predispossed to seek thrills to a greater extent than others. I will admit, that gambling is one of the very few vices I have never had. I've met one or two very heavy gamblers, and they are definitely a breed apart. When you meet them there's an air they give off, and someone tells you they're a gambler and it all fits into place. They often appear to be very good at weighing people up. Cheers That's a bit involved for me. Do you think he'll do a brass up the shitter if he wins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLeakHunt Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 As an afterthought if he's got a good PR Agent and can et himself interviewed on 20 prime time TV shows worldwide he could probably make that money back in a month or so.

Guest lazyphil Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 My guess is he was putting his money on just this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.. Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 "Revell, recently a professional gambler, " Obviously not a very good one, since roulette is prolly the worst bet in the casino!!!! "I'm still trying to figure out how many ST's lost if he loses... " GBP75K = THB 5,326,500. If a ST is B1K, BF is B500, room is B300 and a condom is B20, he is pissing away 2946 STs LOL! "and how many LT's won if he wins..." OK, if he doubles his money, he will have THB 10,653,000. If a LT is B2K, BF is B500, room is B990 and 5 condoms are B100, he is able to get 2967 LTs or one BG a day for the next 8 years (providing he does not eat or drink LOL)!

Guest Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 His DUMB move is playing in Vegas with a wheel that has TWO no win spots, (0 and 00) rather than in Monaco where the is only one. As to the rest.... many Chinese gamblers do this regularly, believing that it just takes that one moment of 'joss' (luck) to change your life.
