Guess it was worth it...

So I'm not much of a gambler, but last night, upon signing in at my work's holiday party, we were handed two poker chips and encouraged to participate in the festivities.

I guess there was texas, craps, and roulette... But Matt and I stayed glued to the side of blackjack's table all night. The real reason being - I barely know the rules of 21, let alone all the other games made up to confuse me out there. I figured this was our best shot. And there were some pretty nice prizes up there.

What made it really interesting was the card dealers were told to make the games "fun" for the guests. In other words, I didn't see him win one hand. And yes, I must say, it did make it really fun....... In fact he was blatantly telling me to hit or stay. And if one person's card on the table would benefit another's and vice versa, he would switch them. And if it turned out his hand would be a 20 or 21, he would fan out the deck and ask some one to pick another top card just to be sure the table didn't lose.... Yes. I think Vegas should take some lessons.

So, courtesy of our generous dealer, after starting the night out with $10,000 combined, Matt and I ended with $37,500 and walked away with a $200 gift card to Best Buy. I think we placed 3rd. Not too shabby, eh?

It was either that or two bills at Massage Envy. But Matt's been talking about this blue ray thing FOREVER. And I love him and stuff.
