Table Games 1k buy in 25k result. ...

Just finished 3 shoes of BJ at my local....some guy (nice guy), joins our $25 table and starts betting one spot.... $150 hand....

Got burned a bit, but ended up squeaking thought the first shoe...I'd guess even or up a few bucks....next two shoes he won basically every hand on a 1k max bet full table..and walked away...well I walked away..and he was up 25k...

I limped away with 2k profit after breaking evening on what was a 5k high limit slot loss day...I'm happy with that. ..

Anyone else have (or witness) a 25x bet profit in a short amount of time?

 

Yes. I hit a run at Bellagio. Down to my last $500 chip. Every hand was split double down and ran it up to $105K. When I had about $25K in front of me, the dealer told me to press harder. I didn't listen because I was chasing. I would have won over $700K that session if I listened. But, I was still happy with the result.

 

You know the old saying...

Nice hit boys! Always good to walk out on the + side, eh!

I would estimate that once per year (several times in one trip a few years ago) i'll walk away from blackjack with 25x bet profit. I play aggressively with questionable doubledowns, but every so often they start hitting. With a high success rate in splits and doubles, you can reach 25x fairly easily.

......Likewise, when your multiple split/double hand results in a 12, 17, 14, 16 and 18 and the dealer turns his 6 into the inevitable 6 card 21, you rebuy, and then rebuy, and.....

Of all places Suncoast. I started with $400 at BJ. Ended up with $21K and they stopped my play, telling me I was too lucky for them that night! I've never been back. They have a history of walking off players and no I dont count cards, wasn't seeing the hole card and I'm not a regular BJ player. Just got on a streak.

Floaters.

 

It really depends on ones playing style and how hard they press when the streak starts. I remember years ago playing with a friend at MGM Grand and he won about 20 hands in a row, I believe there were 2-3 pushes for him in that. I've played double deck with one other person one time at a local casino, Belterra, and won every single hand.

The best streak I got on was down to my last $500 and turned it into $7,000.00. It was from a mixture of blackjack +3. I was playing 25-50 on the sidebet after I hit the first few, so not sure how much of that win was actually from blackjack itself.

And I've frequently turned $1,000 into 3,500-5k at Treasure Island in the high limit room. They use to have good rules on their double deck and S17 DAS, haven't been in 2 years so not sure what the conditions are now.

 

Only once for me... many years ago...at the Riv... $25 table (2-deck, S17, DAS)...I turned $75 into $1900... (which put me up $900 for the trip).
Then, on the way to get my bags & head to the airport, I stopped at a two-deck game at the Flamingo...told the dealer I just needed to win a quick $100 so my trip win would be $1000.
He chuckled, and then dealt me 4 consecutive wins @$25 each. I quit & went to the airport.

Even further back, I had something similar at a crap table... but not sure this qualifies: I bet $10 on a hard 8. It won.
I took my $10 back and pressed the rest ($90)...it won & I took it down ($900).
I then went & played blackjack the rest of the time...and gave back about $200 of it.

 

too many to count.

last $300 turned into 26k in one shoe
last $1500 turned into 70k in 2 shoes
$500 single use promo chip turned into 60k in one night
$1k single use promo chips turned into 100k in 2 days

of course what about these?

55k turned into $0 in 45 min
60k turned into $0 in 1.5 hours
70k turned into $0 in 30 min
100k turned into $0 in 20 min
110k turned into $0 in 11 min
200k turned into $0 in 22 min

those aren't as fun to talk about...

 

Those had to have been truly great!

Nothin' quite like killin' them with their own money!

 

We do all have big losses we tend to forget and at least shifter admits them. Worst for me was $8500 in less than 2 hours at PH a couple years ago. Having only $500 left of my $9000 bankroll I hit the High Limit slot the next morning. Things are fuzzy but I remember being up over $20K. By the end of the trip it was all gone.
