�2000 on hold in VC Casino, what to do?

**Arutha** · 21st March 2009, 12:53 AM

Has anyone got any advice for me? Recently through a combination of feeling pigheadedly invulnerable and a few cans of beer, I ended up chasing Blackjack losses to the point I stupidly put on a �2000 bet, which I could just about afford

, but that's my savings gone. I got 11 whist the dealer got a 4

. Naturally the "right" thing to do is Double it but I can't really afford to outlay another �2K. I figure that there must be some way though to make some form of deal with somebody where they take the proceeds of the double part, (risk and reward) whilst I take the original bet part. I then get some kind of premium from the double. Unfortunately I have no idea how to contact someone who may be interested, not sure what a fair premium would be (maybe �100?), or how to make sure that both sides know the deal is on the level. If it comes down to it I'll have to just Hit, but what a waste.

So anybody got any hints on how to proceed?

Wow.

You want one of us to part with 2k to a new member for a blackjack bet? Simply because of the stupidity of this post I would love to nominate it. But I'm not going to.

Who's to say you double and get an ace, or any other card for that matter. The dealer could still hit 21.

I've got some hints for you. You're chasing losses, you placing bets you can't afford to make. "Naturally the right thing to do" is to not do it in the first place if you can't afford it. Especially as your profile lists you as 'unemployed'. Seriously, these are bad times for getting jobs. Blowing silly money on gambling is not good. Quit now is all I'm going to say. Those are bad signs.

As are coming to us with preposterous requests. Even if this post made my night

Don't tell me how to play..............hehe,

First off, to the OP, even if you wanted to transfer 2k more of your own money into your account, i do not see how you could do it, and still keep the same HAND at BJ active?

Next, Unless you have a Video Cam, that can be turned around to point at the Screen, it would be really hard to PROVE you lost the bet.

Splitting, and being able to double down is how you make money at BJ. If you make a bet, that will prevent you from being able to do this, then either you bet to much, or your bankroll was to small. HIT, as there is no other option.

You wasted 2 grand you wasted 5 minutes writing this post. What I suggest you do is cash out and never return and that is all the money you have that is so sad I really think you need to see someone right away. You know that saying bet with your head and not over it. Sheesh when do people ever learn..
