I've never been a huge gambler -- the most I've ever won in Vegas is $75 at video poker. I generally take $100 or $200 to a casino and proceed to blow through it in 45 minutes. Or I last about half an hour in a poker game with co-workers.
But a couple of months ago, I played poker with said co-workers and wound up with around $350 when all was said and done. This past weekend, I was in Connecticut visiting friends, and we decided to go to one of the casinos. So I got $100 in chips and ran through $90 of it at the blackjack table in about five minutes.
Then, something odd happened: I started to win. First, I was happy to get back to even. Then I was up $50. Then up $100. Considering my hot streak, I should have bet more aggressively. But I wound up leaving the table up $200 (after tipping the dealer) -- not bad for a few hours' work, I suppose.
Anyhow, a group from work is planning an Atlantic City trip in a few weeks. So I'm wondering if I'm on a hot streak or if everything just comes crashing down for me then.
