That was my 20s as well in college. Pizza, beer, myself, a huge ass flat screen TV (which was rare at the time). I think it started around 11am, maybe? This was at Illinois State University. I'd have my laptop - with AIM/AOL instant messages all over the screen with various friends to discuss the picks. The picks were faster back then, weren't they? Like, 5-7 minutes? Those were good times.

Still confused by the drafting of Cedric Benson when we had TJ.
The 1st round is actually a lot faster than it use to be. It use to take like 5-6 hours. Now they get through it in 3-4 I believe

I started a chip collection on my last trip. Got a chip at every hotel on the strip and downtown.

Except two - the two hotels I stayed at! Still not sure how that happened, but I blame the alcohol.

Whats the most u ever won and what were u playing?

Whats the most u ever won and what were u playing?

Slots? $1,400 (and I was on my last $2 for the night! So I recovered my entire trip's bankroll with that $2)
Blackjack: $200 on one hand (bunch of split 8's for $25 each, dealer busted). Overall session? About $500 up. I usually play $10-25 a hand. I am NOT aggressive at all. I did win a blackjack tournament for $750 if you want to count that.
Craps: $1,500 up for the whole trip (shoot to win electronic craps).
Videopoker: $200 hits here and there, sometimes coming out $1-300 ahead (but that game also drains me very fast. Still waiting for my first royal flush.)

Sportsbetting: This isn't in Vegas, but here in Illinois, I did a random ass 6 game parlay on baseball for $25 and hit $700 out of it. That was nice and actually used that money for my September 2021 bankroll in Vegas.

sounds like you should like playing Spanish 21, be confident in your side bets once you get the idea of it, you can win fast.

ONE more thing, when you win on your hands, put your winnings in your pockets and out of sight, don't remove til you cash out.

I moved to Vegas in late September 2021 so I'm always happy when more events show up here. Depending entirely on my work schedule, I may try to go to a day or two of it, we'll see. I thought about going to the pro bowl or NHL all star games but the tickets were pretty expensive ($160 for nosebleed pro bowl tickets as an example) for an exhibition game.

Got to see Duke/Gonzaga back in November and that was an awesome experience. Hoping to attend a VGK game at some point before the season ends. I've heard they're an awesome game day experience. Looks like they're out of town the week of the draft but playoffs start May 2nd so depending on how long you're staying, that may be something to check out too.
