Damn Vegas stole my Kleeman

I was there this past weekend and was up 12 grand when i went nuts thinking about a Kleeman upgarde on my Clk430 with Brembo brakes and a new CL hood i ended up crapping out everything. I was 2 hrs away from at least a Kleeman supercharger. Instead i gave it back to the casino and dropped 5 grand of my own. Just an advice for those thinking about a Kleeman supercharger dont get greedy in Vegas.

If you do you might as well hand the guy all your cash and have him ram you up the *** for a better exp.

that's for sure.... i did the same thing a month ago when i was in vegas....sat at the blackjack table for 7 hrs and came away losing way too much....wasn't thinking about buying a blower with my original winnings but money in the pocket is money in the pocket....ended up pissing it all away because i'm an idiot that should have walked....and then i walk over and start playing this game called the wheel of fortune....something like roulette but a little different and pissed away even more money....damn vegas can kiss my ***.....

was 15 his peak or did he start to lose before leaving the table... hell either way..more power to him

my friend gets free room and board at various hotels in atlantic city almost every month... and he loses like a champ.. which is why they keep inviting him back... we usually end up going up there with him just to chill ... it's a free weekend..

Sorry to hear about your bad luck with vegas. I was thinking of the same thing to get some fast cash and then get the kleemann but it's tough gambling.

I've only been to Vegas 5 or 6 times, but I seem to have pretty good luck there. I've always either broken even, or left Vegas with a few hundred bucks more than I came with. It's not like winning 15 grand or anything, but hey, I'll take what I can get!

i think he was down around 3-4K before he started a streak....i think it was just a few hands....maybe around 10 or 11 that he made all that money back....just started to bet more and more as the streak continued....don't know if he would have made more if he had stuck around but no matter....walked away with 15

What Stock do you have? the way the market is going these days, it's hard to believe anyone is in the positive... unless you got the stock 20 years ago for cheap and let it ride...
