According to Gaming Today, a true story:

Last week a regular guy walks into the Gold Coast and buys into the Mini Baccarat game for $600. He starts at $50 and is soon up to $5,000 a hand which is the table limit. He gets to $100,000 and continues to play but can

Veronica, that's the kind of luck I need. You hear stories of people hitting it big for a small investment, but I have never actually seen it done. I did see a guy drop about $50,000 at the craps table at MGM years ago.
Heck, all I want is a crummy royal and I can't get it!

John,
"Sometimes, if it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all!"
Don't know who said that first, but it's so true some days!

Lee, in 10 days you can try for that royal again. You need a lucky charm.

john,

Part of it was luck. The other part was pushing his bets while he was on the streak. Here's a $600 buy-in betting $50. Would you increase your bets to $5,000 and risk a large percentage of your winnings like this guy did.

I'll push my bets up but not like this guy. If I made a $600 buy-in, I can't see myself betting more than maybe $200 per hand.
