Do you feel lucky Matt, well do ya?
I've had the most ridiculous run of luck lately.
I'm not big on luck and think many other things play into it, but anyway.
It all started on Sunday.
Two sundays ago I went and played cards with the guys from work. We all had a good time and it was decided that it will become a weekly thing. Since we get off of work early on sunday's due to closing the restaurant at 9. Two sundays ago I played and drank a lot, and had a good time. However I lost $60. And to me that's a lot of money.
So this weekend I was not sure if I was going to play. Up until I walked into work at 2 on Sunday, I was not sure. I decided on the way to work, that I'll only use $35-40, and still get beer and have fun with the guys at work.
I thought it was a bad sign when they ordered three pizzas before I got there and they all had bacon on them. Since I do not eat meat, and cannot pick bacon off of pizza like I can with pepperoni, I didn't eat any. We started playing and I won the first hand. It was about $8-9. Ok no big deal.
Well as the night went on I kept winning and winning. I did lose some hands but we all lose some. But not only was I winning hands and money I was not bluffing my way to wins. I actually had the cards to back up my betting. And the later the night went on the better the cards got for me.
We started about 11:30, and I did not stop playing until after 6 in the morning. After counting my money and factoring in the $40 I started with I won $160.
That's right $160. Plus I made $100 in tips that night. I left my house Sunday afternoon with $3 on me and came home with slightly over $300.
I could not believe it. Up until 2 on sunday I was not going to play, because I never win at anything, gambling wise I mean, and I cannot afford to lose the money. But I made a flip decision and I came away with $160.
Well monday came and I relaxed all day because the weekend was pretty crazy (that's another story (Birthday/bar on thurs, so the weekend benders I go on started a day early this week, birthday/party on friday, bar/after party of sat, and about 7 hours of cards and non-stop drinking on sun)). After the crazy tiring weekend I bummed around all day monday, and went to play tennis with my brother in the afternoon.
I beat him. I usually don't win at tennis against my brother but I beat him 9 games to 8. Well that was a fun surprise.
Walley ball was the same. My team won 3 games in a row, and I lost the fourth but was poised to win the fifth before our time ran out.
Tuesday at work, it seemed like I was not going to make much money. But I ended the night without getting busy at all but being steady and handling it no problem, and I made $130. I love nights where I do not have to hurry and rush for anything, I can just relax and do my job but still make money.
Wednesday I went to the Tiger game. I've been to 2 this season and they lost both of those games. Yesterday they won 12-5. I got to see a great baseball game and watch the Tigers win. That seems sort of luck to me since I was thinking I was bad luck to the team.
Like I said I don't completely believe in luck but I've been having a good week so far.
But that's just my opinion I could be wrong.
