Seriously moronic kid steals 1k bucks from a store. Then decides he is going to blow it on Blackjack. What a moron.

You really shouldnt cheat at blackjack,especially at church fundraisers. Check out this booboo head who decided it was ok to cheat God, and the blackjack players.
A sports bookie convicted of cheating at blackjack during a church festival has been dealt 6 months in jail by a central Ohio judge.
Sixty-eight-year-old Roland Chapa apologized in court on Wednesday and offered to ante up a $5,000 contribution for St. Timothy Catholic Church in Columbus as his punishment. But Franklin County Judge Richard Sheward decided to play the jail card instead, saying he didn’t think the law allowed the alternative sentence.
Chapa was accused of palming cards during the church fundraiser in July 2007. One witness said when Chapa stood to empty his pockets, a two of spades fell from his pants.
In June, a jury found him guilty of possessing criminal tools and cheating — a felony because Chapa had a previous gambling conviction.

Herein lies the story of one internet blackjack addict. This is exactly why you need to have good strategy and know when to walk away from the tables. Gambling is like cigarettes once you start you never stop so if you start you better know how to smokem.
Ever since he was very young, Sean G. used to drive the 275 miles between Los Angeles and Las Vegas to gamble. But when he started to gamble online, his bets – and losses – went out of control.
His initial $10 and $50 bets moved to $100 bets, and he ended up betting between $1,000 and $2,000 a week, said the Los Angeles resident, who was interviewed on the condition that he would not to be publicly identified.
“I started winning and I thought I could do that all the time,” said 39-year-old Sean. “When I lost, I didn’t get scared because I thought I could still beat it, …but it didn’t take long to take out of control.”
Only in Connecticut could casino revenue losses be blamed on players luck, and not on bad management. Seriously folks this is a ridiculous sign of bad management.
Mohegan Sun officials said the casino’s net income in the third quarter dropped 89 percent compared with the same period last year, and they’re placing some of the blame on gamblers’ extraordinary luck.
The Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority reported net income of $5 million Thursday for the three months ending June 30.
Mitchell Etess, Mohegan Sun’s president and chief executive officer, said the casino had an extremely long streak of bad luck.
Gamblers played about $611 million at table games during the quarter, a 6.4 percent increase. The casino kept about 11.6 percent of that gambling money, nearly 5 percent less than it did during last year’s quarter.
Dont worry you can still play blackjack in Florida and now you can play lots more of it. Atleast until it gets shut down or someone forces a legislative pact with the Seminole indian tribe.
The Seminole Indian Tribe in Florida were supposed to be discouraged about the state Supreme Court ruling that voided their compact with Governor Charlie Crist. If they were worried about the ramifications of that ruling they certainly are not showing it.
The Seminoles compact allowed them the rights to offer blackjack at their casinos in the state, but the ruling by the Supreme Court voided that compact. The Seminoles appear unfazed by the ruling.
Not only have they not shut down their blackjack tables, they are actually expanding them. The Seminoles are planning on putting tables outside by their poker room so that people waiting for poker can play blackjack.
They also will be targeting people passing by on their way to and from the various clubs at the Hard Rock. The original demand for the game has been great, leading to the decision to expand.
It is still not known whether the Seminoles will have to shut down the tables. There is an ongoing court battle in which opponents of the expanded gambling are trying to have the tables eliminated from the Hard Rock.
Gambling is legal in Black Hawk, Central City and Cripple Creek, Colorado. The casinos in these historic towns depend on gambling dollars from tourists and locals to survive.
But under the current gaming rules, a gambler may only wager a maximum of $5 per bet on the blackjack table. It is nearly impossible to beat the house over the long haul under these conditions. Why? The slight edge the house enjoys every time a player makes a bet, even as the player is employing the best blackjack strategy, will ultimately wear the player down.
Arguably, the best chance one has to win any significant amount of money, while limiting the downside, is to bet progressively with house money as one starts to beat the dealer. If one is lucky enough to win several hands in a row, the number of chips on the table in front of a player can suddenly escalate.
There are various strategies for managing the way one bets, however, though one thing is certain: Play the same amount every hand over a long period and the time spent pursuing profit will hardly have seemed worth it.
For most folks, the $5 wager is child’s play. Winning $5 carries no excitement. Anticipation can never build. Boredom with the task at hand overcomes any initial titillation.
Good chance, as of this writing, that an initiative will appear on the November, 2008, ballot in Colorado to raise the limit on blackjack to $100. This factor alone would greatly advantage the player over the current situation. No dollar limits would even be better.
The initiative also calls for adding craps and roulette to the mix of games allowed in these casinos. The addition of these games would greatly enhance the gambling experience for most people. Not all folks like to play the slots, you know?
