Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[Karabiner]

I'd go back and buy another $10K tomorrow.

[NigDawG]

i'd take all $50 bills back immediately and change them for literally anything else

[Simon Galloway]

99x $100 and break the case $100 into 20/10/5/1

Every day in Vegas, put 2 x 100 bills through a bill breaker in the casino on the way to Starbucks.  Thank me later.

Oh, and

i'd take all $50 bills back immediately and change them for literally anything else

I never keep hold of my money long enough to know much about it.

I don't know either.

So what's with the 50's?

[tikay]

I have literally no idea what the problem alluded to with $50 bills might be.

Could it be connected to this?

Every day that passes brings at least one surprise, but I never imagined that Lord Sir MTT Crush Bloke would read this waffly almost poker-starved Diary.

Good to see you here Chris.

So the problem with $nifty's is?.........

[Tal]

I had no idea about it until a couple of years ago, when a Mr Cake informed me they're considered unlucky in casinos.

"Have you never noticed" he asked, "why casinos never pay you out in fifties?"

"No, to be honest, but then it does tend to be a one way transaction for me"

Punters don't want them, apparently. I don't mind personally. I'll have as many off everyone as I can.

[tikay]

203 to 300 is 98 bills?

Maybe he meant to put in 20s but put in 50s.  Maths almost works?   

I'd take them back too. 

Ha, every time I do the sum I seem to find another $100.

[Karabiner]

The thing about $50's being unlucky is a clear case of inflation.

In the old days $2 bills were considered to be a bok.

I rung Thomas Exchange Global, & explained the issue, they are "checking the cameras" (?) & are going to ring me back.

I suggested they reconcile the numbers from Monday.

They asked how much the discrepancy was, but I decided not to tell them. That may have produced some interesting answers.

Really, if it is a well run place, when they reconcile they should be able to see the exact discrepancy, or I would have thought so.

This revenge for the Vodafone issues?  They are separate  companies. 

Been to vegas several times and never used the bill breaker machines.  Learn something new everyday. Tks

Also never knew about the $50 thing, but then again I am not a complete loon.

I find that Vodka & Sambuca are bad luck, too.
