Roffle @ silence! How's the hangover?

[the sicilian]

Ok ..this gambling lark is hard work and haven't had much chance to write up...will prob do the poker bit when we get back..some of the bits are quite good... but c'mon you just wanna hear about spangling right?..ok you got it..

We were both bouncing a bit after Pizz won the money... i suppose to some its not huge huge..but as degen and mad as we are its still a big score... especially for Gav and will really help him in his daily life..and hand on heart i'm really pleased for the fella..his as nice a bloke as you could wish to meet and iv'e had some epic times with him already in Vegas..Prague and now Tunica.

We came down from the poker room and plotted up at the bar to have a drink and catch our breath.. it was 5 am and some action was still going on but we were pretty beat so we got past the craps table and roulette but fell at the fruities for a quick spin..well cmon we couldnt just go to bed... as a side note the woman by us won two and a half bags on a fruitie and then proceeded to play the same machine afterwards... i mean go figure..how stoopid you gotta be..ffs love it just paid out a lump its not gonna do it again..oh well...

we got up to the room and did the happy dance..Gav had a little roll around on the bed covered in his loot and we crashed.

Next morning we decided to go girlie shopping and then go on a casino crawl again..


On the Casino website it listed places to go..and said great shopping could be had at Peabody Place Mall in Memphis..ok lets go..got there and it was derilict..in fact this whole part of downtown Memphis was rundown and tbh didnt look that safe.

Across the road was a Hooters and seeing as we were peckish and that this chain of restaurents is reknowned for their food we decided to eat and ask one of the waitresses where the nearest mall was.

two dirty chicken burgers,buffalo wings and two dr peppers later we have learned of a mall not to far away.
The food wasn't great and the thing Gav had looked like throw up in a bun..however one of the perky blonde waitresses was an absolute stunner...i was thirty seconds away from offering her all my worldly goods when Gav hauled me back to the batmobile and shopping.

 Seeing as we hired a car i downloaded a cheap sat nav on my i phone and it has served us well and been declared bargain of the trip for £6.99l... however it had a bit of a mental on the way to the mall and we got lost in rush hour...fook it was a nightmare and for all their good ideas..Americans seem to have an aversion to signs..i mean lakeside is signed about 15 miles out ffs.

We finally found it and it was pretty crap...Gav was desperate to treat himself and his daughter to new ipad 3's and we found out there was an apple store in nearby GermanTown..yes thats what its called..so we got lost again and asked a woman for directions..now all she had to say was go across the lights and turn right..thats it..one fucking sentance..it took her five minutes whilst her brat screamed for attention..she just went on and on explaining the intricacies our journey would take..ffs love give it a rest... anyway it ended well and Gav finally managed to use his money on something other than degenning..and there will be one happy girl come thursday back in blighty....

So Girlie stuff over...let the action begin...

We got back on the road and headed for some of the other casino's as we had earlier in the week..We headed for a place called fitzgeralds..its themed like a little castle..and Irish I think..well its greeny looking so it must be..right?

we'd spun well there before so we ploughed straight onto the magic wheel which is the first thing you see as you enter the floor..lol they must have known we were coming and moved it last week..

anyway first number out is one of our key numbers..20 Black ..this is Gav's fave number.. mine is 23 ..as given to me by a Latvian waitress in Nottingham when pressed for a random number..well i gotta have a number haven't i ?

Now spinning one of the key numbers first out is not as good as it may seem..first we are not fully loaded on it as we are later in the spin..and secondly everytine this happens we do our nuts..

This didnt change....after getting a bit of a kicking Gaav decided blackjack would be his better option..and left me to marshal our shared troops..( we actually pool our money on roulette..but are solo on everything else. don't ask me why lol )

Anyway he could see me from the black jack table and he looked concerned as everytime he looked up I was waiving $100 notes at him as i changed them up...obv half the action is his and he now owes me this half as i proceed to knock it in double quick..a young guy with his girlfriend muttered 'hardcore ' under his breath as i covered 45% of the wheel for around 200 a spin and miss the bloody lot several times in a row...we spin a section of the wheel and this dealer decided it was allergic to it...Gav raped the blackjack for a lump and dashed back just before i emptied around a 1500 clip into the wheel...well i dont drink really and 2 quick corona's had got me bringing out the big guns....Gav helped me finish off the clip and made me go and play Bjack..we were gonna rip up there 3 dollar crap table but gunned in the full clip of 2 bags abd a bag of Gav's previous Bjack winnings...oooops..time to go back to base for a full reload and a little talking to....

Back at base we reloaded and went gunning for craps next door at the HorseShoe. Im not too keen on this casino..it feels unlucky as first night we got it handed to us...rinse repeat...almost another full clip was hosed in quick style as the dice were fixed to 7 for continuous roll outs.... we retreated to home casino turf...and fired at the craps there..slowly but surely we began to claw it back..Gav mooched off for more blackjack and i played on.

Then a black guy who had been in the middle of a good roll when i arrived took centre stage again..he rolled like a fricking hero...soon i had the 6 8 9 10 loaded up...and he just kept hitting..the dude rolled me even on the day.....redbulls sarted flowing and time passed..Gav came to see me periodcally and reported varying success...he was about 11 beers in and was lolling about..lol...drunk chinaman ftw....he finally had to surrender and went back to the room.

My hero had soon wisely departed with his stash leaving me and one other guy at the table...back and forth we went and then finally i got in the zone and things felt right..i chided the dice into cooperation and come 6.45 am i rolled out my final 7..stumbling back to the room a snoring chinaman and a pocketfull of cash to add to the ever bulging safe...phew...rollercoaster over..epic...
