Another Melbourne Trip

Melbourne has become just another work city for me, which is sad cause I do quite like the place. From a tourist's perspective, the infrastructure, choice of foods, variety of events is quite good. All I seem to see is the hotel, the car and the training rooms on the project sites.

However, one good story to emerge was a gambling one. My workmate came with me to the casino. Now I was trying out some new craps method (betting against the dice, for the more advanced gamblers amongst us) and it just wasn't happening. My workmate (who was away from the table on a phone call) comes back to see me down to $9. I get offered the dice, but didn't want to roll. The dice are offered to my workmate, who declined as she had no money.

This old guy next to her then offers $5 for her to roll.....45 minutes later, she sevens out on what was the longest craps roll I have ever seen. I got all my money back (and more!), and my workmate has turned her $5 into $230! The funniest thing was that at the end of the roll, she was given an ovation, and two business guys gave her a $25 each for her part in making them (and everyone else on the table) a ton of money.

So from now on, craps is my game!

Damn! two cheap calls already:

...or your colleague's! I believe the moral of the story is take that girlie with you or you'll be going home with 9 bucks matey.

Oh, and I may be about 10 years late but nice blog - we just stumbled on it accidentally at work...we were googling my friend's new man......and low and behold....an entire parallel universe of blogs written by people I know! Crazy times!
