This happened when I was aboard a Royal Caribbean Cruise ship. I had a good feeling that I was “walking around LUCKY”!
I don’t know what it was about this feeling, but it was surely LOUD in my ears!
I went to the casino and walked around looking for the ‘right game’, just like my favorite movie, “Let it Ride” starring Richard Dreyfus, that feeling was very strong.
I found the very game …. “LET IT RIDE” …. this was a game in which each player got three cards and the dealer drew two cards.
As I sat down, there was a well dressed man sitting in a chair and he was teaching a man who stood behind him how to play a game.
The very first hand I was dealt the three cards .. as I remember, they were terribly apart. There were no pairs or connected cards at all.
The gentleman who was the only other player got his cards and showed a big smile.
With the cards I was dealt, I dropped out right away. I knew I couldn’t have won. I was not willing to bet more in order to stay in. This was a real loser, I thought.
But I had to stick around to see what happened to the other player.
The dealer dealt himself a picture card. The gentleman bet to stay in. The dealer drew an ace …. The PLAYER ROSE OUT OF HIS SEAT … HE HAD DRAWN A ROYAL FLUSH!!
He handed the fellow behind him two black chips (worth $100 each) and then he handed me the same amount!! He thanked me for playing the game and said, “If you hadn’t sat down, I would never have gotten those cards!!
“I can’t wait to tell my wife!” ….. We’re only down $2,000.00 now!
PS He had won $8,000.00 plus, but obviously, he hadn’t yet broken even!!! This was the luckiest gambling event, I ever had anywhere …. I lost and at the same time I WON!!!! ??????
