The system was simple. You started with a 5 dollar bet. If you won you kept everything for yourself. If you lost you just doubled the bet to recover your losses. If you were still out of luck doubled to 20, then 40 until you finally won. And the win would eventually happen. It was simple statistics. Our hair were full of gel and we both wore sun glasses. Akira even put on a Hawaiian shirt. With hundred of dollars of us we saw ourselves never having to work again. Yes, sitting at the table repeating bets did seem tedious. But it was much better than running around a restaurant balancing a tray trying not to drop the plates. And at first it all seemed to be working fine. The noise of the crowd was loud and exciting and we even managed to hit a blackjack. And then the bad streak happened. Once the forty dollars becomes eighty you are in a dark territory. The power of compounding numbers. If the bad luck continues you hit the maximum bet and then run out of cash. Your three hundred dollars is gone. There is no such a thing as easy money.
