Hello guys :),

Years ago, my 2nd time at a casino, I remember having decided to go alone since I've been scammed the 1st time. I didn't even have a car then and took a bus. The only game I've seen a "friend" play before was blackjack. So, I sat at a table and started betting $10 at a time. People were telling me to double up, hit or split. But no matter what I did, I was losing most of the time.

I had bought in for $300, then another $300, then $200, leaving $100 in my pocket. After losing the $800, I decided to get up and go home. Unfortunately, 2 pits further, there was a table where people were cheering and making a lot of noise. As I approached, the dealer was shuffling the cards, so I told myself why not give it another try and sat again. I hesitated a lot before betting my last $10 and when I did, I was dealt 19 and the dealer made a 20. It was like a smack that made me wake up from some hypnotized state.

I stood there and realized how hungry I was, checked my pockets and only found 65cents. I walked, a long walk to the bus station and had to wait about 2 hours for the right bus, then naively, I stepped up and told the driver that I've lost all my money and need to get home, but he laughed and said that he had heard that a million times. Surprisingly, as I was about to go down the little steps, a lady, an Asian lady I remember, who was sitting in the front seat by the door, said "Hey, you don't look like a beggar, come here" and she handed me $20, "Take it, take it, someday you'll do the same for someone".

Have you ever experienced something like this? Or helped someone in a similar situation?

Extremely interesting Story. That asian lady was as kind as it gets but probably not very honest regarding how you look (kidding, kidding!) 😅

You lost your money but gained a precious gesture of generosity!

‘You don’t look like beggar’ took me down. Honestly, I have seen many such faces with shoulders down at the Casino. Never had the courage or chance to help anyone, but for sure, I will do it next time.

I had the opportunity to do some nice gestures in my life, but unfortunately never in a casino or on the steps of a bus to pay that one back.
Still always makes me think of a nice movie with Kevin Spacey and Helen Hunt: "Pay it forward".

To be fair, I wouldn’t trust anyone in a casino who tries to give me advice or help me. It’s a world of sharks, and they prey on their victims, trying to take as much money as they can

I'm not sure I understand what you mean considering the topic of the thread.
