Just Bet It All

I'm sitting at the Hotel PanAmericano Casino in Bariloche with John and Uttam playing Blackjack the other day......killing time in the afternoon of our last day there.

The casino tables open up at 2 pm. Loads of slot machines. One blackjack table open and one roulette table. 10 peso minimum per hand (3 USD). Dealer uses 6 decks.

We all go in to play 100 peso's each. I cut the first shuffle. We win often. We are all up. John the most as he has been betting big. He was at one point up to 400 peso's.

John cuts the next shuffle. We lose often. I'm out midway. John close by. Uttam still has his original 100 peso's left. He is ready to cash out. Figures one hour of play and having fun really cost him nothing.

John & I tell him to keep playing. Bet it all.

Nervous Uttam thinks about it for a few minutes and then decides to play for a bit longer.

The cards were good to him. He left with 300 peso's! Up 200 peso's from start of original bet.

Peer pressure can be good at times.
