Try My Hand?

[joggerjayne]

So there's this satellite Poker tournament starting tonight at the Rendezvous Casino down the road.

I could buy in for £30.

Okay, the Rendezvous is not my home casino (the Grosvenor is) ... only my second casino (and not counting where I go with the BF)

... and Poker is not really my game.

But maybe I should try my hand?

(see the "hand" gag there??)

[rowanwitch]

no give your £30 to charity instead... if you have it spare

I know I am no fun.......

[sandyRoe]

Keep your hand on you ha'pennies. Don't be throwing your money away .

[joggerjayne]

ok

[joggerjayne]

I could invest it wisely in lunch at The White Rabbit.

[rowanwitch]

with enough left for some popcorn while watching tv tonight...

Change the £30 into pound coins.

Find a grid in the street, and throw the coins in one by one.

any which bounce out are your winnings.

Far better odds - enjoy!

[joggerjayne]

Venator ... that misses thr point.

That's like saying that instead of going to the cinema, you should throw £10 into the street, because you'd be better off.

[sandyRoe]

If you accept that you're not going to win you could look at the £30 as the cost of an evenings entertainment.
Don't suppose it would buy much in Brighton.

[EvianBaby]

If it's £30 you can afford to lose then why not. It could be fun.

[joggerjayne]

"Don't suppose it would buy much in Brighton"

Lots of rock.

24 and a bit hours in The Lanes car park.

Couple of bottles of wine.

A few rides on the spinny thing at the end of the pier.

Two and a half pairs of socks from Runners Need.

Well, of course it's just entertainment. I'm hardly likely to win a Poker tournament. Oh, that's a thought ... not seen redhelen on here for a while.

Evian ... it could be jolly, couldn't it?

[Traci66]

£30 for a night out and the chance of winning more .... go for it and have fun !!

[venator]

Perhaps I'm not being entirely serious, jj?

[joggerjayne]

Maybe not, Ven.

=0)

Traci ... not much chance of winning, I don't think, but maybe fun. Shame it's not at The Grosvenor.

[redman41]

A Hand Job now and again can be very rewarding JJ ! :-)

=0o

[sunny-dave]

Go for it - have fun - a day at the races with a small bet on each race would cost about the same and no-one would be moralising about that ?

[joggerjayne]

Good point, dave.

[The Builder]

To put it into perspective, JJ. People who can ill afford it, spend a lot more than that on the lottery fantasy ;o)

[joggerjayne]

Absolutely, Dave.

Even as a total newbie, I think my odds of having a fluke win are better than 14,000,000 to 1

[Old_Geezer]

Gee I saw the title and thought it was an offer :-(
