Oh yeah that's quiteeee a lot of money. Is blackjack fun tho? But yeah if the losses are so big it doesn't seem worth it overall. Did you play it at the casino/online or both? It's okay if you don't lose it but then those losses would definitely catch up with you if they came up too often

I've never tried iced coffee, I just assume I wouldn't like it bc I can't @ the taste/smell of coffee but is it even similar? Yeah I'm not a biiig fan of hot drinks either, flavoured teas are nice though especially in winter Water is ehhh for me, I used to struggle to drink it because it doesn't have any taste but with some ice/flavour it's good/refreshing.

Yeahhh iced coffee has gotten pretty big here especially over the summer ofc so that it's more cool/refreshing. I prefer an iced coffee as I don't like drinking anything hot in general. Lol I used to be like that too but probably like 3+ years back I stopped drinking soda completely for a while and then I never got back into it as much. I drink so much water now even with meals a lot of the time Water's actually good tho, refreshing in my teen years I never did drink enough but I should've been.

That's a good point tbf but even 70's & 80's are bad but I guess y'all can handle better than most of us Americans Yup I would stay in front of the fan as well

Lol @ feeling safe-ISH with my bets Ughhh I'm so ready for my sports to return tho </3

Ah ok literally never heard of that candy but liquorice is solid!

Yeah I've had plenty of like $300-$1000ish winning sessions in blackjack when I'm betting big and running hot but then I've had more/worse losses in the $1000+ range in just one session so I've realized it's really not worth it. I tend to forget eventually and try again tho but I've finally put my foot down to mooostly stop with that game altogether lately lol. It feels good during those wins tho Poker and sports betting is a lot more manageable even if you start playing/betting in games for $100's per go.

I don't think caffeine even does anything for me anymore Like I literally just drink energy drinks because I like the taste. And coffee noooooo way Y'all like iced tea over there don't you? And I usually drink at least one soda a day

Yeah that's like our 'heatwave' lately, usually lasts for about a few days so people probably think there's no point but ughhh it's terrible. I just have to get some air/sit by a fan all day long basically

Ahhh you should Lmaoo I've bet on loads of random stuff before so I would deffo try that out. And following you I'd feel safe ish with it

I use Betfair but idk if that works in USA? They're basically just called 'exchange' sites but yeah best to just stick to what you know I think. Those lay odds are probably good for something like horse racing though where loads of them won't win

Yep these, they've got an aniseed/liquorice taste

Ohhh okay I'll have to have a look at blackjack some time as well. Is it possible to/have you ever won big on it before? "super luck" = not the game for me It's true, they even used to have those slot machines inside that Wetherspoons and one guy I chatted with there played/bet most nights and usually lost a bunch of money

Oh yeah I can imagine @ monster+alcohol if you're not used to it but yeah a lot of people are also caffeine fiends and looove that shaky rush (I'm not even too big on caffeine either... rarely coffee/not a big fan, never energy drinks, even pretty rarely drink soda in recent years).

Ohhh my god does it get up to 90+ some days there??? NOO WHY are there not AC's in homes then? I feel bad that really would be HELL

Lmaooo I might make some kind of betting thread (or I think there is one?) when NBA/NFL are on and you can follow my lead on bets (me to start losing a ton then tho )

Ahhh idk if that kind of betting is available here that I've seen but I'll just stick to betting with the bookies as I baaarely even understand it. But I probably would get it completely if I saw it in person and experimented with it a little.

Is there a candy called blackjack? I didn't even know that lol Nah blackjack definitely has some strategy to it as well but compared to poker there's such an edge for the dealer/casino regardless (compared to playing vs. people) that even if you play it right you're likely gonna lose in the long run unless you have super luck. Yuuup those kinda places prob make their big bucks off of taking advantage of drunk people who are being a biiiit too careless with their money (orangu)

Yeah you're right about that from what I know. Much more common to drink on the weekly/more like daily in Texas and down south in general.

Ahhh it's funny you say that because the other day when you made your first one I was so sure you'd win and even thought you had a good chance of winning that accumulator. Like I trusted more in you making random ones than myself when I know about the game Messss I couldn't sleep at all, lay there for hours turning over and then eventually got to sleep for... 3 hours

Seems like it's more popular there in the south?? Maybe it's just an over-exaggeration with the country songs but I always get that vibe because they even drink while performing and that

Yeah, like energy drinks don't do that much for me because I've drank them so often/for so long, but I remember last time I took a break for like a couple of weeks, then drank monster with alcohol... hours later I got soooo shaky from the caffeine But weird thing was I actually kinda liked the feeling. Only juice which I don't mind is pineapple but I can't imagine having it not in a cocktail

It gets sooooo humid here esp in London. I'd say it gets bad at about 75+ but those 90+ days are absolute hell Like even people who enjoy hot weather don't like it lol.

Yeah, I always just leave the odds bit the same but you choose your stake and then the liability is what you pay out if the bet loses (so you lose more than regular bets when you lose) and payout is profit. Profit makes it look tempting but I should probably leave it alone with that liability

Yeah should definitely be left just for fun/you should have a small ish amount you're okay with losing for casino games. I still don't know anything about blackjack (even less than poker), just reminds me of the sweets It's one that is completely luck based? I know exactly what you mean by foggy memory Like when you have to think hard about it to only kind of remember doing it. It's true, I bet they get hella drunk people in those places, it's the same for the shops down the road too, in one place I stayed in London there was a Wetherspoons right opposite a couple of betting shops and the guys used to go hang out there all the time after a few drinks.
