I once doubled my money (from $200 to a little over $400). Played cheap ($5/hand) blackjack at one of the crappier casinos down the strip. Sat there for a couple of hours, free drinks, walked away at double, hit the craps table on the way out, won first try (only like $20), walked out of the shithole casino feeling like a god among men. Pretty fun. But I can’t fathom doing it at the level some people do. I saw a guy playing two hands at once, $5,000 a hand. Fucking BLACKJACK. It’s such a fast game. Still blows my mind.

That feels like an addiction even if you make your living doing it.
