$10,000 proposition

Factual Questions
1

So I was in Vegas a few weeks ago, as I had been quite a few times before, and I was sitting at a black jack table. I started thinking to my self, "boy, if I could walk out of here with $10,000 I would be able to pay off all my credit cards and outstanding debts. I mean, who couldn’t use an extra 10 grand? So I came up with a crazy idea. I have lost four consecutive hands, but only once, and every time I leave Vegas I am able to pay for the trip thanks to those black jack tables. If there happened to be someone out there who would like to take a pretty good chance on winning $10,000, I would be glad to offer my good luck (for a small fee of course) I would need a maximum of $160,000. I’ll place a bet for 20,000…if lost I will double the next and so on. When I win one of the four hands, we’ll be up by $20,000 (half of which would go to myself.) So to simplify, if you have a spare $160,000 lying around and would like to turn it into $170,000, I will be more than happy to help you out.

P.S. You might be thinking, “what if he loses all four times?” Firstly, the chances are very low and 2; I offer my personal guarantee that if we do happen to lose all four times, I will not heckle you or make fun of you in public.

I assure you, sir, they are not.

And I don’t think the mods appreciate spamming the board with gambling speculation offers.

“I assure you, sir, they are not”

I count cards on a six deck table, we can sit and talk about how high or low the odds are as long as you want.

“And I don’t think the mods appreciate spamming the board with gambling speculation offers.”

It was a funny, spur of the moment question more than anything else, chill the hell out.

Actually, I was thinking “What the bloody Hell is this doing in General Questions?”
