Karma Screwed With Me.

In my previous post, I mentioned how I made Rs. 100 by drinking a horrid cocktail conjured by Joel. It wasn't the most pleasant experience, in fact I was so woozy that I don't even remember most of the night after I downed the damn thing. Anyway the entire next day I rejoiced to the part where I had extra 100 bucks to spare. Later that evening Milind, Joel, Falon (Axel's GF) and I went to the Milagres fete. Little did I know what Karma I had ins tore for me.

Now a little travel down my childhood. Back when I was like 16 yrs old, I used to go to the Milagres Fete quite often and on one occasion I happened to play this gambling game called 'Three Card Monte'. Usually the professional do this with three cards, with two being black and one red. But these rookies over here do the same with small palm sized discs. The dealer keeps showing the red while he shuffles the three. And at the end he put all three down faced downwards, and one is required to place a bet on the red one. If you guess right, the money doubles. So back then I played this game and won it. I was so happy with myself that I kept boasting about it for years to come. After that year I kept looking for these dealers with intention of making some money, but no luck.

So the other day when we went to the Milagres fete, I saw this dealer hosting the 'Three Card Monte' game. Within seconds I was drawn to the table and within less than a minute I had lost Rs. 200. WHAT THE ****. I was devastated. The guys left no mercy in making fun of me. I was so tempted to hit the ATM with the intention to recover my lost money. And did I mention… I was devastated.

So not only did karma take back the money I earned the previous day, but did so in double. A little later feeling very confident about the game Milind, Joel and Falon (oh yes! She was tempted too), decided to hit the table to make some money. And guess what… THEY LOST. Oh I was so thrilled because now I had three other suckers going through my plight. Earlier that night Falon and Joel made a mention that they would never gamble. But one look at the game and you think that you know the trick (at least the dealer makes you think so).

Now… a little fact for all you guys who might consider gambling in this game. NO ONE CAN EVR WIN. It's all a trick there are loads of videos on YouTube proving this. Its quite a lot to explain as how this trick works, but if interested then check this link for Further details:-
