Does this make you laugh as much as I laughed?

RS is certainly one of the BSers here.

Axel also fails to come up with a name.

By the way, before I asked for the name of the casino offering a 150% loss rebate I did my own web search. I couldn't find one mention in more than five pages of Google search results of casino and gambling forum websites.

Sometimes when public events are this hard to find on the Internet it's because they never happened.

Prove me wrong. Give the name of the casino so I can call to verify this public event. I will start with the casino's marketing department. I'm sure they'd love to discuss that fantastic 150% loss rebate promotion they had.
I'm glad to prove you wrong. Let me know how much you'd like to pay. From your perspective, this seems fairly simple -- a chance to prove all the APs wrong because we're claiming something happened even though it (supposedly) never happened. I hate basketball, but this sounds like a slam dunk for you.

Yes he regretted what he did but he was going for the big win. That was his plan. In hindsight it didn't work.

Several times I've hit $5 royals and then lost most or all of it at higher denominations. I'm not going to deny it.
Gotcha, fair enough. I don't think I actually saw when you wrote what happened, other than the 5 royals + loss for the day. Going up in denom (causing the loss) is more believable. Had the timing been a bit better for him, he could'a walked out with $500K+, assuming he would have kept going up and hit a royal on $5 or $10, then another on $25, and one on $100.
