As you know I have been enjoying being recognized as a Senior Citizen at the Sky City Casino here. On Mondays we get a coupon book that entitles us to $9.95 buffet, one free drink (beer, wine, pop), $5 keno and $10 slot machines.
In the past we have given away the drink and the Keno. A few weeks ago we thought we'd give this Keno a try. As I reported no Facebook we had $10 and actually won $3. So we had $10 fake dollars and walked away with $3 real dollars.
That was enough to by 2 litres of milk and 3x30c ice cream cones. An ice cream cone is 30c at McD's.
Last week instead of betting it all on Keno numbers we bet $1 on heads or tails. Essentially tails is numbers 1-40 and is head and 41-80 is tails, or is that other way around?
So last week I placed a $1 bet on tails and won. I got $2 back. Now if you remember that I am actually betting with money that doesn't really exists it's just a $5 keno coupon.
This got me thinking if L has a $5 coupon and I have a $5 coupon, she can bet heads and I can bet tails on the same game and we are guaranteed to win $10. That makes our dinner really on $9.90 for the both of us.
What an amazing idea.
Well after many long discussions, you have those when you're married, we have come up with a new strategy.
We'll each bet $3 so we are guaranteed to win $6 and use the other $4 to make bets with a possible jackpot $44 from a $1 ticket for picking 3 numbers.
By using this method we aren't totally taking advantage of our hosts and thus reducing our guilt factor a little. We'll be paying $13.90 for dinner for 2 which is still a great deal.
I'll let you know how we go later since tonight is Monday.
