    Ploppy luck

    We all know that ploppies have some unbelievable luck sometimes, so I'm wondering What is the most outrageous ploppy lucky streak you guys have seen?

    I saw a pretty good one the other night where a young guy was playing w/a couple of his buddies at a $10-$500 table. First hand I saw him play he's spitting 10's against the dealers 10 up, playing a couple hundred in green - and of course he won. He keeps making all kinds of crazy doubles and winning. His chips are piling up big time; a huge stack of black, some purple, and a boat load of green. Not only that, but he's throwing money around to other players to keep them in the game - $100 -$200 at a time without asking to be payed back. He had shot one old guy $400. And it turns out this player and his buddies had only started with $100. Of course, he eventually lost everything he had on the table and more, but at one point he could have walked with around 7 - 8k if not more.

    And I've heard of a couple more way beyond this. One story was from a dealer that dealt to a guy who had bought in for $50, ran it up to 80k, and then lost it all back. Another was from another player who claims to have seen a guy buy in for a hundred or so, run that up to 200k, and then lose it all back. Of course this could be pure fabrication, but who knows?

    Why can't I get some luck like that just once?

    I saw a guy sit down at a table with $100 and ran up over $5k. First time he'd ever played.

    Every shoe, a plop started at table minimum and continued to double his bet up to table max. After a few hours, his $1000 buyin had turned into $100k.

    However, three weeks later, he returned to the same dealer hoping to duplicate his luck. He gave it all back.

    Saw an obnoxious, foul-mouthed, drunk ploppy (ring a bell, moo?) buy in for a few hundred. She proceeded to vary her bet wildly and annoy the hell out of everyone at the table. When she had lost a significant part of her buy in, she put out all the money she had left (a single hand at table max) at a seriously negative count. The relief from everyone was audible... finally, she'll be gone. But no, she catches a snapper with a table max bet out. Fortunately, shortly after that she was too drunk to continue and vanished.

    The other day I was back counting at a table and a ploppy sat down with $200 and started betting greens. After about half a shoe I hopped in cause the count was good. The ploppy got pissed and started making a scene. Well soon after I jump out as the count took a dive and he got mad again.
    He ended up losing that $200 and rebuying for $200 before the count went up again (probably 2 shoes) he was already up to $6000.
    The floor offered him a comp and he said he wanted a comp to the hit dog cafe LOL. At that time I walked over and got a soda at the pizza hut inside the casino and saw him standing in the hot dog line like a he was a boss (tons of confidence). I text my girlfriend and told her that this ploppy was a dick and I bet he will lose it all back soon.
    So I go back to backcounting and a few minutes later he walks up and starts looking at the table. One of the players offers his seat to the guy (like he was some high roller) and the ploppy accepts. He sits down and within a few hands the count jumps up and I hop in. He tells the dealer, "im gonna sit out". So he sits out until I jump back out.

    At this point he is only playing the low counts and he doesnt know it!

    He starts betting $1000/hand and is dive bombing. Right after I jumped in and out one more time he hops in and the count totally bombs and he loses it all. I couldnt help but laugh.

    I saw a lady buy in with about 300, betting green at a 6d. She placed $50 on the pair side bet, hit it (30:1)...first time I saw her play it. Later in the shoe she throws down $100, and hits another PP. She won $4,500 like that!

    I was playing craps, and this total loser either has no idea how to bet with decent odds, making odd place bets where he doesn't win that extra $0.50, or something. He's only got 25 or 30 bucks left by this point. Anyway, he throws in a $25 yo bet. Hits it. Presses it to $75, hits it again. He collects his chips and walks away without a "thanks" or anything, didn't even bother to tip that 1 red chip he had.

    Another time, I saw a ploppy go from betting red to green to black to purple to the casino having to fill the purple, all the way back down to red.
