When it Rains it Pours!

I thought I was just dreaming. Until now, I couldn't believe it was really happening. It was one of the best days of my life.

After winning a small amount of cash at DepEd Cooperative this afternoon, I was able to win the Monthly Finals of the Super 6 Tournament at the Casino Filipino, Manila Pavilion Branch this evening. I had a good winning percentage during the event, I won all the side bets pair, draws, and super 6. Of the total 22 deals, I was able to win 18 and lost only 4 times - a whopping 82% winning margin! I now have two tickets to the Finals on December 5, 2015. I plan to authorize my friend Eric to play in my behalf since I have two chances - remember, I won my first event at the Manila Grand Opera Hotel last March 10, 2015? Since the event will be happening at the same time, I am giving him a chance to shine.

Prior to the tournament, I tried my luck at the CF Pavilion by making small bets and I got so frustrated since I lost all my cash - I scored only 2 out of 12 bets. I just realized that it was just a warm-up before the final event.

Luckily, I came out the BIG winner today!

Gained a Seat to the Finals of Table Games Tournament

I am so lucky today. I went home very early since I was late for office this morning. Since I knew it would be traffic I took the road less traveled. Nah, it was just a figure of speech. Well, since I was not in a hurry and time was on my side I went to Sta. Cruz through FX via Pasig - Quiapo route, my usual day was MRT-LRT-Binondo way.

At Ronquillo, near Sta. Cruz church, I was invited by a supervisor from Casino Filipino to join their Super 6 Table Games tournament. To those who were not aware of what Super 6 meant, it was similar to a baccarat game (Lucky 9). Since I was familiar with the game and have been playing since I was young I acceded to her request. After the registration, I was introduced to other participants and was told that the tournament would be held at Manila Grand Opera near D. Jose St., Sta. Cruz, Manila.

I was at the venue at exactly 6:30 p.m. and for the first time, I saw a humongous venue for players eh... gamblers on the 2nd floor of the hotel. After getting accustomed to the place I carefully watched the VIP players as they pushed their Skyflakes-like chips worth P10,000.00 bets.

Now back to the topic, I was assigned seat number 6 and as a start, I was given 10K chips (all of the 8 players have the same chips too). It was my first time joining this kind of tournament and I was very nervous. I lost the first four bets I made and I was shattered. While other players were gaining more chips I have been losing mine. On the 5th deal of cards I saw that solid colored sign (is that the big eye?) has been creeping so I put a 2.5K bet on that and I won. Additional 4 bets through that solid thing and I recovered my chips, however, the guy on my right probably saw that solid thing too as he won numerous betting chips.

One by one, players have been ousted because they lost their chips and the good thing was I'm still alive. I counted the players and we are just 5, then down to 4. I could land to the top 3 with very careful plays. Down to the last 3 hidden bets, and I put 2.5K in the banker and the rest put theirs to the players, and know what? I was the only winner and that increased my chances to land in 2nd place! I was able to win the last 2 bets and just won the 2nd prize! Wow.

To conclude this story, I won a 45K pre-bet coupon but didn't convert it all to cash. I went home with an additional P20K in my pocket. Lucky me, I also qualified to the National Table Games Tournament on December 5, 2015. Yeeheey!
