I Was Swindled Out Of $1000 Dollars

[pauper]

Maybe the root cause is gambling addiction??? I think your money has been lost at the poker tables Joe...

Not much gets past you does it?
Another one for Frenchie's detective agency.

This is a song called 'Metal Machine Music' or 'Sorry Miss, Luis Suárez ate my homework', I'd like to dedicate this to sketchers of portraits everywhere.

I don't know just where I'm going
But I'm gonna try for the kingdom, if I can
'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man
When I put the dice into my hand
And I start to see the promised land
When I'm rushing on my run
And I feel just like Jesus' son
And I guess that I just owe Joe
And I guess that I just owe Joe

I have made a big decision
I'm gonna try to win back that G for Joe
'Cause when the luck begins to flow
When I shoot craps or shuffle decks
and I'm throwing cash on bets
And you can't help me now, you guys
And all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk
You can all go take a walk
And I guess that I just owe Joe
And I guess that I just owe Joe

I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
I wish that I'd sailed the darkened seas
On a great big buquebus
Going from this land here to that
Oh, in a sailor's suit and cap
Away from the big city
Where a man can not be free
Of all of the evils of this town
And of himself, and those around
Oh, and I guess that I just owe Joe
Oh, and I guess that I just owe Joe

Swindlin', be the death of me
Swinder-lin', it's my wife and it's my life
Because some greenbacks in my hand
Sets of the neurons in my head
And then I'm better off than dead
Because when the luck begins to flow
I really don't care anymore
About all the expats in that town
And all the gulchers livin' in fortified compounds
And the coke and iPads I left in Joe's lounge
And all the dollar sniffin' AFIP hounds
'Cause when the luck begins to flow
Oh, I really don't care anymore
Ah, when the gamblin' gets in my blood
And that blood is in my head
Then thank God that I'm as good as dead
Then thank your God that I'm not aware
And thank God that I just don't care
And I guess I just owe Joe
And I guess I just owe Joe

My wife and I have decided to enter the poker tournament next weekend at the Conrad. I'm a pretty decent player (I'm up about U$75,000 lifetime score) but she can beat me with both eyes closed (she worked as a croupier for a couple of years in Rio). I watched her turn U$1000 into U$7500 in three hours in Las Vegas and then walk away just as the table turned cold. I'll probably give her some of the money that I would have played. If we see Santiago Vera at the tournament should we take a selfie?

Does anyone else want to go? The Conrad is offering good room rates for players.

According to Pauper's song, Santiago is a mediocre poker player, he probably lost his pants in Conrad. Now he is going to lose his clothes in BsAs, it's going to be a very cold winter
On the other hand, have fun there.

Hmmmm ....

Inscripción = 1000 USD.
Amount Sanboludo stole from Joe = 1000 USD.

Coinicidence? I think not!

Am I qualified to be a Frenchie Sleuth?

 

[GS_Dirtboy]

Yes, that seem very coincidental to me as well.

Yes a Selfie is safer, if you ask IG to take your picture he won't give you back your camera...

GS, Are you serious? You're really going?

I'd like to go but I heard Punta is super expensive - restaurants and all. And I'm not a gambler so I wouldn't even get a room discount...

Joe! I open this thread in FEAR.....! What if before Aug, 31 st. IG sends a transfer for the $1K . All this festival of disqualifications would have to be reverted disclaimers posted! However don't believe it will happen !

Gambler's Paradise

(Music by MC IG, lyrics by Joe)

Joe made the situation, he got me facin'
I can't live a normal life, I was raised on the Strip
So I gotta be down with the hood team
Too much Poker Stars watchin' got me chasin' dreams
I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
Got Joe’s grand in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a loc'ed out gambler, poker table banger
And my homies is down, so don't arouse my anger, fool
Death ain't nuthin but a bad hand away
I'm livin life do-or-die-a, what can I say?
I'm thirty-three now, but will I live to see thirty-fow'?
The way things are goin' I don't know

Been spending most my life living in a Gambler’s Paradise
Been spending most my life living in a Gambler’s Paradise
