Packer R.I.P

A big man of Australian media ate it recently - Kerry Packer (aka Australia's Richest Man). I found this amusing quote about the big-time gambler in the paper

"He was, more remarkably, once reported to have won 20 hands of baccarat in a row at Las Vegas. There, a Texan oilman at Packer's table brashly announced he was worth $60 million. "Toss you for it," came the laconic reply."

Nice one Tex.

I've almost matched this effort by losing 7 hands of Blackjack in a row online. I think I lost about $160. It was incredible. I guess that is what seperates someone like Kerry Packer and me. Someone people got it, some people don't.

I guess I don't got it... yet.
