Incredible Roulette Run of 19 Red Never Actually Happened
Remember the story about the incredible run of 19 red at the Roulette table in Vegas? Never happened, unfortunately. The poker pro who snapped the photo clearly didn’t realize that the table was empty and a diagnostic test was in progress. Once the story went viral, someone finally called the Rio to inquire.
“There was no one playing at that table,” Rio Las Vegas Hotel & Casino spokesman Gary Thompson told The Detroit News on Wednesday. “It was just a diagnostic test being done.”
Pretty bad job by the poker pro. [Detroit News]

Just making sure we can still make the ball land where we need to when need be.

Cool comment at the end of the old roulette thread. Not as good as the comment about the guy who sexed Aubrey O’Day at the end of the recent Roundup, but good, especially the Barkley comment.

surprised darren rovell wasn’t all over this like shit on a pig.
June 21st, 2012 at 10:55 AM
Rovell to make more than half a million a year at ESPN.
June 21st, 2012 at 10:55 AM
Link.
June 21st, 2012 at 10:58 AM
you don’t say…considering how much of a problem he has with athletes being compensated so much, you’d think he’d have the mind to turn down an offer like that considering the menial importance of his job.
June 21st, 2012 at 11:01 AM
I’d be curious as to how many of the people who have problem with Rovell still follow him on twitter. I unfollowed him this morning. Just couldn’t take it anymore.
June 21st, 2012 at 11:02 AM
link? didn’t catch that one.
he probably did realize this and sent out the photo with no regard for that fact. pretty easy to look at a table and see that there is no one there.
June 21st, 2012 at 11:04 AM
i have a problem with him, but don’t check my twitter feed enough to get annoyed with his shit.
June 21st, 2012 at 11:05 AM
He needs to be found and ridiculed.
June 21st, 2012 at 11:06 AM
I think he’s an idiot who isn’t worth $100k much less $500k but I don’t “have a problem” with him. I still follow him. I’d say it’s 50% for the comedy of what he writes, 25% for people’s reactions, and 25% for actual interesting information. When he does get on a roll, it’s not hard to ignore. But then again, I’m not on Twitter as much as some people.
June 21st, 2012 at 11:06 AM
link? didn’t catch that one.
Here you go.
June 21st, 2012 at 11:07 AM
He needs to be found and ridiculed.
He’ so clueless. Contract him from the poker tour.

Oracle Corp. CEO Larry Ellison has agreed to buy 98 percent of the Hawaiian island of Lanai…

Hey everyone! We’ve got a celebrity commenter! You’ll be excited to find out who it is.
June 21st, 2012 at 11:10 AM
Shock and dismay over disinformation on the internet for the first time ever.
June 21st, 2012 at 11:10 AM
speaking of hawaii…i would like to go back.
June 21st, 2012 at 11:11 AM
You’d think they could find a better picture to use.
June 21st, 2012 at 11:13 AM
So when is the post about the college playoff that Jason’s drum-beating produced?
June 21st, 2012 at 11:13 AM
Oh sure, that’s what they want you to think. Meanwhile 11 men that night were seen at the Bellagio fountains discussing which South Pacific islands might be for sale.
June 21st, 2012 at 11:13 AM
if you only knew who he was!… 1 year later after he disappears… meh, you probably would have never heard of him anyways.
June 21st, 2012 at 11:14 AM
Me too. Great honeymoon.
June 21st, 2012 at 11:15 AM
By the way, all you that clicked on and commented in the ‘Dan LeBatard in a Speedo.’ post are homos. I don’t know who you are, b/c I refuse to click the link, but you all know who you are.
/did not click link
//refuse to click link
///no way I’m clicking that link
////don’t try to bribe me with the old “But Spencer’s comments are gold!” argument.
June 21st, 2012 at 11:15 AM
I’d like to know about the other 2% and why it was not purchased.
June 21st, 2012 at 11:16 AM
So we’re homos for clicking the link, but the pic itself turned HtownHacker straight.
Left is right, up is down. Dogs and cats, living together! Mass hysteria!

I’m guessing state park or military base.

June 21st, 2012 at 11:23 AM
Spence and gg are married to each other?
June 21st, 2012 at 11:24 AM
“Homer! Bart! You’re not lepers, it’s just oatmeal!”
“Oh, we know. We figured out when dad ate one of his lesions.”
“But why didn’t you say anything?”
“Because we got a free vacation to Hawaii, and all we have to do is go through a few hours of blinding electroshock therapy a day.”
June 21st, 2012 at 11:24 AM
i know there’s one on molokai.
wait, what?
June 21st, 2012 at 11:26 AM

That will be news to my husband.
June 21st, 2012 at 11:32 AM
is that what the old scheming dude in Braveheart had? Was he a leper?
June 21st, 2012 at 11:35 AM
No shit.
June 21st, 2012 at 11:35 AM
yea…they took some liberties with that tho. the real robert de bruce was dead before william wallace was captured.
June 21st, 2012 at 11:38 AM
And Robert the Bruce was much more historically significant to Scotland than William Wallace. He travelled to the Vatican to get the Pope’s support.

leper hockey game had faceoffs in the offensive zones
then there’s a long joke about someone dipping toast into a wound, but it’s long
June 21st, 2012 at 11:43 AM
laughed my ass off.
/also a leper joke
June 21st, 2012 at 11:45 AM
He did lead them to battle and victory in the last scene using William’s wifes love hankie as a catalyst.
June 21st, 2012 at 11:50 AM
The Braveheart battles at when he kills the sheriff and at Stirling are Kill Bill/Crazy 88′ish in over-the-top gore. Always some medieval death that amuses me.
June 21st, 2012 at 11:56 AM
No easy way to die in medieval times. Battles must have been terrifying chaos.guns are merciful

I’ve seen this happen all the time at the Rivers (pittsburgh). Usually from a faulty machine… You’ll walk past and the same number will be up like 5 times in a row. Has anyone else seen this?? Prob just speaks to the quality of the machines at the Rivers casino now that I think about it..
