4 8 15 16 23 42
I’ve heard of various betting strategies for playing blackjack. Double every time you lose, bumping through 2(x)-2-3-5 each time you win, etc. Since I’m in Las Vegas until Tuesday, I decided to try something different — the numbers from Lost.
The table minimum was 5, so I had to symbolically put down that for the 4, but then followed through with the 8, 15, 16, 23, & 42. I lost the 5, but the 8, 15, & 16 all paid. The 23 & 42… those where nerve racking, but hey, they both paid too.
Now the question is: Did I just curse myself & family for $99?

I suspect you avoided the curse by playing the 5 for 4, instead of the 4 for 5. Lucky.
