Know when to fold them

“Come on, I need a win. Just one!” Moaned Dominique, watching in despair as her chips were dragged away from her once more.

When Dominique said she needed a win, she wasn’t just talking about paying off her €15.000 debt. She needed a win in her life in general. Her family disowned her. Her boyfriend cheated on her with her best friend, and earlier in the day she got fired from her job as a waitress in a loud and public way. She just needed to feel good.

But as she went to the ATM to get some more money, all she could was, “INSUFFICIENT FUNDS”.

Slamming the machine in frustration caught the attention of the cashier. “Miss, if you break that it’ll only cost you. But if you’re strapped for cash, we accept other payment methods.”

“Like what?”

“We accept possessions and even property, if you’re ****.”

Dominique thought it over for a couple of seconds, before she slammed her purse on the register. “I’m in!”

“Aaaand it landed on 17! Better luck next time.”

“Dammit! I guess I’ll bet my phone.”

“Dammit! I guess I’ll bet my car.”

“…mit! I guess I’ll bet my clothes.”

“…guess I’ll bet my furniture.”

“…bet my house?”

“And it landed on 23.”

Dominique sat with hands in her hair. She literally lost everything. No clothes, no car, no nothing.

So she decided to go to the cashier, hoping to get some pity on her.
