$500 on black, yikes

Waiting for my seat, made $125 pretty easy. Only doubling once and playing 2 tables at once. Was still a few off the list. Saw 5 reds but had a bad feeling. Talked my self into "one more $25". I missed. So didnt double, just went to $25 again to recoup if I hit. I missed. Didnt want to go deeper, otherwise I might not have a buy in. Check on my seat, still on the list. Back to the roulette table another red had gone in that time. So bugger it, gotta be this time right? Put $150 on, missed. Ouch. Back to the poker table, then back up. Again, another red had gone, 11 or 12 in a row now. Black was loaded, other punters had about $4k on it. So I put my pink $500 reserve chip on and hit a 14. Nice.
