\nI may give up craps. I found a better way to make money. I parked in a municipal lot and the meter closest to my car was out of order. I went to another meter two rows over. I put in two quarters and nothing happened. I pushed cancel and four quarters came out. I put in two more quarters and two dollars in change came out. I hit the cancel button a third time and a lot more change came out. I made $5.75. Forget about AC and LV. I am now a municipal meter gambler.<\/p>\n

Loved it!!! \ud83d\ude06 \ud83d\ude06 I remember reading about an old unshaven man still in his pajamas who resided in a rest home. He was trying to get a little something to eat out of a vending machine. He would put in a dollar for a $.50 candy bar (this was many years ago before inflation) and when the candy bar came out he would yell "jack pot." The young man, who was going to visit a relative, said to himself "poor man he has lost his mind" and continued on for his visit.<\/p>\n

\tAbout an hour later after visiting his relative, he passed back by the machine and a maintenance man was working on the machine. The gentlemen asked the maintenance guy what was wrong and he said—every time some one buys a item in the machine , the machine was spitting out quarters by mistake. Looks like the old man knew what he was doing. <\/p>\n

lol. I cheered when I read this post. While staying at a Florida Motel waiting to get on cruise ship, I would put 2 dollars in a Coke machine and it would spit out the coke and eject my change…. I guess that is like getting comps… I remember so many times when these machines would just eat the money and return nothing. (Vending Slots) You may get your product or you may not… <\/p>\n
