But then I am a Sunday afternoon online gambler while Barack is still an amateur. His learning experience is still ahead of him while I have already chalked up quite a few. At this moment we are both online, gambling for the big one, he the presidency and me the progressive jackpot which at this moment is close to 4 million dollars, enough to allow me to buy that new Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren which is priced at $457,250. This is the fastest automatic transmission car in the world with a top speed of 207 mph and reaches 60 mph in 3.8 seconds from stand still point. Just what I need for some of my getaways! As for Barack, I hope his little online gamble pays off. From where I am sitting he is gambling on acquiring a whole slew of problems most of which are unsolvable and will still be there when he gets up and leaves the gaming table in 4 or 8 years time. So while the most of America was lining up to cast a vote I was sitting in my study in a pair of boxers, my feet up on the table and searching the internet for the largest progressive jackpot. With help of Google I tracked it down and logged in. A cool 4 million bucks, but I had to hypnotize the online casino’s slot machine into lining up the reels for me at the precise moment that Mrs. Johnson’s black cat comes strolling through the front gate and passes under the little ladder I cleverly set up leaning against the garden wall exactly as the village clock strikes the first note of noon. I play ‘max coins’, the only way to qualify for a progressive jackpot. If you are playing on a slot machine linked to the progressive jackpot in an online casino and you play only one coin and hit the jackpot, you will win only a small amount and probably spend the rest of your life crying. So every ‘pull on the lever’ cost me 5 dollars, a small price to pay for such a big win. You can guess the rest of this story. My new Mercedes-Benz is silver. Barack Obama will soon be sitting in an oval office. Who had the biggest win? Posted on: November 6, 2008
