I went to go pay him off and I went looking for 50 in my pocket and inadvertently pulled out my main bankroll. I pay the guy and we bet a few more games, eventually breaking even and I leave to go watch Jay's midnight ring game.
6 hrs later I am walking to my room and I see the guy I was betting with talking to this guy in the halls. As I pass by they start talking in whispers and I swear I hear the one guy say the word "Asian" really low. I'm Japanese. After one more short loop through the main practice room I start to head to my room and as the elevator door opens I look and see that the other guy that the guy I was betting with was talking to is now right next to me. We are alone and at 6am there is still foot traffic but alot less than normal. I immediately got this really weird feeling and I feigned like I forgot something and walked away to the front desk.
This really creeped me out. Be careful folks. Dont be dumb with your bankroll like I was. |
It's really kind of sad that something like that happens to Japanese visitors to America. The Japanese live with such a high sense of security all the time that they just don't know how to handle themselves out of the country. Not in your case I'm sure but you know what I'm talking about. In Japan you could whip out a million dollars, people would look and that would be the end of it. If you were robbed it would be extremely out of the ordinary. It wouldn't surprise me if you dropped your bank roll and someone turned it into the counter as lost. Maybe not so much in Tokyo, because of the foreign influence, but out here where I'm at I have no fear of crime. None whatsoever. I'll leave my cue in the car with the engine running.
