Bow to Your Sensei!

The crew went out for laser tag and bowling tonight. Before everyone showed up we played around a little bit in the video arcade (side note: how do arcades still make money? Their video games are all wayyyyy worse than modern console games and you have to keep paying each time you play! Monopoly of attention I guess, especially in a place like the crown complex.). Clearly some prop-betting was in order. I played Vanessa HU at the basketball shooting game thing for $100 and won by a reasonable margin (48-37 or so). Andrew joined in for the second game, also for $100 each, and I crushed them both (80-35-40 or thereabouts). +$300. Off to laser tag!

We didn’t gamble at all on the laser tag, but that was probably good since there was some local dude (teenager?) playing against us who was about as good at lasertag as I am at Modern Warfare or Halo. It wasn’t really fair, but it was fun anyhow.

Bowling followed naturally from lasertag, so we rolled a few games. Vanessa made a 1 on her first frame and then offered me a bet on the game. Naturally I had to offer her some odds because she started so poorly, so we settled on 1.25-1 on the game. I led off with a strike and didn’t look back, winning easily (113-85 or so?). We wagered again on the second game, except this time I gave her a 25 pin advantage and we bet even money for $10 a pin. She played better, and I found myself up against her 98 final score with one frame to go and 101 on the board already. I promptly rolled XX7 to blast my score up to 137 and book a solid $140 on the game. +$540.

Not bad for a day at the family fun center!
