Bet it all!

The first time I came to Vegas a few decades ago I dropped about $1200 at the tables. As I was driving home and was part way back to California, I heard a deep voice (I was alone) whisper "Go back! Go back!" As I never had anything of this sort ever happen to me, I turned around and headed back not knowing what to expect.
As I approached the town the voice started again "Go to Caesar's! Go to Caesar's!" I pulled into the parking lot and headed to the casino. The guidance continued "Play roulette! Play roulette!" I am not a fan of roulette but was not about to debate with a disembodied voice. I pulled out a $20 and was about to lay it on black when The Voice spoke again. "Bet it all! Bet it all!" I had about $200 left which I needed for gasoline and expenses to get back to the coast. For the first time I protested and was reprimanded. "No, bet it all! Bet it all!"
At this point I figured what the hell so placed the entire $200 on black. I won. I collected my money and started towards the cashier cage. The Voice stopped me. "Bet it on #18! Bet it on #18!" I placed $100 on #18 figuring I would still have $300 to get home with if I lost. Once more I was prodded. "No, bet it all! Bet it all!" Reluctantly I placed the entire $400 on #18. The ball spun round and round, bounced a few times - and unbelievably dropped into the #18 slot. At 25 to 1 odds I now had $14,000. Wow! Now I seriously wanted to leave with some solid cash-in-pocket.
Once more the disembodied baritone voice whispered "One more bet! One more bet!" I returned to the table wherein I was instructed to bet it on #26. I put $1,000 on #26. The Voice again chided me "No, bet it all! Bet it all!" It was all too dreamlike so I did as instructed and placed the entire $14,000 on #26. The croupier had to get special permission from the pit boss to accept such a large bet, which they did. The croupier flicked his wrist and the steel ball circled like a hawk looking for prey. The ball bounced three time then dropped into #26 and then bounced out and landed in #3.
The Voice sounded somewhat embarrassed as it quietly said "Oh, shit! Oh, shit!"

So what's your stance on 'luck' now? And do you still gamble?
-------------------- Everything is better than it was the last time. I'm good. If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

I play poker and backgammon not table games or only games where I have an edge through decision-making. Sure there is still a random element (luck), but it is quite different than pure games of chance.
That story was obviously my idea of a joke.
Played in a 4 hour hold'em tourney today and came in 7th out of 1016.
