Remotely Betting on Vegas Roulette: A Snapshot

February 28, 2010


Yesterday evening, I got a text message from my friend Melissa, who was visiting Las Vegas. On a prior trip of hers in 2005, I sent her $5 so she could place a bet for me at the roulette table.

Fast forward 5 years and a new iPhone later: I was making a bet in Vegas just by texting a quick message.

I snapped this photo because of how perfectly it encapsulates a small window of time: from Saturday at 4:35 PM until Sunday at 3:26 AM.

Thanks for the message, Mel. Based on that timestamp, I can only imagine at the fun that was had. Pics or it didn’t happen – okthanksbye.

PS: I owe you a dollar.
