Double up all day!!!
I never heard you referred to as 'midget nuts'.
Thats a pretty standard move to try and double up. You never do it, ever. If you get up over 50 with him doubling you just made enough to make it worth you while to torture him a little, especially if he is being nasty about it.
This will irritate him just a little. He lost it betting its not your fault. Of course you can give him a chance to come with something and get it back but thats your call. I would say no we will play for $ 25 and you have chances of getting your money back assuming you are getting paid in cash at the end of the bets and you stand there with money in your pocket. I don't gamble anymore I get no pleasure from it but when I did and I was up I handled them, they don't handle me under any circumstances. If they wanted to quit fine. I will take my money and go elsewhere but I want my money after the set....no other way, otherwise they could be air barreling you and you are doubling? ummm No!
My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, "If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately." Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- "Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 44, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because this post gave me cancer anyway.
Now that is funny
Hilarious, I'm going with this, don't feel like doing any math today.

A few things.
Maybe you're just sore because you lost. I mean would you post if you won the third set "I just can't believe he kept doubling the bet, I hate winning his money!"
Were you forced to double the bet? Was there a doubling cube and you had to accept or forfeit the set?

As BlackBalled said, you gotta watch this it will only take 2 mins of your day. Bald Mike better get another job if he likes gambling that much.

LOL. Too funny. I think I might have cashed out after the first million
Heck, playing double or nothing for .01, that is just ONE CENT, if you lose 30 games in a row you now owe $10.7M bucks. Crazy
Tell someone you will play them some one pocket, someone that plays good, and you will give play them 14/2, and they get the breaks. So, they get the breaks and only need 2 balls.
BUt you will only play for a penny, but are willing to double the bet for the first 30 games. I bet most smart hustlers would walk out of the room not knowing they would be in line for the biggest pay day of their life

Do not follow this guy's advice! You might run into a player who is bored and figures worst case scenario, he'd throw $3 at you and walk away.
Then you are gonna have to come up with $38873899...or win a game.
Who's advice?. If someone said yes to my "penny" game I'd run for the hills. I just don't think most folks know how fast double or nothing adds up. And someone that normally plays for a $100 a game is NOT gonna play you for a penny a game even if you give up the HOLY HUNGARAN HONEY NUTS
But then tell them they just walked away from $10M and they will shake their head
It happend many years ago. It was 9 Ball game racing to 9 for $100 a set. I was stalling. At the begining of the new set he said double or nothing. Thought the bet was doubled and I came out of the stalling mode ,beat him in that race. I wanted to take $200 and quickly get out of the place to go to another place that night. He gave me only 100 $. I remineded him that he doubled the bet. He said that "double or nothing" did not mean it was doubling the bet. It seems he was quoting a commedian from a movie.
I went to another place and returned late that night and the guy did not want to play me anymore.
The owner of that place in that southern state ( North Carolina ) was very suspecious of me and he thought that I was a Con Artist from Western part of USA.
Since that experience, I learned to ask the people to speak in Proper English ( no street/ebonic/slang language) in every business transaction I entered into.
