Being down $2,000 in ticks in the market doesn't feel the same as being down $2,000 at that baccarat table. It hurt a lot in baccarat. Also, the $7,000 in baccarat winnings felt like a lot more money than $7,000 in the market. Why? In the pit I was supposed to be working to try to make that kind of money, but in baccarat it was like free money. That means spending the $7,000 won in the casino was a lot easier than spending money made in the markets. The night after we'd won all the money, Conrad, Broderick and I met a broker-friend of Conrad's who was trying to get some of Conrad's business.
