My weirdest experience was in a casino in Lanzarote. My other half and I bought 30 euros worth of chips as we went in, and played blackjack at 2 EUR per play. She wanted me to only twist on 16 or below, and pretty soon we were down to the last 2 euro chip.
So I decided to throw caution to the winds, and at that moment, something strange happened in my head, it was as if I went into a trance. It was almost as if I knew what was coming up - as each hand was dealt I either played or didn't, and if I played I was somehow completely confident, sometimes twisting on 18 or 19, often with gasps from around the table. I didn't lose a single hand until I had about 60 EUR, at which point the feeling abruptly left me so I stopped playing.
So we cashed in our chips, all except one 2 EUR chip which I still have, and had a nice meal out of the winnings.
I claim nothing about the experience. I expect it was just a run of bad luck, followed by a run of good luck, with some associated coincidental feelings. But it felt bloody weird at the time.
