Zach saw the next card in the dealer’s hand, the King of Hearts. He was going to have 16. Hitting would likely be a bust; standing and the dealer was almost sure to win. It would be a setback for sure, and he was starting to wonder if he should just cut his losses. His losses were, however, quite significant.
He had gambled most of his money away fairly quickly, only to find a way to quickly get it all back. A shop on th side of town where you could literally “sell your body.” Zach’s was purchased by a chubby Asian touris for a substantial sum. He didn’t know her exact plan for it, but it clearly had something to do with a citizenship scheme.
His one hope to get it back were through local pawn laws, which allowed him to buy his body back for what he was paid along with an extra 30%.
If he walked away from the table now, he’d have the same money he had when walking in. And the only loss he’d have to accept would be his body. Or he could keep playing, but he might end up even further in the hole.
