It’s my birthday, so that’s why I always pick 14 when I play Roulette.

The number 14

I’ll play it until the number hits and then I’ll immediately pick it again on the next spin. Sometimes I just repeat the bet, but other times I leave all the winnings on in the hope of a massive payout.

I’ve hit twice in a row about 3 times now and it’s a total rush.

Some other quick facts about the number 14:

• It’s always my birthday – yes every year
• Dutch football (soccer) player Johan Cruyff
• A Truncated Octahedron is an Archimedean Solid with 14 Faces – who knew? and who cares!

I’d stick your own birthday and try out my lucky number 14, if it worked for you – I accept paypal for donations to the cause I have yet to define. Maybe a big fund that I can pack back to anyone who comments on the blog with a good number.
