TIL that in the early days of Fed-Ex, there was one time the company couldn't afford the fuel bill for their planes, so the founder took the company's last $5,000 and went to Las Vegas and won $27,000 - eviltoast

      Seems so absurd to me that there is an officially sanctioned game in the gambling scene that can be gamed by a skilled player to win, and they just blatantly ban doing that, and yet people still play it. Not the game is banned mind you, the winning through logic part. Cant have anyone make bank but, well, the bank.
