To paraphrase from the "National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation", where Clark Griswald heads back to the blackjack table with a boatload of money, and the dealer says to him:
"I'll tell you what, why don't you give me half the money you were going to spend on a boat, we go out back, and I kick you in the nuts and call it even?"
Good luck, hope you get the boat you want!
