Oops! The bid is $512 but you only have $60 on hand because you lost $511 after losing 9 games in a row.

Round 275: Money = $63
Oops! The bid is $64 but you only have $0 on hand because you lost $63 after losing 6 games in a row.
Round 276: Money = $0
Whelp, you have played 540 games, and you are broke. Should have stopped on round 271 when you had $571. Hope you didn't bet the yacht. Better luck next time!
