When I first heard about this game, I immediately wanted to try it. The idea of potentially getting a free meal was exciting and if I lost, well at least I was paying for friends. Waiting for a card to be picked provides a similar thrill to watching the ball roll around the roulette wheel, bouncing over the numbers. Unfortunately, I've lost quite a few times at credit card roulette, which got me thinking about whether my card was too flashy or colorful.

Some places won't understand when you ask them to pick a card. When this happens, make sure the person holding the cards doesn't hand them your card saying 'oh you picked this one?' Yes, it's happened.
