How Many Chips Do You Own? (1 Viewer)

[MegaTon44]

We all know there are some sick mf'ers on this site, so let us see how truly batshit you are.

Please count whatever chips you own: clay, ceramic, plastic (in the end, all chips are just varying degrees of plastic anyway) and feel free to add any commentary below about your collection.

Thanks!

The fact that the poll begins at <5k says a lot about this forum.

 

[tulkas]

I was counting up and stopped when I saw the 5k to 10k range... don't even need to count 'em up to know that I should pick that one.

 

[Zmasterben]

...Goes to count chips...

Craaaaap...

Around 12k

 

[Perthmike]

I feel like a right rookie with just over 5k, and i've only just broke that mark after 10+ years chipping. Pathetic

 

[ReallyGoodUsername]

If you own over 10,000 please share the wealth and let those chips see the felt, thank you

 

[HeWhoWouldPun]

Where is the “not enough” option? Or is that implied by being a member of the forum?

 

[ADS Aviator]

Approx 4800....but I only started a year ago.

 

[Denali]

Easily over 20K and definitely under 30K. Been weeding recently, hoping to get below 15K. Around 7K are plastic roulettes so don't get too excited. lol

I had a hard time with this. So after recalling 5k chips I quit counting and chose 5-10. And then I started to remember more and more. Pretty sure I am real close to the 10k mark.

Not sure how people with crazy large numbers keep track of them. After a while it seems like you won't even know what you have anymore.

 

[Perthmike]

I think we need a $0.20c minimum price per chip bracket on this lol

 

[FordPickup92]

Chips I've bought or chips @Ben8257 and I have combined? ...lol

I purposely hide them from myself in my nerd closet so I don't have to think about how many I have.

There's over 11,000 chips somewhere in there. Good luck finding them all.

(Yes, I know the chips on the bottom are cheap garbage. I was young and stupid)

 

[BGinGA]

I don't know. A lot.

Was over 50K at one point, but then I tried getting the number down below 15K. I failed. Miserably.

 

[Rhodeman77]

A little over the 10k point. All my sets have seen play except my relabel set which is purchased, but I have not had time to actually remove any inlays of yet. By not doing so it helps keep me from buying other sets since this one is not complete yet.

There's always the garbage can to take care of them for you

You've bought over 20k chips since May?
Or did you have a bunch already?

 

[inca911]

It is a number that, upon hearing it, no normal person would ever say “oh, that makes sense.”

 

[Zmasterben]

I'm not too proud to admit that when I am really bored I build unnecessarily large chip structures with them.

Haha we had some casino royales and monte carlos before joking PCF ballpark 15k maybe?
No paulsons though the rest has been accumulated since joining!

I'm trying to go down (out of context thread here I come)... I peaked at just over 4K chips this year after only a few years. I'm currently at 2300 and aiming for 1900... now who's pathetic?

 

[RichMahogany]

I was talking to someone yesterday who was trying to convince me that his chips are nice, good quality, and expensive at $150 for the set

His jaw dropped when I mentioned how much I spent on a rack of ES2 T1000

 

[Psypher1000]

I own 46 chips.

 

[DrStrange]

I play every casino set in my collection several times a year except for the tournament set.

 

[allforcharity]

I know I'm under 10K but probably not by much.

 

[abby99]

I don't know. I don't want to know. It's a lot. Not as many as I want, but many more than I should have.

 

[MegaTon44]

Calling on the heavy hitters like @Godzilla28 and @pltrgyst (I made that 100k+ category just for you Larry)

The question of "How much money do you have invested in your chips?" is a whole other monster. Do @bluegill and @Changster even own chips that are worth less than $3 each?

 

[bsdunbar1]

Some sick puppies on here for sure.
Except for that @Psypher1000 guy, he seems to keep things within reason.

 

[FordPickup92]

What about @bluegill?

 

[FDLmold]

There's always those two racks I'd take off your hands.
