but why play agsint them when you can take weak players through the cleaners?

That's my philosophy.

Haven't read super system. Might get my hands on a copy of either it or the new one.

Exactly, that was the point I made earlier - find the weakest table and relieve the players of their money.

KH, I highly recommend it. You can pick it up pretty cheap - maybe $25-30. Best poker-related investment I ever made.

I think I've worked out all the basics on my own, e.g. why to never play a weak ace at a large table etc.

It probably still has some tricks I haven't thought of though. I'm definitely considering it.

I bought a casino poker game. I played the first 5 games of the experiment. It is 38 numbers and the pay off for a number is 35 to 1.

Risk $5000
Target $1000
Bet $100

First game win - $1000
Second game win - 2000
Third game win - 1500
Fourth game win - 1200
Fifth game win - $3200

Of course I need to play more, but Wow!

you're using all your luck now and when you get to vegas you wont have any left

[Kidlicious]

Maybe, but I think there's something there that improves my odds.

I'm planning on going to Reno or Las Vegas to gamble so big bucks. Well big bucks for me anyway. I want to win of course, but I want to plan to win. I already have a good plan and I'll post on it soon, but until then you guys can help me out with some ideas.

I thank you for providing for my employment.

The fact is, your money is my paycheck.

No. Card counting doesn't work anymore. They use multiple decks. There is a way though. I didn't say you couldn't lose, but there is a way to plan to win.

some casinos only use 1 or 2 decks. very small one's off the strip. you can make money playing blackjack (just not a lot of it). But you have to follow the rules. They are mathematically proven to work.

Ok. Here's my plan. I'm going to take $5,000 to the casino. I picked this sum because it's the most that I'm willing to lose at any risk. The risk to lose it will be very small though. I plan to win between $500 and $1500. I plan to play Roulette 100 times with $50 chips, and bet that $50 on one number each time. However, if I win between the first and tenth time I will quit. I will also quit if I win three times out of that 100 bets.

Here's what I have for probabilities so far.

Probability of winning 1 out of 100 bets = 1/31^100 = 96.2%
Probability of winning 2 out of 100 bets = 1/31^100/2 = 80.6%
Probability of winning 3 out of 100 bets = 1/31^100/3 = 76.5%

What do you guys think?

roultette

on second thought. Go play roulette. Be sure to play at the Frontier though, and support my paycheck.

It's you guys who give me a job. Think about it.

I've won lots of money by not gambling, all the money I would have lost.

hmm, I'm agreeing with a communist twice in one day. this can't be good.

But I'm not here to tell people not to gamble. I need to earn a living.

[LulThyme]

yeah i know a lot of ppl who work in Casinos.
And it helps the economy around here I guess.
I still have never gambled and never will in my life (not because of religion just because I dont see why)

If you have $5000 to blow, consider buying cotton futures. The cotton crop is about to get devasted.

What about orange juice?
