Going to a casino next weekend and might actually gamble this time.
Wondering what the spurstalk community thoughts are of gambling games, and reasons for liking.
Normally I puss out, play slots, and when I win buy a cigar or a bottle of scotch or something. Is it true that blackjack is the one true game a player has a mathematical chance at beating the house at? Gimmie some info, fellas.
I only play blackjack and sit at the slots for a while, mostly because I don't know how to play the other weird card games, roulette, or craps.
The house advantage in blackjack depends on the house rules and how many decks they use. Craps and probably baccarat have the next lowest house advantage. If you have a good handle on how to play, craps is definitely the most fun.
Blackjack under certain rules I believe you can have an expected win vs loss percentage of around 48-49% (w/o counting cards) if you memorize the correct moves to make in every possible situation, but who's gonna do that? And you're still going to lose money, as you lose more than you win and you can't ride out a bad cold streak. As for counting cards, any table that uses few enough decks to allow anyone but an incredible genius to count cards is likely going to offset that by paying 1.5:1 on blackjack and other crap like that. If you like gambling, then cool, but those lavish casinos weren't built by people making money off their trips.Going to a casino next weekend and might actually gamble this time.

Poker.
If you learn the basic rules of blackjack, you should be able to last a few hours without losing your shirt. Just look at it as spending, not losing, money for your entertainment time and you won't be too butthurt after being down fifty bucks but drinking some fraction of that for free.
Video poker is the only machine worth playing for any amount of time as you have the tiniest amount of control over your chances. It's nice if you can find one that pays more for two pair than jacks or better. Always play the max since the payoffs are usually multiplied at that level. It doesn't happen all the time, but I made $105 off a nickel machine when I was near the end of my gambling budget a couple of Vegas trips ago.
If you are really trying to make money off of gambling, buy some stock in a casinio or get uber good at poker. I have neither the a en nor the patience for the latter.
dont play blackjack unless youre a doctor, your dads a doctor, or you grew up in the country club, if you do- QUIT if youre up or down 40 bones, otherwise you might as well cut your off
play some poker, slots, video poker and craps
I wouldn't go into a casino and play blackjack cold without having as thorough a knowledge of the game as can be gained outside of a casino. If you do decide to do so, don't be a rube and sit down with $25 or $50 at a five dollar table and expect to stay around long enough to learn anything. A sufficient bankroll is, I believe, somewhere between 22 and 25 hands worth of betting cash. I usually sit down with $200 at a five dollar table, and buy in with $100. Occasionally, I have to do a second buy of $100 to keep playing. Usually, I play on the first $100, or I play on house money, which is the goal.
The most important things to learn are:
Go into a casino with a set amount of money to gamble that you can afford to lose in total, and don't bet even one penny more to try to win it back. Don't ever walk into a casino with money you need that month for anything other than pissing it all away at the casino.
Yeah I have a thing against gambling, I would never lose too much money and would always go in with a set amount to spend. Just curious what games ya'll play.
If I were decent I'd play poker, but I suck balls at it.
Usually I only sit in front of the cheap slots get free drinks and stare at chicks asses.
What do you think about roulette? I have a friend that says always bet on black.
didnt realize you were old enough.
take 50-100 and spend it on blackjack. when its gone, its gone. DO NOT keep blowing money.
take extra money for vid poker/slots ebsides the money that you set aside to lose in blackjack.
I'm thinking of just walking in with my 100 bucks, betting it all on black, and if I lose, I'm done, if I win, I'll pocket the original 100 and just use the winnings of that to play nickel slots.
What game/stakes are you playing now Manny?
Bet on a sporting event you never watch then watch it.
I wouldn't touch roulette if there is both a 0 and a 00 on the wheel. Reduces the odds too far under 50/50 since both of those are neither red nor black.
Craps/roulette are fun because there is a lot of interaction with other people playing. And I've actually made a lot of money in Vegas off of roulette, but the odds aren't on your side.
Black Jack is boring to me in casinos but not hard to make some money.
Poker tournaments are fun and if you are good enough, you can win a fair amount of money off a low buy-in.
my sister went to the casino last week and the first token she put in the slots she won 10 grand
I generally pass through Vegas twice a year and in honor of Wesley Snipes I always stop to put $50 on black. I've lost that bet like 5 times in a row now. I guess I'm due for next time.
I'll generally play a hand or four of blackjack, but I never win and I get scared after losing a few hands, so I quit and just watch people I'm with, or puss out with all the elderly and poor people at the nickel slots.
I've heard that baccarat has the best odds, but I've never played it and really, I've never even seen a baccarat table that I can remember.
Craps all the way. It's not too difficult to make a few bucks and it's a lot of fun.
whats your problem with poker cbf?, youre smart at games and math and youve been playing for a long ass time brah
you do suck though compared to me, thispego, cReg and creil
just stick to the creil system
I have no idea how to approach poker from a mathematical or smart perspective....and I haven't played a long ass time, I've only played with ya'll.
The creil system? You mean be blindly confident because I know I will always get full houses, flushes, and straights to bail me out? It doesn't work for me.
you should buy a macbook pro and just play online omaha all day
blackjack and poker. Both fun and easy. But do learn some strategy. What casino are you going to?
roulette are the worst odds in the house suckers play this sorry Kori. Craps are if you know how to play your best odds.
I know that. That's why I said odds aren't on your side for roulette. But I've made significant money from playing it and it's fun. I still play it in Vegas when we go, but not as much as poker these days.
No Limit Poker at the late times of the night, lot of drunk donks throwing away money at these times.
Blackjack, don't play at stupid tables. I love playing heads up. Play your rushes, don't play scared money. Grinding is not the way to go in blackjack.
If you want to play a game that is fun and you can drink and be patient with it is LET IT RIDE. don't play the dollar bonus bet. A HUGE SUCKER BET.
