Advice Appreciated

[V3r1f13d]

What's up everyone,

Hey, recently I have been thinking about taking some cash that I could spare, about 10 or 15K and going on a test run in Vegas for a couple of days. First run at being a professional sports gambler. For some reason, I think I can really do it. Just stick with baseball, hockey and boxing. I dont mess with anything else. I've asked my closest friends and not one person has agreed with me. They know I play well, my family knows I can pick, but for some reason they all think my idea is completely stupid. I make a very decent living, run two companies, and support a family of 4. So the amount I'm taking won't make me, but it wont break me either.

Some feedback from those who have daily action, people that I can relate to, would be appreciated. Stupid or give it a shot?

try flippin' a coin 10,000 times with 50% chance of hittin' heads or tails.... ya just might be able to hit heads 4 times in a row, or tails 4 times in a row, but if ya track all 10,000 flips, I bet it comes out to 50% heads or tails (within .05%).... :th:

I don't know about ya guys, but every time I hit the Roulette table I'm always up.

This is how I bet when I play Roulette. I lay $20/$20 all night long on 2nd -12 and 3rd - 12. Payout is 2 to 1. The chances of me hitting this and getting paid is I guess 60:40 my way? My odds of hitting the numbers and getting paid out is higher, but my downside is that I have to risk more money.



:beerbang:

14 ways to lose $40= 40x14=-560
24 ways to win $20= 24x20=+480

560-480=$80 dollar profit per spin for the house. Of course this is virtual profit. Since it's not 50/50 it more like 59:41 in your favor over 100 spins you can expect to win 59 times and lose 41 times.

59x20=1180
41x40=1640

460 dollar lose over 100 hands or 46 dollars of actual profit per spin for the house. The house is 6 bucks ahead going into the bet. Roulette is the worst stay away from it. The other goofy games stay away from too.

I'm not getting into deviation but this system of betting looks real good at first because deviation of the dozens can be extremely large and go in your favor for a while but eventually it evens out and you lose and lose fast.

no shyt like that game at Caesars, called, "gimme your money".

total ripoff! :nuts:

I was there a couple of weeks ago and they had this one on one hold em table. You put $5 down, and you get two cards. If you want to play it you have to put $25 down. If you don't play it they take your $5. There is rip off number 1. Catch this, if you play it and the dealers cards dont total over 13 then there is no action and you just get your $5 back. If you like your hand you can put $50 down and if the dealers cards dont total over 17, once again no action. It basically ends up them slowly picking away your money $5 at a time.

[Q-Unit]

There are some knock-off games (games that the casino made up on their own) that have the worst odds in the casino, far worse than Roullette.

Roulette

It has some of the worst odds in the casino. That game and Keno are consider to be sucker games. If you play perfect Blackjack you could actually be up at the end of the year being a casual player. Playing 24/7 you'll be down at the end of the year and it's almost a guarantee.

Have a good one!!!
