    It seems like you hear a new gambling no no everyday where someone is a heel if they go into a casino and are inconsiderate.You watch the poker tourneys on tv and it's a topic of conversation about who performs a-hole acts.Splashing chips.etc.

    The one I did a few times years ago was getting in late in shoes on blackjack with a full table making larger size bets and playing very low stake match play coupons.Got yelled at that I was a drive by player.hehe!Why is it that when someone breaks into a blackjack game and screws up the cards everyone complains that you whammied them?You have to be helping half the players that might have gotten bad hands.Why don't you ever get a tip slipped your way in the form of a chip from someone you helped?

    If a dice player is on a heater and his girlfriend/wife walks up during his roll, I call my bets off.

    I have seen so many hot streaks end immediately when the girlfriend/wife walks up to the table and distracts the roller.

        I'm not one for casino etiquette, don't really pay attention to it that much. Sports betting though, a mans word is important, sometimes it's all we have. If you owe someone....pay up. If you owe someone and can't pay....then discuss it with them immediately and be up front about your situation.....in other words, be a man.

        I've had people in my personal life owe me money, tell me they will pay me on a certain day......only to have them disappear and not answer the phone all of a sudden. That pisses me off more than not being paid, the fact that the individual couldn't man up say he didn't have it. I respect people for being up front.

          Depends how you bust out, but this is good etiquette.

          Usually i just peel off another another C note from my stack, and keep it moving....

            never cheer againts a guy if you don't have money in the opposite side

            never laugh at somebody for losing

            this joint i frequented in nicaragua had this etiquette rules, if you didn't follow you were unwelcomed and/or else

            it's amazing how many gamblers have no class when it comes to the gambling game that supposedly connects us

                Iwinyourmoney, you're too fυcking nice.

                When I bust out, I say:
                "Lucky fυcking cunts, I hope you all lose everything you got"

                followed by
                "Good night ladies"

                  When I play poker and someone gets busted out I don't tell the guy who busted them "nice hand", I mean they won the fukin pot that's enough, I've been busted out of tourneys/cash games many times and I'm not in a "nice hand" kinda mood when the guy flips over a nut flush or higher set to empty my wallet

                    I was taught years ago that "nice hand" = "fυck you"

                      I'm talking about the other players at the table, yea when a guy gets busted and he says "nice hand" he does mean fuk you you lucky sob, but I'm talkin about when a guy gets busted and other players at the table who were watching the hand tell the guy who won "nice hand", I just hope those guys get fukin cold decked for the next year and all they hear is "nice hand" as they go broke

                        I freakin hate that. Some jackass fills out a parlay card at the window with 20 people behind him 5 minutes before kick off. I hate NV sportsbooks, glad I have an online account now. The government is missing out on a lot of online revenue....

                          When I place a bet on a dog I hit the return button with the left hand and when I place a bet on a fav I use the right hand.
