    $10-15 on table games like craps (pass line & behind only, no sucker bets) blackjack, and occasional roulette.

    Just an expensive hobby but can u go broke?

    OF COURSE!!!!

    If your playing anything with a negative EV, you will go broke sooner or later, just at a slower rate if your betting small units.

      You can lose a million dollars easy bettin $5 black Jack hands, if you go once a month and limit yourself 200 that is ok.

            I say no. Basically if u go once a week u will win some and lose some. Over the course of a year, going once a week, betting minimums you wont lose more than $2000 and might win occasionally on the year. This is nothing if you have an income as it is basically breakeven opposed to going out doing other things.

            I say you can be safe if you just enjoy action, mingling at casino, and stick to betting the minimum.

              A person that doesn't play a skill game like SOME poker and is just a greenhorn gambler that wants to go to Vegas just once to gamble would be better to take 5k and bet it all on the don't pass line on the craps table.A one time thing where it was your first and last wager.That's the only way other than being a bonus whore that you can beat the casinos if you aren't a skilled gambler.What's the percentage of skilled gamblers and those who have inside info on sports-horses or are pro caliber poker players?Probably a fraction of a percent.Everyone else are rubes and fish.

              If you are a rube,fish or in the flock of geese that's ripe for the picking,look into Anthony Curtis's coupon-match play gambling.If you go to Vegas,scour websites for coupons,buy the annual casino guide and get every fun book and casino magazine you can when in Vegas and you will make money risking very little.You might get dirty looks from table players when you play match plays where they call you a drive by player that dissrupts the game.

                YES, I watched craps for 20 minutes and then played for 10. While watching, the table was normal, people hitting the number then crapping out.

                Then, a dude hit 3 numbers in a row, I joined the table and threw down $100. I only played pass line and then doubled on the number. Not once was the number hit, everyone quickly rolled a 7 and I lost $100 in 10 minutes, playing the min.

                Luckily, I was already up for BJack, so it wasn't too bad

                  Everybody that's really young that goes to Vegas for the first time does stupid things and loses money.It's sort of an initiation because no one showed you the ropes.I goofed,that's for sure.

                  Here's how to have fun in Vegas if you are young and sort of poor.Get alot of coupon books ahead of time.Anthony Curtiss online and the annua American Casino Guide.There may be more but those two you can't go wrong with.

                  Play every match play you can.Use every 2-1 or half price food coupon you can.

                  Never pay for a drink.Go to a busy casino bar that has 25 cent blackjack and stick a $20 in the machine.The bartender comps you a free drink.Kind of nurse the drink while playing the blackjack real slow.How much can you lose playing 10 hands of 25 cent blackjack?The bartender is busy and walks to the end of the bar,cash out and do the Snagglepuss exit stage left routine and do the same thing over again when you want another free drink.The only thing to watch out for are places like the Flamingo that have bartenders that all look like Pauley Walnuts and Frankie Leotardo or whatever the silver haired thug is on all the mob series and movies.

                  Play $5 4 leg sort of correlated parlays.I like playing big moneyline dogs and the over if the run line is low like 7.5 for baseball.You get a few hours of action for $20 if you play 4 tickets and usually the cocktail waitresses will keep bringing you Heineken's if you give her 50 cents for each beer.

                  You stand a chance of winning a few hundred bucks or at worst breaking even with NO RISK and you ate like a pig and drank like a fish for 4 days going back on the plane home with no less than you came there with.

                      Brent they will not keep coming with .50 cents. You need to give them at least a buck or two then they will come back for sure.

                      Ps. Hey Brent Just for info a deal at Mcdonalds is not under a buck any more either.

                      Times have changed since you were young.



                      I'll see you there

                                you don't have an edge over anything

                                you'd get buried playing penny slots

                                  No one ever loses at the casino if they bet the minimum

                                  Also its basically inevitable that as you watch your money flushed down the toilet at the minimum that you will raise your bet bc who the fuk wants to be down 400 and hit a 5 dollar blackjack

                                  PAINT IT, YEA BABY NOW I'M ONLY DOWN 392.50!!!

                                    Until recently the casinos in Colorado had $5 min and $5 max on every bet. People still lost plenty of money.

                                      why $5 max?

                                          No doubt durito, the odds are the odds if they're against you you're going to lose in the long run, only benefit to betting small is you will lose slower

                                          In answer to can you get buried, of course you can if you play long enough, if you play a few hours betting 5 dollars a hand no you cant get buried unless you were really close to buried to begin with

                                                      come on, onner. you should know better. you're making me look bad here. i trained you good, why do you ask such a silly question..

                                                      onner, no matter if you play 5 cents a spin OR 2$ bets, at the very end, they all go down. this is not a place to make money.. stay away onner.. no matter how lucky a person might think he is, it's only a matter of time before they go broke in there.

                                                      casino is not a place to try to make money.. the best thing to do if you like to go there is to just bring 40 bucks with you and if you lose it all, walk.. walk walk.. do NOT go to your machine.. and then the next week, you can go back again with 40$.. if you win, great.. if you lose, well.. it's like you went out with the boys to catch a movie, popcorn and dinner after.. same thing.. but casino is better because you were still entertained, if not more.. PLUS... you actually had a chance to go home with some cash.. unlike the movie.

                                                              You claim to hit 75% ATS at -110 in the NFL/NBA. It's kind of hard to tell when you are being sarcastic.
