Fishhead need casino advice

[pavyracer]

If I had 1000 points at the casino which game should I play and what my initial unit bet size needs to be if I was to martingale?

Thanks in advance.

Do I start with 1 point bets on Pai Gow?

It's a near break-even game % wise. I've been starting with 5 and martingaling it from there. Have yet to lose more than 4 in a row. The only downside is that the max on the table is 200.



I did Roulette last night and went up/down for over an hour, at one point losing 7-8 blacks in a row due to 1 green and the rest red. But, overall, it is a good martingale game as long as you stay with single zero.

According to a site someone just gave:


You have a 28.61% chance of winning a hand.

A 29.91% chance of losing a hand.


The rest is the tie probability.

Only a 1.30% house advantage is great when martingale is thrown at it.

Pavy, I'm not an advocate of the martingale system except in very, very rare instances.


One is better off using a 1-1-1-3 progression..........and more so in Baccarat.

In this "system"(if you want to call it that)......one wagers 1 unit after say the banker comes up twice in a row you bet PLAYER......if it losses, you wait again until two players or bankers comes up in a row again and wager 1 unit again on the opposite of what came up twice in a row..........if it losses again, wait until two in a row again and wager one unit again, if you win, you start from square one again, if you lose the third time in a row, bet 3 units on the fourth time banker or player comes up..............if that losses, start over again from square one.

THIS WILL NOT MAKE ONE A WINNER IN THE LONGRUN, but it is a very, very effective strategy for staying in a game with a -EV expectation and you will have many more winning sessions then losing............and is terriffic for building your rating/comps at a casino.

I had a good friend committ suicide by hanging himself in his hotel room after his martingale system went bad............and they ALWAYS WILL AT SOME POINT.


COULDN'T AGREE MORE, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING TO TAKE SERIOUSLY.........it should ONLY be done like Onner just did and that is to not extend it over 5-6 double ups and if one is fortunate to get up a little, get out and be happy with a small profit.

Just like a real casino, you will lose in the longrun. I would save your points and use it in the SBR Sportsbook.

Scalp your points out using a book such as REBATEWAGER is another way one can use their points.

ps-- Visited the HR today as I had to build up some comps for mailers and used the previous mentioned 1-1-1-3 system...........pocketed 2,100 bucks..........ALL LUCK OF COURSE.

Happened to me in the SBR Casino. Lost about 12-13 in a row. Went down 900+points.

One can and WILL lose 16+ in a row if one plays long enough............and it will come in a much shorter span then you ever thought.

Terrible system.......stay clear.

I'm willing to bet martingale betting wasn't the only problem your friend had...
