    He thinks Mirage is one of the "big boys" when they have jelly in the belly. MGM/Mirage won't even move their totals during the CBB tournament--they go to a moneyline which only serves to confuse the squares as to why they have to take un145 -130 instead of un143.5 or un143.

    If someone has the initiative to do a search for this topic and bump them all, I'm sure the entire front page of players talk could be filled.

    Being a math junkie and major, I tried to see what my best statistical odds are.

    Here's what I think can be profitable. Please tell me if I'm wrong.

    My Plan: Place $2 on 32 numbers on a roulett board, with also a $1 chip on 00(just a number I like.) So my total invest is $65.

    If I hit on a number I make $72. That's a $7 profit every spin. There's a 85% chance i hit on one of my numbers (I put $1 on 00 because that seems to hit for me alot, so instead of losing 65, i just lose 30.)

    Now I realize betting 65 to make 7 is very risky, but it's all about increasing your odds with me. Blackjack is 50/50 and unless your counting cards, there is really no way of knowing your percentenges. At least with this you know there is a 85% you will win.

    What I will do is play 3 spins to make $21($7 a win). I'll stop and come back to it again a little later in the day. Hopefully make $21 and then stop. I'll come back again for the 3rd time and make $21 again. I'm up 63 in one day.

    If I happen to lose 65, I will then just take away one of my numbers and my 00 and make $10 a spin. I can make up my loss in 5 or 6 spins.

    I've found that by splitting it up in 3 intervals rather than just sitting down for an hour straight is better.

    What do you guys think?
    Albert Einstein once said:
    "The only way to win at roulette is to steal chips,
    while the dealer is not watching."

    for a short period of time you can win something,
    but in long run it's almost impossible.

    I'm in + from casinos in my town,
    and may be I'll be in + after many years,
    but I play rarely.

    Take it from someone who's been there and learned the hard way. Stick to the books, get a good job. You don't have a bankroll.

    Its no wonder that 99% of gamblers lose.

    Romo, stay away from online casinos (brick and mortar casinos as well).

    If you want to make money gambling, you have to gamble against other people who know less than you do about what you're gambling on. Its just that simple.

    Amen one of the best posts of all time.

    The two most critical things are 1) Strength of the play and 2) Risk Management.

    When I have a chase loss.....i simply divide the loss into upcoming chase
    series until the loss is absorbed and off the books.....this is usually a very
    short timeframe given the high win percentage of a successful chase sequence.

    Then, I simply " rinse and repeat "

    Are you chasing the NFC winning the coin flip 16 years in a row? 99.9% of the time you will get your money back chasing what happens when you lose 20 games in a row? It will happen and you will have nothing left. Give it time the casino isn't shutting down

    And that's the cold hard truth but loss chasers never believe it can happen .. until it does

    You can't beat the the maths of the game without an edge

    I've tried to tell many of them but they never want to listen.

    It's only a matter of time before they get cleaned out.

    Nothing much left to be said on this topic. Yes it would take an obvious bankroll, strict discipline and at least a 60% win percentage to succeed.

    I'm not a Star Trek fan but Mr. Spock would have made an excellent professional gambler. Having no emotion might be the most undervalued asset. Never smile after a win nor cry after any loss. Believe logic prevails.

    Never forget this is a business and a very lucrative one for the other side.
