You just nailed it.
[quote name="Dellp0ker624" post=48136613]I've read these stories and can totally relate to this degenerative life style. This summer my wife planned a vacation on a cruise which she was worried cause they had a casino. So I notice they have an electronic Holdem table ! Great so the first night the game fills up its a 1/2 nl game . So I wind up totally crushing everyone I win 1400 ! Great so I'm thinking great I'll pay for the vaca by playing here... Next night no game so I play bj I start small 10 dollars a hand ... Ten beers later And few hrs later I'm betting 100 a hand and occasionally firing table max 1000 a hand so I end up winning about a grand... It's such a rush betting table max and hitting... Next couple night go badly I lose all winning back and end up taking 2500 cash advance.... So I'm at the bj table the 4th night now stuck and steaming I'm down to two stacks of greens (1000) I bet it and get an 8/3 vs a 6 showing so I can't get any money but I can charge the 1000 to my room and get chips so I do that and I win the hand! Great but now I know I can get chips thru my room key and it goes on our bill! Great
so I end up on the trip charging a total of 2500 to my fing room and losing about 4k of my own money.... Worst vacation ever ! Wife was super pissed cause the charges went to her credit card .... Definitely the last vacation she books that have any casinos involved.... It's just treacherous going on vacation and getting buried like that .... The last 2 days there I was dead broke and totally wanted to jump of the damn ship.... Black jack is the devils game once u start u can't stop ![/QUOTE]<br />

This is how ALL degens operate. <br />
They are DESTINED to lose. I apologize for any insults.<br />
I really feel like I wish I can cure the degen, it makes me so angry.<br />
I felt "tough love" might help, that's all.<br />
It is hard to read this stuff.<br />
<br />
First, it is very easy to be ahead. In the short run, EVERYONE is ahead at some point. <br />
That is the entire basis of a casino game, to suck people in. In the LONG RUN, is when everyone loses. Short run, anything can happen. <br />
You can be up $1000 from a starting bankroll of $50.<br />
<br />
Then the reaction. Jolt of energy?<br />
When a non-addict wins $20k, he is just calm and satisfied.<br />
This is why degens are better off killing themselves instead of gambling. <br />
Same outcome. I could literally give a degen $10,000,000 of free cash,<br />
and the degen would lose it ALL before 24 hours is up.<br />
A true sickness. A degen can go to $120k and NOT pay off his 4k debt.<br />
<br />
As for "keep it on red", I'm talking about Martingale.<br />
But, Degen will KEEP on double down until he loses.<br />
Just moves to bigger stakes. Like you.<br />
<br />
Another fascinating look into the mind of people who are such addicted zombies that they will implode their lives. I can literally give a degen $1,000,000 and they will turn it into $50,000,000,000 and then put it all on black until they lose it. <br />
<br />
The degen can never win any money at gambling.<br />
He will just keep playing until he loses everything.<br />
<br />
He can hit blackjack ONE THOUSAND TIMES IN A ROW.<br />
He now has the entire world's money supply.<br />
What does he do? Plays another hand with his entire stack!<br />
If he wins? He now has TWICE the world's money supply at the table !!!<br />
What does he do? Plays another hand with his entire stack!<br />
Ohhh, back to zero, AND he forgot to pay the rent while he had the entire world's money supply. <br />
It is actually safer to be married to a serial killer.<br />
<br />
This is the degen bankroll.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here's how it works.<br />
<br />
Degen will have a nice win at a casino.<br />
Normal people will go on with their lives.<br />
Degen brings that $750 back next weekend, <br />
along with his rent check and uncashed paycheck....<br />
<br />
He will then put the entire $5,000 on Red.<br />
He will win. He now has $10,000.<br />
<br />
He will then put the entire $10,000 on Red.<br />
He will win. He now has $20,000.<br />
<br />
He will then put the entire $20,000 on Red.<br />
He will win. He now has $40,000.<br />
<br />
Now, degen starts using his advanced math skillz....<br />
The odds of 4 reds in a row are 1/16 or 6%<br />
But, red is HOT...so...<br />
<br />
He will then put the entire $40,000 on Red.<br />
He will win. He now has $80,000.<br />
<br />
The odds of 5 reds in a row are 1/32 or 3%<br />
But, red is HOT...so...<br />
<br />
He will then put the entire $80,000 on Red.<br />
He will win. He now has $160,000.<br />
<br />
Now, degen is smart. <br />
He's been gambling for years! <br />
This is his PROFESSION.<br />
He knows when to not push his luck, where others get sucked.<br />
The odds of 6 reds in a row are 1/64 or 1.5%<br />
<br />
But, degen is in that rare 1.5% of genuis psychic gamblers!!<br />
Where mere pussies would walk away, degen is going to RULE THE WORLD<br />
He will then put the entire $160,000 on Red.<br />
He will win. He now has $320,000.<br />
<br />
The odds of 7 reds in a row are 1/128 or under 1%<br />
Now, degen is smart. <br />
He's been gambling for years! <br />
This is his PROFESSION.<br />
Time to roll to black, like the genius James Bond he truly is!<br />
<br />
He will then put the entire $320,000 on Red.<br />
It comes red. He now has $0.<br />
Stupid table does't understand math!!<br />
The odds of 7 reds is like under 1%.<br />
<br />
BAD LUCK!<br />
Always BAD LUCK!<br />
<br />
Degen calls his mom so he can borrow $3 for a pizza for lunch.<br />
<br />
TL;DR: Don't ever go to a casino ever again, and your life will be better in every way.
