How can I get in touch with a loanshark? - Page 13 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

I usually play 2 hands of blackjack. Im a pretty good blackjack player but seem to fare much better when I am solo at the table for some reason.

It is an indian casino. They have singledeck and doubledeck as well. Blackjacks pay 6 to 5 and you can only double on 10 or 11.

Not sure if I am even looking for a loan anymore. Astronomical interest rates sound like trouble

At what point do you just start to face the fact that you have been getting gaped.

Sup,

What kind of $ bets were you making in your up and downswing? Do you have a bet sizing strategy? What is your general blackjack playing strategy at these 6-5 blackjack limited double tables?

These are the types of posts that make people call you a troll. You've been given serious advice, practical advice, silly advice, all sorts, and all you do post after post is seem to relish the attention and prolong the thread as much as you can without actually doing anything to contribute to it. Mind you, I find it really entertaining, but eventually people will tire of it and you'll be out of attention and still broke.

Is english your first language?

Anywhere from 25$ to 200$... I dont really have a bet sizing strategy but sometimes I martingale and it actually usually seems to work. I usually play basic strategy, I never take insurance, etc.

Sometimes I will stay on 16 against 7 or higher, sometimes I will hit.

I'm not complaining, I'm just explaining to you why you're being called a troll. By all means, loosen the belt and bring down the hammer. I really want a prop bet to happen.

Because Ive had a lot of winning sessions, and have been told by numerous people that I am.

But who really knows, who really cares. In the end I was penetrated.

blah, I was away from my computer and now it looks like im a dog, but I pretty much said I would earlier so would be dick to back out now so yeah, booked.

you already donate? I was gunna say we should just put it on black in sups honor and if it wins it goes to covering the next bar tab

If you need to earn extra $, you could do worse than check out this thread in BFI.

Many opportunities involve minimal investment and the rewards can be substantial. Anyway, it's something of a large thread so reading it will keep you occupied.

I understand that you don't have any capital to invest currently, but learning successful website strategies and implementation will take a while and hopefully it's knowledge that you can put to use when you do have some cash.

For those who have not availed themselves of the opportunity of some good laughs by reading OP's recent thread in OGG:

The thing that I feel people don't take into account is that each game is supposed to be an idependent event and when your hit % is over 56% theoretically you can win more than you lose.

They may end up taking off their belt while I look on in absolute horror.

I have considered switching the numbers up every time, anyone think that would be better?
Yes, I understand theoretically it shouldnt matter but lets be realistic.... its all about the numbers that come up. Also for some reason I have noticed that when the numbers 1 and 80 come up early, they seem much likelier to come up again the next time for some reason.

This may be a pattern we could use to our advantage.

Also I just went on live chat to request my full game history, I am going to tally how many times each number came up and I will post them here.

I believe its possible this game may be worthy of further analysis.

That guy only exists in movies. In reality, the corporations that own casinos have bankrolls that are infinite relative to yours, and all the games have the numbers in their favor. There's only one way it can turn out if you keep playing.

Crazy isnt it? A perfect blackjack player can cut the house edge to less than 0.34 percent and yet it is basically mathematically inevitable that in the end the house will savagely take off their belt.

The casinos are backed by Satan himself.

Each hand is pretty close to 50/50 and yet noone wins in the long run.

Noone finds this a little odd?

no, no one finds it odd that something that happens slightly less than 50% of the time, ends up happening slightly less than 50% of the time in the long run
