No I'm not at all. I like the suspense of turning the cards. I like roulette for same
Reason suspense while it spins But All this is getting old to me and not as fun as it once was. I want to start doing other stuff instead of gambling

Booked. ;-)


I only asked, because after several years of dealing baccarat, I've come across probably less than 5 non Asians that really like it. Do you keep scorecard and study it like a complete idiot fish?

Try craps, its a fun game. And if u practicing shooting. u can hav an edge on the casino

Hmmmmmm, very interesting. Please tell me more...

I dont use the scorecard at all. Sometimes I do watch for trends and try to catch a streak though. I agree, there are very few non asians at baccarat, and only slightly more other races at pai gow. I think casinos like mohegan, foxwoods make most of all their money off the asian population from NY. Once NY gets casinos in a few years, they should expect a big drop in revenue.

Explain to me how the last few baccarat hands affect the outcome of the next one.

Is there a way to see what kind of notes a casino has on you in their system regarding your play? Really curious how I'm in the books at a certain casino. I'm guessing it's an inside job but curious...

Dice setting, obv u hav to practice your grip and tosses to get an edge. Invest in a shooting box or table at home and practice. This is prolly only advantage ull hav on any casino games, unless ur counting cards at BJ and dont get kicked out.

Considering a degen to LV...got an email asking if I was considering a trip to contact them (Mirage) so I emailed back asking for airfare for 2, hotel and meals. Based on the reply it sounds like if you dump everything to them they may give ya a ride home...

Thank you for the reply. I’d be happy to help.

Typically airfare/discounts aren’t considered until after the trip is complete. If your comps for “said” trip are within limits we can discuss it at that point. However accommodations and food comps can be set up front based on your history.

Let me know if you have any questions, or if you’d like to plan something.

My minor degen story: got paid today, took $300 that won't kill me to lose (but is certainly not extra), to play 1/2 at Venetian in an effort to run it up to $565 to play the WSOP casino employee event tomorrow. Lol.

Well I played 2.5 hours and won $3. Everyone (including myself) is just so nitty.

So i decided to give freebet blackjack a whirl, and that was the most tilting gambling experience of all time. I've lost more money a billion times, but the combination of super slow and sloppy dealer, who ran hotter than ****, combined with super slow ******ed players, made it the worst ever. I really don't care if the other players play bad, but tonight it adversely affected me tremendously. Only one time did I end up winning where I would have lost based on them hitting their 15 against a 6 type situation.

In summary, back to the goddamn rail.

Here's how it works.

Degen will bring that $750 back next weekend,
along with his rent check and uncashed paycheck....

He will then put the entire $5,000 on Red.
He will win. He now has $10,000.

He will then put the entire $10,000 on Red.
He will win. He now has $20,000.

He will then put the entire $20,000 on Red.
He will win. He now has $40,000.

Now, degen starts using his advanced math skillz....
The odds of 4 reds in a row are 1/16 or 6%
But, red is HOT...so...

He will then put the entire $40,000 on Red.
He will win. He now has $80,000.

The odds of 5 reds in a row are 1/32 or 3%
But, red is HOT...so...

He will then put the entire $80,000 on Red.
He will win. He now has $160,000.

Now, degen is smart.
He's been gambling for years!
This is his PROFESSION.
He knows when to not push his luck, where others get sucked.
The odds of 6 reds in a row are 1/64 or 1.5%

But, degen is in that rare 1.5% of genuis psychic gamblers!!
Where mere pussies would walk away, degen is going to RULE THE WORLD
He will then put the entire $160,000 on Red.
He will win. He now has $320,000.

The odds of 7 reds in a row are 1/128 or under 1%
Now, degen is smart.
He's been gambling for years!
This is his PROFESSION.
Time to roll to black, like the genius James Bond he truly is!

He will then put the entire $320,000 on Red.
It comes red. He now has $0.
Stupid table does't understand math!!
The odds of 7 reds is like under 1%.

BAD LUCK!
Always BAD LUCK!

Degen calls his mom so he can borrow $3 for a pizza for lunch.

When is our 2/5 no limit heads up showdown legion? Anytime anyplace bro!

The sad thing is if I really was that degen and fearless I could have won at least 15k yesterday. My first roulette spin I bet 40 and won 215 then won 3 hands in a row baccarat. So you can see I'm not that crazy I just hAve a little too much fun

legion sucks.

trey parker and matt stone rule:

You fail at trolling just like you fail at everything else. gtfo.

Uh yea wouldn't that be 640,000?

Serious question, not to mock and even less to encourage your degening: do you feel like your gambly side could be used to gain an edge at poker? Sort of like a double down in bj except its a repot on a danger card river in PLO?

Main difference is obv that you're playing against other people and not against the house, allowing for way more bias to sneak into your thinking. But hey, at least you'd be playing something where thinking is an advantage.

wtf happened to this thread? Isn't this supposed to be about stories?

Ok, last April I was looking to steam a little steam off from work and bs, somehow I managed to have close to 12k to play with maybe even a bit more. Most likely it involved a decent amount of pay advanced from emoloyer. I was stayin at my friends house for the night took my dog , which he had abandoned to me a few months earlier, took her back to visit him and to leave her there while we did some SC Degen work. It was just a puppy when someone gave it to him and after it demolished a utility room in his newly rented house he decided he couldn't keep her any more. A week or two before I took her she knocks over a 25lb dumbbell standing on end perfectly onto my pinky toe fAK! turning the whole thing a darkish purple color. Decided to forgive and forget as he was going to send her to the shelter. She was about 6 months old at the time and a cute lil Bich glad I decided to take her.

So my buddy is a bit of a degen as well, not gambling just overall wastes money doing dumb chit, likes buying the bar a round or two on payday then stays broke for the next 29 days. He's basically my only friend at this point in my life known him over 15 years. The other friends from college etc mostly married by 29-30.

So we end up at the SC just out for the first time together probably in a few months. He's a regular drinker and weed smoker I'm a sporadic drinker and sometimes binge type drinker like gambling. He steady drinks the night on like usual I have several as well and am doing my normal horrible job of gauging how much how fast and what to drink. At some point the feeling hits where you feel perfect and instead of tapering off and bein cool that night like many before I plow right on through with no sign of slowing down. "I'm goin home buddy". So I take him around the corner to his house and head straight back for more. I hadn't drank in several months at the time and hadn't eaten much that day and at some point around 1am decided to head for the casino to bump it up another notch. This is the point In the night where I try to recruit any decent stripper who's willing to go down to the casino with me. Mostly you get those saying they'll go but they're just fos and wanting to string you on for $$ or those who have kids and can't. The others are ones who are willing to go but when you sober up wish they wouldn't have and less often the semi-hot or cool ones that go and it's fun. That's usually how it works and this night I ended up going alone to the casino.

its a 60 mile drive from that point and the next thing I recall is a highway state patrolmen leaning near my window asking me if I knew where I was. Tbh I had no clue, it was like being awakened from a dead sleep after being up all night. Everything from probably 11pm-1am was basically a blur or nothing then quite a few moments from this point on are clear. I tried subtly land quickly darting my eyes around the landscape at the highway stretch I was on and squinting towards a green sign in the distance....There was nothing but mainly interstate to look at in this section ...was about 40 miles from home and kind of in between any obvious city areas. About 3-5 seconds had passed and I rattled off a guess and named a city. The guy in a hugely overreacting way was like no that's where you're at!! trying to fk with me. Turns out the city I named was only about 5-6 miles south of where we were. It's basically the only city I could think of and I couldnt say no. Needless to say the casino trip was temporarily on hold as the officer continued to aggressively question me about whether I was racing a Nissan earlier and If I had been drinking at all. I said no to everything and was asked to step out of the car.....

Will continue tomrw...

And you'll sit right next to the stick and as soon as I see you start to go with your V formation or perpendicular 6's then look to manipulate the dice, you get one warning! Hit the wall with both dice. If not, you're done shooting.

Doing some live degenning gonna have to keep playin til a hotel room opens up. It's a disease

Contd
The cop cuffed and stuffed me then searched me and found my br in my pocket about 5900. Then he really get pumped. He began to provoke and try to get me to argue with him to help support his report. another cop showed up and they searched my car inside out. My mind started wandering about what if they plant something in the car as an excuse to confiscate everything I'm Fkd. They found nothing. Hauled me to the station. Car towed away and impounded. So luckily after being booked in I called and my buddy answered the phone at 5 or 6 am Easter Sunday. He drove the about 45 minutes and brought my dog with him for the trip. Pulled out my ticket and paperwork and was like whaaaat it showed speeding 47 miles over no seat belt open container etc.

So no license and got to wear an ankle bracelet indefinitely at the time. We eventually go the casino together I'm degennning the roller coaster, down 10.5 with last 3500 in the middle on player/banker. Win. Start playing v aggressive to get it all back. Get it all plus another 8. Buddy went to hotel room to sleep I played until content. He had lost it all about 900 and was stressin hard because he was broke for the next week or two now. In the morning he asked did you lose it I said yeah I'm out. Goes on complaining about how the trip was such a bad idea then after a bit I tossed the money in the bed he freaks out gets happy then mad he lost. I convince him to go back into the casino the morning we were leaving so we could squeak out a quick 2 or 3 hundred. I went down hard and fast trying to force a win. He had come up with a few more hundred and lost it too. I was back in full action at one point playing 2 hands of bj 3k each. Firing firing firing away like a mfr trying to now just get bk to where I was...tbc

So in a sick way I got what I probably really wanted. Even though I would have liked to have been able to walk in and win a few hundred and leave without any challenge I think i also deep down welcomed the uncertainty, having to overcome the odds and possibility of losing it all. We ended up having to stay an hour or two so I could get it all back plus maybe 900.

On the car ride home was feeling content that I had dodged the bullet. My friend was very upset still that he pissed his all away repeating why did I even come here. Saying he was screwed didn't have enough for rent etc. Not long after we left I said hey man here's 900 just take it it's no big deal. It was a lot of money for sure just to give away but I didn't really need it to pay any bills or anything urgent like that plus I knew that the inevitable may eventually happen where I take it back and dump it so what's the difference. The next 15 minutes we argued about just take it, no yes no finally I put it in his wallet and he kept it.
So we end up at the strip club near his house on the way back. Right away he's showing pictures from his phone to the girls of all the money scattered on the bed telling them some combination of lies about it. I show the stack to a girl I know and she's like I hate you. Make it rain in come on. When she was on stage next I got 100 brand new ones from the bar and watched her for a minute. When she started climbing the pole to do some crazy trick I held the edges of the bills like a fan and released and threw the stack up towards the 20 ft ceiling above her as high as I could. Woww..It worked perfectly the bills mushroomed into a huge cloud and came down all over the stage and around a few of the people sitting nearby. It was early afternoon so There weren't a whole a lot girls or guys there to cause a frenzy. Ahhhh another lost hundred, I get a little rush/ feel good like I just hit blackjack on a thousand $ hand. We didn't stay long but we ended up there again within a day or so and I watched my 900$ good deed meant for bills and living expenses slowly melt away on drinks and extra generous tips. I guess that could qualify as living expenses. We're about to leave again and he goes all excited, hey man hey hey, so this girl and her friend are gonna f me , they're horny they like each other I got it hooked up. For the record I'll go to the casino with a stripper for the company and even hang out a little if they seem cool but I don't fk with them physical like he was about to. Too paranoid about all the stripper germs. *Example: One day we popped in after playing golf it was about 2 or 3 in afternoon and we walkin blinded by the dark. This girl with a Russian accent starts molesting me at the bar literally before I can even make out her face clearly . Then she's doing this weird purring noise in my ear like a cat and wrapping her leg over mine. Anyway go away from bar and sit down with a vodka and tonic and lime squeeze my lime to death getting every last drop into the drink. She comes over again still "feeling it" puts her leg on mine cuddles up all close staring at the side of my face an inch away , purring again and then suddenly grabs 2 of my fingers I had just squeezed the lime with. Like watch this. I recoil as I realized they're going in her mouth and she proceeds to suck and try to swallow them at one point! Nasty! Now I got throat germs all over my fingers and she's squirmin around trying to play it off like her throats not on fire. Keep I mind that was the same hand I wore sweaty golf glove on all day and who knows what else.

So we go back to his house, one of the strippers ends up riding with us. Earlier in the day I had gotten the casino urge again called them up and asked if they would pick me up since I didn't drive at the time. So they agreed and I'm waiting on them at his house while him and the stripper are by his car, on his phone and laptop trying to book a room. They finally leave and then my guy pulls up in a nice suburban to head to casino about hour away. He agrees to stop at the mall on the way there. It's about 15 minutes til closing so I go in and come out with a shirt and a new watch.. I guess a feel good moment and a subconscious insurance policy and consolation prize just in case it goes south.

I'm lookin through the shirts and get a call from my buddy. He says they're at the hotel and the stripper bitch just took off with his cash and wallet and weed and his car keys and he's stuck at the hotel. So there goes the rest of my 900$ good deed down the drain. He's pissed as hell and bummin. I hang up say sorry and proceed down to the casino we get there around 10pm....

Good stuff, man. Keep it rolling.

gateman-> did you come up w/ the "blinded by the dark" line? if so (and even if not), that's an A+ expression.
