I work and go to school so I don't know about going 5 days a week, but the reason casinos make so much money is because of dumb fucks who think they can go one day and win it big. Most of casino revenue comes from slots and simple mathematics can show you why you shouldn't play them. In Blackjack there are direct factors you can actually control, therefore making it the most logical game to play.

How much did you lose in the long run? :laugh:

gambling is an underrated art.

I believe Roulette is your best odds in the house. Odds of winning are like 48%. Somebody was telling that there are certain bets in craps that are actually better odds, but I've never played and didn't get what he was saying.

There's a 19 year old guy at Barona that does that. I don't see how that's possible. One all in hand and you lose your entire payroll.

It's weird how you've not put up a thread over the last while detailing your losses.

That's because a) I haven't been going to casinos in a while. b) I rarely lose money. Losing is for losers.That's why they call them losers, loser.

It ain't empowerment when whips are all they got. They crack whips, us negroes crack their skulls and carve up their brains with 5.56x45-mm FMJ. Who's got the power now?

I must be one dumb motherfucker then cause whenever I´m in a casino I play Blackjack too but don´t end up going home with 3k.
On the real though, casinos are fun, I expect to come home broke but have a great time while being there. It´s a reason to dress up (there is a dresscode here unlike in the US), have a nice dinner with friends and then go to the casino and get slowly drunk while playing. I don´t take that much money there cause I expect to lose but IF I win a little it´s good. Even if you win a lot, how often did you lose?

You just haven't gambled enough. One night I won $2GZ playing blackjack and I thought I was the shit, thought I had a good system, etc. Then a few years later I lost nearly a grand in one night playing blackjack. Thats when I realized why casinos make so much money. The odds are always in favor of the house. If they weren't you would see wayyyyyyyy more casino's going bankrupt, and way more people getting rich off gambling. You make it sound as if you have perfected playing blackjack down to a science which you have mastered. If it were that simple, you would have way more smart people gambling and getting rich. The bottom line is that when playing blackjack, you rely more on luck than anything else. Yes, you can better your odds by making smart moves and knowing when to hit, and what not, or if you are really good, by making calculations in your head. But luck always will play more of a role than skill when it comes to 99% of players playing blackjack. You may be one of those 1% where it doesn't, but I would take the bet anyday that you will go broke over gambling before you become rich and can quit your day job.

I start at the Blackjack tables with $20 bucks... Once I lose that, I walk away. I hate losing my money on gambling.

I don't know if it's considered "long enough", but I've been gambling for close to 10 months now. I've lost big hands and I've one bigger ones. In the end I've always ended up winning more then I lose though. I sure as hell hope I'm in that 1%, but I'm not counting on it. And you can gain an edge over the house if you card count (don't start about how its illegal, cause that is lie casinos like to cultivate). Anyways I haven't learned that (yet), but the biggest obstacle I see to people gaining money at casinos is that they don't know when to quit. I see lots of people win money then lose it all because they couldn't walk out the door. Greed is a mother fucker.

There is all kinds of ways that you can gain an edge...but still there is a lot that is completely out of your hands. First off, you can't help what the other people at the table do. Second off, no matter how smart you are, no matter what calculations you have done, no matter how well you can count cards, you never know the dealers card that is face down...and unless you have blackjack (which is pure luck) then you always have a chance of losing, because you can never know 100% of the time what that dealers card is. If you win a big hand, say, $1000, you had to put up that bet before you knew anything. Before you knew what cards you have, before you saw the one card of the dealer, before you saw the other players cards. Since you had that to make that bet before you knew any of that, that in itself is a ton of luck. You could get dealt blackjack and win $1500 on that hand, or you could get dealt 14, when the dealer is showing a 10. What do you do then? Well, the rule is you should hit. So you hit and get a face card and bust. What if you don't hit. Dealer has way more odds in his favor of beating a 14. Way too much luck.
Poker is the card game that can rely more on skills than luck. In blackjack, where you can never be 100% sure what the dealer has, there is plenty of times in poker where you can be 100% sure of what your opponent has.
Like I said, sure there are people that can beat the house, but the odds of being one of those people is so tremendously small, that I would take the bet with anyone, w/o knowing anything about them, that they will go broke before they will go rich when it comes to playing blackjack. The only time you have come up ahead is if you win, you walk away, and you never play again. But if you keep playing, you will eventually lose...that is how casino's make money. Why do you think Vegas does everything in their power to keep people on the floor gambling? Free drinks, no clocks, air circulating to keep you awake. If you are winning a shitload of money, why do they comp u all kinds of things like hotel rooms, free shows, etc? Wouldn't they rather kick you out because you are taking their money? Nope, they want to keep you as long as possible, because, the odds are in favor of the house, and eventually they will win.

Well there are no guarantees in life. In the example you give, that is the exact reason you don't bet big (relative to your bankroll). Good players are only betting that they win more hands then they lose (which technically you don't need to do if you double and split). One hand means very little if you are playing for several hours and over several days/weeks/months/years, whatever. As for poker, your right, you leave much less to chance and a lot more to skill. But the reason I like blackjack better is because you are playing against jut one person: the dealer. In poker you are playing against 4-9 players. If you look at it strictly from the perspective, the odds are against you.
-
go to the casino 5 days in a row. Play 5 hands of blackjack each day. Bet the same amount of money on each hand. Now at the end of the 5th day, I bet you are down. That shows you just how much the odds are against you, and just how much luck is going to play. I mean you could play 100 hands all night...99 of those hands you bet $5 a hand...at the end of 99 hands, you are down $300...last hand you bet $500 and win...so for the night you end up ahead by $200...but all due to luck. do what I said about playing 5 hands 5 days in a row betting the same amount each hand...then you will see how much skill you really have.

you don't gamble your entire payroll, just your winnings

I didn't read the whole thread because I figured there would be a lot of dumb shit in here.
You can't win playing blackjack long term, it's a fact and there is no "system". There are different variations of blackjack but it is usually the game with the lowest house advantage.
If you want to educate yourself on casino games and gambling: http://wizardofodds.com/
You think you have a "system"?

Damn...I made 2 bills playing Black Jack when I went to Vegas a couple weeks ago, but I was only playing for a couple hours. I've noticed, in Black Jack, there's almost always a time when you're up...So if you're good at knowing when to walk away, you CAN come out on top...it's all about knowin when to stop.

You CAN come out on top playing the lottery too if you quit at the right time, you can't win long term in any of these games.

LOL@comparing the chances of winning the lottery to the chances of winning in Black Jack.
It's not the point, I'm not saying it's easier to make a profit playing the lottery. You have a negative expectation in both cases and no matter how much you might be up or down on any given day, week or year, you will be a loser overall. You just stand to lose less in blackjack than you do playing slots or the lottery. You can walk away up in any game, but you will walk away down or often than not. It's a statistical fact.

You're just wrong. Seriously, believe it or not, betting systems (http://wizardofodds.com/gambling/bettingsystems.html) don't work. You can't beat a game that has a house advantage (blackjack has one of roughly 0.4%), it's just impossible.

Just another post of you showcasing your very lil lack of knowledge. The odds are against you in all games in vegas. The best odds that you have are roulette, when you bet on either red or black, or even or odd. Those odds you are even with the house. Every other game, the house has the odds. I mean, how in the world do you think casino's make so much money? If there was almost always a point where you are up, the casino's would get rid of the game.
Its this simple (but yes, very hard to understand when you are retarded):
Your first hand, you lay your bet down, before you know anything...you don't know a goddamn thing, other than you will get at least 2 cards. So, right there, on your very first hand...it is all up to luck that you will start off ahead. Even if you are a so called "skilled" player, you have no idea what you will be dealt...and not only that...no matter how you play your cards, you have absolutely no control whatsoever in what the dealer ends up with. You may play your hand so well that you end up with 5 total cards adding up to 19 (very fucking lucky), so then what are you going to do? Of course you are going to stay on 19, even you are not that dumb to hit on 19. And then you watch the dealer flip over 20 without having to pull a card.
The odds are against you every begining hand of blackjack...if they weren't the game would not be in casino's. So how the fuck, can you almost always be up, if this is the case?
If you are almost always up at some point, and not too greedy to know when to walk away, then why don't you just play blackjack for a living? You can play 5 hands of blackjack in 10 minutes. So according to your logic, if you are almost always up at some point, that would mean that almost always out of 5 hands you are going to win 3 of the hands. So why don't you go and bet $500 a hand, every day, 5 hands a day, and as soon as you have won those 3 hands, then why don't you quit? I mean, this is just such genius logic of yours, I can't believe other people have not figured it out? Why don't you do this NIK? Do you even have $500 to spend on a hand? C'mon, all it takes is 10 minutes a day, and you will surely make more than you do at your piss poor job. Why don't you do it? I swear to God people just run their fucking mouths. Its really easy to talk about stuff. Try doing it. I know that if I knew the great system of "almost always being up and quitting before I got too greedy" then I would definitely quit my job and just play blackjack.

The house advantage is actually lower in blackjack than roulette (http://wizardofodds.com/roulette). You are forgetting about the green spots (0 and 00). The house advantage is 5.26% with 00 and 0.

Get off my nuts and quit being a bitch...are you really still that mad over driving hundreds of miles to get beat in basketball? And yes, I do have $500. You were supposed to bet me that much on our basketball game before you punked out, remember?

LOL...I knew this dude had no idea what he was talkin about, with his long ass rant.
I never said that most people don't lose when playing blackjack. I said that there's almost always a point where you're up on the dealer when you're playing (not always). That doesn't mean you're gunna win 3/5 hands. It means that if you play long enough, there's a good chance you'll be up at some point. Most people keep playing at that point, cause they feel like they're gunna win more, or they feel like they're "on a roll", which is why casinos still make money off of blackjack (they make the bulk of their money from slot machines, so even if they didn't make money off of blackjack, which they do, they'd always make tons of money off of gamblers, regardless)...even if you play for 3 hours and you're up for lets say 20% of that time, that still means you're up...it doesn't mean that chances favor you....It's not rocket science...PeACe
