I'd post the $2k in chips that I played on all weekend in Vegas a couple years back, but it includes a vape and I don't want to trigger anyone.

The real pro move is to bet the pass and no-pass line while playing the odds. At least according to this really really drunk guy that wasn't playing like that at all.

The best fun at the craps table is to subtly gently caress with the superstitious people. One very drunk evening a friend was on a hot streak and in his drunken stupor was proclaiming "Lets Go Giants" before every role. After his 3rd point the entire table at Excalibur was loudly proclaiming the same.

I started tipping 20% of my winnings to the dealer and they basically played for me while they played with tips. I came away with the same $2k I started with and I must have contributed $500 to tips before winnings. edit: probably three or four times that, actually. Over two days, I don't even know really.

Craps on the pass line is 0.1% in favor of the house and all I have to remember is how to throw dice and set down chips. Also you don't have to deal with other jerks at the table getting mad if you don't "play right".

Depending on house rules (surrender? double down after split?) the house edge can sometimes drop to a fraction of a percent. Unfortunately, it tends to be the European casinos that gave the good odds, while the American ones buttfuck you.

Dealers are paid poo poo, they make most of their money from tips. Winners tip, losers do not. Therefore, the dealer wants you to win. The dealer can't break the rules, but he can give advice if you ask.

Yeah, I get the advice part and that's not unusual at all. The part I can't believe is:Elsa posted:I started tipping 20% of my winnings to the dealer and they basically played for me while they played with tips. I came away with the same $2k I started with and I must have contributed $500 to tips before winnings. Unless poo poo's changed employees are not allowed to gamble at their own casino and sure as hell can't gamble at the same table they're currently in charge of running. Also don't buy that they comped you a room for tipping well when you're only gambling a couple thousand. You need to either be losing or winning a ton. My buddy hit a $10k jackpot on a slot machine and they didn't offer to comp us anything besides dinner while we waited for them to "confirm" the winnings.

purple death ray posted:Spending money on a concert is expected, you get an experience you can remember and share with others. If you "spend" money on gambling you are obviously losing, or you'd be making money, and what memories are you getting out of it? Some unwashed guy in Orange tinted shades apparently, with a poo poo eating grin as he takes your money. At least spend the 200 bucks on weed christ You don't lose all of your money unless you really suck, I generally break even or make a small profit, and weed is illegal

Saw like 50 new posts, was looking forward to seeing what new confession was so interesting...nope, just gambling chat. Poker doesn't really belong in the same sentence as things like slots though. There is a randomness aspect to it but it's possible to win consistently if you know what you're doing and playing within your limits. It's a pretty boring way to play though. That said, everyone I know who quit their job to play it full-time still lives at home and breaks even at best. It's one of those things where there's no actual skill barrier of entry and is solely about how much money you have, so everyone who sees Rounders or something thinks they can do that too and starts getting in over their head playing stakes way higher than what they should be.

I'm not trying to argue you won't lose money more often than not at craps or blackjack, I'm just saying playing craps or blackjack in a fancy casino is fun and worth dropping a little money on every once in a while as long as you set limits for yourself and aren't doing it all the time

It would be like gambling too! I could either become wealthy as all get out, become a cutthroat businessman oligarch and burn it all down or even just live a nice relaxing life in the middle of nowhere free from the soul grinding day job. One never knows. Spin the wheel - make a deal

Police Automaton posted:to how many goon millionaires are we up to now in this thread? Has anyone counted? It would be kind of interesting to see someone go through and count common themes, like being a millionaire, cheating on your spouse, having sex with a direct relative, being a nazi, aliens, etc. I bet there are very few topics that don't have multiple confessions about them, all but the most boring ones where you wonder why the person felt the need to even be anonymous.
