I worked as fire command in one. Watching folks get glazed over looks and forget to take heart and diabetes medication is no fun. I’ll say we had horse racing and that was fun to watch, I never bet on them. But being around the horses, jockeys and trainers and watching them race was fun.

It's bad to win the 1st time it's the worst thing that can happen because is seems like easy money, you hear about when people win but seldom if ever when they lose their butts. LOL

Last night I stuck in $100 and pushed the button once. Hit $325 and cashed out. Then lost $100 but walked out $125 ahead. Noticed a floor guy watching me. Theyll probly give me the boot.

Casinos have made me a lot of money, probably $100k or more... But I was being paid to build the stupid things.

I always laugh at how ridiculously picky they are about the structure... Once the sheetrock goes up they won't let anyone smoke in the building... Until they open for business. Ironic.

Not me. I lost a nickel once and didn't like how it felt so I am no gambler. I make my luck the old fashioned way.

Knew a guy at a plant I worked at years ago. Engineer like me but he was way smart, card carrying member of MENSA and quite proud of it. Went to Vegas one year and did pretty well. Thought he had a winning system. He planned to go back the following year and become a pro gambler if it worked out. When he went back he was confident enough to have a resignation letter prepared and in the hands of his boss to be turned in on a phone call if he was winning again. Lost his butt of course and was back at work the next week with his MENSA tail tucked.

Patience and control are the keys. I am very patient and I also have a limit that I hold to and once its gone so am I. I enjoy black jack immensely and can sit at a table for hours but I never push my
betting. I can honestly say that at the end of the year I am usually up between my Texas Holdum games and casino blackjack. But I don't play a whole lot either.

I dont have the luck to win big in one, I have won 600 once that's the best I did. I have a buddy who plays it big and wins big one year he had won over 100 grand, that's the best year he has had most years he win around 30 to 50 grand. Every time he goes its strait to the big dollar machines and bets max, he may lose 300 before he hits for anything great. He definitely has a problem with it but I guess it's his life and he can do as he wishes. He won 15 grand one year in November and told me he was going to buy everyone in his family a great Christmas present well come mid December I ask what he got he told me he lost most back to the casino.

I believe that's the system where you raise your bet if you win and lower back to minimum when you lose.
Keep in mind you'll have to have enough to cover any splits or double downs.

I play fairly flat where my bets are consistent. I might raise my bet once in awhile or play side bets more. Side bets are definitely the house advantage but when they hit they are great.

The trick to winning at gambling is walking away a winner.Very simple yet most cant do it.

It's separate payouts that build as you play they are at the top of the machine listed from Mini to Mega. So the Mini might pay $15 to start, a minor, major then mega payouts. A few months ago me and the wife did a overnight by Sioux Falls and a Lady not far away won $16,000.

You'll win big eventually so everyone needs to head to Vegas. Quick, easy money. Think of all the trapping supplies you'll be able to buy. Maybe a new ATV or Side by Side. Get something nice for your wife. It's awesome. Sure you might think youre loosing, but eventually you'll come out on top. Haha. Thats what I tell people because i like having no state income tax haha


If traps work like the Antis say......I would have no fingers.

Amen to this, how many times I was up a few hundred to walk away only a hundred up. You always try to keep going and win big but it usually doesn't happen. Set an amount
to be up and when you hit it leave!!
