The best way to win into casino is this.
Go to a casino.
Get given free drinks, drink the free drinks.
Leave. Having had some nice free drinks.
I mean, I have a foolproof way to always come out on top at a casino, it’s a simple trick that gamblers will hate you for.
- Dress smart, it makes you look like an easy mark.
- Make sure to wear black shoes, polished to a shine, this will be important later.
- Own the casino.
- Ignore 1 and 2.
I have heard of someone who did just this but still went bankrupt multiple times.
A friend of mine went to Vegas once and we only got 2 texts from him in the group chat the entire time.
Day 1: I’m up!
Day 5: I’m down.
Why gamble IRL when you could instead gamble with stocks online and lose your life savings /s
Because stocks take time, casinos are almost instant.
Psst
Wanna buy some 0dte options
Just drop it in a spider and reap the 5% growth per year caused by new immigrants… er, wait.
I’d love to be able to lose three grand in a casino.
They usually have super predatory lines of credit you can sign up for, you know, in case you’re out of money and would still like to enjoy losing that much.
Yeah exactly. Not having 3 grand is no obstacle for them to get you to lose 3 grand!
Insane.
I thought it wouldn’t be hard for him. Maybe his brother Chris might have more luck.
Chris Peacock? Is that what a guy gets when he stands too close to the camp fire?
I’ve lived near casinos my entire life, and I can’t understand the appeal of the gambling part. Unless it’s the shiny lights. I like those. Those are nice.
People have an inherent inability to assess probability. Even with “safer” games like black jack when your odds are a little closer to 50:50, people will keep pushing until they have no money left. Bet it all 4 times and there’s about a 94% chance you lose it all.
When I turned 21 my dad (very rational guy) was helping me learn video blackjack, it was stuff like determining probability, risk reward, strategy (getting dealer to guarantee bust allowing us to play safely), just blackjack stuff
Some advice that will now stick with me if I ever go gambling again is, due to probability, losing any money you won and then some, is a matter of when. House will always win if you’re in it for the long game, so either quit while you ahead, quit once you’ve won $X, or quit once you’ve lost $Y. Always assume the third option will happen even if you’re playing smart
That’s the smart plan. Every time I’ve been to a casino (4 times I can recall) I had an amount set aside that I was prepared to lose and that would be it for me. A couple times I got ahead and just cashed out.
Your comment reminded me of another thing he said regarding that matter
Think of the money your putting in as what your willing to pay for to have fun
Your dad’s a smart guy!
Oh yeah 100%
There’s a reason the guy who whips out the terms of service to get a better deal is in charge of our families finances
The lights are fun when you’re drunk.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
