My fiance won $125 at the slots the last time we were in Vegas. I wish I could make money there.

WTH is Baccarat?

I won $300 last time I gambled. ~$150 playing slots and ~$150 playing Blackjack.

The casino always wins even when they lose. She will be back there, and she will lose alot more than that amount over time. I dont wish it on her, but that's what happens. When someone wins, they almost always go back and lose.

I think you need a degree in gambling, and a minor in Craps, to understand that one.

I went to the casino with one of my buddies for the first time and on the first dollar he put in to the slot machine he won $60. HEHE on his first dollar ever spent at a casino, I thought that was pretty luckly, I told him it was probably time to leave so we both spent $10 and left. We were in STL for other reasons but, just decided to stop by the boat for a second to take a leak hehe.

hint: it's all rigged and they make sure the noobs win so they'l be more likely to come back, get addicted and lose big long term. You don't suppose they stay in business by letting everyone win all the time do you? I was in a casino once and saw the roulette wheel hit the same number over 10 times in a row. What are the odds? :Q

If you really what some insight on how those machines (and probability etc.) works, ask, because I make them for a living.

I thought the thread title said "My GF just won $800 by playing Starcraft!"

Too early in the morning for me :p

You mean people actually PLAY baccarat? Everytime I'm in Vegas, that room is empty with a dealer at each table sitting quietly waiting for a sucker... er... CUSTOMER.

Time for a bit of roleplaying: you play the part of a gigolo and she, the customer.

bwahhah. I'm really going to take seriously someone who has yet to learn english, and who hides his profile.

If I what some insight? Say what?

Yeah if I made those for a living I wouldn't want anyone to know my dirty little secret either.

Besides that j00=teh stoopid, I did ask! See the question up above asking what are the odds?
Anyway I was half kidding about the rigged part. hehe

Wow, I didn't realize my profile was hidden. I missed that checkbox when I set up my account, and since I never click my own profile I never had the opportunity to see that it was hidden. So sue me.

OMG I MISSED A WORD WHEN I PROOFREAD MY POST. I will now crawl under my desk and cry in shame. I think I meant want, not what. It's not like I'm the grammar police. Are you?

But seriously, I'm a mathematician for a slot manufacturer (I guess now that my profile is active you know which one) and if you actually think that what you posted before is how gambling works then
u r stoopid.
