I bought a Rolex back in the days using press betting. I am not saying you are changing the odds, I am simply showing that betting more when winning over losing can net a profit.

Sure you bought a Rolex. And if you did, you gave back the value of that Rolex 10 times over using that idiotic system. The cards have no memory, period. The results of a past hand are no indication of what might happen on a future hand, period. Win 10 hands in a row and the odds on the 11th hand are the same as they were for the first hand, period. Lose 10 hands in a row and the odds on the 11th hand are the same as they were for the first hand, period.

If you don't understand even that much I'm sure the Luxor knew you well. They probably sent a limo for you just to get your clueless ass in the door.

I have no reason to lie, don't be a fucking asshole just because you don't agree with how I played. It worked for me.

You must be here in Texas.

When you've lost most of your money, head to Darrell's and order a special and some beers.


Haha indeed Elfinex. Darrells in Lake Charles? Whats the special? Will likely check it out!

Then why are you?

It's hilarious to watch completely full-of-shit people spew forth about their blackjack prowess. Always blackjack, nobody ever tries that shit with keno because they know nobody would believe it with keno. But they think with blackjack that they can convince people that they're smarter than everyone else and that their superior play or betting strategy gives them an advantage over the casino. BULLSHIT.

Your system is idiotic and guaranteed to lose in the long run. Period. That's not an opinion, it's a fact. And to be honest, your system is even worse than no system at all. The casino has the mathematical edge over every player on every hand, period. It doesn't matter if you've one 10 in a row or lost 20 in a row, there is no such thing as a hot streak or a cold table, the casino always has the edge on every hand, period. Any "system" that suggests raising bets on a hot streak, or raising bets on a cold streak, or raising bets if there's an R in the month or ever raising bets because your waitress has the same name as your 3rd ex-wife is going to lose more money in the long run, period. All you're doing with any bet-raising "system" is to lose your money at a faster rate, period. The only bet altering system that can work is to gradually reduce your bets until you manage to grow a brain and walk out the door.

Those are the facts Zippy and if you don't understand even that much about the odds and probabilities of gambling you should probably stay out of gambling threads. Noticing that you're talking out of your ass doesn't make me mean, it just makes me perceptive. You're wrong, grow up, read a book on gambling odds and stop whining.

Sports bar on 210 and 385. The special is the best po boy this side of the Mississippi. You'll want about 8, 9 napkins.

I work in the industry and we love the guys with the systems. Most of them continue to open their pocketbooks when streak ends.

Wait, the genius above says there are no such things as streaks.

Do you own a crystal ball that predicts the outcome of the next hand ? The only people making money on BJ are the guys selling books and videos on how to beat the house.

I live in LC and yes you will need many napkins. And you only get small bar napkins. Its pretty funny actually. Sandwich is really good. make sure to get it with the jalapeno mayo.

Salty, which casinos are you headed to? I like Isle of Capri to actually gamble. LaBerger (sic) and the Golden Nugget are too pricey and hard to get on tables.

So is this your first trip to Louisiana?
