minnesotajoe on gambling H&R

| minnesotajoe Member since: Dec 18, 2010 Threads: 37 Posts: 148 | I am a firm believer in the hit and run... Go to casino.. get up a little bit of cash... book the winner and leave. Using the H&R, you will never have a HUGE win. I have heard and seen many instances at craps, blackjack, baccarat tables, where players go on sick rushes (buy in for 100$ run it up to 10,000$+) . When I hear stories about a player that are up 10X they're buy-in...people ask me what I would do.. and truth is... I can not answer because I would never be in that situation. It is agreed that it is very rare for a gambler to just get DESTROYED. Now I'm not saying.. player buys in for 100,000$ then bets 30,000$, 30,000$, 40,000$.. loses 100,000$ in three hands.. To me.. losing 100,000$ would be getting destroyed financially.. but in the gambling sense.. player only lost three bets.. not destroyed at all. What I am talking about is an average player buys in for 200$ at blackjack table.. Bets 10$ per hand and dumps 20 hands without a winner. THAT would be getting DESTROYED. Very rare to see that. The point of all this... (it is 3.14am where I am at.. and feel got all these thoughts I feel that I have to write them down here to try and make sense)... If a person gave me a fifty billion dollars.. told me to go to casino and win 10$ profit before losing the 50 billion$ bankroll... I would GUARANTEE I could do it. Now for me to be able to guarantee winning 10$.. well if I can do it once, I can do it again.. and again.. and again.. etc... Now what I am thinking.. a player could play.. get up 40$ profit.. and leave. or walk around... let the mind relax itself. With this mindset.. how can a person lose? to have a lose amount extremely low.. and win amount then leave not high? |

Winning is just a mindset... Go for it, dude, how can you possibly lose. One casino owner to another: "It would be so much easier if we could just hit them over the head, steal their money, and throw their bodies in the creek." Al Swearengen, Deadwood |

| FinsRule Member since: Dec 23, 2009 Threads: 50 Posts: 755 | I've had plenty of sessions where I started at a table with $100 and never was above $100, and lost it all. |

| 1BB Member since: Oct 10, 2011 Threads: 7 Posts: 379 | Losing 20 hands in a row may be rare but losing $200 at $10 a hand is all too common because you came to the table with an insufficient bankroll. I am benbakdoff -Member since: July 13,2010. |

I've seen some of these charts about "units" at a craps table as a function of "time at table", but those charts always refer to some jerk making only PassLine bets (usually without odds), no come bets much less come bets with odds, never placing the 6/8 and never tipping either the dealers or the cocktail waitress. Well, that seems to make the charts applicable to very few real players. Anyone know a reasonably sufficient BankRoll for one hour of craps at a ten dollar table but doing PassLine with Odds, about two ComeBets with odds and a place bet or two as well as a few tips now and then? Odds would be at least 2x. |

| SOOPOO Member since: Aug 8, 2010 Threads: 49 Posts: 1304 | Joe- I can assure you that when I sit down at a table after driving or flying to the casino, and win my first hand I am not thinking about leaving with that extra $20 in my pocket. I never go to a casino to try and make some small amount, but rather, I go to enjoy the game, the competition, and the time spent in those endeavors. And if I happen to win, then that's a bonus. |

| dm Member since: Apr 29, 2010 Threads: 14 Posts: 699 | Sorry - the site posted this twice, either to make me look stupid, which I'm not, or because I actually did post a second time, having waited an exhausting time for the first post to take hold. If it took so long that I decided the first try never enabled, and hit post again, then the problem lies elsewhere than with me. Hey, it's FREE, so I'm not complaining (it may appear to the contrary, but you have never really heard me complain.) |

It would really help readability if you stopped ****ing up the quote tags in your reply. Your replies often look like they are part of the original post, which probably means people aren't reading them. I think you're just accidentally deleting the trailing /q with brackets around it. FWIW in this case I agree with you, the original post is pointless. "Life's a bitch and then you die. Or seven out." -AlanMendelson |
