There's a bunch of free image hosting sites. Imgur is a good one, PhotoBucket is another. For example, I use photobucket. I upload a photo from my computer or phone to the site. I then click the photo and click the link image above it. This gives me the "direct link" which can be used with the img tags that can be found here under the formatting codes section.
Playing it correctly means you've already won.

Ah, I was a moment to late =P. I also commented in your other thread. I'm glad you liked the trip report, and yes, hopefully some better variance next time!

newb519, not only for you, but for the benefits of all new comers, I copy below the instructions on how to embed photos onto a post:
I'm OK with Corps which pick and choose clienteles. Both insurance companies and casinos have the right to pick and choose customers. They may keep profitable ones and kicked out the rest. But, I'm not OK with a casino supervisor who says counting cards... is like stealing food from a buffet (a foodlifting offense), or video-taping a movie in a cinema (a piracy offense).

4. The link you've copied from the picture site. Paste that into your post here. Before it, type [ IMG= (but leave out the space between [ and IMG). After your paste, type a ] . No spaces in any of that. (we're typing it that way to let it show in the post. without the spaces, it becomes instructions and goes invisible.)
To copy something, click and drag over it so it highlights. Right-click and select "copy" from the menu that shows up,
To paste something, put your cursor in the box like you were writing a post. Instead, right-click and select "paste" from the menu that shows up.
Also, if you go back to your last post and click "edit", you'll see exactly how it's done - you copied a picture in Art's post.

Thanks BBB. Reading your answer sounds like Swedish to me. But I know someone who speaks Swedish that can show me how.

Hey Artemis. Thank you! You probably think I didn't appreciate yours and others helpful posts. I just had to ask someone how to interpret it. I was able to insert a link to a photo into a post (which I then deleted). But I'm not sure how to post the photo itself. Specifically, in the help section they show imbedding codes, or what are examples of imbedding codes. How do I get the code into a post? Do I just type it in, character for character? And if I copy and paste the link to the photo into the imbedding code will that do nothing since I'm copying a link to the photo and not the photo itself?

Hey Johnnie, sure. Just type in the embedding codes if that's easier for you. You said you were able to insert a photo link into a post. That's it. You are 90% done.
In order to finish up, you just type:
[lMG=
infront of your photo link like this: [lMG=http://i.imgur.com/t3No8op.png
then you type:
]
at the back of your photo link like this: http://i.imgur.com/t3No8op.png]
When you're done, your completed embedding codes look like this: [lMG=http://i.imgur.com/t3No8op.png]
You just hit the "preview" button to look at your photo. That's it. I hope you get it this time.
If you still don't know how to embed a photo into a post after this, then just give me your photo link. I will embed it for you later.

Well I spent about an hour paying my dues. Been playing around with this about an hour (on a few tries the last couple days). I can get the "link" to the photo into message, but when I place the link into the imbedding code what appears on the post is a small empty square. And when you click on the square nothing happens.

Edit: well, l spent about an hour paying my dues. Been playing around with this about an hour (on a few tries the last couple days). I can get the "link" to the photo into a message, but when I then write in the imbedding code in the front and the back of the link, what appears on the post is a small empty square. And when you click on the square nothing happens. Help, please?
Eureka!!!! I was starting to think this was The Twilight Zone. Spent another hour in Imgur Hell. Finally went to Tiny pic. Brought over the pic but had to clean up the characters to be like the embedding code.

Hey Johnnie, I'm at your service. You're in the right track. Your photo link is a bad one ("unlinkable"). That's why a small empty square showed up instead of your photo. Just try to get another GOOD photo link & try to embed your photo again.
Meanwhile, I'm giving you a GOOD photo link. You can practice on it.
Here is a Father Fahey's photo link:

In order to embed the photo, again, as I mentioned before, you just type:
[lMG=
infront of your photo link like this: [lMG=https://cdn.media78.whipplehill.net/ftpimages/225/photo/large_photo37987_235497.jpg

Johnnie, you'll get it as long as you keep on trying. Don't quit.

But, I'm not OK with a casino supervisor who says counting cards... is like stealing food from a buffet (a foodlifting offense), or video-taping a movie in a cinema (a piracy offense).

Well I'm trying to post my second pic. I go to Tinypic and there's my photo. What do I do with it? The first (and only) photo I posted was just hit or miss. Do I copy it? Save it? I tried both and when I go to post it, and hold down my curser (iPhone) I get the spoiler from the guy who's post I'm trying to answer. Why does his spoiler show up? What exactly is the procedure to get the photo to post, please? Maybe the key is not to post a photo when I'm posting as part of a quote that includes a spoiler.
Edit: Yep. I was able to copy and paste a photo on the Gambling Trivia thread. I guess that posting in a thread that is part of a quote that includes a Spoiler--that's going to require HTML 102. (I'll tackle that next semester.)

I think that's it. Perhaps it's best if you have to live here for awhile before you are allowed to post pics, I think pics requires 'links' to pics. The great green ones are trying hard, really they are.Quote: Dalex64It is possible that, as a member with a limited number of posts, urls are being stripped from the messages.
Tell us about the pic, in excruciating detail. Take a number of posts to describe it fully and properly. Fend off some abrasive comments from the gang that runs the joint. It's OK to get mad, just don't get insulting. Next thing you know we're in the middle of summer and you can link to any pictures you like (well, not really). But then you can prolly show us this one anyway!

Appreciate all the help. You are right about the very limited number of posts. I enjoy reading others posts and don't respond. The picture I was trying to post was of a "dealt" royal flush my wife got this past Friday at MSS in Las Vegas. It was actually her second royal in 2 days. Needless to say a very enjoyable flight back to Texas yesterday. Again thanks for everyone's help.

Oh, she had another Royal as well, in two days? Was that dealt, or a draw? What suit? Don't tell us she got DEALT 2 Royals of the same suit while you were working your 'Roulette System'. Say it ain't so! And save your pic, I want to see it ;-)
<edit> And flight back to Texas you say. Doubly sweet. The forum needs, hell the whole world needs, we need us some more Texans!

The first royal was spades, she got dealt four and drew the 5th, that was early Thursday morning. The one dealt to her was clubs and was Friday evening. Thank God it locked the buttons, she was shaking so much she could have forgot to hold one. I told her I had read that the odds of getting a royal dealt to you is around 650,000 to 1. We try to get to Vegas 4 or 5 times a year. Plan on retiring soon, hope to visit more often. By the way we love MSS. Have got to know many of the employees there. Makes the trips more fun when the bad cycles hit and you can have a cool one at the bar and b.s. with the bartenders.

I'm using Tinypic for posting pics. I've done several mock replys and previewed them and so can post photos. But sometimes I copy a photo and when I preview it it is a photo I mock posted and previewed earlier. Sometimes I click on a photo after I click on "Choose" and the whole Tinypic website closes. And sometimes when I click on a photo that I didn't take myself (an image I saved off the net) and try to imbed it and place it in a post, I'll get some prior photo that I was able to get into a post and preview that I took myself. I wonder if photos I take are posted differently than images that I've saved? I'll bet many of you can relate. But I'm making progress. Don't know why the whole procedure is so glitchy.
I hadn't posted a photo in a long time and so reread this thread and figured it out. Sort of. I'm pretty confident that I can take a photo and then post it. Older photos that are on my IPhone or in the cloud or saved images... I don't know so much.

In case anyone is wondering how I managed to do that: put the [ and ] inside their own square braces.
