Oh My God !!!! That's twelve minutes of my life I won't get back.

To save you those precious minutes: -

"Failsafe Method to Win at Blackjack"
Drink alcohol to steady your nerves.
Play like a complete dick : Don't bother knowing or understanding Basic Strategy: Don't have ANY skill or system whatsoever.
Lose half your bankroll, betting hunches.
Stake remaining bankroll and win.
When you've staked your bankroll, click the option to add $1000 to bankroll (Well, it is the simulator)

The guy should sell all his possessions, max out his credit and take it all to the high rollers table. But it must be made into a movie.

Title would either be.
The Road to Ruin or
There is No Justice in Vegas (if he walks out with his shirt)

That was outstanding! Funniest thing I've seen in a while.

After some pre-gambling meditation and 3 vodka and tonics to loosen his nerves, the dude's first two plays were hitting a hard 17 vs dealer 10 and second hand hitting his hard 12 vs dealer 5 and then when he drew an ace, he hit again, to bust. Just outstanding. Lol

Funny line: after he finally won a hand he said " I can now probably count on things going my way and so I should bet more". -----Really? Is that how it works....Lol.

Also loved the hand where the dealer busted and he said "Oh shit". Took him about 7 full seconds to realize he had won.

yep...that Vodka tonic was doing the trick. :)

As for the 12 minutes of wasted life.....I may just watch again. :)

I had to watch it a few times too. it's so full of classic quotes. The best quote for me is the opener:

"I gotta admit Blackjck is not my favourite casino game. The reason it's not is because I believe the odds are probably the worst in a casino. I always win more money in roulette than I do in Blackjack."

I think he even claims this is 'real money' as well!

My guess is that it is a parody or a comedy. There is too much silly information up front, like the thing about controlling your bowels when in a casino. IMO the subject is a bit too dry for the comedy to be effective, hence the misunderstanding of the intent.

Sadly, he does a series of other betting vids and he does seem to believe in himself.

In his vid Beginner's Luck - "What It Is and How to Use It" he demonstrates losing 50k on a game where he didn't even know the rules.

I'd say he is destined to end his life sadly.

That was hilarious! How wrong can one person be in one video? Roulette a better odds game than Blackjack. Going against the warnings of what the proper play should be. Play and bet based on feelings. Just too funny.

Overall, he wasn't wrong though: He came out ahead. youtube proves it. I'm sure he ends up winning in all his videos except the ones where it's only for practise... At least the ones he posts to youtube.

I'm going to study every one of his gambling tips: He's 100% stupid and wrong, so playing the opposite strategies, I absolutely cannot go wrong. I will end up losing money, unlike him, but at least I'll know I did the right thing.


No, but seriously... he's an object lesson in how not to gamble.

That was my guess... but it's not done very well if it is. Then again, 90 views on youtube doesn't mean you'll be a comedy star.

My personal favorite is when he accidentally stand on 13 vs 6 and was like "holy shit that was a mistake because this is online blackjack" @ 7:00

He has a roulette vid as well. Not as hilarious as the blackjack one but still pretty funny. FYI double 0 roulette too and claims it to have better odds than blackjack LOL.

He truly did play badly enough. Many times the WOO simulator told him he was unwise, but he carried on regardless. One time he even hit the wrong hit/stand button, but went on to say that wasn't so easy in a real casino. I'd guestimate that with his demonstrated quality of play, he would have HE of about 5%

[Spits my JD all over screen and nearly chokes laughing]
So his system is to have a hunch that the ball will land on 1st 12, so he backs the opposite and bets on 2nd and 3rd dozen.
he hits a 9 and says 'Oh 9. that was not right !

At 6:15 "Since red is going so well - I scatter them around" Dropping £165 on assorted high reds.
Drat that Green 0


He goes on to bet 0 and it comes up...
Green 00 !!! "Oh. It was 00, but I went 0... So that was close"


In his final desperate roll he stakes $535 to walk away with an eventual profit of $34. Success. It's a wrap!

If these are his training videos, give me the outtakes every time. He's a candidate for the Darwin awards.

There are things you can do to tilt the odds in your favor... so he says. What I would give to spend a day gambling with him and tape it. Now that would be a show to watch.

He has shown a way to always swing the odds in his favour and I might try it myself:-

Only play with virtual money at a training or demo table.
Only upload to you-tube those videos where he finishes ahead.
But the one he hasn't considered yet....
Monetize the training videos by selling them as a training course or by placing paid adverts on them or use them to drag traffic to a monetized web site.
