On my very first Craps Game, I decided that I didn't want to play Craps anymore, and I pressed "C and E," Thinking it meant "Cash Out/End Game," turns out that "C and E," is in fact a bet, and I lost. I remembered being confused and asking a Craps Player why the TITO didn't print out after I pressed the "Cash Out/End Game " button. He gently replied something like "C and E means Craps, and Eleven," and a 6 and a 5 came up, so you lost the bet.. Had you gotten 7/11, you would have won $100 on $12 bet." So, I learned the very hard way that "C and E " in Craps definitely does not mean "Cash Out/End Game,"

Edit. Title should have read,"Biggest Gambling Mistakes You Have Ever Made?"

My biggest is probably discarding a dealt full house in VP, since the screen said "full house" and I thought the cards were held automatically (like they are on, say, Pogo). Yes, I am aware I probably could have called someone in and asked that the hand be paid.

I once saw someone get dealt 4 cards to the royal. He wanted to be funny and rub the screen. Unfortunately he discarded one of the cards while rubbing the screen before hitting draw. I thought it was hilarious. 🤣 On the plus side, even if he held all 4 cards he wouldn’t have gotten a payback anyway, so it wasn’t a huge problem.

When unlimited free drinks was a new novelty for me I was wandering the casino under full sail in search of “fun.” I was aware of my limited capacity and chose baccarat as a game suited to my current ability. Can’t screw it up, right? A few hands in I got distracted in conversation with other players and accidentally bet the tie. I only realized the mistake when I was trying to make sense of the large payout being pushed my way. I colored out, thanking my lucky star for the dumb luck.

Not me, but Mrs Mosca. We got to Borgata, and while I was checking in she put $100 in a 25 cent WoF machine. After two plays, the machine malfunctioned, and no matter how many times she hit the button it wouldn’t function. So she called the attendant, and discovered that she was playing a 25 DOLLAR machine. $50/spin = 2 plays for $100.

I told her that she wouldn’t have been pissed off if she’d hit the SPIN.

Playing vp last year, dealt four of a kind for $200. Hit all the buttons to hold and hit deal to collect. I did it too quickly and only held 4 cards and only 3 of the 4 of a kind.

IIRC, all 10 cards in VP are "dealt" in advance - the card you receive when you discard a particular card is not affected by what other cards you discarded, or how long you take to push the "draw" button.

you were playing a Craps machine.
They (most I have played and seen) have a specific button for cash out, just like video poker does and slot machine.
a REAL Craps table does NOT have a cash out button. you tell your Dealer you want to cash out and wait for their instructions, knowing where the dice happen to be.

NEVER wins on a 7 (SEVEN) this is a very POPULAR MISUNDERSTANDING of the rules of the C&E bet. NEVER win on a 7.

lots of MISINFORMATION HERE that really needs to be cleaned up.

many drink too much when and after they play in a casino (especially at craps) and think they know-it-all when they actually just drank too much and "don't know squat."

Some of the misinformation and inconsistency you refute is because LS went back and edited her post. Her original claim was that she pushed a button labeled "C" (not "C&E" or whatever she says now) thinking it meant "CashOut". She didn't go back and fix every related fact in her story, which sounded bogus to start; now that seems even more likely.

The whole point of the story was to start a thread, IMO. It would be best to disregard the nonsense and learn something about the poster, which is what I'm doing.

Thanks. I meant to say this, but didn't know there was a state regulation for it. Great reference!

I have been told, by someone who programs such things, that the remaining deck (only one) cycles randomly, endlessly after the deal, until holds are selected, then cards are chosen at the instant the "draw" is pushed. This would seem to confirm that's the correct and legal way to program it.

Playing an old VP machine, I didn't notice I played a partial bet by accident on a few coins bet on the last bet before the credits ran out, but the bad part was after I reloaded cash, I forgot to hit max best and hit a RF with only a partial bet a little while later.

Don, Are you saying that is one of the biggest mistakes? Because that is not how modern day poker machines work. Modern machines are continually shuffling the remainder of the deck while you choose your hold cards.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

My biggest gambling mistakes have involved an affinity for orange. In 2008, I took Clemson at 50-1 to win the national college football title in July. They opened as seven point favorites versus Alabama on August 30. Yes, seven point favorites. I had gotten a real good futures number, and those 50-1 odds were long gone by the time the first game kicked off. As I recall, Alabama ran back the opening kickoff for a touchdown, and it was downhill from there. It wound up a 34-10 blowout. My futures bet had lasted about 10 seconds, the time it took for Alabama to run back that opening kick.

A few years before that, I had taken Clemson at 100-1 and 120-1 to win the college hoops title. They started off something like 16-0 or 17-0, and those odds were long gone two months into the season. Well, it turns out they couldn't handle full court presses and couldn't shoot free throws, and they blew about six games with double digit leads and fewer than five minutes left. They collapsed so hard, they didn't even make the tournament.

Orange, as they say, was the new red for me.

One of my biggest gambling mistakes was in my first 6 months of AP'ing. I educated someone who was about to leave town that night after they found no sucsess looking into AP here. They had had some sucsess in a niche gambling area in different state far away that was no longer viable. They just happend to run into me one night and asked me a simple question that lead to more. I made a deal with them thinking it wasn't a big deal, I didnt see the downside. They never honored the deal that should have been many thousands of dollars. Worst than that, they were like a bull in a china shop and they did lots of damage for years to come, and occasionally he became my competition. He also pissed off a lot of other AP's and it was embarrassing to me. Of course, they too did businesses with the guy after I warned them not to and they knew better. He was very successful. I hear he is doing nothing but banging whores in some Asian country and living like a king.

Biggest mistake has been not going in huge the rare times I've found some huge edges.

A few years ago found a position that was +50% edge on a game and only made low four figures. Found another game that was about +10% and was a little hesitant on it and only made around $100 to $200 per week until it was gone. There was one time I found something even better than those edges and did bet as big as I could ... of course the position I did take lost (getting 10-to-1 betting a game early that ended up closing around even money).

Back in the late 90's, I was at Harrah's Tahoe and after a good night at the craps table, I cashed out a couple hundred ahead. It was late, and I may or may not have had a few beverages. On the way to the cage, I figured that I would play one hand $25 of BJ, so I threw a green chip down and got my two cards. I scratched the felt for a hit, and the dealer looked at me like I had two heads, but never said a word. So, I tucked my cards. At showdown, he flips my cards, takes my money, and shakes his head.

To this day, I have no idea what game I played, but it sure wasn't blackjack!

Not casino gambling, but risking money - when I was in my early 20s, I got a bonus at work. it was about 25% of my salary at the time. I let a coworker talk me into buying stock options with the whole amount. The options were trading $0 @ $0.20. So $0.20 to buy, $0 to sell. I bought them, immediately got cold feet, and sold them back the minute my coworker walked away. I sold at a $0 price. And then I had no money.....

One time way back when I was a gambling noob my wife and I were playing some JoB VP, she cashed out and went to take a bathroom break. She comes back and starts banging away on the machine again.

An hour later I look over at her screen and it’s double bonus poker, the screen reset to another game screen when she was gone and she didn’t notice. Miraculously she managed to stay even while playing JoB strategy on DB for one hour.

I got overly cocky with a Blackjack hand that seemed almost to be a sure thing. I had a 20, Dealer had a 10. I thought,"This is a near perfect hand! I've basically got this in the bag! "Dealer ended up with another 11, so naturally I busted.

if this is your biggest mistake you ever made , for a blackjack pro that's pretty good. Perhaps you can ken try harder to find something worst.
Na,
than that would be bad.

I got overly cocky with a Blackjack hand that seemed almost to be a sure thing. I had a 20, Dealer had a 10. I thought,"This is a near perfect hand! I've basically got this in the bag! "Dealer ended up with another 11, so naturally I busted.



Truly these are the words of a blackjack pro.

Did you know 5% of different names in the Bible are just the same person showing up again and again? Yup. It's been going on through human history.
There's no secret. Just know what you're talking about before you open your mouth.

if this is your biggest mistake you ever made , for a blackjack pro that's pretty good. Perhaps you can ken try harder to find something worst.
Na,
than that would be bad.



It wasn't a Blackjack Pro yet at the time I was talking about. That was early on in my Blackjack playing.

Biggest mistake I made was 2 years ago in sports betting. I am a sports bettor who follows the service, Bettingresource, and I usually spent about 5 minutes a day doing my bets once I receive the email from them. I received the full stake pick email where I bet $5000 on each of those games. They had a Pick on New York Mets +110, I was in a hurry and I accidentally placed the bet on NY Yankees at similar odds. I didn't realize the mistake until the next day. Mets won that day and yankees lost. There was another incident where i made the same mistake by placing the bet on the wrong chicago team but it didn't affect the results since both chicago won that day.

Ouch. At least you got some kind of money back with the Chicago bet.

I think I have heard the term Miami bag before. Or maybe I am confusing things

Do you like the games Wolf Run and Coyote Moon? You really seem more like a slot pro than a blackjack pro.
I heart Crystal Math.
