Casino gambling fall in here!!!

[atlantis]

Hi bro silverfox,

thanks for sharing.

I have 2 scenario and need your comment.

1) Dealer has face value of 2 and my 2 cards are 2,2 or 3,3 or 44 or 55 and 66.
Which combo card I should split or double down?


2) If dearler has 7 and I have total value of 12 or 13 or 14 or 15 or 16. Should I surrender?

Thanks!!

That's a 16 credit win. Avg is around there for 30-1hr of game play.

If I see dealer has a 10 or 9, and I have 2 holes ( 1 is 20pts, the other is 17pts), I will surrender 17pts because 20pts is almost win in the bag, 17pts is neither here nor there. No one hits on this 17pts. Standing is not advantageous too. We have this misconception that dealer hits to 17 rule means 17 is a safe scenario, but we are wrong.

Dealer has 10, he draws 8,9,10,J,Q,K,A and total of 7 out of 13 scenarios are advantageous to Dealer. If draw 7 is draw. So left 2,3,4,5,6 only 5 scenarios. Let's say dealer bust on this 5 scenarios, we are still at a disadvantage. (And what if dealers draw 2,3,4,5,6 and yet draw a subsequent card and not bust)

17 is dangerous when dealer's card is strong.

I will take 20pts as win, 17 surrender half and total win 1/2 credit.

17 if I don't surrender, 20pts win, 17 lose, I have 0 credit.

It is very very tough to have both 17 and 20 winning at the same time when dealer has strong cards.
Playing 1 hole, 2 hole, 3 holes or more got difference and strategy is different. Ultimately is to maintain overall win if playing more holes.

Hi All,
Hope everyone are fine.
Just a little sharing. Went to IR again last nite. as usual, start with slots, lost, insert $$, lost again and again, then go home with long face.

I had do some thinking and calculation on my loses to share.
I always do full bet like 50 credit at a single press. Most of the time, the machine won't give any feature even though after 50 times. So, that will be equal to 2500 credits as capital. IF lucky enough, feature appears, still, it wont cover back your earlier loses of 2500 credit. After so many times of losing, my conclusion: slot will never win back my loses, never ever. Had read previous post by someone else about slot, i am now really believe casino is watching u while u r playing slots. every single one. I believe the machine can be controlled somehow, why? because unlike other games that comes with multiple players, the machine is only against u alone, of course casino has to win.
When i saw 2 out of 3 coins symbols that will trigger a feature, i was laughing to my self, because i know it won't trigger until i hit 30-50 times of my full credit, and yet i keep pressing it, dunno why. People might thought that i am crazy to laugh with the machine.
The major point is, most of the time i thought i would be as lucky as previous day, when i sit, press a few times and feature appear. It is only a coincident, my friend. No ones always lucky.
I saw jackpot prize amount like over 50K. imagine if i lost 2K everytime, 50K is just 25 times of losing. The question is, am i so lucky to win that prize among thousands to cover back?

I read what bro silverfox said about slot machine, indeed the sounds is only to lure u, break your concentration while u play other games.

Yes, Everyone that goes to casino should realize what is the bottom line of going to casino, is it for fun, or is it to win some extra cash? Most people will be naive enough to say it is for fun. For me, i want to win back my money, but end up lost more

Now i will promise myself no longer play slots machine, not even for fun.

My experience in bacarrat, To win few times is indeed not hard because player / banker always chasing each other in every single shoe. Write the previous result and sharpen my instinct, concetrate and look at the chase of banker/player, then bet selectively.

For all the players, a very good luck to u guys. Enjoy the game, If lost, it is only money, but life still must goes on.

These are very good advice.

I guess most of us are prone to the human instinct of greed, win a bit dun want to cash out and later tend to lose back or even more. :(

Taking it as a form of fun outing or recreation will be good. Of course with the money you can afford for this expensive hobby. :p

Whatever the outcome still remain happy. As you mention- Enjoy the game, If lost, it is only money, but life still must goes on.

For me, it's more like losing interest in the hobby..Is that good?
Better luck next year guys!

Hi bro silverfox,

I have 2 scenario and need your comment.

1) Dealer has face value of 2 and my 2 cards are 2,2 or 3,3 or 44 or 55 and 66.
Which combo card I should split or double down?


2) If dearler has 7 and I have total value of 12 or 13 or 14 or 15 or 16. Should I surrender?

Thanks!!

1) depends if you are playing 1 hole or few holes by yourself.
If playing by 1 hole 2,2 n 3,3 n 4,4 n 6,6 split while 5,5 you double down.
If playing 3 holes and you have 4,4 n 6,6 in 2 of the holes, I will not split either. Because split is to create new opportunities of doubling down. 4 needs, 5,6,7 to become 9,10,11 which can double down. 9 is weak double, 10 is strong double, 11 is strongest. So if going to split 4,4 and 6,6 both holes are in need of cards from one another.

4,4 to hit to more than 12, 6,6 just hit 1 more card.

2) dealer 7 no need to surrender because 7 for dealer is weak.

Hi any Texas poker...

I like playing poker at RWS and i play quite often. But Most of the time i have lost. So I make a study and did simulation myself at home. I found out that there are no way a player can win in poker unless you win jackpot and super lucky. But i notice that when i play with 6 players, most of the times i won .So I do simulation for 6 players and play with certian rule. I found out that banker will never win and only 1 or 2 players will lost and the 2 to 3 players will end up big win. So far my results are based on 300 round. Please enlighten me if you have experience. My rule of play is play every Turn and bet on Flop and river when my chance of winning is more than 50%. The chance of winning is calculated as outs x 4 which is a magic number.
Interestingly, playing with either 7 or 5 players win make all the player lost and banker sure win..

Thanks

Did u simulate the pair plus bonus as well?

 

[HUmble10]

bonus and jack ports are excluded.
Do u think sample size 300 rounds is too small? What i think is that sample size is reasonable as it is equivalent to plays for 24 hours. I have never seen in RWS where banker lost for 24 hrs straight in weedend. I dont have any idea for weekdays. But if you play for 7 players, all will be lost within 100 rounds that is too optimistic numbers.

I tried a new way of betting Bacarrat and it proves to work for me. Some tips for gambler that always find themselve losing:

I noticed and wonder why many and most people like to follow the herd. Yesterday I tried to play against everyone and I won most of the time.

Also you can try always betting against your will i.e. If this round you think it should open "Player", then you bet on "Banker".

Good luck !

Hi bro Silverfox,

Just a couple of question. In blackjack is it allowed to surrender when we have 12 pts? Or is there a rule of minimum point, say, 15/16 pts? Is MBS allowed surrender that? Sorry, i was not reading ur previous post. Really appreciate ur answer and a very good luck to u for post X'mas winning!!!

 

[Heart Break Kid]

Just to share my encounter playing in MBS over last weekend.

I joined my KTV lady friend who called mi down to MBS and to play Pontoon light blue tables (min $25) in L1 with them and there are other few other KTV girls and a mummy with a group of guys look like their customers.

Initially I lost about $500 but this mummy lost everything she had so she went to ATM & draw cash. In less than an hour, this mummy lost another $1,000 and I managed to win back the $500 after grabbing a couple of Pontoon.

This mummy was in bad mood losing then an SG or Msia guy like her bf stuffed a stack of $50 notes for her to gamble. I believe to be $500 cash for her to exchange chips. This mummy lost all again and my KTV lady friend who lost $300 went to Nest with mi for a break.

To my astonishment , this mummy asked my KTV lady friend to get a loan of $1,000 from mi even my KTV lady friend also shocked and I told the mummy her politely I cannot loan her the money.

Then this CCB mummy got angry & make some nasty comments behind my back & showed me a black face. I only known this mummy after patronising her joint once. Wah she expect me to lend her $1,000 my KTV lady friend apologized me. Never mind I let it go since I break even on that night.

The moral of my story is never spoilted all these KTV sway lang by offering them money to gamble even she is your gf I cannot understand why men who patronised high end KTV always behave like that and acted like heros trying to rescue this KTV mama-sans when they are losing badly

Saw many people playing Pontoon instead, so walk over and see.

Advantage Rule
-Hit 21 points get money first

Disadvantage Rule
-Dealer hit on Soft 17.
-Doubling down on soft cards only gives a 1 and not 11. Example if A5, you double, A is considered 1 pt only
-Surrender when dealer has 10 and he gets a blackjack, he will still void your surrender.
-Lack of 10s in the deck. So it makes Doubling down and Splits disadvantageous for players.

And the worst thing is more people playing pontoon than blackjack.

Last time in Genting Malaysia, you cannot find a blackjack table in the common gaming areas. Blackjack tables are only in the International Room. Pontoon tables plenty.

Despite the above, I saw a lot PRC women love to play Pontoon in both RWS & MBS but in Blackjack I saw mainly local or Msia players :p

 

[Heart Break Kid]

You are wrong. Many people have the wrong impression that pontoon is a "better" game to play as compared to blackjack just by looking at the crowd difference between the pontoon tables and blackjack tables. Enough said.

Use eyes and see better than talk with words. Anyone in RWS or MBS can verfiy this statement and can even throw my statement off whether there are more people playing blackjack or more people playing pontoon.

Disadvantage Rule
-Dealer hit on Soft 17.
-Doubling down on soft cards only gives a 1 and not 11. Example if A5, you double, A is considered 1 pt only (So no point doubling down on soft cards unlike Blackjack)
-Surrender when dealer has 10 and he gets a blackjack, he will still void your surrender.
-Lack of 10s in the deck. So it makes Doubling down and Splits disadvantageous for players.
This is the reason why pontoon is lousier than blackjack.

If you can think of reasons of which pontoon is better than blackjack, please "share" here.

I can only think of getting money paid out for hitting 21 regardless of whether dealer has blackjack. And most of the time when you get 21, whether get money first or later is not much of a difference. The difference is not enough to supercede all the disadvantages in pontoon

I agree with the above reasoning but I grabbed a Pontoon Ace-Picture,
I received a 3-2 payout immediately and the PRC KTV women look so excited

PRC women always perceived that Pontoon is designed to be more exciting & fun-loving than the dull Blackjack

 

[simonon]

why gambling live when you can win much more online.. I would never play without a good bonus offer again.. I did a few years ago and it was a big mistake.. But fortunaltly I read some online gambling articles and learned a lot from them.. And a nother advantage is that you can play a lot poker hands too

Hi Bro Sliverfox,
I'm new in this forum which u I respected the most. I hav read the whole threat about gambling n I findout that what u say is vry true. I myself hav gambling for 20 over year n now in a vry bad situation then I can only blame myself for no self discipline
