Casino gambling fall in here!!!

[kelvin]

lets look at two extreme real scenarios. say, today, IS your Lucky Day. You bring S$1000, place full amount on first bet and win. Thus, you now have S$2000. Second bet, you ber full amount again and win again. Now, you have S$4000. Final Third bet, you are damn Lucky and win again. So, you collect s$8000. Your profit is S$7000.

Next scenarion. very Unlucky day. you lost initial capital S$1000. you join queue to withdraw money. say you withdraw whatever amount and lost all of it.

this is the lesson and consequences of gambling.
thus, i Always say, do NOT be greedy, bet within your means and stay focus and disciplined.
GOOD LUCK.

in the long run, the odds will always be against the player. thats how casinos make money

Hi silverfox and sohbuckkiong
I don't play blackjack that often, but I have done a few experiments and found that I normally break even. What usually happens is that I start off winning, and then later start losing. When I am abck to my original stake (pool of cash), I leave the table. The few times that I tried this took me about 2 to 3 hours each time. I would always bet the same amount, no more or no less whether I just won or lost the hand.

The problem is that I probably should have left the table while I was ahead and perhaps go and do something else or go to another table. But I didn't and ended up giving back all my winnings.

Ok, you started winning and subsequently lose till you left your original stake and you stop, this is great, so how do you start betting from here, lets assume you continue to bet cautiously and luck was not with you and you begin to lose continuously and subsequently lose a substantial amount, so what do you do next. Lets assume you say "lets continue to bet cautiously and smartly" and luck is not with you and you sink deeper, so what are you to do next, stop or continue to play again..... etc etc..... So this is the problem with gambling.

In gambling, if you can win one million it means you can also lose one million. In roulette, black or red can come out 15 times in a row and is very common. In baccarat, banker or player can come out 12 times in a row and this is quite common too, so theres no way we can win in casino, the only system is to use the martingale but one need to be filty rich and moreover casino has imposed betting limits that prevent us from using this system.

For the mind to think that we can win in casino is the trick of our minds, thats why gamblers keep going back to casinos because they thought they could win but casino operators knows that we cant and we can never win them in the long run. Casino and gamblers or long running operators.

This is how the mind works :- With regards to roulette, Our minds says "aiyah where got so easy to come out zero, if come out also once in a while what! So lets bet black or red, 50-50 chance easier to win, if makan, dont worry, put again, where got so sway always makan" and so we bet more and more each time if makan. And so thats how we lost and lost heavily putting heavy bets believing that we will recover.

The above are all theories, the only way to proof whether we can win or otherwise is to be practical by creating all the different playing strategies one can think off and play to see if we could win. This I have done and the results I get is everyone lose no matter what strategies they use. Yes, everybody lose irregardless whether you play baccarat or roulette and no matter what strategies you use.

I will post the results here next time.

I'm not saying that we can beat the casinoes in the long run. I'm simply recollecting my experiences in playing blackjack and saying that I mainly came out breaking even after spending a few hours at a table.
Most of the time, I would start of winning and end up losing back, and would stop when I return to my original stake. What would I do if I started off losing and kept losing? Let's say I change chips of amount S$1,000. If I start off losing, I would leave the table when I have lost the $1000. No reaching into the wallet for another $1000. This limits the potential of really losing big.

leaving when u lose is the easy part. leaving when u win is the hard part. They are sooo many people who win initally but in the end lose it all cos they wan to win more.

For roullette lovers, usually we thought that it is wiser and better to play black-red as this gives us a better winning chance as opposed to betting in individual numbers. I did a finding (below are the datas) and it is confirmed that both ways lose in the long run and that we will lose less if we played individual numbers.

Again for roulette lovers, I have the following datas for you. The datas below shows the frequency of each number appearing for 100,000 games. It is very interesting to note that at the end of the 100,000 games rolled, the frequency of each number appeared are all about the same (around 2.7%) which proves that the law of averages are very real stuff in gambling. If we multiply 2.7 times 37, the answer is 100% (the total sum of 37 numbers)

I also wanted to know the frequency of a repeat number appearing and the results showed its average frequency as around 2.7% which is the same as the frequency of a number appearing.

hi all.. i'm new here. just happenned to read this interesting thread :p

anyway... in my opinion....in roulette, all game are independent. chances for any number to come out is 1/37, which is 2.7027027027.... %

for example, game #001 come out "7"
chances for game #002 to come out "7" again is still 2.7027027027.... %

even after 3 consecutive games of "7", chances for the 4th game to come out "7" again.. is still 2.7027027027.... %

This above is my point of every game is "independent".

Next, on the point of "gamblers... can never win casino...", seems that fellows members here forgot one very important point.

That is : the casino has almost unlimited supply of chips/money to fight with gambler. For example, a player can win very often... say he win 5k for a few days..... does casino feel a pinch ?? NO, OF COURSE !!
On the other hand... if a player... lose 5k, then 10k, then lose 20k... then most likely he will be in deep trouble.. soon he will begin to borrow.. with interest.

In life, luck is up and down, you can up by 5k, down 3k, up 10k, down 8, up 20k, down 30k... no matter how much you up, the casino will not DIE. But if you down 20k or 100k.... i'm sure.. you will be in big touble liao.

Today's newspaper:

I realise that there is a difference in baccarat play on cruise ship vs land casino.

On cruise, there is the
1)additional insurance bets on player or banker.
2)the $10 tables, they use single decks
3)banker pair/player pair is 10-1 payout, on land casino is 11-1 payout. so generally you win less.

generally to speak, the finishing of a shoe is longer on cruise due to the insurance betting. the faster the shoe ends, it is said the customer lose faster. thus by spreading with insurance bets, the duration lengthen and the customer will lose slower if he doesn't bet on insurance bets.
actually insurance betting is crap. if the cruise ship is losing money from insurance betting, they would have taken it out. in the event of a tie, they eat your insurance bet.

thus i feel insurance betting is a way of earning money for the casinos.

single decks reduce the house edge. for customers who can do some counting, should play these tables. i don't have a penchant for this, because in the world not many places use single decks anymore. normally its 8 decks.

yes bro... insurrance betting is crap. in fact, if you calculate the tax or the advantage that the casino eat you in insurrance game.. you will know.

let me explain,

#1. if you have 7 points (banker or player), the insurrance is 1 pay 4.
you see, if you have 7 points on player, the banker has 2 points, there is only 2 cards that the banker can draw to win you. therefore the probability is 2/12, 1 card TIE. right ? 2/12 = 1/6, which by right, should be 1 pay 5. but the casino only 1 pay 4. therefore, for this insurrance game itself, the casino tax you 20 %. correct ??

#2. if you have 6 points, the same calculation goes for above, the casino has 3 cards to win and 1 card TIE. The insurrance payout is 1 pay 3.. which is fair and tax free. the only difference is.. if you buy banker and has 6 points, there is a still a chance for you to draw a 3rd card, depending on what the player 3rd card.

#. the same theory apply to 5 points.

to summarise.. i find that , in the insurrance game, if the payout is 1pay 2 or 1 pay 3.. you can play. but for 1 pay 4 or 1 pay 8.. is not worth betting. because the odds are too small. and the payout is too little.

Next... let me talk about the BIG SMALL game. everyone should never play the "total points" or "correct number" games. the fair game is only BIG or SMALL.

let me explain. in BIG or SMALL, there is 6 out of 216 chances of "BAO ZI".. which is 1/36 chances.. that means only 2.7777% advantage to casino, which is fair for any game in casino.

but if you bet "112", the payout is 1 pay 50, which is not fair. for a dice game to come out "112" the chances is 3 out of 216, which should be 1/72. that means the pay out should be 1 pay 72 (without tax).... therefore, for the casino to only pay 1 pay 50.. the tax is too much,is almost 25 %

another scenerio, if you bet "234", the payout is only 1 pay 30. For any dice game, for the dice to come out "234" is 6 out of 216. so the fair pay out should be 1 pay 36 (without tax). therefore, for this kind of bet, even if you win, the casino already tax you almost 15 %.. right ?

not sure if my analysis is clear...... anyone has any comments to share ?

Big small i don't know much, so can't comment.
What you said on insurance is more or less than. my observations is people tend to buy insurance.
I can say at least 50% of people who play baccarat do not know how the conditions of baccarat works. Which condition to take 3rd card for player and which condition to take 3rd card for banker. Then when it comes to this insurance betting, more will not know how to calculate further. so if in the event you get paid 1 to 4, and the dealer pays 1 to 2, due to pace of the game, i can say these people wouldn't know.
So this part casino wins. The tax part is really too outrageous and the payout is not fair but still people bet on it.

You are right, the tax is too outrageous for the "insurrance game". We should always treat the insurrance game as an independent game, because, afterall, we are betting on the "insurrance card".

If you play insurrance , in the long term, you will lose.
The only insurrance game that you can play is when you bet player, and got 6 points, when banker needs to draw 3rd card, the casino will say 1 pay 3 for your player bet. As far as I calculate, this is the only "insurrance game" with ZERO tax.

For example, if your player got 6 points, banker got 1 point, then banker has only 3 chance to win you, that is banker draw "6 or 7 or 8", draw 5 is TIE. There the odds is 3 out of 12. the odd of 1 pay 3 is totally TAX FREE.

3 out of 12 = 1 pay 4.

ermm, if it is a tie bet, they will return u both ur bet and ur insurance money. Dont really need to condemn insurance bet. It depends on the situation how u going to use it thou.

For example u bet $200 player with dealer offering u insurance of 1 : 2. u can consider buying $100 insurance. cos no matter whats the result except tie, u win $100. no stress. Normally the players will buy 1 : 2 up till 1: 4. anything abv less likey for them to buy cos the odds of the hands going against them is less likely.

I seldom buy insurance too, cos it will "eat" into ur profit if u play insurance long run, unless i place quite a big sum. but as i say again it really depends on situation. if i am winning, i dont mind buying some insurance, cos no matter whats the results i win. (exclude 1:1 and tie)
