Gambling

Can anyone here teach me, give me tips and/or perhaps give me a good link on how to gamble? I obviously know there's no sure way to win, or else everybody would be rich. I want to get into gambling. Sounds like a bad idea, but I really just want to know how to gamble so I can do it once in a while.

I would like to be able to know how to gamble on sports mainly, like baseball, basketball, and football. I'd also love to go to the casino and be able to play all kinds of games like blackjack, craps, Texas hold em, roulette, etc.

Can you guys teach me about everything I need know gambling please? In sports, what is a spread, a money line, and which one should I choose to bet? Which team do I pick?

With casino gambling, what are the best strategies in blackjack, craps, etc? What games are the best to play? Any strategies?

Help me pol teach me everything possible.

Also, is gambling red pilled?

Always sit at the last spot on a bj table, you have the power to give high cards to the banker
If the banker gets a five or six , you are odds on to win, so maximise your bets- don't draw on twelve or above
Gambling is blue pilled, cheating is not gambling

Stick to poker. Everything else is a sham.

learn math, game theory, and bankroll management then play poker for living

t. poker player for 7 years

great politics thread

I agree. well this and sports betting

If you could "get into gambling" casinos wouldn't be enormous

Research the Martingale and Grand Martingale systems of roulette.

You need about a $500 bankroll for the system to work properly.

It works (nearly) every time. You can make about $500 a day. But there's that one time you lose everything.

But I guess that's why it's called gambling.

Only play hold'em online, too much energy is used face to face.
Start with the lowest amount you can bring, and keep waiting for AK or pairs above J
I once had 22c at 7pm, by 4am the next day I had 3 tables open for a total of $3600
Remember you are (hopefully) playing other humans , learn what they do when they do, and keep chipping away at the odds

>What games are the best to play?
Research "house edge". It's basically a measure of how much money played in a given game casino/gambling operator takes for themselves. With lotteries it can be over 50%, machines have up to 20% (illegal ones can get even higher) while with traditional casino games it's usually under 10%.

>Also, is gambling red pilled?
Depends. If you want to make money from it, it's extremely bluepilled - save sports/other events betting and poker, the house always wins, while morons try to get rich quick actually it's some old gypsy enriching himself at their cost. At the other hand, Trump is in the casino business, so I guess it's ok.

no matter what system you use or what you play it comes down to luck. the game where the house has the smallest edge against you is blackjack and even then it will come down to luck, not to mention the dealer actively "cheating" to make you lose. try card counting, learn poker and if you're interested in sports or particularly good at predicting games try sports betting

Tried that once, on the one time that red came up over 20 times consecutively.
I had black and walked home.

does anyone have any trustworth webites? I've heard bovada from my cousin

Hello, gypsy, how are your scams going today?

That's like statistically impossible.

The odds of the same color happening over 10 times in a row is like 0.001%.

Even more than 5 or 6 times is pretty rare.

You must be an unlucky bastard.

Don't gamble at casinos. Invest your money like a big boy.

>it comes down to luck.

Maybe if you're anonymous, but in person you could play to lose some money and act a certain way just to throw people off and make them think you arent bluffing when you are, like fooling a polygraph test

I think the record was in Monaco at 26 times red
I'm sure I beat that streak! Croupiers are taught to cheat.fact.
And watch out on the bj table , if you get bad decks the croupier will 'lump' shuffle , keeping the run of bad cards together.- walk away

How are they taught to cheat?

Id rather play the stockmarket than play the casino, at least the stockmarket you can get insider info.
But the general.rule of gambling is walk away when youre ahead.

Bet on UFC fights

its way more exciting than betting on other sport games because it could end at any second and u never know whats gonna happen

so fun

Put it this way, why would the croupier lump shuffle? He knows what he is doing because he gets a cut. I mean a bonus.

>not being an online poker pro

you guys are fucking cucks

C U C K S

Should I say experienced,loyal croupiers are taught to cheat

very good thank you
i wasnt talking about poker, in poker you need both luck and skill, i was talking about every other game

Penny stocks are the only way to make money, but that became useless when all the bullshit regulations were set up.

>Inb4 penny stocks are a scam
That's what they want you to think. They don't want the average dumb goys knowing they can make $10,000 a day on a fake gold mining business from Nebraska. They want you investing in shit like Apple and Google, which only makes you money if you already have money.

I saw the same single number come up 3 times in a row once the odds of that happeneing are like 1/100000

Blackjack is a matter of controlling your betting.

>at least the stockmarket you can get insider info.

Except that's illegal and if you aren't well connected you will get btfo and fined

I think he meant insider info as in researching to know when to buy or sell, so it's not complete luck.

>its not a scam
>but you can make 10k from a fake gold mine
Wut

i know you can improve your odds by counting cards, doubling in some situations and canceling the bet in other, but sometimes you get a streak of bad hands like after ten hands of getting 12-16 and the dealer getting KK or high hands you know its not a matter of controlling your betting anymore, it's a matter of luck.

on the other hand you can have immense luck and get 19-21 hands while the dealer busts all the time or gets a low hand. in blackjack i've found myself in both situations and i've come out on top by a little but i realise it's because of luck, after a while the odds catch up to you and remember, the casino always wins, if you're winning for now get your win and leave, you won't keep winning for long

Yes its illegal but who can enforce such things

All I play online is video poker, this site has a few different video poker games, and has a trainer log to let you know if you played wrong.

Skip roulette it has terrible odds.
For me video poker is my favorite at the casino, but odds are you won't win much or lose very much.

freeslots.com/poker.htm

You are describing basic strategy, which still gives the house a 1% advantage.

That's like saying "cheating as in studying before an exam"

yes thats right! literally just give us all your money, its fun! you'll be the one who beats the odds! you're special! now hand it over you stupid goy animal

What? Video poker? Really? One of the worst odds in a casino, second only to slots. Just because you are afraid to interact with people at a real card table...
Real Poker (not this jacks or better crap)
Black Jack
Craps
Roulette

Never play video machines no matter how tempting it might be to be lazy and avoid human contact.

the oldest fucking trick in the book, if you gamble you are a literal fucking retard

So I've improved my odds by a factor of ten
I'll take it!

The company exists on paper. That's all that matters.

I was referencing the martingale strategy which concerns even money odds at roulette

Insider trading is investigated by tracking down large, "lucky" trades, no one is gonna look twice at lousy couple Gs at most average user could invest.

Yea so it is a scam.

Video poker is one of the best to play for beginners.
9/6 jacks or better has 96% payback

The only games with better odds are craps and blackjack

casinogambling.about.com/od/oddsandends/tp/10best.htm

dummies.com/games/casino-games/casino-gambling-games-with-decent-odds/

>not a single mention of baccarat
Do you guys even play at the casino? It's one of the games with the lowest house odds.
Sic Bo is also fun.

If you
Learn basic strategy
Hi lo card counting/true count
Money management
Then black jack will provide you the best odds mathematically (2%).
None of the above skills are illegal, but, casinos will back you off of table games when they determine your power level. It's a cat and mouse game.
For more information look up Holy Rollers documentary.

How? I just explained to you how it's not.

And real poker, which is skill based. So, what I said.

Roulette is a chums game, but if you're too drunk or can't be fucked with anything else and you have the money, why not.

Learn basic strategy if you want to play black jack. Only retards gamble on it without knowing basic strat.

Poker is the only game where you can win with shit cards

Gambling on sports is the most fun. You can make heaps of money off of multi's if you know you're shit. More of a social thing though, but still exhilarating if the game's close.

The whole casino is designed for you to lose. Remember that if you get hooked on it. I know some fucking retard who spends all his money on weed or gambling at TAB. It was a rule of thumb that you never ticked this cunt drugs because he was just fucking useless.

That's why I said for beginners, it teaches them the math

from article
>Some video poker games offer over 100 percent payback to players utilizing perfect mathematical strategy. Many machines have a small house of less than ½ of a percent.

i know i was talking about the importance of bad luck. i also tried the martingale system with no real success on more games

this - the stock market is the greatest casino game ever made. why do you think the best gamblers in the world all work on wall street?

casino games (excluding poker) are for retards. At best (craps/blackjack), you still are statistically losing a few percent to the house. It wouldn't be such an incredibly profitable business if it weren't stacked against the gambler.

You know that if you have a fake company that doesnt make anything making money from trading its shares is basically scamming someone else right
Thr money doesnt magically appear, stockmarket is a zero sum game

This is pretty much all you need for poker:

I never said I was the one creating the fake companies.

There is however nothing illegal about investing in fake companies that move like 2500% in one day.
It's not your responsibility that someone else is doing this.

Unless you're a high roller that can trick the casinos into giving you an advantage (see Phil Ivey at Baccarat) you're being jewed. Best way to treat gambling is that if you lose you're just paying for the entertainment. That being said, Play the lowest house edge games you can. Blackjack if you remember everything is king but Baccarat comes in 2nd if you can't be stuffed to memorise basic strategy.

Doesnt mean its not a scam

I'd go with craps. It's fun as shit to get drunk off of free drinks and play for a few hours. Just don't waste more than $100 and mentally frame it as "I'm paying for drinks and entertainment", not "I'm going to make money"

You can find all information on each game by googling. Now here is the thing: gambling only ever makes sense when you know you have an edge (an advantage over the house, your opponents, bookies, etc), whether that may be, information, skill etc. Your main objectives are to: find your edge, recognize value, extract as much value as possible. No value = no bet. In the end it's a matter of making less mistakes than your opponents. You do this by making rational decisions without letting your emotions and decision-making, belief, and behavioral biases affect them. You need to be aware of variance and how it is going to affect your gambling success. You also need to have a big enough bankroll to beat variance and the patience and self control to follow proper bankroll management, without being too risk averse to miss out on good opportunities (-> value). I know you asked about specifics and had other answers in mind, but the correct mindset is what separates a successful gambler from a degenerate.

If you have really good knowledge of a certain sport you can make some good money.
For example in tennis, you can make some easy money when betting in tournaments which have players ranked from 1 to 80 in the world. I don't bet on anyone ranked lower because it's guaranteed they fix matches because they make fuck all in prize money and sponsors.

i played poker recreationally since i was 18, i started off with 5k and by the time i was 19 i was a 2.50/5 online reg and was playing up to 5/10 live. i peaked at about 200k when i was 21 and went on a 6 month downswing which literally halfed my bank roll and pretty much killed my love for poker. i took a 6 month break where i barely even touched a pair of cards, came back and decided to study mtt's and sit n go's, got some coaching off a friend of mine and proceeded to take down a few big scores and refound my love for the game. nowadays i play mainly mtt's with the odd nose bleed 5k 9 man sit n go if i see a few soft players tabled. a lot of people under estimate the swings of poker and i think its important to never let your self be too emotionally attached be it whether you hit a big score or hit a big downswing because emotion literally affects everything in poker. also stay away from cash games now, the average level is so high that it takes a certain amount of skill to even beat the 1/2 cash game fields at this point.

This user knows what's up. Bankroll management is one of the most important things when it comes to poker.

When playing, you should have a maximum of 5% of your bankroll invested any time you're playing. That way, when you lose, you're minimising your losses.

If you've never played the game before, read up as much as you can, and play as many free tournaments/play chip games as you can, before playing for real money.

Go onto reputable poker forums/poker sites, and learn as much as you can. Also, after a while of playing, try to analyse what you're best at, cash games or tournaments, and play that more often. Always remember, poker takes a short time to learn, but a lifetime to master.

Also, learn how people react in certain situations when they're playing. "Reading" people is an extremely important thing to have when playing. On top of that, try your best not to give away information in hand strength.

And one last thing - while you're playing, if you notice that you're getting bothered by other players, or "tilting", get up, stretch your legs, go for a quick walk around/have a smoke/grab a drink, or just something that will relax you so you don't spew off money/chips.

And most importantly, have fun. If you aren't having fun while playing, have a break for a bit, until you start having fun again. Cause if you don't, you will end up spewing off money/chips again.

I dunno britbong, you can still find a few soft cash games going around. Well here in Sydney you can at the Casino. Still quite a few fish floating about. Especially the young Asian blokes that play in there. Some of them are so easy, it's like shooting fish in a barrel.

But you're right to a degree, there are plenty of strong players going around. The way i see it, if you don't play and learn of the strong players, you're game won't improve to point you will be a consistent winner.

Yeah I used to play 5k upsies on the flip-flop if i saw a few zim zangers. But that was before a few bad games of broken elbow with a cold boner.

I had a 170% ROI betting singles, Asian handicap singles and the odd double on soccer/football last year, OP, so my sports betting advice is never bet anything more than a double; parlays/accumulators are for fucking mugs, lad.

You are confused. Betting and gambling are two different concepts.

Texas Holdem and Sports Betting isnt gambling.

This concludes your first lesson.

read "the intelligent investor"
use good money management, i.e. split your money into ten piles and put on pile into each stock. this protects you against a huge loss

set a HARD stop loss at 20% below your buy in price, AND a trailing 20% stop loss(it moves up as the price goes up)

DO NOT EVER BREAK THE RULE OF KEEPING STOP LOSSES!!

accept your losses, let your winners ride

if you gamble in a casno or online, remember they always have an edge, and you are paying for entertainment. how do you think they pay for all the premises, websites, free drinks and staff?

you can possibly win money on sports betting or by playing Poker if you know what you're doing. I don't know much about that though.

I can give some advice on casino gambling...

on roulette the dealer will often spin the ball in the same section of the wheel, around five numbers either side of the last number hit. So doing neighbour bets or tier/orphans/voisoins in the section that he/she keeps hitting can pay off although they will change the dealer if this keeps happening. Otherwise just pick around 3-6 lucky numbers and keep betting big on them regardless of what comes in.

In blackjack its not always about trying to get 21 but making the dealer bust. You have to look at what the dealer has, if a 5 or 6 there is a good chance the dealer will bust so you dont have to take a card, nothing wrong with standing on 4 in this scenario you wont win on 12 or 13 unless the dealer busts so why bother taking a card on 4? try to double (11 or lower) or split on a 5/6 to maximise your winnings. A 10/picture, Ace, 2 and 3 are the best cards the dealer can get, in this case take cards like the dealer would until you hit 17-21 or bust. Don't be a pussy and try to stand on 15/16.

Roulette and Blackjack are essentially rigged, you might win sometimes but the odds are firmly stacked in favour of the casino. If you gamble in casinos on a regular basis you are 99.99% guaranteed to lose a lot of money in the long term. Another thing to remember is not to get greedy, when you win you are winning because of luck, because you beat the odds. The longer you play the higher your chances of losing.

gambling is very much blue pilled. Its highly addictive and can ruin your life. It can be a fun thing to do now and then if you are willing to accept that you are likely to lose. But when you start thinking you can win or that you're going to make back the money you lost it will lead you to ruin.

t. croupier

KC area here.

We don't have a ton of solid players, but we have a shit load of hyper aggressive players. Catch a good run of cards and it's easy to make 800 in a 1/3 game in an hour. I call our 1/3 game 1/3/25 because that's the standard raise. Expect 4 callers every time too.

>Penny stocks are the only way to make money
Can confirm. Just today, one stock went up 50%. When do you enter a trade? 5 days before, every "guru" and groups were hyping this stock up. I know they're the ones manipulating the prices.

stocks these days are so correlated (they mirror each others' moves), that it's pointless to split your trades into 10.

Just look at the index, and when the index is done resting from a decline and is in the early stages of moving up (bull/uptrend), just pick one or two strongest (biggest percentage gains) stocks that mirror the index's direction, and buy them.

A rising tide lifts all boats, just pick one boat that rises the fastest.

>stocks these days are so correlated (they mirror each others' moves), that it's pointless to split your trades into 10.
well, they may be correlated most of the time, but that one time when they get a hefty fine, or default on a bond, or some other scandal, even go bust, that is when you are happy you split your funds

>A rising tide lifts all boats, just pick one boat that rises the fastest.
yes, researching the alpha is worthwhile, also spotting longterm rising trends and buying on a pullback

Use 2 hands on blackjack doubble up everytime, if you lose on cap you lose.
ex $5-$5-$10-$10-$20-$20-$40-$40
Plan ahead how much money you are willing to lose and know when to stop when you win.

Also there is baccarat that has a slightly better player edge thank blackjack.
Most of the other games in the casino are shit.

Leave it to a fucking leaf to give the most useless comment of the thread

If you want to come home from Las Vegas with 10,000 in your pocket...

Go with 20,000.

loads of stupid advice here. jesus.

gambling is like investing in the stock market. inflation = house.

you can fuck with poker, but the house still gets it's cut.

you can fuck with bj, and use betting strategies that may pay you on a local maximum.

but in the long run, you lose.

it's literally guaranteed.

then you use card-couting to reduce the house odds to -0.5%.

Now you just need to have a lot of money to begin with, and sit at the table for a really long time... and you will profit in the long run.

Card counting (in the Hollywood, win big sense) is only a viable strategy in blackjack games with a single deck which you'll struggle to find in a modern casino, all of which use multi-deck shoes containing hundreds of cards. I've seen single deck games in a few places in Vegas but you'd need to be a complete idiot to think they haven't got a card counter on staff watching that game from above.
