Helpful posters only!

Going for my 18th to have some fun, this isn't an all the time routine.

[three.eighteen.]

deerfoot inn, its nice, new and clean, i pretty much only go to poker rooms, if you go during the day the poker isn't too competitive, later on at night, the sharks come out

[AllGoNoShow]

Yah we're going for 3 card poker mostly, maybe couple rounds of 5 card or texas

[three.eighteen.]

3 card was what got me gambling in the first place, i made like 1100 US on a cruise ship over a week...the game has never been kind to me since

[AllGoNoShow]

haha sweet but shitty at the same time.

[A790]

I go for roulette. I was kicked out of Stampede Casino for "cheating" once... never been back :(

I am just good at stacking odds in Roullette to my favour. The casino sees it as cheating, but it's not like I'm conspiring with any of the staff or anyone else for that matter.

I walk into a Casino with $200, and playing Roulette I walk out with $350-$450 usually.

[ashee]

Calgary Casino on Barlow

[topazdude]

Cash casino is the place to go, monday-thusday is a good time to go, fri-saturday nights is very packed

LOL!!!! sample size? this is hilarious! I'll wager any amount you want to see if you, or anyone else in the world, can mathematically prove how you can stack odds in the players favor at an unaltered roulette table.

When I use to gamble, Cash Casino was the place :thumbsup: but the Deerfoot Inn and Casino is really nice and :bigpimp: and more spacious

[WWJAI]

I like Elbow River Casino..its nice and clean there...calgary casino is just ghetto

but yes yella-dragon has a good pointer for you...definitely stay away..you may win your first time going (beginner's luck) and you'll become hooked and you can just say goodbye to your money from then on

it only takes one time to make a mistake.

[max_boost]

Calgary Casino (ABS) is home to me. :werd:

[lexIS300]

depends what u are going for.

deerfoot inn is the best poker room in calgary imo

elbow for table games or high LIMIT poker like 15/30 or 30/60 i think they have the nicest casino

ABS for high limit baccarat hahah thats all i play now. its the devils game though

Please explain how it is possible to stack the odds in favour of you.

And I think the best casino all around is Elbow River as far as Poker goes. And the underground parking during the winter is definitely a bonus.

[RX_EVOLV]

I like elbow but its usually so pack and hard to get into any of tables ( I dont like playing on a full black jack table, too much shuffling), which is why i like CASH, no problem finding a blackjack table there w/ just a few people.
Poker room wise, Deerfoot and elbow are both nice, but all the skilled player seem to play @ elbow, which makes it a hard place to win $ imo

Walk in with $400 and you should be able walk out with $700 to $800 = $300 to $400 net gain, tax free. Why work if you can do this every day? :rofl:

Are there any actual legitament "work from home" dealies that I can do when I'm off my 9-5? All the searching I've done so far leads me to either wholesaling on eBay or affiliate marketing... what other options are there?

It's the internet, making bold statements like that everyone will call you on it :drama: :werd:

LOL Roulette isn't a full time job.

Mathmatically the house always has a 5% take on you, but that's why you play at a table with more than one person. Don't bet on every roll. I generally wait untila given bet (L, M, H dozen or R/B combo) hasn't been spun upwards of 6 times, then I make staggered bets on it.

You guys are all hot and bothered by this bold statement, but really, each winning series of bets nets $3 or so. It's just time :)

Doesn't matter if hes a shark or a newbie, I'm going out for my bday to have soem fun with everyone, this isn't finding a new casino for me so I stop loosing money, first tiem going out for a good time. don't even care if I win or not, thats not why I'm out.

Heard lots about Elbow and Calgary from freinds tonight, looks like it will probably between those 2.

dude think about it, no one is 'having fun' when you lose money.

[AllGoNoShow]

You are when it isn't your money are you not?

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

hahaha...

I usually hit Elbow, just to play some baccarat/blackjack. Poker's too intimidating for me ;)

[AllGoNoShow]

Yah I was playing Baccrat online, definatly an interesting game.

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

I'm a very cautious gambler.. I hate losing... so my bets are always like $5... if i'm up around 50ish i'll start doing the $20... I rarely come out losing, but when I do win, it's small amounts... I think the biggest amount was $80

[AllGoNoShow]

Better then nothing ;)

[WWJAI]

Yah if its your first time going, I suggest playing bacarrat or blackjack..their fun to play and it ain't as competitive as poker...takes a lot of risk and skills to play that game.

[Kobe]

If you are starting out Cash Casino has some good cheap tournys at 1pm Mon - fri $20 +3 with $10 rebuys


They also have 3/6 Limit which i have never played, while Deerfoot and Elbow is 4 / 8limit min

Even though the site says its 20+3 I think the 1pm's are currently $50+6 (or 30something, don't remember) with rebuys because they are giving out seats to the CPT shootout in a couple weeks.

Cash poker room doesn't have limit anymore.

[doublepostwhore]

Roulette is a math game.

A good spinner is able to place the ball and hit an area equal to 1/16th of the table.

The way that the black/red alternate is supposed to be 47.5/47.5 but it isnt.

Over a section of 6 blocks near the keyblock at both the 12/6 [postion on the roulette spinner the blocks alternate like this 1=black and 0 = red APD.

010keystone010 4 red to 2 black is not 50/50 chance.

ALWAYS place bets after the spiner drops the ball.

I can gauruntee you that out of 100 tries, you will not hit black/red equally 50/50, watch a spinner for 30 minutes and record the odds/stacks then come and tell me it isnt math.


For the record, I NEVER play roulette, but I love watching people win 100 bucks and then loose it all haha.

haha I've seen you a few times in the poker room at ABS sam.
I haven't played in a while, been wasting more of my money on the tables, but I may join the poker room again. last time I went, there were no PL or NL tables, so I had to play NL. Its a much diffrent aspect of the game cause you will have fishers and chasers then they call you all the way to the end cause you can't raise enough and ends up having 4 cards on the board that are connected somehow and they hit a flush or a straight with one card in their hand, its really shitty haha.

[AllGoNoShow]

Thanks :)

I told the buds a coupel fo casinos and one of them has it figured out where were going so I guess I'll jsut trust him lol.

off topic but is the 2-5 PL dealer's choice? I've seen omaha dealt only on one occasion while i was there, wasn't sure if that was a regular game or if it's always there.

[SneakyNeek]

yooo jamess im comiiiing mannd i need to win some money

I don't buy it.

1) The wheel spins at varying speeds
2) The ball is dropped and rolled at different speeds

Too many variables to be able to accurately predict even which half of the wheel it will land on without a computer.

Also, even with something that is supposed to be 50/50 (ie. a coint toss) you won't see it land 50/50 after a mere sample size of 100 tosses.

Roullette is one of the games I stay away from. Stick to bj and craps.

[Moe Man]

deerfoot, but i am bias..........cuz i work there

BTW : dont fuck with security :rofl:

Wrong, what you are talking about is called variance.

[Blacura]

I thought every spin of roulette was completley independent of each other? I don't play it so I don't know much about it.

I play craps, it's fun, and has the best odds in the casino. It wasn't untill a few years ago that it was allowed to be played in the casino in Regina.

The chances of hitting red or black is not 50/50. You say you have watched, so if you did, you would notice there are the 0 and 00 on the wheel. so it's actually at something around 48%. This game you will never win in the long run. The only people that win are the ones that bet big, and do a hit and run when they hit. You can't win if you aren't getting true odds on your money. there are 38 numbers on the wheel and you're getting paid 35 to 1, you do the math.

[Supa Dexta]

frank sissons'!

nah... I actually heard elbow's comming up for sale.. But I can't remember if it was 90 or 190 mil...

[Honda_002]

My fav. is elbow river inn for sure

blackjack FTW

This is kind of funny, all this talk about Roulette.

Anyway, after I read some of the comments made I thought to myself "why DON'T I do it for some cash?" Funny enough I found some Casino's online that have it, and in the last two days I've made $300.

Thanks for the idea's guys ! :thumbsup:

Short term means nothing. I went 2 or 3 months playing bac every weekend leaving up on average 500-1000 each trip (buying in 200 max). Did that mean I had a system that was consistently working? Nope, next month I started to lose some, so I stopped while I was ahead.

Online casino's are especially bad. You're better off finding an alley and playing some dice.

The Casino I'm playing at matched my deposit dollar for dollar, then I withdrew my deposit and so now I'm playing with free money. I've already paid myself $200 in winnings. If its short term, whatever, it's still money.

Which site does this?

Most sites don't let you withdraw your initial deposit if your trying to break a bonus until you've played a certain amount of raked hands.

For example you want a 100$ bonus you will need to play 100$ in rake to the casino.

POKERSTARS! FTW!!!!

Winning is winning indeed, and congrats on your winnings, but my issue has nothing to do with whether you win or lose. My issue is with spreading false information concerning "Systems" that supposedly give the player an edge in a game where the house has a substantial edge over the player. Seriously, if you're looking at keeping most of your money when walking in to a casino, stay away from Roulette.

Each spin of roullette is an independant event. It's like flipping a coin. Even if you flipped 1000 heads in a row, the chances of the next one being a tail is still 50%. I've seen ppl lose thousands in vegas ignoring this fact while utilizing the martingale betting system.

Best odds in a casino is craps (unless you card count, but even then, it's not as effective anymore). I read about a system a while ago that actually makes sense. Well to call it a system is misleading, it's actually a series of bets which is quite simple yet the implications are quite dramatic.

Since I hate it when ppl say "I have a system where you always win and stuff" and never disclose the system, I'll give a quick overview of this betting scheme.

Essentially, the key idea behind it is that you get paid true odds on your odds bet. As a result if you can maximize your odds bet, and minimize the rest, you'll reduce the houses edge significantly. (even with this method the house still has an advantage).

Basically, you bet Pass/come and don't pass/don't come. This might be weird in that you essentially stand to lose since you'll push on any roll and lose one unit on 12. (This is where the house maintains it's advantage). After a point is established you then bet odds on either of your bets depending on whether you're a right better or a wrong better. I'll assume you're a right better. If the roller hits the point, you win your odds (paid in true) and your initial pass/come bet. The win from your pass/come offsets the loss from your don't pass/don't come. As a result, your sole profit comes from the odds bet, but since the odds bet is the best bet to make, you give yourself the best odds in the game.

That probably wasn't too clear. If anyone is interested though, pm me and I'll give more details.

I agree but you can still win in 4/8 too. Most of the time the players will miss their hand and pay you off all the way. I set a new personal record a couple weekends. $700 in a 3 hour session of 4/8. It was ridiculous. I think I played 90% of my hands hahaha

I understand where you're coming from. To be completely honest, I don't have a "system" but morso an educated series of bets that so far have done me very well.

I guess if people want to know hows its done I'll make a quick page and put it online for beyonders tommorrow. I don't have time tonight.

for 2-5 dc i went to deerfoot. they used to have it pretty much thursday,friday, saturday and than it got really popular going pretty much everyday. but than it started to die down with only the regulars playing now they switch to 2-5 nl. havnt been there for a month but i used to go everyday.

friday or saturday they get a 2-5,5-10 game at abs lol but thats usually not poker but whos got the most gamble in them.

they get a 2-5 game at stampede sometimes and more often at cash

and 25-50 game somtimes at elbow

you just gotta call around and ask what games are going around and what list they have.

i shoulda stuck to poker :banghead: down 9 grand this month from baccarat
