Gambling Theories

Post by stevel96a1 »

often times much like all gamblers i observe other gamblers in their activities, and i was watching youtube as i always do and watch this guy play high limit video poker in the realm of 25$ a pop to 50$ a pop to all the way to 125$ a turn and with that said he makes out like a bandit imo w/ his powerful free play. i mainly believed gamble within your means until i realized you will never make a respectable profit betting in .25 and mapping out and cataloging this info is correct best result is play longer. with that said im switching gears from .25 to 1$ and higher from this year on. im well aware of losing 8-10 hands in a row it was a fun way to lose 50$ of my free play but heck its worth the out-come.

my last trip was a profitable one my wife hit a hand pay and i snagged 4 deuces but her way of thinking changed mine she almost got a hand pay of 5k but missed the last duck oh maybe next time she will get it

i did snag the 4 ducks on my session but still losing is losing until you land the winning hand.

:lol:

That's the first time I've seen someone "censor" the pay table they are playing.

Too good to share, right? ;)

LOL the proof is in the pudding, i just hate hearing how others say dont play that table however my gambling log shows a profit something in the long run i couldn't get with a good pay tables in atlantic city for whatever reason and i dont have the option to make my gambling session in vegas to play the cream of the crop machines yet still winning, the point being play higher stakes yields higher profits just have to end the session early rather than later =/ but hitting that 1 hand can make it worth it and i been playing since 2017 and that hand can come early more than once

I hope this works out for you. Bet big to win big! It does seem fun. Hope you have a nice big bankroll and can live without it. Just in case things don't go as well as you hope. Good luck!

Eduardo you got me laughing so hard you make it sound like its a dirty girl and im the fb or instagram police censoring too much leggage on the beach! but i digress gambling higher is better for longevity gambling lower is better, im also trying to figure out what would be the best gamble in the world?
if i give player A , a thousand dollars and his mission would be to double it, would it to place it all on a baccarat table? poker? roullette? chop it up to smaller pieces? again im sure theres a formula for this and im sure computer math models can answer this question but no one wants to answer it,,,

well im mainly using the free play strategies and landing winning hand can pay out 10k to 20k or even 40k depended upon how high i want to go and again well aware of losing 10 hands in a row but only takes 1 trip to pay for 10 or more trips in the future.

If your only goal is to double it, I would say Roulette or black jack.

With video poker, I think you will double your money a lot less than half the time. But you can also win a lot MORE than double your money when you do. Hit a royal flush early, that could be a lot more than 2X (depending on your bet). So that could pay for a lot more losing sessions like you say. But if that payout comes late and you're already in the hole, then you're counting on it just to catch up.

The math on video poker is a lot more complex than roulette or black jack. As is the experience.

i test alot of gambling games in baccarat i could win 100 maybe 200 units
and 1 unit could be anything but suppose its 25$ well thats 2500$ and maybe i could double that to so 5k$
however watching this guy play 125$ a pull wins 10k$ cash on a 4 of a kind imagine if he hits the royal ?
it really does blow baccarat pay out of the water.

Steve you really got to understand the math of the game your playing. Every game you have available in your area is a losing game over time. Yes you can hit the royal on your first hand . But over time you will give it back. I have had well over 100 royals at the casino and given most everyone back. The real money is in free play and promo plays. Once you understand this it's easy to make money.

When I say easy, I mean spending hours playing for entrees to drawings and spending time waiting on the draw.

I don't mean to burst your bubble, but you will never over time make money just playing the game itself.
Even with meaningful FREE play your best to break even over time..

no bubble burst, and i am only trying this tactic with free play, and with my card and wife card free play i can cash out something even after losing 8 hands in a row its still worth the risk, and if i land big hand that pays for the future loses that will happen, i wouldn't dare play this with my own money from work but watching people on youtube with their 2500$ free play why play .25? feels more and more like pennys or 1/10 of pennys, and i could never win at atlantic city maybe because their offers were crap with a measly 20 or 40$ per day what a joke.
