Gambling is what people do to try to make money fast with as little effort as possible. It is easier than drug dealing and a hell of a lot safer (you will probably have more luck striking it rich at the casino than the corners of Southwest philadelphia anyway). Millions of people spend many billions of dollars anually at casinos every year within the United States alone. While this is true, there is a very widely known and disregarded fact about gambling. It is quite nearly impossible for more than a mere handfull of those millions of people to win big by gambling.
I must admit, I gamble. My cousin's name is Rob Gamble, which makes me quite jealous. When heading to the casino I stop at the bank and take out an even amount of cash that is within my needs. I expect that this money might as well be burned right now, because it is very possible that I might end up going home without a cent of the money I took out. $200 today (it was a good month at Linode, yay!) This number is very important! To be honest, I got to the bank with $90 in my pocket and took out another $100, but I thought I already had a full $100 when I was in front of the ATM.
The $200 is then divided up. I knew that the people which I was going to the casino with (their initials are BBS, GHP and ATQM) only wished to spend an hour at the first casino, and an hour and a half at the second. I split the $200 in two, $100 for the marina and $100 for Harrah*s AC. I intended to spend a full hour of gambling at both. The first 30 minutes or so at Harrah*s was to be spent getting ID cards, eating and staking out the floor since it was to be my first time there.
We got to the marina, and it was shit as usual. I put the entire $100 into slots and came out with $55.15. At Harrah*s I got my cards, purchased three pierogies and a bottle of filtered tap water for $7.48. It was some fucking expensive water, I sure as fuck hope that those unhappy and serviceless jackasses cooking behind the glass get a discount when they need to wash their hands, but it cost me $.20 an OZ - $2.00 for 10 ounces - for my water. The three pierogies with which they provisioned me tasted nomishly nice and were amply greasy, but they were miniscule.
After getting my wallet ransaked for three bites, I realized that it was nearing 7:00 PM. BBS stated in clear and certain terms that they we were to be leaving at exactly 8:00, so I got to work. I placed $100 in a few machines and ended up leaving Harrah*s with $169 and perhaps $3 worth of quanidipens.
We left AC with the same number of people as we arrived. Two of us still had money left in our pockets. I was the only one who had more than when we got there. All four of us went to AC with the intention of spending only a certain amount. The two of us who had cash after leaving actually stuck to our word. The other two... not so much. My system had been built and it worked.
Many people say the same thing, that they will only allow themselves to gamble with as much as they brought. What a great many of them do not say but really mean is that they brought a certain amount of money and they are not going to take any more out of their accounts until they get away from the casino. That is what many of them do, they do not take any more money out of the ATM than what they brought with them. I would suspect that very very few actually gamble the exact amount that they brought with them. I do...
Slot machines have many numerical values on them, but I am concerned with only two - "Remaining Credits" and "This Bet". When applying money to a slot machine it first shows exactly how many credits are left. It is equal to the number of dollars inserted divided by the credit value of the machine. Take a mental note of this value and immediately disregard that display for the rest of your tenyor at this particular slot machine. Usually there is a button that says "MAX BET". Hit that first, and take note of the numerical value within the "This Bet" display. Deuct it from the number you took note of when you first inserted money. You now have a choice on how much you wish to bet. If you have plenty of time you might as well bet low, but if you have less time you might want to bet high. After a bit of time doing this you will know exactly how many times to hit "MAX BET" in order to run through all the credits you inserted. Here is an example:
Arrive at a $0.05 (five cent) machine and place a $20 bill in the slot. Say goodbye. Note the number of credits at 400, and do not look at the "Remaining Credits" display again. Hit "Max Bet". You will see the lights flashing and the drums spinning because you just gambled. Disregard the distractions and focus. This particular machine is a Cleopatra, and it has a max bet of 18 (nine lines of 2 bets each, making 10 cents a line times 9 - 90 cents every spin. 400 divided by 18 is not even, but comes to 22 and a remainder of .2222 (repeating). 22 times 18 is 396 - that leaves you with 4 credits out of the original 400 after hitting max bet 22 times.) Hit the MAX BET button 21 additional times, then press the "2 lines" button, followed by the "2 credits" button to bet the last four credits. Press "Cash Out". If you were there for more than 2 and a half minutes, you probably won on a few of those spins. If you won on any of the spins, take the voucher presented by the machine, remove your card and move on to the next machine. It is not necessary to cash in your vouchers until you are done gambling exactly how much with which you arrived.
If you can do math fast, you will do very well. If you are not good at arithmatic and you use this method, it will exercise your brain.
