Fruitmachines and Roulettetables
Yesterday I went to the casino with two mates. After spending an hour and some money on some stupid fruitmachines we decided to play roulette. I never did it but it was pretty cool.
I started with 200 euro. In about 2 hours I had gathered 421 euro and started saying to myself, ok this is fun. You had a nice evening and you go home with a nice amount of money on it even. So now you stop. I changed my credits for 421 hard euros and I felt happy. This was a cheap and entertaining evening. Now we go eat a burger and I'll be paying for all three of us.
Untill something really strange happend in my little retarded brain. I decided to go back the roulettetables for just one game and double all the money i had in my pocket. Because who cares about a little 250 euro profit. You do some crap things during some days and after you don't even know what you did with it, big deal. I putted all the money on RED. Why red? because that little ****ing ball already dropped 6 times in a row in a black slot, that's why.
I don't need to explain I wen't home with completely nothing. Yes some euros to buy me that burger which didn't taste as good as they normally do.
PS
Next week we'll go again and I am going to make sure I don't need to work anymore..

Re: Fruitmachines and Roulettetables
My mate and i were in the sports bar yesterday. He stuck £2 in. He'd never played it before (that machine) so i helped him. He won £80 from a £2 drop.
I also have a friend who is about £3000 up at casinos. He goes with £50 and comes out with £1050 odds. Thing is, he goes back a few days later with £500 and comes back with £0. Hes got a £2 debt already to bank in overdrafts, because he follows celtic and scotland when they play abroad.

Re: Fruitmachines and Roulettetables
Moral of the story is, that cash you are taking home feeling good about yourself with is cash someone has lost feeling really bad about themselves for.
I don't believe no man who isn't at least in the 100k a year bracket and above earning can truly gamble for fun. Those who aren't are gambling their souls, been there done that got the t-shirt.
Nothing like ending up 200 quid up cleaning out all the puggies in a paisley arcade only to find two really mean looking shits are now stalking you round the place waiting for you to leave to really remind you about the bad side to gambling.

Re: Fruitmachines and Roulettetables
Wait
221 Euros = nearly £150.
And you went back. You deserve that burger to taste like shit for your sheer stupidity.

The adrenaline rush. It's fun. putting 421 euro on a stupid thing like wheter the ball fall in a red or black spot is ****ing exciting.

Re: Fruitmachines and Roulettetables

Re: Fruitmachines and Roulettetables
Apparently there is a way how you can always "win":
You put money, let's say 10! If you lose, you put 20... If you lose again, 40... And so on.
Because, once you win, you get all the money back you put in over that time...
Unfortunately, there are limits by the Casinos (apparently), i.e. limits how much you can put and how often you are allowed to lose in a row.
I still don't understand why this doesn't work. But it can't be true... Or everyone would be using it? Someone explain pls

Unless you're betting high what you get back in actual profit is minimal compared to what you put in.
Say you bet $10 and lose you are now -$10
Now you decide to bet $20 and lose, you are now -$30
Finally you bet $40 and win getting $80 back
In total you have bet $70 and recieved $80 back, $80 - $70 = $10 profit

Re: Fruitmachines and Roulettetables
There was a 'who wants to be a millionarie machine' in my local ( about 20 meters from my bed ) in my first year at uni. Well...I lost about £500 in it and I had several friends who lost about the same amount. We never ever won the £20 jackpot. In fact we only got onto the last question once and the 30 second time limit went in about 5 seconds. I still cant walk past one of those machines without feeling the urge to put everything I have in my wallet into it.

Re: Fruitmachines and Roulettetables
Yah funny thing is those machines have a safety question built into them to counteract any professors etc quiz geeks emptying them as well.
They ask a sixteenth nigh impossible question which is apparrently what you agree too in the fine print and if you lose it you fubarred no jackpot for you etc.
It's the greatest swizz ever quiz machines cause they don't have to gurantee at 70% minimum payout.

yeah i tested it on a free online roulette game, it seems to guarantee profit as long you have a huge amount of money to make sure you can go on in situations the ball hits the same colour 10 times in a row.

In certain pubs and the game is programmed to noticed, when it paysout the jackpot more often than what is considered average, the game will throw in an extra 'jackpot' question a 16th question which is usually immensely hard etc. This has even made it on the way to a watchdog like program on ITV that I viewed once. As there was a group of Cambrdige degree professors and intellectuals you know of that 50-60 year old age bracket who did pub quizzes etc going around emptying machines in a local area.
You know there are people who do pub quizzes and quiz machines as an occupation etc... but like the casino's the quiz machine makers get wise to this and the house will always win.

Re: Fruitmachines and Roulettetables
thing is, you might diss "only" making the profit of your initial bet, but wtf? Guarenteed money for **** sake. Plus in casinos, the ball spins what, every 30 seconds? Doesnt exactly take long. On a £5 start etc

Re: Fruitmachines and Roulettetables
Because if you were going to bet £5 to begin with, and were to take enough money to guarntee against the ball coming up the same colour 10 times (which with constant play, enough to make a profit through this method, will happen) you would do the following :
Initial bet £5
2nd bet £10
3rd bet £20
4th bet £40
5th bet £80
6th bet £160
7th bet £320
8th bet £640
9th bet £1280
10 bet £2560 - win £5120
So you would have to be willing to bet £5115 (total) for the £5 profit, and if it came up wrong on the 10th time, you would be £5k out of pocket.
And assuming you had £5k in the first place to be betting with, £5's profit every 5 minutes over 6 hours = £360. Which isn't too much.

Yeah, but if thats the case I'm guessing you don't have 5k capital to risk ?

Re: Fruitmachines and Roulettetables
well i am not saying i am seriously considering trying this but it seems a way to make a living and I can't imagine those casino boards havent got any counter measurement against this system.
It's not really hard to get a 5k loan or something, or gather it in some months somehow. The risk is fairly low anyway.
