Is It possible to win consistently in casino gambling?

[TheComputerGroup]

Unless you're counting cards at blackjack, find a weekness on a roulette wheel like Billy Walters had in a casino in AC back in the late 80's or early 90's, can't remember or you have a computerized software program that can bypass the slot machines, NO, it can't be done in the long run consistently.

I watched a program on a greek gambler that was winning 20 million dollars in craps at Binions Horseshoe in Vegas over several weeks. Instead of taking his winnings after losing back 5 million, he stayed to lose back the rest.......the manager of the casino had called him one day when he was up the 20 million to bring him some $25 chips because he had the entire batch of $25 chips in his safety deposit boxes at the hotel.

Then the manager/owner asked him why he won't cash out & go home up 20 million & the Greek guy responded that he wanted to win the casino from him by beating the craps game. (One of the stupidest things I ever heard)

Imo, you can in poker if you continuously play with the same players.

There is a reason almost all casinos in the world are open 24/7......think about it....

That's crazy to be up 20m and not walk away with at least half. I understand, but damn, that's crazy.

Yep & from.my understanding, he wasn't a whale or some multi millionaire either....but the power of greediness seemed to have gotten the best of him. How in the world else do you not walk away like you stated even after losing back 10 million, sick!

Unbelievable. His average bet size must have been crazy.

I think you can win if you find a hot table and ride out streaks consistently

Certain slot machines have bonuses on them. When someone gets up when the bonus is on or close to going on, you can get the advantage. The one everyone knows about is Ultimate X video poker.

Wow, many surprise replies here.


Blackjack, slots, video poker, and others can and have been beaten by quite a few professional gamblers on a relatively consistent basis, including myself.......know quite a few personally that have PROFITED into the millions with casino gaming, not even counting what they have made through sports betting.


For the most part, the three I did mention(slots, VP, BJ) have all become more increasingly difficult over the last 25 years.

With a good slot card and/or promo, Ultimate X can be played with a 100%+ advantage......but as you mentioned, the less risky play is to just play game with leftover multipliers if one finds them........ran across a 3x on a $2 machine at the rio a couple years ago and profited $1600 playing one hand.

I agree with all 3 of these as VP machines that are over 100 % payouts not only require 100 % play but most now offer far less slot points. BJ players who count cards now are very closely watched. However slot play that includes bonus plays are still very available if one knows what to watch for. Most tourists here in Vegas simply load up the machines for the crafty locals to cash in the profits. Also like Fish noted, one must always play with your Casino Cards and take advantage of all the varying promos offered ! I read all the books and make it my business to know how to play every hand correctly if I'm playing a 100 % payback machines on 10 times point days. I still think betting futures is the easiest and surest way to do well gambling because every Sportsbook has different future odds. Look for mistakes as they are always out there and if there isn't any...... don't bet !! GL

Is sports betting a casino game? I mean, I know you bet on sportsiinside a casino but the game is being played on a football/baseball field.

I don't count sports betting as a casino game.
