looking for advice about casinos

[chipman58]

Looking for advice from my fellow gamblers as to how you guys handle knowing when to take your winnings at the casino and walk away if you get up instead of keep on playing till you loose what you have won. I have had some luck lately but never know when to walk away and in the long run I play till I loose everything anyone have any methods etc. they use

If you are ahead at all after 3-4 hours, then chances are it will turn around and you should stop. My rule of thumb has always been - up after 4 hours, quit. Down after 4 hours, keep chasing!

I leave as soon as I win over $300.... one time I won $400 at 4-card poker in 10 min.... I was out the door so fast.

I can only answer for the game of "21"........if I'm winning and it's approaching one hour I start to take notice that if my strong hands are losing by one........example: I have 20 and the dealer deals himself 3 to 4 cards and beats me with 21.........time to take notice and if it happens one more time I'm out of there because the tide has switched back in favor of the house.

Do what my buddy who lives in Vegas did.

He hit a strait flush for $2200 and ran to the sprtsbook and bet 1675/1500 on USC vs Texas in championship game.

What a loser huh?

once you are up ten times your original bet, put half in your pocket and start again.

You have to set a win/lose limit when you enter a casino. Your win limit should be about 10% of your starting bankroll and your loss limit should be about 25% of your starting bankroll. You need to be sure you have enough money left if you hit a bad table to recoup your money. Say you start with $500, you really should leave yourself at least $374 to $400 or so to make up your losses. The same goes for winning, you need to be diciplined enough to walk away while you are up. After you make $50 you could stick $30 in your pocket and play with the extra, this way you can take advantage of a hot table. Dicipline and money managment are the two biggest keys to winning in a casino.

I talk in terms of craps. I guess that is not a good term for other games. A lot of 7's is the bad table I'm talking about.

you really think the rolls are not independant of each other? Gamblin fallacy at its finest unless someone is cheating

It is not a fallacy at all. Each roll is independent but the laws of averages comes into play. Over thousands of rolls everyday the dice will give a certain number of each number, for the most part. I have played craps enough to know that 7's and numbers can come in bulk.

whatever dude, random numbers produce bunches of the same number at random times. This is no more than being superstitious. Of course it also pays for all the glitz in Vegas as well.

You can roll 13 sevens in a row and it will not affect your next roll one iota. Most people think like you so you are not alone.

Trust me about craps. I'm a long time winner at that game. It has paid for a lot of vacations and was a secondary income for me for quit a while. You can think what you want but I know what I know. To be honest I'm not really concerned about hot or cold or streaks or whatever, my way usually wins either way.

I trust that you are a typical gambler who believes in crap. I am glad it is working out for you. Tha variance that is

Why would you play online BJ? It's rigged.....

I realized this when I got 21 and somehow still lost.

Althought I did win $800 at 3-card poker but gave most of it back.

I might suggest you read all my past posts on the subject. Do a search and don't listen to the naysayers here. They do not know what they are talking about. I have played and have statistics for many millions of hands on most of the online platforms.
