going to vegas this weekend, just wondering if anyone here used any form or kind of system on blackjack or roulette?

yes, it's called, "I get drunk, I put chips on the table, they take the chips"....repeat after each spin.

well i cant count cards.

and i dont drink.

1968 · Feb 20, 2009

what about doubling down after say, 6 or 7 odds in a row then go even?

Doug · Feb 20, 2009

You can't beat that game, previous spins are irrelevant.

1968 · Feb 20, 2009

i know i cant beat it-but how can I lower the odds to lowest max possible?

Find a single-zero roulette table and only bet on red or black, don't vary your bets, just bet the same amount on every spin, and enjoy your free drinks. House edge is about 2.7%

2.7% is huge.

Find a blackjack table that stands on all 17's, double on anything, surrender available and split 4 times. The get a pocket card that tells you what to do in every instance. House edge is about 0.15%. Order some otherwise expensive free drinks and you are good to go. :grandmais

at a $10 table with $5 chips a dealer once told me if i bet $10, win $10, put $5 aside and $5 back out there on each hand. If i win again, take another $5, put it back out there, and pocket the other $5. If i lose, start over. Anyone ever tried this with BJ?

I used to play a sytem of steaks in BJ. Play exactly by the rules of highest percentage but say start with 10$ bets. if you win a hand bet 15$ and if you win again bet 20, 25-30, 40-60, etc when you lose a hand right back to 10$, if you lose first hand 10$ again. It kept you in the game and a good streak netting big money. no more than 3 hours..

so 3 hours tops Mamon?

You're betting randomly, not when the cards are good, this way.

What if the game is single, deck, and you are playing alone at the table.

You get a blackjack, dealer gets two tens, you win !

Now you are increasing your bet, into a bad deck.

so more players=better odds?

no real difference

You want the aces and tens in the deck, and the small cards out of the deck.

Hate playing blackjack at a full table. Always get a goof on 3rd base who hits on 15 when the dealer has a 4 showing because they feel lucky. I like three-card poker instead.

doesn't matter long-term. Player could draw a 7,and bust, to save the table, or a ten, then the dealer gets a 7.

I don't enjoy bad players, but it makes little difference.

the thoery is its never w,l,w,l,w,l,w,l so if you go 5 in in row losing then you lose 50$ and when you go 5 in a row winning you get way more than 50$. But there is always that bad streak looming so get money and go.. thats the 3 hours..
