Doug, you said that the 0/00 is irrelevant? That further shows your lack of basic startegy. If you aretrying to chase your money in a double regressive method, you are assuming red/blk 505 of the time when in reality the odds are skewed because of the two odd numbers

You "big time" market makers have done wonder swith IBM, I'll stick to something I have control over

You asked a question about your "foolrpoof" system and I simply replkied that it is not foolproof but asytem for fools

Watch that market, I see 9000 soon :)

What a hot potatoe!

Chasing your money by doubling will ensure that you will always win back your bet. This will be hampered by table maximums and the size of the bankroll that you need.

This is true if the odds are 50/50, or 100 to one. You are betting that an event will eventually happen, and cover your loss by doubling the bet each time.

I have personally sat and watched 14 reds come up in a row. (I am a hardcore gambler, who gambles no less than once every three months, and never at tables with less than a $25RD minimum..hehe:)) Using the "system", here is what you would have had to lay out to win your $10 in this specific case:

$bet:$ in debt
10:10
20:30
40:70
80:150
160:310
320:630
640:1270
1280:2550
2560:5110
5120:10230
10240:20470
20480:40950
40960:81910
81920:163830
163840:**WIN, you are now up by $10**

The system will work, every time. You need to find a casino that will let you drop hundreds of thousands of dollars on red/black, a few platinum cards, and you need to REALLY want that $10 you will win...but you will win it every time ;)

And add one or two zeros in there and you are in for a few hundred thousand chasing that 10 bucks. Face it, if it is "sure fire" it won't be allowed, it sounds good in theory, almost like covering 36 numbers, but the odds will eventually get you

I have sat at tables for hours playing either two colums or 2nd thrid twelve on the outside, betting 200 to win 100 on 3/2 odds, usually works but a bad run of 2-3 off shots throws you all to hell

you have about a 1.07% ADVANTAGE if you play BJ correctly, a 4% diadvantage at the wheel

The idea of Dougs method is VERY similar to the progressive Keno or Roullete scams they have at the Dominican Casinos, supposedly if you have unlimited funds and play long enough you will win

to the Gambler

you are wrong,o/00 don't matter with this theory,also I never said I practise this. I said this will work every time and it does. bTW i bought Ballard at 27.00 and I think it's around 50.00,...Magna at 70 and it's @ over 100. and IBm i've had since I was a kid and bought for less than 35.00.....I think you better find a new line of work darling!

Gambler!

Cant ya see Rob is getting pissed....All I said was this method is a sure fire way, and it is, albiet not the best way, but you cannot lose provided you don't go over the limit. So for someone who makes thier Living from gambling (and by the sounds of it, you might need to borrow a few bucks....e-mail me and I'll see what I can do)you don't know too much! So relax and don't worry about it.....ok. Gook luck at the Tables!

Doug, you just don't get it

I don't know who Rob is, thought your name was Doug? I only wanted to answer your post as you are very naive in your outlook at the aspects of real world gambling

I set my up "limit " at 300.00 up per day, very easy to do at BJ, the "skill" comes in walking away when you are ahead

Why do you suggest I should seek a new line of work? I make 400 per day times 5 days tax free for usually 15 -20 mins work, not a bad deal. If you are making 2,000 USD a week non reportable per week for less than 5 hours work, I will email you as you sem to have a better theory and actual working method than I

What I really think happened is some bozo gave you his "foolproof" method, you want to try it on an island adventure and are asking any other "real" gamblers if it works.

You may find it works for a few spins, but you WILL get burned in the long run, just as I will if I don't walk away when i reach my limit. Winning in a casino is ALL money management, something that is not used in your friends theory.

I hope you learn some basic stategy before you lose your equity profits in the hard knocks world of gambling

Keep smiling honey :)

The market

Doug

So you don't think the casino is my life., I enjoy playing the market also. i bought 1,000 of Big Blue in 93 and hold it, bought 500 of EMC in 98 and sold in Sept of 2000, you might say I'm doing OK in all my "gambling,"

From the times I have seen your posts on this board, I can easily tell where your expertise lay

Keep it up, you will be able to run with the big dogs someday :), or at least convince some people you have a "foolproof" scheme. ever wonder why they call it "fool proof" :)

Gambler

15-20 minutes per day is 1 hour per week darling! And if you are a professional gambler and you "make" 2g per week you seriously got to have a look at your line of employment! If you "walk" away (does this mean your exempt from Gamblers Anyomamous)at 300 per day....that's 1500 per week! Unless of course you pro-rate it weekly and put in some overtime! Anyways your math is in serious trouble and I think your profession is called a profession if you make a "good" living at it. Taking away a coupla grand per wk from a casino.....you are not a professional, your a hustler....two bit at that. You have a long way to go before you call yourself a professional. So you have a good day and keep buying those lottery tickets and hopefully you can yell BINGO more often than not! Take Care "jugador"!(I'm practicing my Spanish....for when I come down there!)

Doug the Chump

I know jealousy is an evil thing, I do hope you can control it.

I believe I said I make (avg) 400 per day x 5 days = 2,000 everytime I try to add it up. I said my "upside was 300" but I suppose you don't understand that
, get out the calculator program (Use the spell checker once in while also!

"Two bit hustler," you watch too many movies son, a hustler is someone who cons a dumb newbie like you out of his money, not someone like myself who takes on the house in an honest battle of wits (Where you would be defenseless)

So I'm not a pro, most people are defined as professional who get paid or make a living for their time, what do you define a professional as? Another TV character winning the world series at Binions?

Adjust your attitude, ask Mommy to let you play at a real casino then try and make a sensible argument

BTW, I don't play the lottery, that's for chumps like yourself

No more

I casn't do this anymore, it's like a duel where the other guy has a dull sword. Anyone that would even ask Doug's original question about a "sure fire method" to win at gambling is clueless.

They built the Taj, Luxor, Grand Bellagio etc on losing to "sure fire schemes, right.

But then again, my 100K a year TAX FREE is chump change in Doug's book, so I must be doing something wrong :)

I just found this board looking to take a vacation in the DR, anyone tell me about the gambling in the Casinos there (Doug, please don't bother, I'm looking for INFORMED opinions)

Gambling in DR

Sosua has a casino, last time I was there it ws 75RD min bets on the blackjack tables, and they didn't run the craps table except for large groups that would book ahead (not that many of those coming in last time I was there...)

There are something like 3 more Casinos in Playa Dorada, the JackTar has 25RD min tables for blackjack.

Thanks Marc, what are the upper limits on BJ? I have found a lot of Beach Casinos to be limited to 1-200 USD, kind of screws you up when you are trying to recover from a bad streak

Now, Now Gambler.

A professional is someone who makes a living at what they do: ie: a hockey player(NHL) golfer(PGA)basketball (NBA) also if you are a plumber, and have been for many years and it's what you do for a living....you are a professional. But you put it as "someone who gets paid for thier time" Now you've stated.......that Gambling is what you make a living at......therefore you would be considered a professional......now at 1500 or 2000 g per wk.....you are a very poor professional, but you are a professional!
As for my spelling......you should not throw rocks while standing in the middle of a rock house......roiginal..yoursel...treasuys....Antone...foolrpoof....replkied....asytem...thrid...diadvantage...are just a few of your jems.
Gambler...your math is totally out of whack as well...as you showed in your first post.....also see what Marc says above.....the 0/00 don't matter.........you just don't get it....this from someone who makes thier living at a Casino. Anyways it's been real fun.....Hope you have a good day............And may the BINGO Lords be with you on every step that you take!!!. Take Care

Weakest link

Doug

I thought I would set you straight when you asked your simplistic questiuon about a "sure fire strategy" but I guess you didn't like your bubble burst.

2000 USD a week tax free is equal to about $150,000.00 per year, not bad by my estimation, especially since this is "supplemental retriement income" if you make greater than that and still find time to haunt the internet, congratulations.

You obviously have no grasp of helpfullness, gambling, economics or courtesy, so you ARE the weakest link, Good bye

Table Max

You know what, Janice, I am not positive about the table max in Sosua. For some reason I think it is about $1000RD. I have never been told to "decrease my bet please, sir", so don't know for sure.

hehe
