Does Gambling At A Casino Make Any Sense?

[5 Grand]

Gambling At a Casino looks like fun on TV. But mathematically, every single game at a Casino is designed for you to lose.

Casinos would go out of business if there was a strategy you could use to increase your odds of winning.

People say, "I have a system".

But if their system worked, they'd be billionaires.

I can see how it might be fun to do once in a lifetime, but I live in New Jersey and people go to Atlantic City regularly. People say, "I was up, then I lost it". That's BS, they were never up. They might have won on a slot machine once, or won on the Roulette table once, but mathematically, every one of those games is designed for you to lose.

Does gambling make any sense? Should it be illegal?

I play the lottery sometimes. If Powerball is $300 million I might buy a ticket, but otherwise, I think gambling is for idiots and cheaters. The idiots lose and the cheaters win.

Not for me….I’ve gone and played slots a few times with a $50 limit on myself and never won shit

 

[Rubato]

I feel like I would clean up betting on college football tho

Honestly if you have the money for it then sure

A lot of times people just go for the thrill and high life

But how could you, "have the money" to play a game that's mathematically designed for you to lose?

The only way you can consistently win is by cheating.

I only do the roulette. I only go if im around that area as well (maryland live). Im a cheap "gambler". I only played with $20-40 max now a days. The minimum to bet is $5. Most I ever played with was $100. After I lost that playing multiple games, I said I will just bet low. I havent been in a few months. Most I ever won was like $220. Im happy if I make enough for gas or a meal.

Yea that shit ain't for me.
I feel it's already a waste of time if it's designed for you to fail.
I suck at math and have no luck plus muhfuckas be getting addicted to that shit.

I see no reason to participate. The most I'll do is a scratch off and even that's rare af.

I don’t get it. Vegas was built on losers.

I answered your question in the latter part of my comment

People do it for the thrill and high life. It’s like throwing away money just for the joy of saying you had it

Think of people who waste money on lottery tickets when it’s a one in a million chance you’d win

The free drinks is how they get you. Over indulge so you make bad decisions. I dont ever drink in a casino

 

[mryounggun]

Yes, it make sense. Because the possibility of winning money - for most people - is a very secondary motivation.

You really gotta have the self control to walk away.

I always walk away when I'm up. I don't even care if it's early.. If I can recognize that this is a come up... I'm done

Lol not me, I knew I was broke

 

[Sony Montana]

Every time I gamble I leave up

Last time I went to ALC I came with $50 and left with $150 off of roulette

That’s literally the only game I play

White folks was tight seeing me win 5x in a row at one point

 

[Duwop]

I play poker. Once I double up, I'm looking for an out.

I've pissed off many a tables leaving after winning a big hand.. It's actually kinda risky, cuz niggaz will fight you over that shit.. It's considered rude. But I do it every time

This right here.

Generally speaking I play roulette but on rare occasions I'll sit at a cheap lil penny, nickel, or dime slot machine. When I play roulette, if I'm up a decent amount, I flip my chips and walk away then go cash out. If I start playing slots with $5 and I'm up to $25, I'll cash it out. Back in Feb I was with some of my peoples at Motor City Casino. One chick decided to go play slots and a couple of us went with her. She started with $20, worked her way up to about $200 then damned near lost all of it. She was down to about $2-$3 and bounced back up to something like $70. I told her to quit but she kept going. Lost all of it. Threw another $20 in there and next thing we knew she was up to just short of $500. We all told her ass to cash out but she didn't listen and dropped all the way down to something like $40 and finally gave up.

That can't be me. She could have walked away with bill money and instead barely broke even.

Off topic but stock options are the new casino...

Casinos are for entertainment..their form of entertainment are games of chance you pay to play..

People can get addicted to anything but that's on them..self control is your responsibility.

New Orleans was gangster. I turned $80 into $450 in like 30 minutes. I got up to try to give my wife half my winnings cuz I was just gonna gamble with the rest since I was already up.... But cuz I left the table with chips... They was giving me a hard time when I came back.

I was like fuck it I'm done....

One of the dudes at the table tried to crack slick ...I was like aye bruh, if you mad enough you could always just take your money back....

Wife got me outta that building quick

I lose 20 dollars and I’m mad, let alone losing thousands of dollars..
