I have no idea what you're insinuating.... if you want to make accusations, check that you can back it up first :) (I don't break the law, because every time I have done, I've been busted for it)

But back on topic,

I'm partial to a bit of Crown and Anchor.

gambling is pure luck. The odds are always against you. If you win, then you had good luck. If you lost, then you lost because thats how the odds were weighed up against you in the first place.

Any of these so called theories etc do not work and are a load of sh!t. With roulette, the wheel is spinning, and so is the ball. Big deal if you can get it within 3 numbers either side of what you were aiming for. The way the numbers are arranged on the roulette wheel counteracts this. If your so good at it and you can win so much; why dont you go into the casino every day and clean them out??? I doubt you would get bored of making money.

Generally if you walk in with a lot of money and you dont even need to win, thats the times you win. When i walk in with little money trying to double/triple it, i end up losing out.

Your better off not getting involved with it unless you have plenty of money and you are the type like that can go in and lose a certain set amount, and walk away, and thats pretty hard for 99% of people!

I can :(

leave the boys to thier gambl0r talking

actually, i've heard it is possible to play roulette and never lose out.

you bet on a 50/50 (ie black/red, odd/even, 1-18/19-36) which will double your money if you win, say for example i bet $5 on black.

if i don't win then i double my original bet on the next spin ($10), which will take into account the loss i had on the last spin. then if this doesn't win again, i put down $20 and so on.

as long as you continue to double your previous bet, and continue to play a 50/50, you will always make your money back. problem with this is that if you have a bad run then you will need to have a substantial amount of money to play, as the money needed to get back your loss will grow exponentially. not much fun though.

there definately are ways around some games, card counting in black jack increases chances of winning dramatically, it's just that security will definately not be too keen on keeping you around...

the double up theroy is all good, but the winnings vs potental losses aren't very good

if you bet $5 initially then you keep doubling up till you win, you'll only ever win $5 a time... if you have to double up say 8 times thats:

5 10 20 40 80 160 320 = $635 to win $5, big risk.

JAPCAB: not all gambling is pure luck - hence why some people get banned from casinos because they can beat the system (by card counting usually). But your right (and as leewah has said) you need to be willing to loose what you walk in there with.

Well.....in an effort to prove all the 'anit-pokie' people wrong, I went to a local pokie playing place last night with a handfull of dosh and left an UNhappy camper!!!

I say bring on the poker lessons and I'll try my luck at that.

toally not true, alot of games are pure luck but you can increase your luck by increasing the chances that you could win, ie the odds. Then its not totally all chance. i love texas holdem but i woudlnt' be good enough to go into the cas and buy in, i just know how to play a little like what are good starting hands but not good enough to calculate pot odds :) i always download and watch world poker tour, some seriously good viewing entertainment :)

A lot of luck is required when gambling as the odds always start against you. No doubt about it, but if you are going to generalise everything the way you have, you obviously haven't taken gambling seriously before.

As you have stated, you lose when you go to the casino. That's coz yr trying to double or triple your capital. It's not going to happen all the time.

When I did it for 9 months full time (5 days a week, up to 10 hours a day), I only tried to make 20% each time I went in. On a capital layout of $2k, that's $400 a day tax free. Sure, you don't win everyday but most days you come out on top as you have enough capital to ride out the bad hands.

Blackjack is only good if you're there for a short period of time. The shoes in general are too unpredictable to make big bets and expect to come out on top. Even counters have trouble with 8 decks especially when they cut the deck at least 1.5 in meaning that at least 76 cards won't be played.

Baccarat is defiantely where the money is IMHO.

This is known as the Martingale system and works fine in theory. The casino knows this however and hence the reason for table limits. This is why this particular system will never work.

Your missing the $2.50 chips leewang, i'm just nitpicking..they look like good chips. I was playing black jack, well dealing actually yesterday with friends and showing them how to play, we also dabled in poker, i practiced my card toss. i got a long way to go before i get any good at that. So when are we going to put these to use?

Don't need chips representing a PRETEND $2.50 when we play.

I'll decided denominations on the day but the standard will prob apply. Might use the white as monkeys (as we don't need PRETEND $1 chips either) and then use the blue for gorillas.

We'll do this when I get back from my holiday as I've run out of time to organise it all.

eBay baby!!! Found a few sites where 500 chips was gonna set me back bout $350 but eBay has heaps.

Just took a punt with these ones and I'm pretty happy. Comes in an aluminium case with 2 decks of cards, a dealer button and 5 dice.

All in all, it was $114 delivered to my office :rofl: This is the 5th set I bid on. All the others went over my budget.

Nice where did you get that from? how much? I want to get a set as well.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
