Redpill me on gambiling and betting

> playing against the house
> not playing NLHE/PLO

Blackjack is the only card based gambling game that's all intelligence, you can make some good money out of it if you play stupid people.

>smoke a fag

i play Baccarat, Roulette, and Blackjack mainly

Its fun. But not in the traditional sense. I like to look around the table and see people getting enraged if any one player starts to win at a greater than average rate.

tonight i went out and played some baccarat. And i was betting on the player(you also can bet on the bank, a tie, panda 8, and dragon 7)/ Everyone else at the table was betting on the bank. After about 13 wins for the player everyone's eyes were bugging out at me. I LOVED IT. feeling all the love and passion coming towards me.

You're thinking of the lottery user, not gambling as a whole.

Gambling is degenerate, betting isn't.

if gambling was feasible way of making money, casinoes wouldn't exist

remember user that the house always wins, you're better off playing the lottery such as eurojackpot

that said I've netted some 5k€ in my life on slot machines, blackjack and poker but I'm sure that would have turned into a net loss over time

I dunno about that. Shit like roulette, lotteries and stuff are, but some people can make money betting on sport (if they know enough) and cards (if they are smarter than the people they play against)

It's fien when you have a friendly poker game, or go to Vegas and gamble for fun, but when you start losing too much money or have an addiction, or gamble many times a month, then it's degenerate.

> slot machines
> blackjack
> poker

Implying these are at all equivalent. Implying poker and blackjack aren't math based games.

fine*

theres different averages per game, some are factually 50/50 like Baccarat. Look in casinos, the more tables of a certain game there are the more in favour of the house they are.

no argument there but the vast majority of people are unable to divorce themselves emotionally from the activity, hence they blow it all in the end

I went gambling on rare and infrequent occasions only with money I could afford to lose, howeverI know many anons who became regulars and wasted all their money/inheritance believing they will win eventually, they developed a kind of mental issue which lead to lying, swindling and eventual loss of friends and/or sudoku

how do u play roulette? mostly bet on black and red?

I lived in Las Vegas. You can drink and gamble everywhere.

As a fact, gambling is a choice. If you want to throw away your minimum wage so that you can play video poker, that's your choice.

On the other hand, I maintained a decent life only playing blackjack and I have no regrets. I knew when to stop, and I moved away.

It's not "degeneracy", it's about self control.

This is crucial. If you're going to gamble for a living ( like play poker as I do ), you have to remove all emotion from the play and make decisions based purely off numbers.

I find that much of the emotional swings disappear if you practice good BRM, which almost no casual player does. With good BRM even losing multiple buy ins in a row shouldn't stress you out.

>not mahjong

Only valid reason to do it is to launder money.

Anyone doing it who isn't a criminal is retard.

there is """art""" for that.

Doesn't it get extremely boring after a while?

One of my co workers just admitted to me that she has a gambling addiction. Somehow I feel that simply knowing this will get my dick sucked in the future.

It does, that's why I stay in one place for 3-6 months before moving on. It's getting cold here already so il probably head down to Medellin before Halloween.

It's a job, but far more interesting/challenging/stimulating than any 9-5 I could think of. Plus I get to travel the world doing it. Could be a lot worse imo

Not that user but from my experience it's extremely boring and stressful. It's basically grinding, unless you are a real prodigy who can consistently outplay other pro players.

Of course there are several ways.

But gambling is the government approved method here.
The government owns the money laundering casino, so the losses criminals make is essentially tax income which kinda legitimates it.

It's also a very quick and safe method.
You sell a kilo of cocaine in the morning, and you can have it laundered in the evening.
And you don't have to deal with other criminals who might either rip you off or expose you to the police.

for a price

If you're capable of tracking and (((counting cards))), and able to wager $1000, you will go home with profit.

Cleaning money is a stupid excuse.

Buying a used car lot is a cleaner way of hiding dirty cash. Casinos remember you, Police do not care.

I'm ok with this.

Leaf, in his country fag means a cigarette.

Fag in our country, means leafs and other degens.
