I was up to $500 two nights ago and was going to repay my donation plus interest but ended up with only $40 left before I logged off. I'm back up to $100 and this time, when I hit $400 I'll repay my loan

I'm up $300+ for the day to just over $1700... time to step away from the Blackjack table for awhile.

So today I started out thinking I'd begin with small bets to test the waters and I get four natural blackjacks in a row! That's a first! Too bad I was only doing penny bets... :rolleyes:

Nope. Hard to believe that I coulda' been on top with $70,000+ huh? I'm by far the most reckless gambler on there aren't I?

Mustang;944272 wrote: Yes but can he do it again!!:D I will be waiting on the top for you G-Man. :p

Yep... let's see considering that I was at $0 over the weekend... and I average $300 or so from maybe a dozen bets... I should make it back to $2000 before the weekend. Then the decision will be... do I blow it all again or donate it all away... and try again next week?

G-man · Post by **G-man** » Thu Aug 07, 2008 10:04 am

So what's everyone's strategy? Are most of you using the Martingale or "doubling-up" system, in which bets are doubled progressively?

chonsigirl · Post by **chonsigirl** » Thu Aug 07, 2008 10:10 am

I'm still at $1 a bet, and haven't done too bad....................

In all honesty, I probably make 3-4 $5 bets a day, the rest is all $1 bets on BJ and roulette. I never bet $10.

Shshshsh don't tell the G-Man how to do it. I see chonsigirl is a fast learner.

G-man · Post by **G-man** » Thu Aug 07, 2008 10:57 am

I mix 'em up... I did make a point of analyzing the blackjack_deal.php code for my most recent strategy... it seems to be working just fine.

For roulette... I like Einstein's quote regarding that:

"No one can possibly win at roulette unless he steals money from the table while the croupier isn't looking." — Albert Einstein

chonsigirl · Post by **chonsigirl** » Thu Aug 07, 2008 10:59 am

What a great quote. Seems to me Einstein made quite a few gambling quotes, that old statistician.

God does not play dice.-Einstein

Hmm, is that why there's no crap table in there........
