Hi y'all,

I know LVD quite well. He is able to 'grind'--we worked together on a method for around 6 weeks together and we were working a good 20 hours a week playing craps; another flat-bet grind method.

I have 'heel' issues--so I just can't stand on my feet more than a few hours; but 'ol LVD can pound out the hours.

Wish you the best you little pimp!

p.s. I have been involved in gaming for 25+ years now (in one way or another). Only one way to work an edge is with repeated probability cycles and meticulous record keeping with a very gradual increase in unit size with heavy bankroll to back you up during 'variances.'

Alright. Here’s the thing. You only play premium hands. You only start with Jacks or better split. Nines or better wired. Three high cards to a flush. If it’s good enough to call, you got to be in there raising. Alright, I mean tight but aggressive.

Haha, I got a kick out of reading through this thread. You sir, are an idiot. Do you not think that any possible system has already been accounted for and debunked? I love how you describe it though, like you and your $5 bet bankroll has developed something that can take down the house.

All the power to you though, thanks for supporting the local economy. When it is all said and done, just remember everyone here saying "We told you so!".

Also funny. Thanks for trying to sound smart, you may have fooled a couple of us (ok, maybe nobody).

So how much money do you have packed away for retirement? Let's just let everyones numbers do the talking of how smart they are.

Wrong. Get your numbers straight.

If you are doing a cash advance from a credit card, it could possibly cost 9%. However, if you are doing an ATM withdraw from checking, it is a flat fee, I think most of the casinos are $4.00.

I worked in the cage at the Cosmopolitan....

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A $4 ATM FEE... AND NO IT IS NOT A FLAT FEE AT THE CASINO....

So prove yourself, go get a grand, and let's see the $4 fee

I've been involved in and around Casino Gaming since 1962. both HERE and Atlantic City.

One thing I have learned.....treat it as fun and entertainment because they didn't build these joints by payin winners.

If there was a gambling 'system' that consistently worked, these casinos wouldn't be here. Yes, you can get lucky and win.....once in a while!

Las Vegas needs more people to have these 'systems', our unemployment rate wouldn't be so high.

These two sets are disjoint:

The set of people who believe they have a "system" to beat the casino

The set of people who have a high school math education or better

Hi,

Perhaps I should have been more clear. I wrote I was involved in the gaming industry for 25+ years; not 'I am a professional full-time gambler who earns my main income gaming.'

I work 50+ hours a week in finance and gaming has (at times) been a SERIOUS hobby (up to 20hours a week) for stretches as long as many months; some years it is just a fun weekend every 2 months.

I did not mean to mislead anyone by writing I was a pro. Just 'heavily' involved at times for many many years.

When I worked with LVD it was mainly after my work and on weekends and we were rigorously testing a methodology.

Thanks for the reply!

peace
