I don't really play anything else for money. Except sports bets, I guess. But if I did, it'd be Roulette. I have an unbeatable strategy. Unfortunately it requires more money than I can afford right now.

Roulette every time, with solid play you should be able to turn a profit. Unfortunately, two of my local casino's now appear to change dealers every 7 or 8 spins when I'm on a table. Did have one really good result one night, had won approx £700 ($1300) and had cashed in except for a pony, my brother was still playing one of the tables and I was watching. They called last spin (casino's here used to close about 4 AM) and the dealer got the ball rolling, I threw my last chip to the dealer and asked for zero and splits by £5, £5 on 26. You guessed it, hit zero and they couldn't invite me into the private room because they were closing. Haven't been back to that one since

I used to gamble a lot, mainly on soccer and hockey, but haven't been doing much of that. Apart from poker and the occasional lottery, I don't play much for money. Only when I go out to bars/clubs, then I always play some blackjack and/or roulette.

I try to play Blackjack for money. All I know is that I'm not old enough to play Bingo for money. That won't be until I'm 65 years old.

Ahhhhh Craps, what a great game to pass the time. I have occupied (15 hours like it was 15 minutes) my share of craps tables and consider it to be my favorite casino game other than poker.

Although a negative expectation game, my favorite gambling game other than poker has to be craps. My blood and adrenaline positively flows through my body when standing at the craps table. All my friends and family know if I am winning at the craps table because they can hear me from across the casino yelling, 'Yeah' or 'Weeeeeeeeeeeeee'.

I like just about anything you can bet money on, makes it that much more fun.


See you around the gambling halls

wow, im surprised ive been the only one to vote for Pai Gow. Especially considering it is one of the better casino games odds wise since you can the banker. Although it really sucks that they take 5% commision. One time at the Montreal Casino, where the min bet is $50 a hand, i was playing and had $450 for a $350 profit plus a $2.50 chip. So i said to myself that once I won 1 more hand, which would get rid of the 2.50 chip, I would Leave. I went on to lose the next 9 hands. Come to think of it, I hate pai gow, but i hate other casino games more.

The first line is a false statement. If roulette was potentially a ev+ game it wouldnt be on the casino floor. Explain what "solid" play consists of, lol. Pick a number and spin the wheel. How can you make a move that is solid when every choice has payout odds less than true odds.

Some people are just lucky in roulette I used to play it and do very well. I had a set group of numbers I always played, and more often than not, they'd hit. Actually had 4 people at the boat one night capping my bets with their chips saying how "lucky" I was LOL I can't call it a "system" - but I always played the same numbers and always came out a winner...then again, knowing when enough is enough is a huge part of that....too many people win 4 or 5 times then don't walk away....and end up losing it all. The best run I ever had on roulette was one night I started out at a $5 min table with $20 and walked away with almost $200. Doesn't seem like much, but to me it was more than I started with so I was happy

Default I bet you

everything is a gamble - driving to work this morning while the wildlife did their daily routine surprised me today.

can't wait for the Fantasy Football season to get here now! (poker players are NFL freaks too)


I bet that there will be a huge winner, and they will come from rakeback.

Anyone win more than $10,000 in a game on line?

I'm willing to play almost anything for money as long as there is some semblance of skill involved and I at least get some control over what the result is.

Just explain the rules and I'm there!

Default I gamble on 5 diff games

Poker, pool, golf, backgammon, and chess. All 5 require skill and handicapping skills as well. I wont touch a game that has house odds.
Chess is the king of em all because their is no luck involved, none. Can anyone think of another "game" that has 0 luck factor?
