  • I was told about this newsgroup and I've been lurking, and I'm afraid that I am a bit disappointed. I came to this group looking for real talk about real action at the tables, and not the results from computers. All this talk about math, all this ...
  • When people call me a "gambler", I kind of get offended. I think of a gambler as someone hooked on the thrill of gambling, and that's not my motivation for playing poker. I treat poker as an intellectual challenge, the same way I'd treat chess. I'm ...
  • This is clipped from an article which I wrote for my web site: Why is it so difficult to win?The first thing which we must consider is that we are trying to do with much less money what the casinos do with millions (or billions) of dollars, and ...
  • I've got my first real B&M trip coming up, and I've been told that standard etiquette for dealer tokes in low-limit games is $1 per pot won. Is that right? Are you really expected to tip every time you win a pot (bigger than a couple BBs)? What if ...

  • I asked this question at the NG sci.math and got these answers. Not that anyone in this group needs convincing, or that ADCOC will change his tune, just thought some 'peer review' might be interesting: [nq:1]Can the casino game of craps be properly ...
  • With the holidays ahead, Stash and I will probably have a casino night in the next three weeks or so. I haven't played craps for awhile because my friend doesn't like it and we go to the casino as a "ladies' day out". But I've been trying out a ...
  • I didn't win much. Didn't lose any of course. If you usually bet $5 no odds on the passline then I won $30. If you usually bet $25 on the passline with double odds then I won $450. The two family members with me playing my craps system won 25% ...
