      When I lived in Florida I went to the Hard Rock in Mississippi and would win a few hundred bucks every time I went and I got comps on rooms & food...BUT!!! Although Casinos have to have so many winners for so much money in a day so said the Gaming commission ...... The overall odds is you will still lose....

      The only thing I will play at a casino is real poker. You are playing the other players and not the house. Skill will win over the less skilled players almost all of the time.

      99% of gamblers lose their money. 100% of Casino Owners make gamblers money.

      I have investigated Casinos winning time and the over all loosing period I can say that there is never a winner in gambling. The only advice in this gaming is to stop gambling. Not only people are losing their fortune to the tricked hope ruled by professionel controlers of the machines but they are also developping such complex health deteriorations from the excess smokes. unhealthy beverage distributions and emotional distress. Think about it, I am a gambler and I hate it.

        Not the only way. Learn to count cards, then play Blackjack, and Blackjack only.

        There are winners in gambling. They are the ones that win at first and never go back. But that's the only way you'll remain a winner.

      I spent half a lifetime working in casinos on three continents, so I know this. If you play you are an idiot. Billion dollar casinos do not get built for winners.

      Come on idiots, keep thinking you can win, waste your money, we love taking it. Just remember to tip your dealer, the house rips them off too.

      When you loose in Casino, you also Loose your own self Confidence, and you ruin your job , your carrier, and your business, if you have any. Not only you hurt yourself, but you hurt your family. If you win , you go back to play again and eventually you loose, If you win , you spend that money like an idiot in minutes, only to regret later on. Casino, Wall Street and Insurance , Medicare, Lottery , Tobacco, Alcohol, are nothing but the government sponsored addiction's to ruin you and your family.

      I am a proud owner of a few winning streaks.

      1. 1992 I won 12 days in a row at the Frontier and Desert Inn playing blackjack before dropping 500 bucks on the 13th day.
      2. 2009 I won 23 days in a row at the Empress Casino in Joliet, Il. playing Blackjack. On the 24th day I lost $160.00
      3. 2010 I won 21 days in a row playing roulette making the same bet over and over. Then next day the casino missing my numbers 15 spins in a row.

      I believe I hold the record in Illinois more most consecutive days cashing out a winner. There are hours of video tape to back up my claims.

      Yes. People can and do win. There's this thing called "the long run". There are a few games where in the long run, playing best strategy, everyone can come out a winner. I am one of those people. My overall record in somewhere like 120-45 where I cashed out a winner 120 times and left broke 45.

      The closer you are to a casino, the easier winning can be.

        actually I did count cards for awhile, and made some money. It took me a couple weeks to get the hang of it. At the end I could talk to people while doing it. The trick is to keep track of the true count by grouping the 2 cards as each player receives them. That way a lot of hands simply cancel and don't influence the count. I quit because the casino started replacing all the hand shuffle tables with shuffle master ones.

        I believe in the long run in blackjack as long as it's hand shuffled. I wouldn't even play blackjack on a table that used a shuffle master.

        I guess you know that the powerball is $320,000,000. Don't forget your numbers. I use a system it's a 2if2 + 4if4 and 4if5 grid. Pick 16 numbers play 15 tickets. Me, my mom and sister each put in 20 so we have 30 tickets. Good chance to get the powerball at least.

        I can't really help with the blackjack. Just learn basic strategy. Counting cards will take years of practice, but once you learn, you never forget.

        Roulette requires knowing the number patterns on the wheel. 12way bets require a modified martingale to be any effective. goes like this 5, 5, 5, 10, 20, ect...MAX. Again lose 100 and try again later.

        The only other bet I recommend is betting bank and baccarat. Look for an evenly balanced table where the player and banker win about the same number of hands. Bet 5 10 30 65. Always raise after a loss. If you lose 4 hand in a row, you're out 100 and walk away. The only time I lost I bet banker on a player heavy table. Player kept winning.

        Maybe better luck next time.

        if you lived another 100 years and played like that, you would lose everything. Because our lifetimes are short, and the population of gamblers are sufficiently large, some of us will defy the odds and win over that short period of time we are alive. If you increase your sample size, or your years gambling, the probability of beating the house will approach zero.

      You can actually win in a casino if you can control yourself. Even slot machines will initially pay before it starts to take your money. You can win everyday if your target is small, say US$200.00. You may bring a few thousands to the casino but make your target small. I'm sure you will win everyday- 365 days a year. That will be an annual income of $73,000.00 a year. The key to success is self-control and self-discipline. Don't continue once your target for the day is achieved. If you follow this game plan you might just strike the jackpot in one of your daily session. Good luck.
