In negative-expectation
games, which just about all casino games are, it
is always best to slow down the pace. Remember this:
fast is always good for the casino but never good
for the player. Think of casino gambling the way
you’d think of riding a bicycle into a wall.
Is it better to be going as fast as your legs can
pump or it is better to be going slowly, like a
snail? The only time this isn’t an absolute
truth is on those rare occasions where the players
sometimes have the edge. Then play like a maniac
to get in as many decisions as you can.
Speaking of tips, always
tip good dealers for their good dealing and never
complain to the dealer that you are losing because
one, the dealer is not responsible for your horrid
luck and, two, the dealer doesn’t know you
from Adam and cares less about you than the dust
mites on your eyelids do.
Always bring enough money to the casino to last
the amount of time you intend to play. You never
want to get blown out in the first few minutes of
a session because then you’ll be tempted to
borrow. Never borrow money, either from friends
or fellow players, in order to extend your time
at the tables. And never borrow money from those
credit card advance machines (even for one more
hand or one more spin or one more roll of the dice),
once you have lost your session stake. Especially
never borrow money from guys with colorful names,
like Louie the Lip, or, worse, Louie the Lipless.
These people have been known to have a house edge
sharper than a serpent’s tooth.
Always have a separate
account for your gambling funds. Call this your
401G (for gambling!). Put a little in it each week
and always use the money from this account for gambling
purposes. You'll find that having a gambling account
will give you peace of mind as well as ready funds
when you want to play. And, better still, you'll
never feel guilty should you lose money since that
money was strictly for gambling, not for Lulu's
braces or Timmy's tux for the prom. A gambler who
isn’t sweating the money is a gambler who probably
doesn’t need to reapply his deodorant. People
will also stand near you and not make funny faces
when you aren’t looking.
Always sign up for
a player's card and always use it when you play.
Take advantage of all the freebies that your play
generates but never play more than you intended
just to get comps. Comps can sometimes be a trap
for people who are looking to look like big shots
to the casino bosses and the lovely young things
wiggling around the casinos who, by the way, are
never are interested in you, and could not care
less that you just bet $200 on a hand of blackjack.
And bosses can never be impressed by someone betting
money at a game he has no hope to win at because
bosses think that most gamblers are…you finish
the sentence!
Never flash your money
on the boardwalk or on the streets of a Atlantic
City because you might hurt people’s feelings
that you are so rich and they are so poor and they
might take it into their brains to redistribute
the wealth by knocking you on your noggin. Always
get credit at your favorite casinos so you don’t
have to carry around wads of cash. Credit is great,
as long as you never abuse it, because it is always
an interest free loan from the casinos to you. Unfortunately,
if you lose the money, you have to pay it back.
Always!
Finally, always buy all of Frank Scoblete’s
books and tapes because he’s a great guy and
deserves your patronage...okay, okay, I just threw
that in! (But do it anyway.)
Here’s the real
finally:
Finally, remember that casino gambling should always
bring you a certain level of thrill and enjoyment,
whether you win, lose or draw. If you find that
it doesn’t, you should never play. Life is
just too short to be miserable -- even sometimes.
