I won $10,000 on a $10 sucker bet. It had never happened before in the casinos history. there's a picture on the wall with me and all the dealers/employees. The next time I came to that casino, that particular blackjack game was gone. As soon as someone actually wins a jackpot they change the game.
as your walking into the casino...pull all your money out...fold it in half..put it back into wallet....there...you just doubled your money....walk away
Just remember that every time someone finds a way to beat the game, the casinos change the rules or procedures. Go back and look at the rules from 30-40 years ago. They're may be different and/or the procedures are different if people had found out how to beat those games. Remember the video says the casinos are never going to give you a percentage that's in your favor. Better odds just me and you'll lose your money a little more slowly. A great example is when the MIT teams found ways to beat the games, the casinos made drastic changes so that wouldn't happen again.
Really good video. All the various ways to gamble along with the odds is something I've never seen put together so well. And the competition at the end was great fun. What struck me was the souless professional saying that consistent winning is just a hard grind, taking all the fun out of it. Odd that playing the stock or currency market is all about work but gets more enjoyable the more you do it.
You're paying for the social experience, the rush, and the decor. This, "don't go, don't lose", mentality is true if you have no friends and are not interested in having any.
Also sign up for the players card, every time you lose $10k you get a free tuna sandwich.
You can leave Vegas with a small fortune, but that's usually done by starting with a large one.
I went to Vegas in a $70,000 Lexus and came home in a $700,000 Greyhound bus...
Fun video Shamus!! Keep em coming! I love the trivia section

a dumb bet is to step into a casino and believe you are going to walk out with more money than you came in with.
My favorite Vegas documentary! 😀
Pretty dope music throughout the documentary!

"Winning is not an event, its a process"
Thanks for posting this video. I used to love these shows on the Travel Channel. Now all they got is stupid ghost shit lol
The only way to walk out of a casino with $1M...is to walk in with 2...
Makes me miss the 80's.
