Your Wins/Losses in Non-Poker related gambling
 

2+2 is a poker community where lots of pople are winning money. But poker is also gambling, and a lot of poker players have some gambooool in them, so I was wondering what non-poker related game do you play the most and how you've fared in them?

This poll is too vague. Just because you're not playing poker, doesn't mean it's -EV gambooooooooling. I've done a lot of bonus whoring playing BJ, VP, craps, baccarat, and sports betting.

The casino whoring aspect really changes this... and Video Poker is a must for this poll.

+400 or so on horses (3 trips betting on names):
-Beginner's luck exacta +450
-Dropped 80 or so 2nd time
-Won back 25 the last time

Maybe +150 on random prop/sports betting with friends.

+500ish on blackjack while whoring (not including the bonuses themselves).

...and +20 on craps at reefclub while learning how to play (Vegas plans in November).

-500ish BJ
-200ish Pai Gow
-600ish Sports
-40ish Keno
-200ish Roulette
-100ish Video Poker

This is over 4 years of being in casinos all the frickin time. I'd say thats pretty good [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Thank god for poker and short waiting lists.

EDIT: I forgot. I'm +200 on the ponies. One of my local cardrooms recently became a OTB site. EVIL.

I'm up close to 200k at blackjack lifetime.

Re: Your Wins/Losses in Non-Poker related gambling
 

I'm assuming that we are counting blackjack or VP whoring as still blackjack or VP. So I am up way more than in just normal playing. Probably up like $5-$10K with whoring, and maybe up like $1K (just by pure chance) with normal playing.

I have seven clubs that will give RFB anytime -- and one that will do RFBA. I often value that more than my winnings, even though I never include it in my accounting. I've seen all of the major entertainment over the last 30 years, from the best seats in the house -- and frequently been invited backstage. How do you put a value on that?

Ex semi pro horseplayer. Winnings over 6 figures. Still love horseracing but poker has so much less variance and I don't have to work as hard at poker. I will return one day.
