FWIW, I know a highly intelligent & wealthy doctor who regularly go's to the casino, and was convinced he was a winner using his own "doubling up system" until I proved it to him otherwise.

It always amazes me how smart people can be so dumb when it comes to gambling. I have a very smart friend, who ironically was a math major, who tried to argue with me that someone can beat craps by picking the right time to bet on a hot roller.

I do this...play pass line a few rounds...pick out who actually nailed a few numbers and then start feeding the come spot when it gets to their turn...

Similar situation - I have two friends who for the longest time argued with me that one could beat roulette by picking up on patterns. What was so surprising is that they are two of the best mathematicians I know - both have masters in systems engineering and both are getting their PhDs in experimental design systems.

Their argument was basically "any pattern must end at some point, so the longer a pattern lasts, the more likely it is to end soon." It struck me as an absoludicrous argument, but they just kept telling me that the mathematics behind it is over my head.

Then, I finally figured out what they were talking about - if a pattern last long enough, that indicates that the roulette wheel is flawed. They confirmed that this was all they were saying... DUH

You can beat craps if you pick the right time to bet on a hot roller. Unfortunately, you can't pick that time correctly until *after* the guy has rolled, at which point most casinos won't book the action. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

While I was a student in college, I hit upon the only 100% guaranteed sure-fire way to profit in the casino. I used the method to pay my way through college; I came away with a profit from EVERY session. I'm not sure if I should share my method publicly, though. . .

Hint: my method required getting a dealer's license.

Thus fueling the debate for banning online gambling in the U.S. Not only that but these games are taking money away from the same people many on here profit from week in and week out.

To be honest with you, I wouldn't mind if every form of online gambling except poker got banned, but I realize that poker is likely in the same boat as blackjack.

the sickest people I've seen lose the most money at BJ or other gambling are damn near great poker players. To say people losing at online BJ is taking money out of your pocket isn't quite true. People who keep 20k+ in their accounts almost always are not fish.
