I suck at betting sports. I think I've maybe won one sports bet, ever.

Craps is my favorite casino game, and I play roulette and blackjack when craps isn't going well. Can't get into slot machines.

No. Pete Rose did, however. You might try calling him.

Hello my name is The Big Train,

Whenever I go to a casino I play until all my money is gone, thanks for listening.

That's a terrible strategy, Big Train.

Hmm okay

I bet baseball. It really is not too bad as long as you are willing to stick out the marathon. Just bet pitching matchups and you will win the majority of the time. Have to be willing to play the favorites in baseball to consistently win though. Hurts the payout for any particular bet, but in the long run it pays off.

A few seasons ago I bet against the Royals every game for $10 against the 1.5 run spread. Think I ended up winning like $150 or something...

Should probably go in the Shame Yourself thread

I bet baseball casually. But College fball is my 2nd job.

I bet it from time to time, but like you said it's such a long season and my BBIQ has dropped over the last few years

If you want to do it, I would wait until about the second week of May. By then you will have a better feel for what teams are and which pitchers are actually going to have good years. You will also have enough of a sample size to be able to effectively use pitching stats when making your bets.

I know a guy who would stay up until the wee hours of the morning because he had money on a cricket game in Bangladesh!

I am probably the best sports bettor any of you know. I'm not exaggerating here. I'm unbelievably good. Ask J Rake if you don't believe me.

EllRobersonisInnocent · « **Reply #17 on:** April 12, 2013, 10:57:50 AM »

I do pretty well betting soccer. One of the easier sports to gauge imo

never played baccarat. roulette is fun though, just mindless entertainment and pure luck.

also I should correct my earlier statement because I do like the slot machines in downtown vegas at mermaids. you can sit there with $5 in nickels and get as many free drinks as you want and their wait service is amazing. last time I was there I got plastered and won like $2 on the slot machine. my only cost was tips so it was like 11 bucks or something.

steve dave · « **Reply #19 on:** April 12, 2013, 11:48:20 AM »

roulette is the best completely blasted game imo. my bros and I spend our entire time at the roulette table explaining to other players our intricate system and what the system says to play in each instance (only black or red).

"yes, this is a strong play for black here. everyone double your bets"

I'm great if it comes to simple Team A vs Team B who do you think will win bets but spreads would eff me up

Does J rake have his own betting website or newsletter, cause I would totally pay for that, or is that included in premium?

I'm a huge FP when it comes to gambling. The only thing I can stomach is poker.

I don't like gambling, because the odds are against you. Literally!
