I’ll check it out.

I go to Vegas Odds dotcom and scour the stats for bad match ups

Sometimes you’ll see a pitcher who’s like 9-2 vs some guy who’s 2-6

That and their home and away stats

Tbh I’d rather I didn’t gamble at all. Over time everyone always ends up losing.

I went through a phase where I thought I was clever enough to win at blackjack

lulzzzz

In Biloxi they use 6 decks and shuffle them with about two decks left. I used to have a buddy and we had a system. I would watch aces and “tens” and turn my beer clockwise as they came out of the deck. He would watch what we considered “bust cards” (4-6) and rotate his beer counterclockwise. Supposedly, if his beer was at 9 o’clock and mine was still close to noon it meant the cards were ripe for blackjacks and we’d increase our bets. If my beer hit two o’clock I wouldn’t play out the shoe.

One day the cards were hella in our favor but I kept ****ing losing anyway. I got so pissed off I swore off blackjack forever. I was ****ing furious. Sometimes when I lost at blackjack I really felt like killing myself.

I devised that system of using the beers as markers but yeah gambling sucks the dong. Casinos are ****ing ugly. And winning at cards is such an insane high. It feels so good to win a big hand. Whatever reward center it hits in my brain it’s better than getting my dick sucked. There’s something about the rhythm of blackjack when you know basic strategy perfectly down pat. It’s mesmerizing. In a very dangerous way.

one week my suck ass roommate won and didn't even know he won, you'd think he was rubbing it in "Oh is this hand better?"

Wow

I used to play in a house game. I wouldn’t drink. I would wait it out until someone got drunk and made a stupid bet. Eventually they started up with rules that you couldn’t just walk off whenever you wanted like it was monopoly or some **** so I quit playing. I’d win one impulsive drunken hand that put me up and pocket it and leave. They’d be like **** you and I’d be like k thanx, night.

I'm not about to take more than $10 from my roommates

Yep... cash ... I’ll take every cent someone has ... the stakes are the stakes ... I could just as easily lose it ... with only ten dollars on the line that’s not really poker but you know it’s cool if it’s enjoyable ... I wouldn’t enjoy that

If I far enough got out ahead I’d just ante and fold and be real slow about it. I don’t bet for fun or camaraderie. If you just want a play a game I’ll kick your ass in scrabble. I’m not very good at poker and I don’t think it’s very fun.

The funniest thing would be to stop playing with him now that he understands the game.
