Setting and influencing the dice roll is just part of the picture. To beat the dice you have to know how to bet the dice. Whether you call it a "system," a "strategy," or just a way to play - this is the place to discuss it.
I keep my bankroll intact, never spending anything out of it . I guess I should call it entertainment money . It is only used for play at the craps table and sometimes a little dabble in video poker (and I do mean a little dabble). Gail gets pissed off when I hit four of a kinds and Royal flushes playing a penny at a time . If I splurge , I may put a $5 bill in a machine and Oscar`s grind 5 cent units at a time.
Gail`s sitting there playing $1 Video poker , hitting nothing . Of course when I hit four of a kind , collecting 25 cents , she begins telling me how much she would have won had she hit that. Hehehe.
I tell her I would rather be a 25 cent winner , than a $20 loser.
I actually came home from our New Year trip winning $4.85 playing nickle video poker. I did put that money in Gail`s tip jar , instead of my gambling bankroll , to be used , by Gail on future trips for tips.
I want to use my bankroll to provide my living expenses. That is my goal at least by dec 15, 2013. I had the same goal for 2012....didnt quite make it. =)
