You can never make money off gambeling or especially off blackjack. My friend won $50 but then he kept on playing and eventually ended up loosing $200.

Not true really... I play blackjack from time to time and do ok. Last time I was in Vegas I came out with a few hundred bucks extra in my pocket. I wouldn't choose it as a career though :crazy:

Do they card at the Casinos? There's that big Mohegan Sun casino here in CT. My best friend's wannabe boyfriend is supposed to be taking her there tomorrow and she wants me to go but I'm not the big 21 till Oct. I have a fake i.d. You think I would get arrested if I got caught out?

They don't card very often, but they do card you. If you're underage they just boot you, but I'm not sure of the consequences of a fake id.

Want to know what I heard about Casinos? I heard something about how they make the air content have more oxygen in it (I'm assuming they just pump it in there somehow) so it makes you feel all nice. I guess you can catch a buzz off of pure oxygen.

True dat. The secret to doing well in Las Vegas is this:

Go sit at bar and begin slowly playing the little bar game stuff at the bar. You're gambling.....so you get free drinks. Give the bartender a nice tip to begin with and he'll give you quick service with well-made drinks.....very slowly keep plopping money into the game machine and think of it like paying very little for lots of good alcohol. :) You may not make much money, but it's a lot cheaper than other types of gambling or buying drinks at a bar. :)

That's shady business!!! I just thought of a new job. You can get watches in NY city for like $5. I'm just going to go there and buy them in bulk and then go to the casino and sell them. No, I'm really not but it would be pretty funny if I was peddling watches out of a suitcase. :yes:

Yah I've been "gambling". I play the slots though. Yah the flashy lights get me! I came home with a dollar from Vegas. I spent $15 on slots and won $16. I don't get all the rules to all the card games. Oh...and whoever said about they were winning at blackjack and then a new dealer came to the table and you lost it all....there is a reason for that. They watch every table and if someone is "shellin" out a lot of winnings they'll change the dealer. It's how the casinos make their $$.

It's all shady business. The free drinks. The oxygen to get you feeling all nice. NO watches or clocks. Switching up the dealers. 20/20 should know about this. :yes:

yes it is...but that's better than my uncle who lost $400,000 AND his wife... i play everything except slots... craps, poker, black jack etc... last year i grossed $80,000 in poker alone. this year didn't fare too well, oh well...better luck next time.
