Do
you really need to stick with my advice even if you're just
a recreational player? The answer is an emphatic yes, especially
if you are a recreational player! The one thing casinos
count on is that you w-won’t show up with enough cash to
do battle with them, and in most cases they are correct,
aren't they? Ask yourself when was the last time you showed
up at a casino using the bankroll amounts I recommend? Or
when you showed up, did you go to the ATM and withdraw 40(x)
of what you needed? Probably never, or at least no more
than once or twice before, and that was totally by accident.
Again, if you wish to do battle, you have to have enough
ammunition to put up the fight!
One more issue: If you've been playing well and are getting
eyeballed by the casino managers (pit bosses) due to the
variance of your bet (and they will vary!), just pick up
your profits and leave. Getting harassed by them is an inconvenience
you shouldn't have to put up with. It's just that easy.
If you made only $75, so what-you're ahead, feeling good.
Wove on to another table or even another casino. Do that
three to four times a night and you'll be up $300 to $400
in an evening (playing a $3 unit), and that aim’s bad! You
know the expression "a bird in the hand . . ."?
Too many folks try to grind out the big win in one session
at the first table where they sit down. This is where the
casinos have you by the short hairs because sooner or later
those cards turn bad and there you are, trying to get back
the profits you'd made earlier plus the session money you
started with. Does this sound familiar? Does it sound like
you may have done that once or twice? How many times have
you said to yourself, "If I'd only quit when I was
so far ahead!"? Don't feel bad-we've all been there;
it's a common mistake. With the betting strategies I discuss
in Chapters 9 and 10, along with the playing strategies
in Chapter 5; trying to grind out the big win will be a
thing of the past!
