Gambling ?

[johnboy1974]

I think there is a huge difference between buying a ticket for the lottery and betting in a casino or on a horse (not that I do it too often)

There is something exciting about the last two .... whereas the lottery is just a case of ....check the numbers ..... didn't win ....try again next week, I think it lacks the thrill of real 'gambling'.

I think its the odds hoggy with the casino or horses you really do have a chance of a win and a fighting chance it is too- But the lottery its 14 million to one.

I wish all gambling in UK will be banned in the next election?????

If they did that you'll see a lot of illegal back room casinos opening up. All within shouting distance of the local chinese takeaways.
Would probably see quite a few leave the country as well. The chinese love to gamble.

Try going to the casino on a tuesday night... Nothing but 'love you long time'

That?s why we have law and order

There are no casinos in Saudi Arabia and most African countries why can?t we close them, they have ruined life of many citizens.

I think you'll find loads of back room casinos in parts of Africa. Illegal or not, organized crime has always found a way to give people what they want.

Keeping it legal stops the dodgy back room shite from becoming a problem.

I do not know about horses but casino roulettes are fixed numbers by experts.

I personally thought casino would have been a lucky game but it?s not.

They may let you win if they wanted to; it?s a matter of choice.

You may not believe me but luck does not take part in casino!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

are you saying roullette is fixed?

if so that is utter nonsense,

roulette is random with the odds stacked slightly against you.

[footycard steve]

they wont outlaw gambling why should the minority who cant control themselves spoil it for the millions of people that enjoy a gamble every day/week/year responsibly there are far bigger problems in society than gamblimng,you never hear of burglers or muggers stealing to fund their gambling habit! if you dont like gambling its just tough as its getting bigger and more popular if anything.

I could not believe it as you have asked in open forum I will answer that it is fixed....................

My neighbour about nine years ago used to go to casino every day, and one day he came round to my house and told me to take him to casino, I later found out he lost his driving licence on drink drive.

To cut the storey short, this man used to play every table outside from 1-18 and second dozens, and I never saw him playing third dozens in any casino for the past three years.

He was a regular player in a casino which was closed nine years ago, but what I saw that last day of the game was deferent.

There were 5 tables and he started playing all the tables at a time, because he was able to play outside from 1-18 he could cover most table, he started playing from 9.00pm until he ran out of money at 2.00am losing ?4000 not one table came up with the number 1-18.

When he went to get more money from cash machine all the table started coming numbers 1-18, as soon as he started playing again all the high numbers started coming again and it was early closing 9 years ago 4.00am

He must have lost over?6000 that night and I do not think that was a bad luck.

I've seen consecutive red for 18 spins. Also seen 22 spin up three times in a row... then twice more within 5 spins.

That doesn't mean it was fixed. If it was then my friend did it as he always covers 22.

A good croupier can pick a quarter of the wheel & most times hit within that quarter. That's the closest you'll get to 'fixing' a roulette table in licensed casinos.

Think you've been watching too many gangster films.

yes , i am afraid it is bad luck....
each spin is independant from the last spin,
so long periods when any givin numbers dont comeup is inevitable.
i am speaking from experience as i have worked in casino's in the past.

like canker said,
long periods of all reds or all blacks is a normal occurance.

your chance of picking correct number on roulette (uk tables ) is 37/1.
whereas the casino will payout 36/1 on correct number.
this works out at average percentage payout of 97% roughly,but it is random.

each spin of the wheel is independant of previous spins,
this means if you play long enough then you will always eventually loose everything.

uk casinos are heavily regulated, cheating doesn't happen...

You do not have to believe me,

One table one night I may believe he had a very bad luck.

Remember what I wrote having high number coming on all 6 tables all night if that is bad luck, you will believe anything???????????

Its all fixed I sure the lotto down to the horses , but its fun if you not stupid .The house always wins

[flyingpig]

I have a 50p bet on the fixed odds on the footy on a saturday and I even let my 12 year old boy pick teams and results on his own line -- it adds to the excitement on a saturday with teh footy.. We never win though, but its always good fun.

A bet on the Lottery every week - that is gambling as well - lets not forget that.

The House always wins in the casino. The only time that there is any skill in a casino game is Poker - that is where you are leveraging your bet and odds that you could of or should of worked out, and trying to lose as little as possible and win as much as you can. But the house wins coz you pay a fee regardless...... But you are in control of it.
