what NOT to do

[AnandMajumdar]

dear all,

this forum is literally an extensive resource of information about the game. lots of very complicated strategies, systems, info about casinos, teaching, testing etc. it is very valuable for the player and sometimes very overwhelming to a newbie..

while there are multiple threads telling ppl what to do, i feel a thread should be there about what NOT to do. it could be extremely useful for a newbie to not try and commit stupid mistakes in trying to beat the game and losing money, and quitting completely. the information could be bulleted so that it is a ready reckoner for new players.

in all humility i wish to request the moderators/administrators if they are listening , if this thread could be made a sticky and "pinned to the top" somewhere it will not escape the eyes of every new person. it will save a lot of easy money of a lot of good people


i have made a short list of things not to do. pls add to it..


1. never use martingale or similar strategies which use negative progressions. never try to recover losses at one shot by increasing the bets irrationally. it is always a loser

2. dont play RNGs or random number generators. you are not playing roulette. there is no ball, no wheel, no dealer. hence no roulette.

3. dont cancel your withdraw requests from casinos even though you may be persuaded to do so. withdraw your money timely always

4. dont EVER pay money to buy or purchase a system. ALL the people out there who sell are out to con you. if someones system would really work so well, why would they waste effort to sell it to you ? they would just use it and make easy money. plus if roulette was 100% beatable all the time, then the casinos would not offer the game.

5. never play under the influence of alcohol, boredom, tiredness, dis-interest

6. never try to beat infinity. over an infinite number of spins the game cant be beaten. be cautious with your bankroll. never gamble with money u cant afford to lose.

7. dont start playing without adequate training and testing.

dear victor,

Are we playing at home or in a casino?  Makes a lot of difference to me.

Sticky it is! I'm with you knowing the downsides is very important. To cut a losing cycle you must first be proficient at recognizing you are at a losing cycle! And of course, you must act properly: bet the very minimum to lose the least while it lasts.

Of course, when experiencing a clear positive cycle, then you can take the risk and try to cancel those losses you minimized by betting the least.

This is my passive-agressive approach, and guess what; applied to many methods, it does work under regular conditions (i.e. hits coming near -or not enormously below- the expected rate). Of course, nothing beats a huge dispersion of hits and never to have the chance of backing up a winner, but once you get the hang of the math of the game, you notice you even have guaranteed hits waiting for you by the game's very own nature at your regular sessions. This is what you should exploit with proper management.

Kind regards,
Victor

I prefer home. In the casino you have more time though. I guess it depends the strategy you're playing, how much times it need to place your bets.

In keeping with the spirit of Anand's thread........

It makes a world of difference whether or not he is talking about a bricks-and-sticks joint or an online casino.  Anand, perhaps you should specify which you are talking about if you want this thread to continue.

i think my points 2 and 3 have relevance only to an online casino. but the rest may apply to both. twocat, when i made the post i didnt really think whether online or landbased, i was just referring to the game. but maybe u r right..maybe there can be specific points for both online and land based.

for eg.. in a landbased casino

8. do not be too flashy/attract attention to yourself. keep a low profile. do you think thats relevant ?

9. avoid quarrels or arguments with ppl/staff ? know the rules of the house really well.

ONLINE.......turn off the phones.  Disconnect the door bell.  Close the door.  Pull the shades.  Go to the bathroom.  Have your pencils, charts, and calculator at your fingertips.  Oh, and wait until the wife goes shopping.  Possibly hit the cell phone with a hammer, but that's optional.

IN PERSON....be UNavailable for comment and questions.  Keep your head low and concentrate on your work.  Pretend your deaf.  Do not kill the person who walks up and asks you to teach them the system you've spent two years learning....oh, and do it before the next spin!  Go to the bathroom and do not drink or eat.  Stand up often to keep mentally alert.  Do NOT celebrate wins.  Do NOT react to loses.  Try to emulate Mr. Spock of Star Trek and have no emotion.  Pay no attention if the dealer/s make fun of you.  That's them telling you they are afraid you'll win.  And...oh, yes, have fun!

Andy, to me there is a world of difference between online and live.  I would ten times rather be locked in my room than in a casino.  Not that you and I couldn't have a good time playing together at TwoCat Casino!!

very very valuable.

i dont have that kind of experience so its good to have ur posts.. come to think of it both are really very different.

how about "run for an hour before playing a session" .. gary kasparov ran for an hour on the treadmill, before every match. he played his best then. physical exertion stimulates the best brain cells.

(i want the nicest women, oldest wine and reversed house edge at twocat casino.)

[TwoCatSam]

At TwoCat casino we supply the women and wine and take your money!!
