Is working at a casino satisfying?

Kiwiguy, you obviously don't know much about this.

Dealers often try to shoot for a particular part of the wheel, simply because they are bored. Some very experienced but nasty dealers will actually aim for the part of the wheel with the least bets. This isn't silly ploppy talk, I'm saying this as an advantage player.

As to predicting where the ball will land based on physics, it's very hard to compute, even once you have a formula. Very few people are able to do this.

There are computers that will do the same thing, and can get a significant edge. I thought about buying one. In the end, the risk of getting caught, and the limited earning potential is what kept me away.

"have yet to see anyone win long term at roulette."

It's unlikely that you'll ever come across someone able to beat roulette in some way (even if you work in a casino). Roulette advantage players are EXTREMELY rare.

Sports has the most potential for all advantage player. The edge you can gain can be significant, and the betting limits are MUCH higher. Therefore you can turnover much more, which = profit.

Mr J,
As far as I'm concerned subject closed. You seem to know it all so I will say no more. I'm just saying that long term a player will not win at roulette. Apart from my say so there are countless books that say exactly the same.

Moeee,
I don't work at the casino I observe and record data from casino games for pleasure and hopefully profit.

"I'm just saying that long term a player will not win at roulette."

And I'm saying there are a handful that have the skills/equipment to be able to.

Craps is also beatable.

CRAPS !!!!

Yeah, I love that word, I see a lot of it on these forums.

Squirter.

A case of different strokes for different blokes.
I am happy for you that you get pleasure from your chosen activity,but when I see the amount of financial expenditure expended to set up a casino,I don't fancy your chances of profit unless they see you there so much they offer you a job.

Hope they don't start charging you rent.

Cheers - Mo.

P.s. Can't believe this thread has had so many posts.

Moeee,
Read my thread on baccarat.
Cheers,
Kiwiguy

Yes Kiwiguy,I read your baccarat thread.
You know,I spend a few evenings a week at the local TAB.
And many times I say to fellow punters,If I walk out with about what I walked in with,I count it as a successful night.
There is more to punting than just winning.
If you can find an interesting way to bet and buy a lot of time with a little loss,then you can get much satisfaction.
BUT!.Keep away from anything that involves spinning wheels or discs.
Exception being Two-up if they have it.

Just be careful you don't give up your day job.:smile:
