Anyone else love gambling? I'll wager on anything, just to make it more interesting. But table games are my favorite (not much of a races or sports betting man). I've been playin some online roulette recently. Just excess cash so i'm not worried about the eventually bust, but i'm having fun.
So, who else, and what's your game?

Roulettes terrible to gamble on. I play poker whenever I go, which is rare. Way better odds.

I used to play a shit load of poker but I love betting on anything. Adds a level of excitement to anything.

yes yes everyone i'm welllllll aware roulette is the worst game on the table field. but i dont like the others for my own reasons:
-keno: all asians. not much fun table talk there -craps: very fast, and the hard-core gamblers live here. they're sticklers -blackjack: also serious gamblers here. people get lame sometimes if you hti when you shouldn't or don't when you should. fucking up the card rotation or some busllshit.
roulette is the table where everyone goes to have a good time. it's the party place

This is quite true. It's more stress than actually losing. You take a move you shouldn't have and suddenly the table is full of uptight assholes chewing up their martini glasses wanting to kill you.

I used to gamble a lot. Now, I have no interest in it at all, except for poker, and that is more sport than gambling, IMO. They opened a casino near BWI airport in the past year. I walked in with $40 and left with $20. Just about the lamest, whitebread experience one can have in a casino.

I love TX Holdem, play it online all the time and play with friends whenever I can. I end with the tall stack if not a total sweep 75% of the time, my returns from playing are currently at 524%.
If the year continues like this I'm going to save up for the WSOP.

I'm not following this, does someone mind explaining?
I only know a little about Blackjack, and I would love to get into it more.

There's a lot of complex rules on hitting, staying, etc.. One very obvious example that will piss people off....splitting. You almost always split aces and 8's. You never split 10's. So say you get 10's(20), and split anyway. You're likely to either come up low, or bust trying to get back to where you were with your 20. Now suppose you took a card in that split that would have given the guy after you a 20 or 21....he will go nuts on you for this.

Things like hitting on a 14 when the dealer shows 12 and the guy next to you has 11. If you take his 10 and you both bust...youre a dick.

Yeah. For all of those reasons, i avoid the blackjack tables. roulette you're just playin against the wheel. typically, someones very happy. house spins are infrequent unless the table is wrecked.

That BWI airport casino you're thinking of is Maryland Live. If you ever want to go piss away some money, PM me, i'm close.

Lol you might, if I don't have the tall stack by the time I'm heads up I'm hit or miss, still fairly new to the game. Usually do have the tall stack though.
I play on a app called Poker Deluxe, I know they have a website too but I don't know if web can play vs app and vice versa. If you have an account there let me know.
Drives me crazy that you can't play online for real money now, I hope that shit changes soon.

See, I don't know why you shouldn't split on 10's
And regardless, what's the person who goes after my turn matter anyway? Why should I care if I piss him off or not?

Man, I'm expecting to piss a lot of people off when I go to the casino and play Blackjack for the first time.

i went to my local casino earlier in the week to play some poker...i had a bad expirience about a month earlier when a the dealers fucked me over several times over the course of a tournament ( finished second to a man who i should have busted but the dealer mucked my cards)
any way i fold the first few hands...check the BB and fold my garbage. fold the SB. then i have the button, right? wrong! everyone including the dealer says im in the small blind. i have no patience with these inattentive morons so i say if i have to put in a small blind im just going to leave. and so i did. i cashed out my buyin minus a small and big blind.
basically tilted without even playing a hand lol
