Im pretty good with card games. Always wanted to start gambling as a hustle... yeah thats risky.

Anyone ever achieve that on Coli?

Not tryna get rich.. but people be flipping $500 to $1000 every week Or more, in a few hours at local Casino. Then of course some suckers lose their check, and families doing the same.

Advice?

Not a pro but i know Blackjack

learn basic strategy, and bankroll management, mix in some advanced strategies and you're close to being 50/50 with the casino.

Like everything how much you win is based on how much youre willing to risk.

I mainly play blackjack......but for fun and grocery $$$......i dont play with shyt i cant afford to lose......otherwise becomes like any job and gets stressful fast.....
Bolded is esp true and shyt it a grind.....if your winning serious $$$, you better have access to multiple casions/sites cause the casino aint going to let you take them and they will refuse your play........even with perfect basic strat your still at a .5% disadvantage and to put things in perspective, over the long term you win 44%, lose 48% and push 8% of the time approx.........to have any real edge you need to master counting and not just the +1/-1 shyt but wong halves/ken uston type systems.....all this take practicve practice practice

Explain

Explain

Advanced strategy is card counting/using deviations in the statistics so that you know to bet more when you have the edge. With basic you know the flat stats about how often 1 hand will beat another, with advanced you can recognize the fluctuations in those stats in your game at that exact moment because of all the cards that have been dealt.

Bankroll management is how you handle the money that you're betting. You have to set rules for yourself and your money. (whats your starting bet, whats the most youre willing to bet on a single hand and how do you decide when to bet that much , how much are you willing to lose before walk away for the day)

Yeah bm is the key whenever doing these things. I enjoy playing casino games but my bread and butter is in the poker rooms. Even with the wild variations poker can bring I'm still a profitable player.

Basics are maximizing win streaks & minimizing losing streak. I've seen people lose thousands at the same table. Move around or go home when it's not your day. Horse racing is the quickest & easiest way. Made $500 off of a $1 several times.

Explain how horse racing works that you could make that much.

Unlike the casino you are playing against other players. The track takes their percentage off the top so they don't care who wins & someone always win. You have to bet a horse or combination that most of the people are not betting. Which sounds hard but the betting favorites only win at most 30% of the time. Some people study past performance. Some people just bet the number on the horse. I've seen both work. ive seen people win $2000 on a 20 cent bet or some bet $100 just to win $100. The key is having a plan.

I bet on sports nearly every night. Specifically NFL and NBA.

It's tough. I'll the first to admit. It's not easy at all. The Markets are very efficient.

I have a model but I'm working on a stronger one.

Forgive my ignorance, but can't you just bet a $1 on all the horses if you can get such a windfall return?

Exotics like exacta, trifecta, superfecta, high five & others with the highest payouts cost to much to play with that approach.
