Question by greg: Would it be possible for a dog to learn blackjack?
Would a dog have the cognitive ability to learn a game such as blackjack or even be able to memorize patterns in such a way that it could play. I understand that the dog probably could not learn how to count or reason with strategy I am just wondering if you could teach him to hit or stay.

Question by Isaac: I want to play my winning roulette bet at real casino – would the casino staff stop me?
I engineered a bet that has won 99/100 times in trial with an online roulette simulator. I want to play it at a real casino, but I’m afraid it would draw too much attention and I would be stopped from playing after a week (maybe less) of winning. How long would they let me win? Or how much would they let me win before being stopped. There aren’t many casinos where I live, so I think I would draw attention soon enough?
Thanks for the advice. I actually wanted to post this as a comment to the replies thus far.

Regarding playing at online casinos, I don’t believe that I can really trust any? How could I know they are fair?

Regarding me having a winning bet, and whether or not it’s possible, I did do the math to show why I say this bet is “winning”.
On each spin I have an 86.5% winning potential. During a session of play using the bet and accompanying betting method the overal win rate or potential is 99.6% with a 0.4% chance that I would lose my money set aside to play the bet. This is just the math.

I think because mathematicians say you can’t beat the houses advantage (which is true) that everyone assumes it’s a futile endeavor. But I think just because you can’t beat the odds, doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t beat the game. Just my thoughts… and my math but I could very rightly be wrong, if the math is wrong. Casinos make big money off of their math ; )

As long as you’re making legal bets without using equipment like a wheel tracker or taking advantage of a flaw in the roulette wheel itself, they cannot legally stop you from making the bets you want. The most they can do is close the roulette table.

However, there is no such thing as a “winning roulette system”. Since the game came out in Europe a couple of centuries ago, top mathematicians have tried to create a system that wins consistently, but it simply does not exist.

Albert Einstein was once quoted as saying “You cannot beat a roulette table unless you steal money from it”.

There are several systems that can help you win over the short run (EG the martingale system, laboucherre system, and the D’Alembert system), but these eventually reach limits built into the roulette game itself that will cause you to lose over the long run.

Question by Good guy: If I play blackjack with basic strategy how many games would I expect to win out of 10?

Best answer:

Answer by choko_canyon
On AVERAGE, you can expect to win about 4 out of 10 hands, possibly 5 out of 10. The trick is in knowing how to maximize your wins and minimize your losses. If you play perfectly, the house odds come down to about 53%/47% in their favor.

There’s no best. I’d use Javascript in the client (that’s nothing to do with Java) and PHP on the server. Because that’s what I’m best in.

Question by Sally2dicks: Would this strategy work playing BlackJack in a casino?
Everytime you loose you double the bet on the next hand until you win again. At the point you win, you have won back all your loses. You would need a big bank roll.

If you bet $ 10 a hand, the next would cost $ 20, then $ 40, $ 80, $ 160, $ 320.

Once you win you switch back to your regular betting of $ 10.

Answer by Ronald
Good Evening Sally2dicks,

Sounds good? I call that chasing bad money. Why would you risk $ 320 in order to win $ 10 ?
You sound like a horse player. Bookies love it. That kind of betting is for losers. It took me about 7 years to be a winner. I have been playing for forty (40) years.

I finally learned to carry $ 50 (no more) to the casino. I would play Lo Ball. If I loss the $ 50, I would have to go home. The following two weeks I would do the same thing. If I won $ 300, I would only come back two weeks later with $ 50. I became a winner. Some gamblers never learn.

I would see gamblers lose $ 50. Return with $ 300 and still lose. Never chase bad money. Rule #1 for a real winner.

By the way. Could your heart take it if you had to put up $ 10240? Or maybe you don’t think you could lose that many times. If your answer is no, than you have a lot to learn.

I play $ 500 buy in, no limit Texas Hold em twice a month. I am too good to play blackjack. I count cards. They have kicked me out of to many casinos.

Have a great night, from Los Angeles.

Question by outlet04: Would this roulette strategy work?
If you’re playing roulette and put a large amount in like 1000. Then you bet one on red every time. Every time you lose you just bet double to get back where you were. You keep doubling until you get your red. the chances of black coming up like 9 times in a row are very slim. You keep doing this while adding up slowly. Is this a good strategy?

Best answer:

Answer by zadignose
This is not a good strategy. This is known as a “martingale” system. No matter how you structure your bets, you’re getting bad odds. For instance, the chances of getting black nine times in a row are still high enough that the risk is greater than the reward.

As I’ve pointed out elsewhere, you’re “laying odds.” That means you’re offering to pay the house a large amount of money in the case that a long shot comes in, and you’re getting a small amount of money when the longshot doesn’t come in. In this case, the amount of money you get is *too small* to compensate for the times when you have to pay off a long series of expensive bets.

Ultimately, each and every time you bet, your expectation is to lose 5.26% of the money you put on the table in an American Roulette game, or 2.7% of the money in a single zero game. That’s true in martingales, that’s true of ANY betting system. The main difference between playing a series of small bets and a martingale system is, in the former you bleed to death slowly, and in the latter you get destroyed very suddenly on one catostrophic loss.

Also, the odds of getting 9 black/green spins in a row is not nearly as unlikely as you think. You’re very likely to see this happen even on your first visit to a casino.
