Default Casino Trip

Heading up to Mount Pleasant tomorrow to do a little gambling for a friend's birthday. I usually just stick to Blackjack, but I always come home with empty pockets. Now I'm not expecting to rape the casino or anything, but I'd like to find a game I can at least play for awhile. It seems like I get some nasty cold streaks in BJ and **** all my money away in less than an hour. Anyone have any experience playing craps? I'd like to try it... heard there's better odds there.

Nah...that's the one thing you can do outside of a casino. I want to do something different and make the trip worthwhile.

I am driving out to Wendover this weekend to play some poker. It is TRUE that you can play poker anywhere else. But that is usually with friends and for small amounts of money. I am really good at poker... a game with my friends from 7:00 PM tomidnight I might win $15... A drive out to the casino and playing for 12 hours... well last time I made $500... big difference in the two games. But if you are looking for a game you can play for a while and not have to worry about losing all your money really fast, Pai Gow poker always works that way, you get seven cards and make two hands, if you don't know how to play I can explain it better. And being that you have to lose both your hands to lose your bet you can play for a while longer, because usually you can guarantee yourself a split.

Find a nickel slot machine and start with a thousand dollars. That should keep you busy for an hour or so

I know what you mean about losing so quickly. I think its designed that way. As they say in Atlantic City, HAVE A LUCKY DAY!!!!

Well.. I got butt-raped by the Blackjack tables like usual haha. Lost 60$ in probably less than 15 minutes. Losing to 5 card twenty-ones is like a punch to the *****. Ended up at the Roulette table and did well though. Left with three times what I came with. First time leaving the casino with a smile on my face.

I always do pretty good at craps. I've also lost a lot on occasion. So now, I usually start with $200 and try to build it up. Sometimes, the dice don't fall in your favor though. Once that is gone, I walk away.
