Love cruises. Can’t join gang on Virgo due to heavy prior holiday committments. But we don’t have to travel together to enjoy cruises as a club. Like to use this post to share great deals, experiences, and opportunities on cruises.
Let me start with a great deal posted by Ron Lai,
"VIRGO cruise on 6d5n to Bangkok and Hua Hin, at the cost of $l030/= per pax (exclude tax), on the BUY ONE GET ONE FREE, subject to paying by" DBS/POSB cards.
He says interestingly
"We love cruises, not as to venture to the casino or the one-arm bandit, as these will cause to donate, but to enjoy the lovely music and dance the nights away, every nights. In the mornings, with sea-breeze blowing to your face, can do LTK (LUK TUNG KUEN) exercise on the deck."
But let’s not leave out Casinos – your favorite tips & tricks to beat the house. It is part of the total experience. With luck, an enriching one.
Here’s one for the “how-to-win” collection for the casino.
The very popular but flawed ‘delayed’ double up betting strategy for roulette.
Wait for, say, four blacks in a row to appear and then start betting on red doubling up the bet up to four times (or more) if you lose. You do this believing that you have gained a sequential probability advantage – the four successive blacks with no bet. Indeed if you use this strategy, you will win most of the time.
Here’s the warning on the pack. The reason is that it is not the probability of colour that is at work, it is the probability of losing four times in a row on a 50:50 chance bet, which is 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/16. You would in fact in the long run win 15 times and lose one time every 16 attempts, on average.
So the big Tip: For an efficient betting strategy aim to win more money in fewer winning spins. The secret is what everybody knows already. As Kenny Rogers says, “It’s knowing when to quit.” Quickly…
Even a bigger tip. Use this to turn chips on junckets. You can retire on a cruise pension.
Here’s another “quick, quick, slow” for your next boaty trip.
Best Roulette Strategy to Win Quick
Pick seven numbers, bet a unit on each. If they all lose bet them again up to a max of three times. If you don’t win, quit for the day.
If you do win, distribute the winnings over the same seven numbers (five units each) for the next spin, if you win again distribute the winnings over the same seven numbers again (35 units each or house limit) for the next spin and then quit. Max loss of your own money 21 units. Max possible win 945 units.
Here is the Slow step.
Best Roulette Strategy to Win Slow
The Roulette table has a slight flaw which provides the player with a utility value in playing this method.
The Columns each contain twelve numbers, one third of the field not counting the zero and double zero.
The 1st Column has an equal number of Red and Black numbers, but the 2nd Column has 4 Red and 8 Black, while the 3rd Column has 4 Black and 8 Red numbers.
Red and Black each account for 18 of the 36 Roulette numbers besides zero and double zero, odds are roughly 50/50 one or the other will hit each spin.
Decide for the game play session to play either Red or Black. If you bet Red, also bet an equal amount on the 2nd Column. If you bet Black, also bet an equal amount on the 3rd Column.
Whether you bet Red and the 2nd Column or Black and the 3rd Column, you are covering 18 plus 8 for a total of 26 numbers out of 38 at the cost of only two units. That’s covering 18 of a color plus 8 of the other color and doubling up the coverage on 4.
When only the correct Color comes up, the bet returns even money so you get the spin for free. When only the Column comes up you make one unit profit. When the Color and the Column come up you make three units profit.
As a table bet in a real casino this will bring frowns as most of the wins will return even money annoying everyone, but this is not a problem in an online casino.
So remember, wager an equal amount on either Red and the 2nd Column or Black and the 3rd Column for the duration of the session until ahead and QUIT while ahead.
In both playing methods, it is important to control or limit how much the casino can win from you, have a stop point and do not double up bets to recover a loss or switch from color to color it doesn’t help, just play the system as it stands and quit for the day when ahead.
Now about this new Investment Club Cum Cruise Centre …….
Very informative KT, you sure did your homework.
Will try your system next time I’m at a casino.
Yeah, how about that Investment club cum Cruise center……
I am very interested…….Jie
KT,
Altho I am convalescing on my sick-bed after stretching my losing streak into the 4th week, I dont hv the heart to leave you on a soliloquy again.
When it’s betting on the roulette, the best strategy is to switch off the electricity under the table in many cruise ships. Heard of how the electro-magnet works?
Otherwise you can wait until yr face turns black in a roll even on ice.
The best of professors toil on probability to believe that they hv arrived at a winning formula; the astute house uses simple technology to fool the smart but dim-witted professors.
Perhaps, the fairest game is bacarrat. This is where, in one shoe, you can do a bit of calculation of probaility and if you also hv a brain that records every previous game clearly.
My butty, Chew (once RI top boy & scholar) prefers to stake it out at the bacarrat table where he reaps in no less than $500k a year, conservatively.
He has that lot more control, concentration and confidence that I dont hv.
But if you like to make enough money for a free trip to genting, then I can help you. No guaranty but more than a 60% chance.
Ai mai?
Hi KT
Is interesting to note what you have mentioned in the games of the casino. Whether you like or not, at the end of the day, you will be a sure loser, cannot be a millionair over the gambling table, the more you win, the more you are tempted to bet again and again, until you come out loser. No doubt, one out of ten will come out a winner, but can you lay a bet that he or she will not return to bet again?
Ronlai
Well said Ron. Yours are words of wisdom.
Robert
Hi Ron et al,
Disclaimer: This Thread DOES NOT encourage gambling. We only encourage winning. Read on only if you are a mature individual, of sound mind, financially independent and can be responsible for your own deeds.
You are right. Gamblers are mostly losers.
Focus on being the One. Play to win. You say “of course!” Not true. Nine out of ten play to lose.
Case in point. No one has suggested yet that they have a winning system of any kind. Except Tim. But it sounds like his football has sprung a leak. If you play like a statistic, you will become the statistic.
But for most, gaming is entertainment. So don’t expect to win. Expect to lose and be entertained.
Why? I asked a shrink once over cocktail. Skip the Freudian mumbo jumbo. Many subconciously believe that they are grooved to lose. So better lose on the tables than in real life stakes.
Believe It Or Not. You get what you ask for in your life. Its all in your mind.
Thot of indulging in the World of Leisure on NDay after almost a 5-year break so took the 1 p.m. ferry reaching there at 3 p.m.
Saw a fellow silverhair. This time his hair was resplendent than silver bcos he was winning and laughing like NDay will go on for another week.
The many uncles & aunties left behind their progress packages, promising to progress further at their next visit. These are serious people making serious promises and so spore had no choice but to seriously go ahead into a very serious business with 2 casinos for those who seriously want to make money.
“So better lose on the tables than in real life stakes”. I did at the round roulette table forgetting my own caution.
Now it’s back to the drawing board as the new hunting season begins 2nite, with stuggart not beating schlk 04 even with home ground advantage.
(KT, this is all I can leak for now………cant leak more than naturally at the range).
