Gambling
'Action' is the only true
operative word in the Krude vernacular. And 'Fuck' is a close second to that. I
cannot imagine living another day without one of those two words being part of
it.
Casino gambling is fucking action.
I remember playing a board game
called Gambler when I was a kid in the 1970's. I don't remember much about the
game play itself.But I remember my distinct desire to go to a casino and try my
luck after playing it. I would eventually get my chance to gamble in a Atlantic
City casino when I was 19. I was underage,but I didn't care. Nobody gets
hassled at a casino when $ starts to get spread around. And the locals get
treated (greased) properly. Take note kiddies.
So here is the Krude Gambling
Manifesto abr. 25 years is the making. For entertainment purposes
only.
I've always gotten a bad feeling
sitting at a blackjack table with an Asian or Eastern Indian dealer. I always
try choose a White,Black or Hispanic dealer. Call it superstition or whatever.
But certain dealers are hired by casinos just for the negative karma they exude.
Learn to spot those markers. And always hit on 17 when the dealer shows a face.
Old pro types sitting at the table will respect you.
Casinos will give you free alcohol,if
you're playing (gambling) a game. That's a given. Before I start gambling any
$,I track down the cocktail waitress and place my order. I always order two
drinks and tip the broad at least a red ($5) chip.And I ask for any kind of
Jack Daniels drink. This is because most casinos use the worst booze with their
'comp' drinks. Jack is popular and has a distinctive taste. No fooling the
regulars,so the casino's stock it.But if you want wine or something with vodka-
beware. I've tasted better bum wine than the well shit a casino will serve you
for free.
Craps.The best game is the casino.
And the best named game. Craps is all about odds and percentages. And luck. The
odds in craps will determine your winning from losing.For example,place a bet
on a '10' to win 9/5 odds. Add to that the casino's pass line odds (usually 2X
or 3X). With a solid system you can walk away from the craps table a
winner,more often than not. Rolling dice is fun. The craps table is where the
most $ is made and the whole table is in on it together. Craps will take a few
trips to a casino to get the hang of. And when you do,it'll be your go-to game.
Get to know the pit boss by a
first name basis.That's the Italian suit wearing person shuffling around behind
the table dealers.He or she watches your gambling tendencies and determines how
much of a gambling degenerate you are. Your next room comp or free buffet
dinner is riding on this weird relationship. Pit bosses are degenerates
themselves. Just learn to have some laughs with them. It'll pay off,even when
you lose $.
Never chase your $. Or,never chase
after your losses. If you lose a bunch of dough,try not to double up your
future bets to make up for the losses. Your rent or mortgage is more important
than the casino adding that new poker room on your dime. If I bring $1k to
gamble with,that is all I'm using. If I lose,i lose $1k. No trips to ATM or
pawn shop. Though I usually bring something worth $50 to a pawn broker in case
I go belly up. $50 gets you a Big Mac and a way home.
Etc. Etc. Etc.
I don't wholly recommend casino
gambling for everybody. Just to adrenaline junkies with balls and means. If you
ain't taking risks,you ain't living life. You're just existing. And boring. Just
never bet on a 3 legged horse.
Don't burn the locals
