ScurvyDog’s guide to casino whoring<\/a> is helping me offset my poker losses. Thanks Scurvy! I’m such a degenerate. Ask Absinthe<\/a>, he can tell you:<\/p>\n

Glyphic<\/font>: Playing some bj
\n
Absinthe<\/font>: and winning, presumably.
\n
Glyphic<\/font>: Up 164 over my buyin + bonus
\n
Absinthe<\/font>: So, you’re going to walk away now, right? Right?
\n
Glyphic<\/font>: Haven’t cleared the bonus play through yet
\n
Glyphic<\/font>: Just increased my bet from 4 to 10 and hit blackjack
\n
Glyphic<\/font>: Decreased it back to 4 and hit a twenty. doh.
\n
Absinthe<\/font>: Varying your bet with a memoryless deck?
\n
Glyphic<\/font>: Yes
\n
Glyphic<\/font>: Can’t i have my fun?
\n
Absinthe<\/font>: So long as you realize that it’s -EV.
\n
Glyphic<\/font>: -EV? Wot’s dat?
\n
Absinthe<\/font>: (Bad Phil. Bad! Bad!)
\n
Glyphic<\/font>: Fuck the dealer. And his blackjack
\n
Glyphic<\/font>: So rigged
\n
Absinthe<\/font>: Dude. It’s GAMBLING.
\n
Glyphic<\/font>: ?
\n
Glyphic<\/font>: you make no sense sometimes
\n
Glyphic<\/font>: i got a system, man…
\n
Absinthe<\/font>: Uh huh.
\n
Absinthe<\/font>: Step 1: lose a lot of money
\n
Absinthe<\/font>: Step 2: ?
\n
Absinthe<\/font>: Step 3: Profit!
\n
Glyphic<\/font>: Damn. Just hit BJ and the dealer had BJ too.
\n
Glyphic<\/font>: So rigged
\n
Glyphic<\/font>: Woo! I love double down.
\n
Absinthe<\/font>: Blackjack is like crack to you, isn’t it?
\n
Glyphic<\/font>: That analogy would be pretty good if i weren’t a crack smoker
\n
Absinthe<\/font>: Okay, it’s like the gambling version of what you smoke regularly.
\n
Glyphic<\/font>: Okay, now I’m up $425 and I can withdraw my winnings.
\n
Glyphic<\/font>: I even made $25 playing roulette.\n<\/div>\n
