lmao 90 percent of all people go to the casino by themselves

No its not awkward.

Save your money and become SBR Pro

[Cuse0323]

not at all weird, I go regularly alone because I'm going to win money not for entertainment.

[bobby heenan]

i live 15 minutes from foxwoods...mohegan is another 10 minutes from there......

i go solo all of the time....strictly to make money and im out

[Emily_Haines]

I always go by myself. Fuk leaving when you don't want to because the other person does. How many times did you have to borrow money to the other guy? Going to the casino with friends is -EV.

[doublej95]

I always like going alone, I'm there to play not worry about friends.

[senseionline]

if u want having fun go groupie or you want to win money go alone

[iifold]

Going to casino with friends is -EV...

There are no friends in the world of gambling...

[Naz18]

Going to the casino is -EV with or without friends....

[opie1988]

I agree with king.

I can't tell you how many times I have flown to Vegas to gamble for a few days all by myself. That's the ideal way to go, in my opinion.

My wife & I have been with friends a few times to Vegas, and it's never a very good time.

Now I only go alone, or with her since she's as big of a degenerate as I am.

Going alone is the best way to make money, you can leave when you want and are not stranded there if they lose early and your friends want to stay longer!

[jjgold]

Gambling is a activity that you do by yourself

We all live in isolation

80% here isolationists

[Cuse4tw]

Depends...if ur staying on location sure...but if not if someone loses they want out and can cause negative ju ju

[bobbyfk]

I go by myself all the time, not awkward at all

[chipper]

I live in Vegas. If I am going to make a wager or two then I insist on going by myself so I can stay as long as I want or more importantly leave when I need to.

[InTheDrink]

Jeez you guys are a fun bunch

[ThaWoj]

only way to focus on gambling is by yourself. the only game i've found that seems to work better if ur playing with friends is dice. but if im playing BJ or baccarat, I HAVE TO play by myself. i dont even like playing with strangers at the tables, they start talking to you and fukk u up and make u lose your focus.

if i must go with a friend, i am going to the opposite end of the casino from him and meeting him later. and we are driving separate cars!

TTWarrior found a photoshop pic from several years ago (note the second ace of diamonds is offset from the rest of the board) and decided to post it in a completely unrelated thread?

Go by myself to utilize my roulette strategy

[raydog]

I go by myself all the time, not awkward at all

nope, and much fawking easier...2 things always happen if i go with others...
1) i can never leave when i want
2) i always end up having to waste pts. on them for bfast/lunch/dinner

only time i like going with someone is if im taking my girl for dinner and staying the night or taking my dad to dinner and a few hours of play...

[jjgold]

I go to the racetrack once in a while with someone

I guess it all depends, some like being and some like the cushion of having people with them

If I was rich I would pay chick to comer with me and show her off up and down the casino aisles

Copied from a horse gambling forum I read but apples to this question as well, cite #5 for your answer.

These are some betting/discipline rules that I enforce in my own play.

Some of them are obvious, and some may not be; I swear by all of them...and they have made a big difference in my play.

I pass them on to you, hoping that they may be of some use...and -- if you are so inclined -- I would ask that you add some of your own...


1.) LEARN TO PASS RACES...LOTS OF THEM.
Most races don't deserve to be played. If you spot overlays in almost every race you see...then you are playing this game wrong.

2.) BECOME A SPECIALIST.
The best thing about full-card simulcasting is that we can bet on our favorite types of races...and still get all the action we can handle.

3.) DON'T KEEP SCORE BY THE DAY.
Even the best horseplayers have more losing days than winning ones. Don't make a bad day worse by trying to get even.

4.) DISCIPLINE...DISCIPLINE...DISCIPLINE.
Lack of discipline has kept some of the brightest handicappers in this game BROKE...for MANY years. At the end of the day's play ask yourself THIS question:

"Did I do exactly what I planned to do today...or did I let my emotions affect my play?"

If you didn't keep to your gameplan, then the day was a FAILURE...even if you won.

5.) IF YOU TAKE BETTING SERIOUSLY...GAMBLE ALONE.
Tom Ainslie said it best:

"Winning horseplaying is a solitary activity; the more social it gets, the less profitable it becomes."

Pittsburg Phil never bet a dime when he had friends accompany him at the track.

If you consider yourself to be a better player than Tom Ainslie and Pittsburg Phil...then feel free to disregard this advice.

6.) SET A PREDETERMINED LIMIT TO THE AMOUNT YOU ARE WILLING TO LOSE IN ANY ONE RACE...AND STICK TO IT.
Don't get into the habit of "loading up" on the "sure things". The name of the game is limiting your risk. It sounds easy...but it took me 20 years to learn.

7.) KEEP A BETTING DIARY.
Not only to record your plays, but also to write down any thoughts or opinions about your play during the course of the day.

Our memory is not to be trusted.

8.) AVOID TURF PARADISE LIKE THE PLAGUE.
Trust me on this one...
