Nicky's some sharp tack ............ I kidd you not.

If you're doing it with friends whats the point? You're trying to get lucky and beat the casino, not each other.

If you're trying to give a deal to a stranger at a casino, to where you have an edge and can make $ that sounds good. But I can just see you soliciting high rollers at a casino roulette table. "Hey buddy let me explain to you how this works"

With respect, completely disagree. If you're with a friend who wants to spend the same amount as yourself, A) Why wouldn't you play with a friend who's willing to let green be a push, and B) I'd be much happier knowing I lost my money to a friend than losing it to a casino.

how about winning?

Are you really gonna stand next to a table in a casino for considerable amount of time passing chips between one another? It's O.K. I guess.
Why not just flip a coin in the parking lot?

If I won I'd assume he'd be happy to lose to me instead of 'them.'

OK, I take the point about flipping the coin and it's a valid one and you could take it all the way back to why leave the house and waste the gas driving to the casino when you could use that gas money to bet your pal on coinflips, so I see where you're coming from.

For me it's more of a hypothetical. IF I was standing next to a table with a friend willing to lose a couple of hundred and IF he was willing to lose the same amount, I'd happily take the two greens out of the equation and play him. As for the chips, I'd use a pencil and paper and settle at the bar away from the table.

I don't go to the casinos often enough for it to be an issue but I can definetly see the benefits of two greens being a push.

What if you lost it to rogue scholar? would that make you happier than if you lost it to MGM?

Rogue Scholar doesn't gamble so this issue would never arise.

no commission bacarat at starwood in macau has zero house edge

[reno cool]

no commission would have the banker have the edge. How do they counteract that?

[sportsguy04]

You guys ever played Texas Holdem Bonus. I love that game, you vs. the dealer. I never play the bonus though, waste of money.

[realplaya75]

all casino games have a house edge

well, the people at the table were only betting banker after every 3 player hands.

I know all games the house has the edge however most of us are gambling addicts and I enjoy going to the casino with friends.

We are going tomorrow night, we've been playing a lot of roulette and I learned on here last week that the house has the highest edge of any game in roulette. What game has the lowest house edge, giving the player the best chance to win?

I'm not a big time player and usually only take like $200, so I don't get comps or match plays.

Black Jack has the best odds against the house.

I once hit AA with $10 bucks on the bonus and ended uo winning the hand too! the bonus alone was $300!!
