First trip to Vegas over 21 Friday!

Hey everyone,

Pretty stoked and have been really brushing up on my card/craps/roulette skills. This will be my 5th trip to Vegas, but my first where I can actually gamble!

Here mainly to find stuff to do, and some recommendations to get an advantage before heading out!

 

Welcome. though you'll never have the advantage, lots of folks and posts here to help you minimize your dis-advantage.

 

What did you do on your 4 previous trips before you were 21? and why would you torture yourself with trips then??

 

Pace yourself and leave a good % of bankroll in the room and go downstairs with x amount for the day.Don't know how impulsive you can be but if your drinking you can let your guard down and especially a Roulette wheel will know somehow to never hit your number no matter how many times you have a chip on it.For HOURS....
That said if your hitting your numbers,press the bets a bit but make sure to leave the table with a profit and take a little break. Best Wishes to ya.

 

Ten "Advantage" tips:
1. Get 'Player's Cards' everywhere you'll be gambling and use them.
2. Understand and employ the proper 'basic strategy' for the table-games & any VP that you play.
3. Set a session win-objective and loss-limit every time you sit down to play. Be disciplined enough to stick to it.
4. After every third alcoholic drink, drink a bottled water.
5. Do not allow anyone - even if she's drop-dead gorgeous - to part you with your money, unless it is your idea to do so.
6. Never, ever chase losses.
7. When you're about to check-out of your hotel, be sure to first ask the pit if they can take care of any of the room-charges for you.
8. Never be too shy to ask a pit-critter for a meal comp when you've been playing for awhile.
9. If you smoke, bring enough from home to get you though the trip... with tip, they're $10-to-$11 a pack at the casinos.
10. Expect to win, but be prepared to lose.

Have fun & good luck!
