Las Vegas

Things learned from Vegas:

1) when gambling, don't just feed in money in small amounts. it will instantly be lost, especially when working with long term gambling systems. instead, decide on the full amount you intend to spend on that night and start with that. it's better to have a larger buffer of chips to work with as your winnings wax and wane rather than using small amounts and getting cleaned out every time you get a bad hand.

2) The city is expensive. even if you leave the casino with net gains, that money will soon be spent on cabs, food, and entertainment. its hard to truly gain money in Vegas.

3) The "station" casinos and other local and downtown casinos pay out more and have lower minimum bets than the ones on the strip. They also give more comps.

4) If roulette is your game, go to MGM grand, Bellagio, or one of only a few other casinos and ask for the European roulette table. It only has one zero instead of two. this lowers the odds substantially, however there are higher minimum bets on these tables.
