I’ve been sports betting for about 20 years and operated a book for a few of those years. Had some great runs before but I’m not much of a long shot guy.
I usually don’t take swings like this. But this morning I even told my buddy as soon as I placed it - this one is going to be interesting.
And here we are; 8/10 of the way there.
Jinxing the shit out of myself right now, aren’t I?
I’ve been gambling for quite a few years. I’ve had $1000 wins before, but I’ve never hit a hand pay. Today I hit two hand pays back to back for the first time ever at Hollywood Casino in Columbus, Ohio.
Posting bc I just don’t really have anyone to tell who won’t think I’m a degen (which I am). Have had a great run this year playing baccarat at live casinos (did really well a couple years ago playing live online bacc (evolution live and pragmatic mostly). Switched back to in person at casinos bc nothing beats the feeling of physically squeezing the cards. Have done really well this year and am up a bit over $400K. Last year was pretty good too at over $200K in winnings. Sadly I still don’t think I’m up lifetime, but I’m getting there. Gambling is really my main hobby so I’m thankful it’s been a good last three years. Goodluck everyone!
Only $0.05 denom, 45 cents a press but hit this for nearly $100 lol. Didn't think I'd ever see this combo in my life yet here it is!
A couple questions I have have pondered.
How much do you tip on hand pays -- percentage-wise?
Does the tip go to the whole cash office?
Lady Luck HQ tips a lot.
Hey everyone,
I play Powerball now and then, always the same numbers (birthdays, I know). I got curious and went through the winner counts Powerball publishes after every draw, back to October 2015.
The odds are the same for every line, but the number of winners isn't random. It depends on which numbers come out:
July 10, 2024 (07 11 12 27 46, PB 26): about twice the usual number of winners.
May 23, 2018 (20 54 56 61 64, PB 07): about 30% fewer than usual.
So many of us play dates that 1 to 31 ends up on far more tickets. Even the record $1.586 billion jackpot in 2016 was split three ways, with four of the five white balls at 31 or lower.
None of this helps anyone win more often. It only changes how many people you'd share with.
I built a small free tool from it: type in your line and see how popular it is with other players. No account needed: wisenum.com
I'd love your honest feedback. Does the result make sense for your numbers? Anything confusing or missing? Be as harsh as you like.
Don’t use this shitty site they let you withdraw once then suddenly need extra verification…they let you redeem but then need extra verification I guess if you win more then you put in. SCAM SITE
