Intro New to the forum. 22 years of dedication

Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum and the only thing I've read on here was 22 pages of one thread that was mostly people arguing. I'm from the Midwest and didn't get married until I was 30.

I was a professional poker player from 2003 until 2014 and then gave up the traveling for my kids.

I've always had one dream. To beat a casino. I have plenty of options in life to make money, but an income coming from a casino is something I dream of.

I was successful as a poker player and never had any major vices. When I was living in Vegas in 03 and old loan shark that used to stake me told me that if he ever caught me playing craps he wouldn't ever back me again. To this day I've never placed a bet on a craps table.

I did fall into the fallacy at some point. I believe it was 2009 the first time I went broke from baccarat. I had gotten a copy of IBS 5. I made a killing for about a week, followed by a 400 percent loss.

I started messing around with roulette. I didn't think it could be beaten long term. I know the odds and understand the math. Somehow I found a wheel that was biased. In 2023. I ran 500 into 6400 over the course of a week in Tunica. Now that wheel is replaced with a triple zero wheel.

I had 179.00 on Bovada last month. I had written my own little system. I had always heard if it was good it would come close to winning with a flat bet. I was leaving Buffalo, NY and I put it on auto bet. When I got to Cleveland it was at 742.00. 22 numbers covered, win 7 or lose 11. I thought I had found the holy Grail. Well when I got back to Kentucky it was down to 199.99. since then I've tried every betting strategy with this and many other systems and none of them stand up.

I came upon this forum and found that there are so many different ways people look at the game, just from one long thread.

I'm here to learn, take criticism, and hopefully beat a game someday. I will always look for angles on casinos. My card counting days are long gone and useless now, but I'm still searching.
