...So, You want to gamble your money? Pt. 3

...because they KNOW that if you play a certain amount of hours, the law of averages will catch up, and you will lose. They know you get comped precisely because you are willing to play the way a casino bonus wants you to play. Why? Because casinos know that that kind of poker play will automatically make you a loser over time. So they can afford to comp youthey already know the bonus outcome! Youre dead before you walk in the door, if you agree to play by their rules.


Do you get the message now? Contrarian thinking to the tenth power at work here. Virtually every gambler in the world lives to get comped. They see it as an honor. A goal. A reward. In reality, the very result of getting comped is to put yourself at a bonus disadvantage. When a gambler signs for that comp (with glee), they are signing their own death warrant. The very thing they want will kill them. How Contrarian!


But wait, Ive saved the best part about bonus comps for last. Those who get lavished with gifts are even dumber (or more nave) than those merely getting a free room and food. Some high rollers (or whales, as the biggest of the big bonus gamblers are called) get presented with Ferraris and $100,000 diamond rings for their spouses upon arrival at the casino. Yes, casinos give them $250,000 in bonus and cars, amongst $100,000 trinkets of jewelry! Why? Because that's the bonus casino execs have to spare. It's all calculated - they only give away a $250,000 gift if they think it will entice a bonus poker gambler to lose $5,000,000... So all theyve done is given away 5 percent of his loss beforehand. They know that nine times out of ten this gambler will lose back that bonus 5 percent, plus the other 95 percent. The casino that gives him the most lavish gifts will get his business.


In other words, comping a big player is just a business transaction. The thought by casino execs is, The more we give him bonuses for free, the more indebted hell feel psychologically. Thats the game played by casinos. They want you to feel best poker play guilty and indebted. So youll casino gamble only at their casino, and gamble much longer than you intended, and for higher stakes than you intended. Guilt causes people to do strange things. Without the Bonus Ferrari, a high roller might leave after one day of gambling, while up $1,000,000. But because he now feels indebted (or his wife feels indebted), hell keep gambling three days longer. Thats three days too long. He loses back the $5,000,000 profit, plus another $5,000,000. So that $250,000 gift cost him $6,000,000.


My advice: Dont accept the bonus. I never have. I dont owe the casino anything. Im not indebted to anyone. I play how I want, when I want, and leave when I want. But then again, Im a Contrarian.


Speaking of casinos giving bonus away for free, lets examine breasts and drinks.


Those are both technically free in a casino, bonusbut they are much more expensive than you realize. Why do you think bonus casinos are only too happy to hire young, sexy, busty cocktail waitresses; then parade them in front of gamblers 24/7? The answer, of course, is to distract you. To create a fun party atmosphere. To keep you from treating bonus gambling as serious business. The more you stare at those breasts, the more you lose your concentration, and the more you lose money. All those hot, sexy babes make your visit to a casino feel more like a frat party than a business transaction.


So are those breasts really free? Hell, no! One peek could cost you thousands in losses. They are perhaps the most expensive thing in the whole casino! No wonder the casino is only too happy to encourage you to view them absolutely free.


Are you getting the idea that nothing in life is really free?
