Well after all that build up that was a bit of a let down ey!

 

In other gambling news tonight wasn't bad. Had Dnipro,Napoli,Ajax and Inter in a 5 pound 4fold. Cashed out for 80 quid when Inter was 3-2 up and Ajax was 1-0 up after Dnipro and Napoli won in the early games. Not a bad call if I do say so myself!

 

First decent win of the season to be honest so hopefully onwards and upwards from here...

Oh crumbs.

 

I made about 300 quid playing blackjack yesterday in a casino.

 

Complete beginners luck i would imagine. I nada been drinking all day and some mates were going so i tagged along.

 

Anybody here play, i imagine it's a game that you could lose a lot of money quickly.

Awesome! Yeah that can happen if the blackjack shoe they are using just happens to be perfect for you.

 

In general though, stay away from pit games is my suggestion. As a former degenerate I would have great nights where it felt like the casino were trying to just give me their money. For every one of those there's a few of the times where no matter what you do you can't win.

 

Blackjack has at least the tiniest bit of skill (not as much as some make you believe) where you can change the outcome and put the favour into your hands. For this to happen, the people at your table have to also be playing perfectly and aren't there just to have fun. Most people don't really understand table dynamics and how the card you take affects dealer cards and other players cards, which may give them a higher chance at short term winning but in the long run it will be worse.

 

I have been at my most wankerish when I used to play blackjack because if I'm betting two boxes with big bets and some drunk guy comes over and hits on 13 when the dealer shows 6, i used to lose it and be that person everyone hates who ruins others good nights, just the worst person.. Also doubling down and losing is soul crushing.

 

Great win, but please be happy with it and don't automatically go back and think you've beaten the game. The thing which gets people is once they get a win they want to go back straight away and win more, that's where losses happen. Then you go back again and try and win it back, lose again. And so on.

 

As I've said before, gambling is shit and a horrible vice. (Yes, I'm such a Debbie downer!)

Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for Cheltenham. The usual four days of Guiness and discarded betting slips. Just had a look at day one now, and these are my darts.

 

Race One - Bentelimar

Race Two - Josses Hill

Race Three - Ned Stark

Race Four - Jezki

Race Five - The Pirate's Queen

Race Six - Sego Success

Race Seven - Horizontal Speed.

 

Any more for any more?

Made a handsome £118 today on Cheltenham. One of my mates gave me a tip on Cause of Causes. I put a fiver on it then I ended up winning £14 on another race. So I lumped that on Cause of Causes and ended up making a decent amount. Very successful day

Not had a look at Friday's yet HOJ, will probably have a nosey tomorrow evening. Today I've gone for:

 

Ordo Ab Chao

Wounded Warrior

Ttebob

Champagne Fever originally, but it's a non runner so I'll probably just watch. Unless the first three have won in which case probably Sprinter Sacre

Quantitativeeasing

Souriyan

Au Quart De Tour

 

Yesterday wasn't great because I try to avoid backing short price favourites, so bit of luck required again today.
