What a hero that man really was. I miss him and hope he see's this thread and takes it in the good nature it is meant!

Right this is another comedy staking thread devised by Mr Russell and myself whilst drinking pint number 4 last night (this is when all the best plans come together!)

I am looking for staking into the 5/10 and possibly 10/20 games in the Venetian in between Xmas and New Year.

As many of you know I am more interested in fun times than the grind so the session I will play on this stake will be exactly 2 hours long.

And thats it. No more poker.

What ever is left at the end will be changed for the largest chip denominations possible and Sophles will choose a roulette table where the fund will be placed on 0 and the neighbours.

Should 0 and the neighbours hit, then the same bet will be placed. This will be repeated until we do not hit.
This is the same exact bet, it will not be increased so if the original bet is $100 x 5 then $400 will be used on the next spin to bring it back to $100 on all 5 numbers.


Selling in $100 blocks and it will work as follows

<$500 sold this doesnt go ahead
$500 - $1150 sold I will play 1/2 with 2 x $200 bullets, this will be added to the remainder for roulette
$1151 - $2300 sold I will play 2/5 with 2 x $500 bullets, this will be added to the remainder for roulette
$2301 - $4600 sold I will play THE SOFT 5/10 with 2 x $1000 bullets, this will be added to the remainder for roulette
>$4601 sold I will play 10/20 with 2 x $2000 bullets, this will be added to the remainder for roulette


Some of you may be asking about my poker qualifications to play at this level and I would like to state now I have no reason to believe I am profitable at this level of pokerz but I do have a pretty good record at 1/2 :) Anyone concerned with this however is clearly in the wrong thread.

I will be playing the pokerz pretty tight, but wont be scared to get it in if I think were in good shape. The figures above all allow for me to lose both buyins at poker, and we still get our money back if we hit on the roulette.

I will update on this thread while I play and hopefully this will be scheduled so you can all follow the balance thats going to the wheel of fun.

Not sure what they are a like with photo's while your playing but I will do my best to get the evidence.

Sure a few people can vouch for me on here that this will not end in a Blatchesque fashion, but we could well end up with nothing  :)

I will start the bowl rolling by having $200

StuartHopkin  $200    PAID
Woodsey       $100    PAID
GreekStein     $100
RoyalFlush      $500
Outragous      $100
h                  $100   PAID
EvilPie            $200
Titbeans         $100  PAID
Claypole         $100  PAID

Current total $1400

Selling at 1.0 obv

Guess I'd be silly not to have a $100, might even rail  :D

Would be surprised if there is a 10/20 game at the Venetian btw.

In for a hundo as long as the roulette is just a zero neighbours bet.

If sophles is putting chips on every number, I'm ooooot.

monkey

What makes you think you have such an edge?

 ;hattip;

$100

I love the fact that someone else knows the 4 pint prophecy!

sounds like fun / complete waste off time

in $100

Ha ha

Good point Woodsey! I will try to arrange it so Woodsey is around if possible.

I have no reason to believe 1.0 is justified Kin, but selling at .92 would be awkward

Money to be sent by bank transfer where possible, stars if not.

Will PM out bank details early next week and will leave this running as long as possible to get the fund as high as possible

I have a beautiful vision of walking over to the roulette and having the neighbours by $2k :-)

Do you realize that the roulette wheels in LV have a totally different layout to our European ones?

Not only is the layout different but they also have two zeros, 0 and 00.

Put me down for 00.

Good point Ralph, but there are European wheels to be found!

Ralph makes a valid point. Vegas roulette is gash.

Maybe just put the whole lot on blackjack and double double double 3 hands

Or find that same roulette wheel downtown that was witness to that weird spin-up and the magical floating ball.

Craps is more fun and min house edge imo, also lucky new girls always win, get sophie to roll imo  :)

Hopkin doesn't lose at craps either.

I'm out if its craps.

Played that game every fkin day and never won

Craps would be less straight forward though, trying to get it all on, having start and stop points.

Hmmmm hadnt considered the 00 open to suggestions obv as long as they are in the theme of the thread and agreed by everyone!

This isnt the Cos I know and love

happy to go with whatever

find larry friut machine and shove in that ?

Those are some random numbers sophles!

Ok in fact I don't care, just make it rain in a club with winnings or w/e.

If you play craps, do it with tomoyrah pls.

4, 7, 8, 11 my numbers too   :)

Imo do it on one of those big comedy wheels - stick the lot on the 40-1 jobbie.

LIKE

40 to 1 wheel sounds fun.

Are the odds better than roulette?

Not too keen on lumping the lot one one number though. Split between 5 maybe?

In for $200

Ok say u have 1000 bucks split evenly between the 2x 40/1 shots, 2x20 2x10 and 2x5 or summin

Sounds a bit too spread out to me. Potential to hit and still not win that much.

For this to be truly epic it needs Stu to win a bit at poker to get the roll up to at least $6k then lump the lot on a 7 to 1 shot (zero neighbours being the original plan).

that !

dont wet it down - this is stuartimamthrfkrhopkin we are talkin about and a vegas virgin making the bet

what can go wrong?

Odds on vegas roulette are so gash tho.

like i say find a european wheel, every casino has one

Pretty sure they don't.

There's only one extra number isn't there? Presumably they still pay out at 35 to 1? It's not that bad.

What are the odds on the 40 to 1 wheel? Presumably there's a house edge on that as well so which is best?

Why would anyone play the american wheels if they did?

Monte Carlo used to, I doubt they do still.

Im confused

Just read the minimum bet at roulette in the Venetian is $200

Surely that isnt right? If I want  100 chips to scatter across the table they have to be $200 EACH!?!?!

Apparently there are a few in Vegas and they only open them if they are busy

Yup just googled

http://www.vegasmadeeasy.com/gaming/roulette

absolutely certain the pit boss would open it if you told them you wanted to put a few k on 1 spin

I think for the sake of this having the extra number etc on the wheel isnt really an issue is it?

This is a good point by Guy.

Might also provide better opportunity of using the camera if you explain it to them.

well another diff is that the numbers are in diff places so zero & neighbours isnt techincally the same

Venetian HL room would be the best place.

This. Although I'd prefer it to be on a UK table so that we get the right numbers I don't think the slight odds difference matters for one spin.

very very thin IMO

Not sure they would for just 1 spin, but I'm not gonna argue if you know different.

Maybe split the money 5 ways and put separate bets on 3, 26, 0, 32 and 15?

36 numbers and 35-1 is huge compared to 37 numbers and 33-1

LOL just saw a Calgon advert on TV, could have sworn is was Stuart in it  :D

???

All I did was look at that link Woodsey posted and chose the room with the best odds, $100 minimum bet and a European table...

ETA: Actually, forget that. Went to the Wizard of Vegas and Venetian don't have Euro tables any more. Cosmo do, though.

Can someone answer my question regarding min bets?

I played no roulette last year, thinking it might be a bit more this year.

Kinda assumed that colours would be available at $2 not $100?

You can make the colour whatever denomination you want, they just slip a $500 or whatever denomination chip you choose into the slot for your colour.

I don't remember where I played but when I got to Vegas I snap went and played roulette for same reason, never normally play house games but it's Vegas ldo, I don't remember where I played, think it was MGM, but I sat with $50 and was betting $1 a number, ballin' outta control in Vegas.

I can confirm that Hopkin is an absolute boss at the 1 and 2 pokers, he even stacked me once ;tk;

I'm in for a comedy $100.


Less strategy talk more winning please.

I am exceptionally disappointed in a lot of you.  Call yourself degens!  You clearly haven't spent enough time degen'ing in Vegas.

Currently advising Mr H now...

Lol at everyone moaning about the tables spinup. Waiting on someone to suggest sticking it on black...

Stick it all on black - 8 times.

Homer beat you to it.

Is it a soft roulette table?

Epic - I am so in for $100

Made of marsmallow mate!

Stick the lot on Casino War IMO.

Game of skill.

The 40-1 on the giant wheel has a $25 max most places, on thanksgiving we managed to bink it back to back spins and freeroll the Rhino, only the next day did we tilt beyond belief when i realised we had tried to get $300 on

Payments needed people as I wont be chasing this after Friday morning.

Will ship when I get home. Am in lake district for a few days after Notts.

I was recently in Vegas and stayed at the Venetian. I can confirm that they have 1 single zero wheel and it was open ever time I passed by (or stopped). Chip value minimum was $5 and minimum bet per spin was $10-$50 depending on time of day.

House edge on 00 roulette is 5.26%, single 0 is 2.70% and each of the 40-1 shots on big six (the big wheel) has a house edge of 24.07% (the worst bet in the casino).

Shipped, the grim is on.


show them how the bopkin does it!

Shipped

Just to let everyone know that this is currently looking a little gay to say the least.

We only have $600 of paid up funds.

As it stands its probably best to do 2 x $200 1/2 buyins with $200 reserved for roulette.

The bet will be whatever is left split evenly between 3 26 0 32 15

If we do bink the original bet will be replaced as per earlier in the thread, once we miss the dream is over and I will sort any profits when I get back.

May have a delay between the poker and the roulette spin to ensure people have seen on here how much we are gambling.

Just to confirm itt - i have pulled out of this -

Stu I pm'd you why

Cheers

is the 5/10 'very soft'?

Yes

 ;popcorn;

Just sat down to start it

Session had to be cut short. Up $118 after one hour so $718 in the kitty. Will try to get the other hour in if I can. Roulette will be Sunday morning.

GOOWAN SON DO WINS xxxxx

Forgot to send any money bud.

Did you put me in anyway?

No probs if not. Win it all!!!!

Put $120 in the kitty for me please Stu.

Your profit so far is 20% so that puts me in as $100 on the original list with the bankroll at $838.

I assume nobody minds this? If they do, no worries.

Will sort monies when I get back from holidays.

Cool with me.

Does Ralph think he is in also?

He asked to be in for $0?

Those that are in are marked paid on page 2

Im confused as he askec to be put down for $0

Obviously I am in for $0, what could be clearer than that?

Still funking hard for you to do a win.

stop being nits and go and do a massive spin up ffs.

preferably with some video footage, the more budget the better. ty

looking forward to this

Absolute sighballs

After being one  Jd off a mirrion dollars at three card pokers I then had to go to a cash point to do the spin up to a bag.

29 sucks balls for us all

Sorry

LOL, no worries  :D

ur tez
