I'll lose all my money (and don't really understand all the rules), don't want to get into a fight again at the table, will lose all my money, and will likely get sick

whatever you do, don't try to edit your bets once the spinny thingy starts, otherwise that will get you disqualified

In some extreme cases, you'll be punched in the face repeatedly by some 6' 7" 380lb tatted up guy they call "Tiny".

Trust me.

Or you may get eliminated from the survivor pool, whichever is worse

Went to Dallas this year, probably going to Nashville next, and Vegas too the year after.

I go to Vegas too often, going in 2 weeks, went 2 months ago and a few months before that.  I’ve never been to a draft though so I may as well make my 30ith something trip to Vegas for that.

Dunno if it is still true, but it used to be the only game that by-and-large favors the player over the casinos is Bingo.

The trick is that the bingo parlor is all the way at the back of the casino, so if someone wins, they have to walk all the way back to the front of the casino (past the bright, shiny slots, tables, bars, restaurants, sports book, etc) to cash out.

You could do okay with blackjack (perfect play has a 98-99% expectation), and if you check the payout odds, there were some positive expectations on video poker (again, required knowledgeable strategies) depending on the casino (they couldn't change the card randomizer, but they could change the payout odds ... some of the smaller ones would occasionally switch the odds slightly in the players' favor to drive business in the door).

Again, been a long time since I was out in Vegas, so things could have changed (does the Bellagio still have War as table game? still the most dumbfounded I've ever been when walking into a casino).

Trust me.

For roulette, I just throw my chips at the croupier. Just faster that way.

I have a system. Takes about six hours but I always walk away with the money I walked up with.

Goes like this: I walk to table, then watch the ball spin. Then, I watch it spin more. Repeat for a few hours, then hit the buffet. By then, I've downed several free beers.

Probably the best strategy for roulette I've heard. Sounds like it could work for craps too.

Gets a bit tricky with blackjack, when you've actually gotta get cards in hand.

The fun thing is that it's perfectly okay by the casinos to have the little "what should I do" cheat cards for blackjack.

Pisses the other players off, but you will bleed the least. To really screw with them, sit at the far left (last before the dealer).

We should totes do this at the 2020 draft.
