    Besides poker, are there any other games @ the casino one could live off?

    So there are a few poker players who are so good they can actually live off it and even better, get rich from it.
    Is it possible with other games?

    Last time, I was at Foxwoods with my buddy. I saw someone walking from the Roulette table with $5,000.

                            You can't make a living off blackjack, but you can make a couple of bucks (unless you do something illegal like the MIT buddy system). You can make a living off poker too, obviously. The rest of the games will take your money.

                              It's not illegal - at least in Vegas it's not

                                Did you read the book? Nothing they did was illegal (well, they might not have claimed the cash on their taxes....).

                                It's against the casino rules. The casinos find out, they ask you to leave. If you don't, you're trespassing and THAT'S the only time the law is ever involved. However, based on the book, them kicking you out is not the worst thing they can do to you.......

                                      There's no casino games that anyone can make a living from. None!

                                        Listen man, if there was a game people could bank off WHY on earth would the casino have it. They're 100% about profit. If you're banking, you're lucky. Poker you might bank if you're playing vs other players.

                                          Man the casino is screening everyone like a motherfucker. If you're using any other method besides pure gambling they'll have the right to kick you out.

                                            Someone said it above, but people don't seem to get it so I'll reiterate..

                                            card counting isn't illegal. at all. period. get it?

                                            casinos don't like it, because they like money. they're private establishments. they can ask you to leave, without giving reason. if you refuse to leave, you could be arrested for trespassing.

                                                    I can tell you that beside poker there are also a handfull of people making bank at sport betting.

                                                    But to get there you have to research and know what you are doing

                                                      Card counting is not illegal.

                                                      And to answer your question Franck, no all games other than poker all favor the house.

                                                      You can give yourself an edge in black jack and if you find a biased wheel in roulette and know how to explolit it you can make money but it's highly doubtful you will.

                                                          I can kick you out of my house if you smoke in it. But smoking's not illegal.
