In casino games like blackjack and roulette, understanding the mathematical odds and house edge is essential for making informed decisions; while strategies like doubling down or betting on specific numbers can help manage risk, the house always maintains a statistical advantage, meaning long-term success requires accepting that most outcomes will be unfavorable despite short-term wins.

Oh, woman.
Let's see if they let me in.
Berbert, what the [ __ ] man?
Hey, it changed the music.
Oh, we have roulette. Roulette here.
This is Don't remember that. What is the name?
You have something here. And a lot of slot machines. Oh, they have prices there.
Well, I need to save. Where do I save?
>> I like it.
8:02.
Well, let's see how much time passes after you go to the toilet.
86° 802.
[music] How do you save here?
How do you save the game, guys?
Let's try first to get familiarize.
Get me [ __ ] out.
I wish I could save state in real casino.
[music] Yeah, I know. I know those pay bad. I mean, probably is this or this or the other. I just want to find how to save man.
Insurance space too all in buddy. All in deal hit.
Wait, I need to to go to 21, right? I I don't remember the the the rules of this. So, do I have to beat that or get something?
It It was to 21, right? How much the king has like 15, 14, 13?
So, I'm going to stand. I guess I have to hit.
Could you explain me? Oh, so the king is 10. King, uh, the queen and and the joker is just 10. So I have 14. And what about this card here?
All face cards are 10. Okay, so I have 14.
S of coal, guys. But yeah.
Busted, man. Our money is gone. Our money is gone.
How the [ __ ] do you save, man?
So you can save scum. You don't [ __ ] save scum this game, man.
No save for sure in the game. So somebody was saying like, "Oh, you can save scum the game, man."
So you cannot [ __ ] save scum the game. Oh man, this one could be cool, but um let's go for odds. There you go. Start.
Please build. Yes, we double our money.
Yay. You know what?
Why did I lose the money?
How it was 26? How it was 26?
Oh, sorry.
Play poker.
Is this poker?
Oen, what is this?
[ __ ] start the game.
What the [ __ ] is this?
Oh, okay.
Okay, let's see how much they pay.
Oh, it says there one to one, two to one, 5 to one. So if I put here five and I win. Okay, I I think this is the way to win.
So if I if I bet the five on those ones, um that means it will cover the other four. So if I hit this one, I will be even.
But if I hit this one, I will win a lot.
And if I hit this one, I will win even more. So the more you win, you can bet in all of them. And you have to get lucky. So probably this this is the way to chase the game.
Let's just start like if I will have a lot of money, which I clearly don't, but I think this is this is the one to chase the game.
125 and I spent 5070.
So that didn't quite work the way I wanted. But or I can just do it this way.
One to one. It just it doesn't pace right.
You can win or lose. You can win. You can lose. [sighs] I'm wondering for how long they're going to be putting that [ __ ] Oh, so ah you can c change them like that.
That's cool. Well, let's go for that.
one. Okay. What is the strategy?
Everything on blackjack.
If you lose, you start over.
If you lose, you start over.
I mean, probably at the beginning, but yeah, I mean that I agree with that.
You go to the blackjack at the very beginning. But what about the second and third one and fourth.
So probably is not that good later on.
[music] Too much to read, man. Play here. Play there. And those machines.
Oh, this one [laughter] [gasps] real time fun tours.
I kind of like the other one.
A 1K winner.
Oh.
I didn't like that strategy at all, man.
I didn't like that strategy, man.
Just don't want to gamble there. I will gamble here. Yeah, you can win big, man. Just have to trust Yeah, I don't like the slot machines to be honest. They just look so [ __ ] crappy, man. It's just like, oh, insert your money and then like, oh, when I can stop, you got nothing, man.
Thank you. Your money source. Goodbye.
Leave Las Vegas now.
The [ __ ] is that strategy, man?
Somebody proposed a blackjack.
That sounds more fun. Let's go for blackjack.
Mom means I win. P 850 winner.
Now you see now now we have a money. Uh you will lose most of the time but you will win a decent amount eventually.
I don't want to do that.
So now I can go to this one or what you were saying in so how much to gamble and and you say first 16 0 to 16 or or what what was the strategy just bet five 1 to 18.
Hey, we win.
Just play blackjack.
Blackjack is random, man. This one too.
But it's just you will bet 16 until it hits.
Why I'm looking? Because that's the winning condition, Domo Cobra, because you get a red card when you leave the casino and you cash out.
I'm not cleaning the controller. I'm playing the game. I don't know if you can see.
That's my favorite number. My favorite number is five, but I'm not going to bet on five.
You don't have poker here. You have blackjack.
And you can lose all your money if the thing.
How do you double every every time you lose?
That's a Right.
The doubling strat has a chance of losing a little bit of money.
Um, so what what do I do here, guys?
So, what what could be a good strat, man? Winning on red blackjack is like 48.
Oh, it's better than black. Why just for fun? That one.
This quote from a movie.
What's my violence? Depends if I win or not. Yes. Yes. Double win, man.
You want to know my balance?
7,150.
Check with Strat.
Okay. Hey Danielita, can you link again?
I I I I didn't save the I didn't save the the link. Can you link again?
Yeah, there's no save and that kind of sucks.
I don't understand. Like what the [ __ ] Bet on any number 0 to 36.
What the [ __ ] does that means, man? 0 to 36 on any number.
How do I even put 0 to 36? Any number is 0 to 36. Is this one or what is that's 0 to 36?
What does that mean in here?
What does that mean? Betting 0 to 36 all in on random number on roulette.
Pick one number, but I don't even have money. I mean, like, look, I don't have money. So, I'm going to spend three and a half thousand just to lose everything betting in one [ __ ] number.
Are you serious with that threat?
Are you serious with that threat? Or it's just ah okay. So it's just if I win by lucky guessing I will make the 140k right or what? I I I don't understand man. I just don't understand what what is the strategy man?
I I I don't understand. just it's still confusing to me. Like up to 7 7.5K I don't understand, man.
You win the game if you hit one in 38 times in a row. Really? It's just like that.
But why you put this up to 17 1/2K? I don't understand. Like betting that it will put me up to 17 and 1/2K or what Ah, okay. I start to understand, but well, let's try.
So I put How do you even put everything on on your five?
When you have less than 17, you bet three.5 on a number.
Okay.
Oh, now he's five. No, [laughter] no, no.
Put game >> [music] >> I don't have a clue, man.
Choose a number and stick with it.
>> [music] >> That doesn't matter. The house always wins, man. [laughter] That's the way it goes. The high the house always win. You see? Bad luck. I'm sorry. You ran out of coins of chips.
I don't think you can make money this way. Just cannot do any money there.
I'm just going to make money by betting here.
50/50 chance.
That five has something. I told you it's my lucky number, but it has something there.
What the [ __ ] was that?
Then bet like 2,000 on one and 200 each.
for numbers.
I did not understood your strategy. Uh PL, I did not understood your strategy.
But this is [ __ ] trying to do it that way.
>> [music] >> So you want me to bed in this one?
>> [music] >> So put that man just [ __ ] magnet to fail, man. Tempted to fail. Tempted to fail cuz the game's going to throw [ __ ] you know.
Go for it. Go for it. Come on, Cesar.
Supre. No monies, man. The [ __ ] number of your [music] >> [snorts] >> You can lose. You can lose if your goal goes to a black spot.
Relax, man. I'm going to make my money and I'm going to bet in three numbers at the same time.
I'm going to make 16,000 and then I'm going to bet in in in in in stuff or or lose all the money, man.
that machine is is crap, man.
EP Flan I was doing something like that.
Then when I have that money, I I put uh 200 and 200 on each individual number. Pan that that sounds really good the strategy. Yeah, I like that strategy as you're saying.
sometimes.
Look how long it takes the the [ __ ] reset every single time, man.
So that was the 38. You run out of luck.
>> [music] >> It takes like 20 seconds to get there.
It just takes 20 seconds to get there and you don't get anything there. I mean like you have really high payout sometimes.
I I I never win there. I just I feel like I'm wasting completely my time in that one.
I I mean I can spend 5 minutes if you want until the 45. I'm going to try your strat there.
I I'm I'm okay spending five minutes, but if I don't get lucky there, I will go to the red and black thing.
That way, if you win, you need 1,200 win if you hit a number.
[music] I I think uh P Flan had a better suggestion.
>> [music] >> I mean definitely this way is a speedrunner way. I don't think I don't think it's a really good way.
Definitely I will agree this this this speed runner way going like for for this one.
You're telling me just just to get lucky here. Look, I have spent two and a half minutes and not even anything close to anything.
So your strategy is like get lucky here and then go and bet in the other one and lose which is kind of okay but see I'm telling you I'm just okay to spend 5 minutes but honestly like you can easily win more in the black jack.
Just just bet your money there.
Then you just go like, "Oh, I going to hit. Oh, I'm going to stand and I lose."
Draw. Okay.
Like here here you're feeling like you're playing and you see already have more money than before.
I don't like this one.
Dealer wins. How much he got? 20.
I should have like a [ __ ] all in like Bon.
[snorts] I like it.
>> Well, I I I I see. I see. I see. You know, still despite of getting unlucky there, a good strategy is just all your money there.
Get the 2,000 I could have go to the other one, but I'm I'm just going to go to this one.
All right.
>> [snorts] >> You got Don't turn up.
>> [music] >> Okay. So what was exactly the strategy was like betting here like let's say 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20. And then I go for my lucky number five.
Then the what was 21, right?
20 kind of [ __ ] bed anymore or what?
The [ __ ] is wrong with the game?
The [ __ ] is wrong with the game? We break the code or what, man?
Yeah, but I need 6,000 and I don't have 6,000.
And and you can you can you see there's a table limit as you can see nobody tested anything. So 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 things or just pretty sure button. Okay, let's let's see if you have really like the [ __ ] is wrong with the controllers now?
What happened there, man? You see, I I had money and I What?
What the [ __ ] was that? [laughter] Yeah, my money disappeared, man.
cannot [ __ ] bet.
I think I know what's going on.
It's just too much for the game.
I do not understand what exactly is going on, but uh Wait a second.
I think those were bets of 100.
Those were bets of 100. So, The bed is 3,500.
Okay, the the real question is how the [ __ ] do I have that money? [laughter] Okay, we just break the game, guys. We have 27,000.
[laughter] Woo!
Now we need to find what the [ __ ] happened there. But oh my [laughter] scroll to my left screen. I'm not going to scroll anything, man. That's the way you [ __ ] do it, man. Look at Look at this throat.
Hey.
It's a good throw.
[music] Got a $1 donation from be cool saying one taco is So I don't I don't know what exactly happened but I like it.

52,000.
[laughter] Just don't have a clue. What is this, man?

I like it.
>> [music] >> We have 77,000 guys. We just need to get lucky in a in a double or riot.
Do we bet everything on Riot?
