I need to make $10,000

[stopgambling]

Don't know what to say as this is approximately what I did. I have practically no expense.I put almost every dollars back in. I still did n't make 10k yet .I did save some money to put into my bankroll.Due to variance i did win over 16k ,but was knock back down to 8k.Prior to this I had been playing double kelly and won 13k and lost most of it,Obviously due to playing 2 KELLy.So I played with only 1800 of leftover $ and wonged /play very good games and build my way to 10k plus some saving added on to it . I am at 10k PLus extra(savings). It's possible but not a great way to build a bank as a lot of "ingredients" are necessary.It did took me about 400 hrs of play to get there. Now I am hoping to build it to 20k in a 10 months ,$1000 a month.which is just 1 max bet for some of our members.There are people driving Ferrari 's and there are people driving beaters.

I just lost $10K in the last 2 days spreading 20-1.

Trying to grind 3K into 10K is gonna take forever counting cards and expenses are likely to eat him alive. If he has a regular job then his 3K BR is replenishable. If it's his only source of money he needs to do something besides playing the game he described. The OP sounds like he needs the 10K yesterday and if that's the case he's not going to get it grinding out shoes...he'll get it gambling or playing better games with bigger edges.

If you NEED money, this isn't the right way to go about getting that money.

If you have no other option but need it ASAP [for whatever reason], look up flights to Mexico and figure out how much they cost -- save that much money in your wallet and DO NOT SPEND IT. Next step, find a casino where you can put 10x odds on the passline (craps). Bet $100 on the pass, $1000 odds (if you can afford that $1000) -- hope for the best. If you bust out, you still have enough $$$ for a flight to Mexico to avoid those finger-cutting-off mobsters that are after you.

You can also spend that $3k on a boob job and "sell your body".

You could use that $3k to start a pyramid scheme (small one, though!) with some small-time investors...although that's probably illegal.

You could find a nice public place with preferably one police officer, make a scene somehow, and hope to the Gods he knocks you in the face -- you won't get the $10k instantly, but you'll eventually get it (well, if you win your case or settlement, that is).

You could make (or buy?) one of those debit-card-hacker machines (you know, the one that Sean Connery used in the Terminator movie?). That's probably actually....also...illegal....



Hmmm.....Yeah, either your options are to do something illegal (not suggesting that), gamble your money and hope for the best, get a job and save up [if the mobsters are OK with that], or realize that you probably don't even need that $10K.



If there is a non-gambling reason why you need $10K, for example, you broke your leg and are dirt poor, or you got cancer, or you need $10K to do some crazy kind of research or are starting something for whatever reason.....I think there are websites out there where you can basically create a profile and be like, "Yo, I need $10K because I want to start a goat milking business." then put up a bunch of info on how you'd go about creating the business and stuffs. People click on your link and are like, "Wow, this dude know's what's up, that would be awesome to see someone start a goat-milking business, as I have many goats that need-a-milking but have no milkers to go to!" so they donate money to your cause (which I guess goes to you somehow?) -- I'm guessing through PayPal or something of the likes. If the goat farmer gods work in your favor, you'll get your goat-milking-business money.

...wong in at a TC+4 count, plop the max amount down (hopefully, all $3000). and in one play you will double it. Come around another day, at another shop, do the same...

I agree with KJ that this is just blind gambling (and not the best bet option IF you were gonna try it anyway) BUT if you're gonna do this, and you win your plunger with the +4 count, the count's still likely to be plus after only one hand (maybe even higher, if you just happen to get lucky and win that one hand with a bunch of small cards coming out).

So, why bother coming around another day, or another shop? Just play another hand, get it over with, win or lose. Plus count is plus count.

Also why bother not shaving or acting drunk?

Nobody cares.

It's just a wild-ass plunger bet, you don't need to "fool" anyone with anything.

I used this approach occasionally for a short time after reading Ken Uston's books. Inspired by his description of "chunk betting", I would backcount and wait until TC3 and then jump in with a $500 bet. Typically, it was a winner and oftentimes I would get a 20. Only a couple of times did I have to double down. The plan was to get the first big win, play a few hands after at a lower bet, and then leave. The RoR is through the roof for this play. Despite this, it worked out for sometime until I hit one shoe that just killed me. It was one of those positive shoes in which you lose consistently. After that I was twice shy.

applying at McDonalds and working for a year and save up

I was thinking the same

[MidniteToker]

wait until TC3 and then jump in with a $500 bet. Typically, it was a winner

High counts do not significantly affect the number of wins. With TC3 you'll be seeing maybe 0.5% more winners than TC0. It's not "typically a winner" and you won't be winning more hands than you lose or push even at TC 10+. Excluding ties, you won't be winning more hands than you lose until about TC6.

That is so friggin' funny! Although I don't remember Sean Connery in any of the Terminator movies or TV series. Did he play "Wolfie"?


But you are forgetting the most obvious and straight-forward method:

Just withdraw money from the bank!

Here are the steps:
First, you write a note. Then steps 2, 3 and 4 ... And don't forget the ski mask.








Norm: I'm just joking, ok? I'm not suggesting doing anything illegal.

Just googled it -- apparently I was thinking of John Connor.......interesting....


Also googled Sean Connery -- I'm not much of a movie or hollywood kinda person. =\

Dumbest thing I've heard in a while, please go review Flash's response...
KJ's statement as to "need" and "risk" should also be re-read....

Fools, obviously my answer was best.

The Kamikaze BJ route is the best option if you are planning to get to $10,000 in short time. Don't shave for a day or two, act a bit drunk, wong in at a TC+4 count, plop the max amount down (hopefully, all $3000). and in one play you will double it.

You need to have money to properly split and double or the high count isn't worth much. Your advantage is mostly derived from the blackjack bonus and increased frequency and better EV of splitting and doubling opportunities. If you can't split and double most of your edge is gone. You aren't going to win many more hands . A higher level count will up that a hair but in the short term of this that is pretty meaningless. The change in that play of a higher PE count will almost be a coin flip as to whether it helps you or hurts you for most plays. If you wait for that big edge bet 1/3rd or a quarter if your money at most for the crazy man approach.

PS. Sorry I thought that post #10 was on the last page. I should have known such an obvious blunder as not leaving yourself the ability to double and split would be flagged.
