I'm pretty certain you CAN ban yourself from a casino. Although I'm not sure if you can just ban yourself from table games.

As far as the CT casinos go u can ban yourself. Cant be just table games its either all or nothing. If you get caught on premises after the ban you get arrested for trespassing.If you decide you want to comeback you have to wait at least a yr and then write to the gaming comm.for re-entry. As far as AC, Vegas or anywhere else im not sure.

Just be careful what you ask for, because they will give it to you. There was a story recently about a guy (in AC, I think) who had a losing day, took his gambler's remorse right down to Casino Control and cashed it in for a permaban-for-all-eternity. Now he's changed his mind and they won't take him off the list (IIRC the story came up when he sued the state and lost).


ObHow-I-avoid: Haven't the slightest idea how they're played.

when I have a bad session and I'm walking out of the casino passing by all the table games sometimes I just can't help it and impulsively try to "get even" with some blackjack. Obviously that never ends well.

Learn how to card count. There are some very simple systems out there that will let you make a small profit (assuming your don't tip big) for very little effort.
KO BlackJack is one of the easiest systems out there... took me about a week (practice ~1 hour a day) to get decent at it.

For craps, roulette, etc... there is no hope. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

There you go. Make it obvious. Then you'll get barred and blacklisted from every blackjack table in Vegas.

if i have a really bad day, i usually blow my last 15 or 20 bucks on the roulette wheel. no biggie to me.

i only have a bad day once every couple of months so it's alright.

i bet on dog and horse races though but i actually make money at that.

That's like the secret of George Bush's appeal.

"THAT'S THE SECRET!"

unless you have put in alot of work at learning a system making a table game +EV which it sounds like you haven't from your original post, just remind yourself that you aren't supposed to win before you sit to play. It comes down to discipline and controlling the little gamble demon inside.

If you really feel the need to hit the table games, set a limit and play some after a big win at the poker tables just don't expect to win going into it. That way you can get it out of your system.

you just need to run better.

i once took my remaining buy-in off the table at bally's and "doubled up" at the blackjack table before returning to my seat....

the dealer informed me that this was, in fact, NOT ok like i originally thought it was while completely smashed.
