Mostly the older guys who own cash only takeaways at the casinos in Glasgow at night. Ive seen them lose some vast sums of money, ive never seen anyone cashing out massive amounts either?

I was at the Alea one night during Chinese New Year, and a crowd of Chinese guys (young and old) were playing a game called Banco, which I think is an Asian variation of Baccarat. The dealer would throw two cards and they would all shout ‘Banco Banco Banco’, with most of them losing 4 figure sums each hand.

I dont go to the casino often, really just play blackjack or roulette in vegas or whatever, but i went a fair bit when i was a student, passed the time whilst the taxi queue was going down and you’d get free toasties, I never really won much but didnt lose much either, but any time I’d be in the ones on Sauchiehall street, they’d be absolutely rammed, the one beside the garage has a mahjong room and the dealer was saying thats where they really make their money.

You would, it was fucking glorious, toasties, soup, roulette that i didnt understand but 50% of the time I walked out with £20 more than I walked in with, just fantastic :). I did have some mates who couldnt walk away. I was a student, wouldnt wager more than £20 a visit and saw that as entertainment, some folks were in the same year as me, part time jobs etc and losing £200 a time, wasnt nice to watch.

It’s either [mention=18806]mathematics[/mention]getting her before she gets him, or [mention=12169]19QOS19[/mention] sick of having to post on the infuriating things your partner does thread. 
As much as you like to think I'm never out there, I haven't posted in months ;)

Nothing in these threads would be anything to the Chinese lads in the casino who treat poker like flipping a coin. Just call everything and maybe they have best hand maybe they don't.

I don't think they even look at their hole cards 

 

I'm not familiar with poker at all, but that's the queen, right?

On the Chinese lads in the casino.

I was in once playing a fiver a hand at black jack. So was the rest of the table. lazy chilled out. The guy a couple away from me was doing well, winning often.

A Chinese man then walked up behind him and started betting on his hand behind him. Stacks of chips. The boy seemed unfazed but the Chinese lad was betting hundreds on this guy. I'd have shit my pants.

I would agree they're probably strangers to their hole.
