Ask Frank: I'm Losing My Behind

Dear Frank:

I was losing my behind at the casinos for a long long time and practically became bankrupt. Please advise me the easiest way to win some of it back soon so I can have peace of mind and feel good about myself and have a winning attitude. I know it is not easy as it seems, but I have lost everything to this damn game.

Also please tell me in layman's language how much money one should take to casino for at least 300 to 400 hands or two to three hours of play. I am thinking to take the seminar on the SPEED COUNT and hoping that it might help.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Shaun

Dear Shaun,

First, if you are really losing money you need to use for other things then quit gambling. It could be you are one of the small percentage of people who have a problem with gambling. So my first piece of advice is to find another hobby, one that is much less costly.

If the "bankrupt" line was merely hyperbole and you are using recreational money, then you must play a game where you can actually get an edge -- that would be blackjack in this case. Again, you have to keep in mind that any edges you get are small and you will not be able to "bankrupt" the casinos as they can bankrupt you.

Please be wise.

All the best in and out of the casinos!
