considering casnio odds favor the house by 51-55% generally if you made them wild bets like that once in a while you wouldnt really lose that much in the end. I mean if I went and made 1 100$ bet a day on a hand of cards at the end of the year I wouldn't have lost that much it money managment that kills people.
this is a cool equation i learned a couple months ago..
odds of winning multiplied by prize money = value of bet
say odds of winning are 1 in 500.
prize money is $100.
1/500= 0.002
0.002 X 100= 0.20
value of bet = 20 cents.
if you bet 500 times, itll cost you 100 dollars, and one of those time syou should win back your 100 dollars.
so if they are asking for more than 20 cents, dont buy/bet.. if asking less, bet !!
