Our recent trip to Las Vegas was quite an experience. We stayed at the Encore and decided to put these roulette strategies to the test with real money. Despite the outcomes on the roulette app which we tested in our previous video, the real money tables in Vegas was different. We faced some losses, proving that what works in theory doesn't always pan out in practice.

We decided to try an aggressive box method, placing $50 bets on the corners across the middle section. Unfortunately, this strategy led to a quick loss of $900 on the first spin. After ten spins, I found myself down $3,000, highlighting the high-risk nature of this strategy.

Switching gears, we tried a more conservative strategy involving columns and dozens. Initially, this method showed promise, but pressing my bets led to a loss. This experience really emphasized the importance of sticking to consistent betting increments to avoid pitfalls.

I also experimented with betting on numbers 19-36 and the columns. While this method brought some success, we fell victim to bad luck with zeros popping up multiple spins.

Meanwhile, Sam had quite the adventure with free bet blackjack. Over the weekend, he managed to come out $4,000 ahead. He explains the dynamics of free bet blackjack, noting how side bets and the push rule (when the dealer busts with 22) can significantly influence the game.

The episode is filled with our gambling insights and entertaining stories. Sam shares a late-night session where he successfully walked away with $5,000, underscoring the importance of knowing when to stop. Despite the ups and downs, we both learned a lot from each experience.

Looking ahead, we're excited to announce our next project: testing various craps strategies on an app. We’ll dive into different strategies and see what works best. As the self-proclaimed "craps master," I'll be sharing my expertise and strategies in the upcoming episode. We invite you all to tune in for this exciting exploration of craps strategies.

- Riding the Hot Streaks: Both hosts discuss the concept of betting on teams that are "hot," such as the Minnesota Twins, and how momentum impacts betting decisions.
- Algorithm vs. Human Instinct: While sportsbooks base their lines on sophisticated algorithms, human psychology often plays a major role in making winning or losing decisions.
