My friend has the best system of them all though. He goes into the casino, gets his drink, and starts bets one big hand. He doubles his money or loses it all in the spam of moments. He then heads off to the dance floor or the bar. He gets the whole back and forth of gambling done and over with in one big payoff or one big let down, no hours filled with stress and calculation. I think its a pretty good system actually.
