I hate it! I was doing so well! Get up to 471 coins then I lose it all. Right passed the ammount I had before I came to the table.
All things in moderation, Loghaire. :p
The Key to winning in any gambling is setting a limit. If you start with 100 GP and say you won't go below 50, and if you win 300 set a limit so you won't go below 200 then. Following a limit system is the only way to win, given enough time the house will always take all of your money. The only way to win is to stop!
I have been generally successfull at efu's gambling systems, raking in more than 2000 gold on some PCs over the course of a few days. :D
The key is to stop often, and play with others!
Gamble with other pcs. Makes way for loans, payback deadlines, brawls, murders, whatever.
Mug other PCs and keep gambling until you are better at it.
Better yet, save the coin you get from mugging people and use it on the supplies you'll need to mug/assassinate richer people. Become a PvP legend and beat EfU:A.
I never bet over 10gp. I've gained up to 50 gold and lost up to 30, now i don't really play a lot TBH.
