Looks like gambling on horses is very popular with the pinball community, NOT. lol

The only way to TRY and make a dollar if you are to gamble is on RED or Black on the roulette wheel at the casino. Mathematically, it has the best odds of any game in any casino in the world. Statistically, it is 49 to 51 percent in the house's favour. Its not a 50/50 because the number 0, which isnt red or black, gives the house a win.

But put a $100 down, and double your money, or lose the $100 is the best odds of any legal gambling game in the world. I once took 3 months off work, professionally gambled for 3 months, playing red or black, and averaged a few grand a week in winnings over a 12 week period. Bought a jet-ski, and never bothered going back.

The best gamble, is buy a pinball machine cheap, do it up, play it for 6 or 12 months, then flog it and get ya money back plus $500 and start again.lol  

** Forgot to add, the government probably makes $500 million in taxes on melb cup day. They win no matter what happens.
