You think sports betting and online wagering is a good idea for Detroit casinos? Let me know your thoughts. Thanks friends.
They don't make money off winners
One question, did you learned something about gambling before been a gamble life?
I believe you all you say, I have noticed people don't understand playing money and money from pocket.
Thank you for your videos
Look sports book making has made my employees cry because there spouse was gonna lose their shit! These guys wanted me to lie and say they had their payroll messed up these drivers at UPS were insane! Lots of Divorces and a few living in vehicle for a bit.
Need structure
Dude I love how REAL your content is. It hits hard!
Luke Michael James thanks fam... I’m impressed with your channel. Stick with it, you’ll be successful.
Thanks for video bro I lost a lot of money on online gambling you are 100% correct it’s not a good idea, I also watched your first video when you posted it and I’m glad to see you stuck to your word of giving up this toxic lifestyle, your words are encouraging and I’m trying to do the same but I’m kinda of addicted to playing poker, I plan on quitting but I’m still young and have a lot of learning to do. God bless keep up the good work. I’m looking forward to your next video.
Thanks for the feedback my friend. Let me try and encourage you... I know you're young and you still have time, but why waist it? You already know what you have to do. Don't wait till tomorrow throwing your talent away.
Smart choice to do a part 2! This video will do numbers!! You destined to get at least a 1/2 million views! 💯💯
You know me, I don't care about views
You are so awesome , I just ran up on your videos accidentally and I live down the road from Agua Caliente Rancho Mirage
I have been fortunate and have a few big wins but I don't really play. Last Vegas trip I won all 3 days I came home with almost 18 grand my wife and I both had crazy luck not huge hand pays but 500-800 a few times but average 150-350 . We hit cash out hit another machine hit cash out etc. My wife went for an hour 2 weeks ago hit a hand pay of 8 gs after taxes and I did a 7500 one once. We don't go with any expectations and we never spend more than we bring. To me a loss is hurtful . I can stop after 50 bucks. I never lose anything more than that. I appreciate your content and thank you.
I’m the guy that gets paid on Friday and broke by Saturday. Before this Lockdown happened my life revolved around chasing my losses. And all the debts I need to pay cause of gambling. Also started out winning many times at first when I started. Like you said I got hooked on the chance of winning. This Corona Virus Quarantine thing gave me all of the chance to think and re-assess my life. This and the other video definitely got me a lot of clarity. Thank you. You’re awesome, god bless. Nice rollie too!
God bless you also. Hopefully, with most casinos being closed now, you get clarity and walk away from gambling.
Such an eloquent, conscientious and down to earth gentleman!!! I watched your first vid about the VIP and why you quit and it was brilliant! I've never gambled but I do have an addictive personality and alcohol and cigarettes for me are my vice... I found some of your advice in the other video have really helped me! Cheers bro! Stay well, stay safe and love to all!
I always like your videos, Anton.
It really is nice to hear you speak;you don't have to repeat yourself ad nauseam. Peace. 😎
That’s a nice compliment. Thank you!
Anton you have the personality and experience to make it big here on youtube! Keep the vids coming. How about some personal finance videos? How you save, what you invest in, etc.
Thanks friend. A lot of people are asking me for videos like that. I guess it's time to make the transition.
You, my friend, are an inspiration to anyone. 👍🕊🍷🌚
Thank you so much for the kind words my friend.
It's always interesting to watch these videos and read the comments after because I know you in real life and the people that leave brazy comments have no clue who you really are. I guess that's just the power of the internet. It just removes all integrity from "Freedom of Speech". Great video!
🙌🏾
Thank you very much for this Anton. You’re the man.
You're welcome
Your vlogs are always entertaining and motivate me to do just a little better . Thanks , man .
You’re welcome my friend. Keep pushing!
Thank you. Keep living life and being a light to others. Appreciate your vlogs.
Thank you. I love and appreciate you!
Hey Anton. Appreciate your insight. It’s only a matter of time until you grow even bigger on RUclips. Look forward to your other videos! S/o Detroit
Thanks my friend... I appreciate you
Hey Anton like a lot of people I found your first video and was intrigued by it. Good to see you doing well. If people give you crap about your backdrop, just say you’re using a green screen. Haha. 👍
LMAO
Great video thank you for the insight many can relate to your thought process on the topic.
Thank you for the kind words my friend.
I agree Casinos are an issue and should stay out of other cities. I’m in Pittsburgh and I know of 3 people here that suffer with gambling addiction to the point of taking away from their children. Personally I don’t see it for gambling but I know of families being tore apart from it in my City.
Pittsburgh just so happen to be one of my favorite cities. When I visited last year, I never even stopped by the casino cause I was having so much fun. But yes, you're right... it should never be there.
Your honesty is real. Haters can't believe a successful black man can share his experience, with gambling. This is your truth. Thanx.
😂
Great videos my man,BOTH parts my pops was a true "Whale" you know what I mean...I followed in his foot steps the life was and is AMAZING!!! And the more you make the more you bet...and I totally agree with EVERYTHING you preach
The life is awesome... if you can afford it.
Wish I had these things told to me before ever making that first bet... it’s not easy trying to stop completely
I understand. But you have to continuously try.
Yesterday I ask the player card people I wanted to ban myself & they checked my club card and told me that I have $600×5 free play as next month.
I’m not sure banning yourself solves your problems. However, I feel you on the incentives fam
When I seen you at the Casino I didn't think you were gambling...you were too chill. I'm a recovering Alcoholic 27yrs dry. Even though I quit drinking I still went to Bars, all my friends and family kept telling me "you don't quit drinking by going to a Bar, but I drank soda, and basically was there to socialize, they doubted my mental strength. Like I said 27yrs not a drink. So I knew you wasn't gambling. On a different note; you said that you're a Piston Season Ticket Holder. I have to ask you this now that they've jettisoned Dre' to the mistake by the Lake, who are you gonna kick around now? Well you do travel a lot so I guess you can fly down there and give him the flux, or when he comes up here. Let's just hope he doesn't try to join Bones Thugs & Harmony.
It was awesome running into you bro. Perhaps for most people, the temptation is too strong. Personally, I can be around it all day and never get tempted. I'm chilling and just love to be social. And to be honest, it was never about the money as to the reason I loved to gamble. It was the action and lifestyle.
And since Andre Drummond still has me blocked on IG, I'll just keep harassing him lol
@@AntonDaniels Yeah keep harassing Dre'. Sweating him would justify his massive overpaid salary. lol
Wow after looking at both videos I can see your point. I too am a high rolling but couldn't go anywhere due to Covid-19. Since March of last year I saved over $73,000. I may join you as it relates to not gambling.
Congrats on the change and grow. Never go back!
For the people saying crackhead going to a crackden blah blah blah.
I commend u for being in there and not gambling. Keep it going bro.
Thanks fam. There will always be negative people 😂
@@AntonDaniels i own 2 dairy queens one gas station and 3 houses. Almosy lost it all gambling. Never again man. There are channels on here with how yo become a high roller tutorials and that amount of bullshit i just cant stomach.
I appreciate u putting up these videos.
Gambling is the worst drug in this world.
Great Advice. Thanks.
Much appreciated.
it was fun. Thank you.
Thank you!
Man you speaking the truth! I use to fly to vegas to sports gamble, then I got burned out and fell into poker when my truck was in the shop... probably lost over 80k in 4yrs of gambling. I'm in chicago and they just opened up the first sportsbook here, even though we were all going to horseshoe hammond anyway. The V.A will give me a grant since I'm a veteran to buy a duplex and help out vets who fell in this addiction of gambling. I believe that's my next move. But I still gamble also...lucky for me I have a trucking company but the discretionary income people would normally have to by things for the house, or a trip or stuff for the kids will now go to online NFL wagering.. within 3yrs you will see higher foreclosure rate and maybe more car dealerships closing..but the big thing will be the quality of life. Individuals will be overcome with a feeling of despair once they cant shake this gambling shit.
Congrats on the trucking company. With this online gambling and sports wagering, I see a compounded problem really tearing apart households in the area. It was be devastating.
Excellent video my dude
Much appreciated
I am been in that situation in a low tier level, that why I understand what you are talking about
Yup, same experience, different perspectives
Your a great guy!!!
good on you if you felt gambling was an issue
Dope intro love da city 🏙
Would you say you overall ended up losing $ gaining $ or breaking even as a high roller ? @anton
Depends on how you value the gifts and treatment. Financially, I certainly lost money.
I don't like pointing out problems without giving, what I think could be a solution. I'm a fan of Sportsbook online and in casinos. I'm a fan of table games online and in casinos. I'm not a fan of slot machines online. I think that should be just for a casino. I think a solution could be is the state or casino could implement a daily spending limit to protect against those who have that addiction. I know everyone financial situation is different and everyone is an adult. But if you want to gamble BIG money, I think you should have to drive in and do that on the property. That way the vast majority is not punished for the minority of gamblers that don't have control. I enjoyed your video and I think you should do a follow up in 6 months to a year.
Thank you my friend. we all know that the state and casinos aren't trying to leave any money out of their coffers and tax rolls. It's all a money grab.
I live in Michigan too and the only online and phone gambling I do is stock market only.The difference is the stock market has sucker bets like a casino with OTC stocks but they also have much safer bets which much better odds.
You can buy partial shares of stocks for $1 like Amazon or Visa.Some companies give dividends too and that is a good perk for a new investor especially with big name stocks.
I did some research and it was most casinos dont treat high roller sports gamblers anywhere near as well as other games.I am not saying it is no perks but it is little to nothing compared to how high rollers of other casino games are treated.Plus many casinos will limit winning sports betters to an amount lower than the average person if you win too much or too often.
I treat all casino and sports betting as entertainment only like lottery tickets/scratchers.
You should look at stocks Anton but view it more like investing than gambling.
You have to divest yourself from a gambling mentality altogether.
@@AntonDaniels I know you said you an all or nothing type personality but it is not comparable to anything at a casino.
Even if you have pocket aces in poker you still can lose and it is not that shocking.Unless you great at reading people which I am not than it is generally over time more losing.
If you bet on the favorite in sports betting with the point spread and betting more to win less it is rigged to beat you.
Have you invested in stocks before?
it is nothing like a casino and I dont daytrade unless the stock I buy goes up a ton in that same day which mostly never happens.
Try paper trading it is free.You should let me show you how it is not that risky and can be really profitable.
So overall throughout all of gambling how much did you win/lose?
Down a few grand... nothing to complain about really
Do the casinos watch your videos and reference them when interacting with you?
Yes. I run into a lot of people that work in the industry that have watched my content.
Thumbnail is on point. Got me to click. Can’t like I’m hitting the dice table tonight
😂 good luck fam. Win a million!
Haha thanks man. As a viewer I personally would appreciate more insight on what’s in your portfolio if your comfortable with divulging that info
I got you fam
I thought it was common sense for you to use the casino as your backdrop in the first video... seriously didn't see it as an issue until I read the comments. tell me, have you ever played online live dealer blackjack? It's even worse than the physical Casino because it also operates 24/7, but at the tip of your fingers. Longest time I played blackjack was for 30 hours straight. haven't played in about 4 months cause money's been tight. I do look forward to playing again when I do get money, but I know I shouldn't. I swear Blackjack is the most evil game ever. But it's so addicting.
I have never played online blackjack. You have to figure out a way to not get drawn back into the turnstile. It's not worth it.
Great video 👍. I'm kinda glad the my casino is closed now for over a year, Windsor casino. Windsor got me the first time to, I won alittle and got hooked. But haven't been to any cause of covid. Covid did something good for us gamblers. Lol. God bless.
Stay away my friend
I respect you bro
I respect you also.
Didnt even know you could record in a Casino
HardDie you can’t, I’m special
Can you make a new video on sports betting?
Sure will
You should read the power of habit if you haven’t already
20-40k of play through isn’t anything crazy. Betting $100 bucks a hand for 1 long session will get you there. Definitely larger than the average gambler but still tiny amongst the whales.
Honestly
I believe that if you have a gambling addiction, and you continuously expose yourself to the environment, you will inevitably relapse.
Nah... been years now. I’m in Vegas now and I’m good. However, I wouldn’t advise that for everyone.
gambling isnt an issue if its for entertainment and you can handle it....un fortunately most people cant
One side there's you who wants to educate people on giving up gambling.. on the other side there are these "change your life vlog" type of guys.. who are literally promising people that they can make a living outta gambling and they got some sort of strategy to win every single time people play at a casino .. lol that guy is a joke!
Keep up the good work.. ❤️
Christopher Mitchell is a scammer!
My message to you is in life as a high roller if you care to look(pulled up wrong video). In a nutshell, you're playing with 🔥. Find out why you feel the compulsion to do a video like this...in a casino! And, please, it ain't bc it's a nice backdrop. Self-check time.
😂 if you say so
How has the introduction of sports betting and online gambling impacted your area since this video back in March?
Sports betting is more popular than ever. Not sure what the impact has been though. It's too early to tell.
@@AntonDaniels I appreciate you taking the time to reply. Much appreciated.
Gambling went from taking ur real cash money to just going and taking it straight from ur account in seconds, online gambling is bad idea... Good for them.
Horrible idea
Itsa bad idea for the people not for business. No emotion!
Thanks for the feedback
Need encouragement bro for sure to stop gambling . Not doing but enough to impact my life
You can let it go. Just know that the highs will never be as high as the the lows are low... if that makes sense.
@@AntonDaniels thanks appreciate it
It is all about habits the good and the bad
Not really... not accurate at all
Hey Anton Daniels!
I am about to interview for a VIP player services cashier at a casino in my hometown. I wanted to reach out and ask you a few questions about your experience with cage/cashiers.
1. Do you have a favorite cashier? Why or why not?
2. Do you prefer strictly professional or more friendly ?
3. And lastly do you have any advice ?
Thank you!
I love all the cashiers and have tipped them well. 1) My favorite happens to be a cage manager, but I could be biased because I actually grew up with her. However, they all treat me really well. 2) I personally love more friendly and every gambler I know love more friendly. Gamblers go to the places they do because of how they are treated. Remember, we can take our action anywhere. 3) Advice: attitude is everything. And you can be both professional and friendly at the same time.
Good luck
I'm sure he doesn't bet on the Detroit Lions to win LOL!
Or even to cover.
Hey, how much comps do you think you would get if you tried to gamble $500 million?
Anything I wanted
Most of the people designated whales by casinos have handles in excess of that every year. And its easier to happen than you might think. Anton had a bankroll of about $25,000 and would give the casinos a $2+ million handle every 3 day weekend.
Someone with a $100,000 bankroll could end up giving a casino a $500 million handle in less than six months.
Caesars' highest level player is what they call "Seven Stars". Most all Seven Stars playing table games probably exceed a $500 million handle, every year.
@@AntonDaniels You were gambling over $100 million a year and got pretty much that.
That video did good BECAUSE it was shot in a casino.
You’re probably right
Da BAG CHASERS 💯💯💯💯💯
You were mainly gambling craps, mainly pass line and come bets with full odds, which is less than 1% odds for the casino, but you were giving them handles in excess of $100 million a year some years -- potentially $1 million. Lets presume you were a winner overall, but gave the casinos more than $500 million in action altogether -- that was a potential $5 million loss.
If over the next decade, you went back to the tables, and just gambled 5% of what you did before, the potential profit for the casino would be in excess of $250,000 in less than five years. Ten percent of that or so -- $25,000 -- is what may be budgeted by MGM for casino hosts to "give away" in hopes of getting you back in action.
Nice work if you can get it. Most of the general public doesn't know anyone with a budget of $25,000+ that can be used just to treat them nicely. At every MGM casino, there's at least one person whose job is to use money like that to keep you happy.
That’s pretty accurate
@@AntonDaniels Thanks.
I lost $25 on fandual a month ago. First time online betting. Felt like going to the casino and loosing. Im good still.😅
Do you believe in sports gambling rather then gambling on table games?
I’ve been loosing a lot in craps in Reno Nevada looking to quit appreciate ur video & insight
I don’t believe in gambling at all
I used to see dude at mgm. He was very arrogant. He’s wife was very nice tho.
You don’t really think that, do you? I’m almost certain you got the wrong guy fam 🤔
Naw it was most definitely you but things like that “could” be misinterpreted until you truly get to know a person. Peace
Let me apologize for coming off that way. That’s never the vibe I’m trying to put out there! I’m just a regular guy like everyone else. Hopefully we run into each other again and you get a different impression 🙏🏾
Yo am I going to run into you?
Depends on where you are.
Well if you can teach me how you play whatever game you play. I'm down to be your student
Why not "gamble" on a business?
You already know I own businesses
Bro record part 3 in the cino it’s gone get more views facts
I don't care about views... just putting out the truth.
If you are a winning sportwager player the casinos will cut you off. Today's casinos want every dime from you. Stay away.
You probably shouldn’t want to go anyway
Its all fixed... Im.not addicted just chasing ... So i just wont gamble.... I pray for payback to all those whl prey on those who gamble... You are destroying souls
Get real guy! If you were rolling at the casino, for a significant amount of time, you lost your ass. Just don't tell people how you were a roller and everything is going great for you. You seem like a smart guy, but I don't believe your story.
And I should care because...?
@@AntonDaniels Tell the whole story. Don't paint a rosy picture.
LIES LIES & More LIES Giveme a break you have so much willpower , you quit gambling but make all these videos about gambling in the Casino, us gamblers know that’s B.S just be real a lot of people have the same addiction
I’ll pray for you kiddo. Hopefully one day you’ll beat that nasty addiction you are determined to hold on to and transition into a better place in your life. Instead of paying watching the video and learning the lesson, you’re lashing out. I understand though.
Good luck with that kiddo. Life is too short to argue with trolls on my own videos. Wishing you well. Have fun on the tables 👍🏾
Oh, and make sure you catch my new video coming out soon where I talk about my new presidential Rolex 👌🏾
So far still sounding like you down big, and you needed to get your mind off of it and you made this video
HardDie 😂 what are you talking about kid? Hopefully all is well with you.
You must be young or never had money because you missed dudes whole point. I hope one day you will be able to elevate your thoughts to a higher level and then you will be able to see past the surface.
@HarDie I agree. This is a big part of gambling-the denial factor “I just went in the casino to go pee”, “I needed to use the casino lights for my RUclips videos” Like just keep it real.
@@sbssmith6818 y'all are stupid
Stay away you are going back because you are addicted and in the business. Look how much you talking about it.
😂
