I like the fact that he does this kinda freestyle and that the editors fact check and correct his little mistakes. It’s like listening to my grandad talk then hear my Nan say “he’s a fucking liar”
I have a similar story. When I was 16 or 17 I thought I had devised a roulette system and won £400.
Later I figured out I was just extremely lucky.
Yes a very complex, ornate system: wheel spin, ball go, ball in hole
I remember doubling every thing I had in my wallet making a bet with my dad on if we would get laid over on a flight and we were stuck in Phoenix that night
"He currently is dead."
I can relate to that.
"I have a gun and I'm rich, your argument is invalid"
To quote Abridged Seto Kaiba: "Screw the rules, I have money!"
If he was racist it would be evil but considering he was nice that was legendary
I work in casinos. My favorite stupid thing you hear is people saying they have a 'fool proof system for roulette'.
I have one of those. It is not to play roulette and spend my money somewhere else. And I tell ya, have not lost a single game of roulette since.
My dad is one lucky dude. He's told me that he put half of his luck into me when i was born, because whenever we are together at some sort of raffle or bet we always win something. and my mom and brother poke alot of fun at us for that
My dad is the same way. He used to go to auctions, and they had a raffle. He won more often than not. He also found a gold ring with an emerald surrounded by small diamonds in an area he was tilling for a garden. Just blatant luck.
I had something similar with my dad but we just made bets on stupid stuff like how much he could drink on saint Patrick day or if we were laid over in Phoenix of something like that he always said I had the luck of a professional Gambler damn I miss him
8:30 that was actually the coolest segment I've seen in one of these videos.
I remember that feeling of betrayal when I saw that freddos had gone up in price.
Matched betting *DOES* work, just not the way Carl's mate was doing it.
@@mite2531 it's a little too involved to explain in a RUclips comment, but if you go here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matched_betting you should get an idea of how it works.
“Im rich i could shoot you and get away with it.” I just love that
Eeehhhhhhhhhhhh
I mean I agree but also I disagree
The shirt 👕looks really good with a dark green background tho
My boyfriend got me a £1 pot of 2p's to play on the machines, and I put 2 coins in and won a bag with a tenner in it and an extra 50p worth of 2p's
I was at a casino once and played a machine that I found out was broken, when I cashed out at a loss for 16 dollars (I put in 20 and got fed up immediately cos casinos suck) and the ticket it printed read 76 dollars. I had failed to notice the maintenance light was on and nobody from staff was around to notice me on it either...
"editors note: due to teething issues audio is of lower quality than normal" alright, whose puppy got a hold of the mic cable.
Anyone else just get an ad for a Poker Masterclass.
I don't gamble either except for the odd first goalscorer bet if I'm watching a match in the pub.
But one night I ended up in a casino and put €20 on Black at roulette solely because Wesley Snipes said, "Always bet on Black" in the movie 'Passenger 57'.
It landed on Red.
Karl- 'I am very careful with my money.'
also karl- *spends 100 bucks on the willy Wonka machine*
It was a student race day and I was pissed out of my skull all I remember is going up to a bookie stand at the track and next thing I know I'm waking up and I decided to see what the damage was ' when going out I only carry cash never card' I went out with €300 and woke up with €2550.73 and apparently I got bottle service for me and the lads.
Gates: Every time My wife gets angry, i give her Diamonds to shut her up
Pavlov: Idiot!
I had occasionally session with a machine where I throw in my change money up to 2 euro and just play with this amount. Came out 2 3 times with 40 euros in coins and then I changed it to the people who needed coins to bills
I love the saying. U can have two of these three things. Cheap, fast, good.
Cheap and fast but then not good
Good and fast but then not cheap
7:25 omg its the real steve from minecraft
The luckiest thing that happened to me was that I won a PS3 (this was around 10 years ago) from a raffle that I didn't know about just because I had bought a phone sim card.
I was once at a casino with my roommate playing blackjack and he somehow got 4 7's in a row, splitting each time. He then got 3 more 7's on top of those and like a 9 or something. Dealer bust and he ended up winning all 4 hands in a single round. I don't really know blackjack so I'm not sure if I explained that correctly but he got 7 7's in one hand and won it all. We were only at a $10 buy in table so he only won $40 but security was on that dealer like hawks after that.
i once got 2 plastic rings with a clawmachine in 1 go wich each had 50eu bills on them 99 eu profit but the looks on the exploitants faces was priceless
Yeah... you ain't getting luckier than that, jammy bastard! XD
10:50 that is options trading essentially
Damn he was literally the embodiment of a Baller move
These things are fucking great keeping me sane during these interesting times!
Fun fact. The banana guy was trying to win an Xbox Kinect. He could have bought like 40
In the spirit of not giving one, I gambled 50,000 in GTAV while watching this and won 100,000, I wanted to do it again but I just walked away. I got a twenty on blackjack btw
I've got an interesting story, and it's about Blackjack. Basically, my brother would play a lot of online poker, and he was pretty good at it, he'd get into matches for like 100 - 200 dollars and he'd earn like 50 - 100 regularly.
And then he figured out a system for Blackjack that worked because at some point, he had like 5000 dollars in the game already. Basically, you could start up three black jack tables at the same time against a computer oponent for real money... So he'd start off with 1 dollar on each table, 3 in total.
If he'd win 1 of those tables, he'd earn like 4 dollars, but it could be hard to win. If he won or lost though, the next set of three would be triple the price... So 3 dollars each, and then 9 dollars each and onward, so that even if he lost like, three or four times in a row, once he won, he would have gotten back almost all he lost, and winning even once more was complete profit... And he played this, resetting down to 1 dollar and going back up a bunch of time,s and his money was around say, 9000 dollars in one single evening of running this trick.
It worked 100% of the time, it was amazing, it seemed to be a fool proof way to win!
And then he suddenly lost 16 times in a row to like constant 20/21 point card draws from the computer.... One after the other, and we were like "Whaaat the fuuuuuuuuuck?"
We bet that it had been noticed and someone was paying attention and rigging the system to make sure we culdn't win... But we'd try multiple runs up up to a few hundred bucks, and nothing worked, we'd never get 21, and the computer would always get 20 - 21 and beat us.
I was insane and it lost us like, 4000 dollars again, so still a small profit, but damn!
Some fun facts about black jack
Chance of blackjack is just under 5% (which actually works out to 21 games you get black jack)
Chance of winning with a 20 hand however is 70%
If your playing against a dealer instead of friends, the dealer should show his card, many players get stuck with a soft 16, hit is the dealers card is above 6 stand if the dealers card is 6 or less.
The game is still rigged in dealers favor due to rules but it becomes a lot more even if you use as much info you been provided with
I once one £40 on a 2 p machine I then brought pokemon pearl best moment as a kid
Imagine being happy seeing your friend bout to loose buch money
Is it possible to custom make shirts to mess with the green screen?

I have a gambling system that works. It's not just that great, because you only make something like 20€/hr.
I've spent a dollar on a penny machine and got a case of beer
70 cent bet
Put two dollars in a plants v zombies machine because that game is fucking dope. Won 35 on my second bet. Spent it all on gin.
The only thing I don't skip out on when I'm buying stuff is toilet paper I buy the goodshit also don't skimp out on when I'm buying shoes a good pair of shoes lasted very long time everything else I might as cheap as possible
Matched betting
Ok so this is my new 2ed favorite rich guy bill gates you got to love bill gates
The gambling story is fucking amazing...
Good
Who's the girl
Dana white is such a badass at poker he gets banned from everywhere after winning millions lol ive only went to a casino twice and both times spent 500$ and the first time i made 8 grand back the second time i made 3500 and only because id sit around and watch people spend 100s if not 1000s and not win go over when they leave do a few spins and usually win the other reason is why im not aloud back as id bet low and for a bit and when i knew id win or maybe win id bet more but tried to keep it looking like idk what im doing but when i went back for the third time before even playing anything i was told no card games and i cant sit around and wait for certain slot machines theyre like its not illegal but we dont like that and said if i wanted to play cards whatever i bet first is what i have to stick with the whole game so if i did my normal low bet of 5$ i could not increase it even if i had a great hand
what a anti racism daddy
And now the world has a trillionaire...
14th? 142nd?
So Kramer but successful
I kind of hope the story of him with the gun is false, at the very least the statement he said. I don't get why having more money would make it so you get away with crimes, in a country that gives an equal protection of the law. That just sounds like there's something wrong with your equal system if people with more money get more out of it :(
Karl is a lil bit chubby in this one. Make's me feel better about myself.
Lmao
I bet no one sees this
DJ Pfarner I see you
FretboardToAsh him
You lost the bet
