Nobody does controlled naivety better than Louis, he walks a tightrope of innocent and likeable naivety yet without coming across as a complete dumb ass and he is able to get into people’s confidences. The other thing that many interviewers forget is that no matter what he always remains respectful and never goes for a cheap shot. It’s a unique skill, more of an art - very few are able to do this.
It's very obvious from Rich's body language that he really doesn't like Louis at all. Probably didn't like his line of questioning concerning his 'friend' Alan.
This is exactly what happened to me on my first trip to Las Vegas. It makes u feel like its so easy. Then u find out later it's not like that most of the time.
Exactly. If anything most degenerates hold on to the tale of a large victory in the beginning of their experiences only to give that back 10 fold chasing that moment.
@MrJobofo you're right. I don't get why this original comment got so many likes. I remember when I played poker in Las Vegas. I ordered vodka red bull every time when this waitress came... once I was maybe in the restroom or somewhere else, she still had me one when she came :)
its the other way around actually because the more inebriated you are the more likely you are to bet reckless. Most casinos even give you free drink if you gamble enough or come enough
@@timpyrules however i've seen many times gamblers asking "where's the cocktail lady, i've been waiting too long.." often the gambler will press the pit boss to get a drink.
People who think they're the big man because they bet 30 grand at a casino will soon be the small broke bum. It doesn't take skill to gamble large sums of money on negative EV bets, only idiocy.
it was the only casino in town for a long time. but even so i imagine most of them learnt what it can do almost all the poker dealers i've met play poker though
not rlly, in the same documentry they showed a lady losing millions with slots, 2 guys losing tens of thousands with blackjck & a highroller losing half a million @ various games... some ppl win & some ppl lose,,,
In the long run everyone loses. If you're lucky in the short run and smart enough to quit while you're up, then you can leave with more than what you came in with.
When I went to Vegas, I played some slots and a few rounds of roulette, won $20-50 or so, here and there, and spent it on food and drinks....I had a strong hunch that if I’d have sat down at the blackjack table and spent some serious money, I might very well had been in the shit financially! Gambling is a type of high you have to be careful with.
No man. People are so dumb and addicted they will still go to the casino. They had no problem admitting that doctor lady lost millions. She still comes back every day to give more.
"Hello my name is Mr. Snrub and I come from some place far away. Yes, that'll do. Anyway I say we increase my credit limit to 50k immediately because I'm a totally new client here."
I've watched this on TV several times: Thank God for youtube because every time I see it I ask myself - Isn't the 'highroller' (matress king, is it Alan Ehrlick) and "Dan the Man" one and the same person???? Nobody seems to bring this up - am I missing something.
He knows that most gamblers lose money, maybe not on day 1 but in the long run, they will. And Dan the man does not want to be one of them, that's why his reply was 'because I am smart.' Guys, I worked as a casino dealer a while ago.
In this episode it showed everyone losing their money, so I think this game was set up for him to win to make Vegas look good to tourists. He had no idea what the game was and how to play and left a winner, Vegas didn't want to show the reality of gambling, only the house wins
maybe he actually got lucky. And vegas had already shown the reality of gambling with that salesman earlier in the show who gambled into the early hours of the morning and practically blew all his money.
Baccarat is basically a coin flip. Bet on one of two bets (there's a side bet, but it's a sucker bet). In the short run you can bet the same way and go on a lucky streak, no problem.
Louis Theroux is the master of subtle British sarcasm, without crossing the line.
"There is no catch - welcome to Vegas!"
What a great line.
For a sucker...
@@CthuluWalkingBackwards there's no catch for winners baby

There’s an old saying that the silent ones are the ones you should be looking out for.

I don’t pay tv license anyway, it’s immoral to fund the bbc a known propgganada and peadophile organisation. Louis is half decent though.

Isn't the guy at the end Alan with a wig?
Nonsense.
Here's Johnny you don’t know shit lol I work at a casino lol
“You show her who louis is”. Idk why but that always makes me laugh 😂
The part where louis high fives him then asks if they won makes me laugh as well
"There is no catch, welcome to Vegas" - I can imagine the devil saying this with silky smooth persuasion
2:36 Asking the poison merchant why he doesn't drink his product
We are gonna give you a brand new Hilton envelope
This is exactly what happened to me on my first trip to Las Vegas. It makes u feel like its so easy. Then u find out later it's not like that most of the time.
"Did we win?"
3 grand
Yes
"I enjoy making you happy, how about that?" BS
IDK maybe it's true . . . it's not like he's working on commission . . .
It is true, because happy customers return, the casino always wins.. it's a marathon for them, not a sprint.
Exactly. If anything most degenerates hold on to the tale of a large victory in the beginning of their experiences only to give that back 10 fold chasing that moment.
@Not Convinced lol, he might be an Uber driver now
"...when your winning gambling makes perfect sense...."
"for this victim though it was the end of the line.... for now" gotta love Louies sense of humour.
I didn't even see it as a joke, I saw it as... Wise. Meaning, anyone who wins might be tempted again in the future. Very good way to end it.
"where's my bloody mary?".... classic stall tactic by casino management.. delay the drink/food etc until they lose all their money LOL

Lol. People walk around in casinos with 20-30 grand cash. 1500 is pathetic amount. Lol

@@SeaJayBelfast or they just have loads of money.
has anyone even noticed how similar dan the man looks to the "high roller with the big suite"? they look like twins.

I think dan the man is Alan in disguise.
Till I saw this comment I thought they were the same
Henk de Tank No. Dan on this. The other guy is Alan.
Damn. I guess gamblers have the same genes lmao.
“And eventually we lose it all” 😂
I love lous attitude during this whole documentary.
Guy was hyped up on that happy powder, even left mid-game.
When a 'friend' is someone who get paid for being so it's time to revise your life.
'I was hoping that you'd say that' lol I love Louis
The town Las Vegas was not built by winners. - Louis Theroux.
It was built by the Mob, which I suppose are the real winners lol
'What happened to my Bloody Mary?'
“I didn’t know the rules, so I’ll be leaving the decisions to Dan the Man” ... never a good sign.
"When youre winning, gambling makes perfect sense"
So true.
"did we win?"... "yes"
Louis is the columbo of the journalist world
Haha that's an excellent analogy
I got a mate who used to be a blackjack dealer at star city casino in Sydney and said that all the people who worked in the casino never gambled ha:
Yeah because they aren't allowed, my brother worked there and they look over your bank statements to see if you've gambled or not.
@@martinsanchez4827 I just mean in general dude. Not the casino

@@dadadannn really!!?? Wow, that's really strict
guy celebrates like mad, "did we win"? lol

These Louis docs are like candy I love his content
louis makes such splendid docu's
Louis: "Did we win?"
...
Dan: "Yes."
"did we win?" lol
wow 144p. That's a new one
“I may have to comp you some rooms or something....”
LOL
Only winner is Louis. He went home with 4k
i guess the problem with gambling is people have an attachment to that winning feeling and it ends up hurting them in the end
“Did we win” “yes”
not rlly, in the same documentry they showed a lady losing millions with slots, 2 guys losing tens of thousands with blackjck & a highroller losing half a million @ various games... some ppl win & some ppl lose,,,
Wrong, everybody loses. The only way to beat the game is to play once, get lucky and quit while you're ahead. Nobody does that though.
i wish i could find the whole documentary!
It's on bbc iPlayer
i think louis is a great interviewer lol.
In the long run everyone loses. If you're lucky in the short run and smart enough to quit while you're up, then you can leave with more than what you came in with.
That Hilton envelope would make a good souvenir. I wonder if Louis still has it.
I love that even after giving him a high five he asks if they won 😂
It's good to see twins in this episode.
John Devine that Canadian gambler did resemble that Baccarat degenerate
That guys charisma would make u just gamble anyway hes funny as hell
supreme confidence! the monkey phrases had me laughing lol
Getting really far ahead early is so dangerous, you end up feeling like you are earning money for doing nothing. Then you chase it.
0:27 hi I'm here to stroke your ego when you gamble lots of money
It reminded me of the card game Chandler invented to give Joey some money. 😂
He scored double cups 😃
Pit Boss: Wow, that's pretty impressive!
Louis: 💵😎I'd hoped you'd say that. 😎💵
When the BBC actually made quality programming
Allan ended as a Uber Driver in Toronto, search it up at Google

"Its Coming"' 😂🤣😝
@@IronFanJoe For the casinos sake lol....
This last scene was blatantly set up by the casino to portray Vegas in a positive light. The whole table and cards were in on it.
You think they need more business? They are not going to set the cards up, that would be almost impossible.
Also would be illegal
No man. People are so dumb and addicted they will still go to the casino. They had no problem admitting that doctor lady lost millions. She still comes back every day to give more.
@@spinwaus it would be illegal to allow the customer to win?
I assume a casino would get in a lot of trouble if they got 1 dealer to help Louis but better for the casino and the doc they do.
Is this available in 360p?

I could not be near that baccarat guy omg too loud.
