Gambling for free food
I dont go to Casino's, I don't like to gamble etc... however there are three tips I have for these facilities:

1. If you go to the dogs (track/racing) there really is no point doing as I did. Taking £X amount and trying to get rid of it as quickly as possibly by predicting named places 1,2, and 3... You wont get it right. Instead, don't gamble, simply copy what the massively overweight 60 year old who has his own stool, table, drinking vessel, and has his grandkids put his bets on... chances are he lives there and will win often.

2. Join your local Casino. A few years back I joined Gala Casino, they gave me a free £5 voucher for gambling tokens (turned out they were pound coins fed into the machine for me), they also let me buy £5 more and matched it with another £5. One 30p spin later I returned all the money out the machine and we had a good 2 double Rum and cokes before leaving, plus they sent me more promotional offers.

3. Recently I attended a local casino as a Mystery Shopper, I spent money to a value as prescribed, and then a month later they paid me back... a free night out "fine" I hear you cry, but what was good about it was that if you bought burger and chips (and I was lucky enough that food was part of the free spend) they you reached £5, which earned you a free £5 bet on black/red on the roulette. I later went back and did the same again, so have 3 * £5 bets... so how's this so good? Let me explain:

A. Action: I, and my accomplice place the 'promotional token' on red/black (one on each). Two tokens are places, one is held in reserve.

B. Result: One person wins, one person loses. One person will have £5 cash, and still retain £5 token, the other person will have £0 and no token. So that's £5 cash, and 2 £5 tokens (1 on table, one in reserve)

C. Action: Winner takes their £5 to the kitty, Leaves their chip on, and other person takes 3rd chip (reserve) and bets on the other (red/black) as appropriate.

D. Result: One person wins, one person loses. One person will have £5 cash, and still retain £5 token, the other person will have £0 and no token. So that's £10 Cash, and 1 £5 token (1 on table, none in reserve)

E. Action: 3 £5 tokens have been turned into £10 cash and 1 token (remove from table) in two spins of the wheel.

F. Result: Next time you visit you have £10 to spend on food. Which means you will receive 2 * £5 gambling tokens, which means you have 3 tokens, which means you can repeat this ad infinitum, or at least until they realise.

Just remember not to gamble!

You forgot about the house favourite of zero. In this case you would lose half your bet and get returned £2.50. Which is still profit considering if was from a £5 voucher, but means you may have to skimp on the food next time round.

Yeah you're right, I forgot to mention that one... we'd figured that it'd be unlikely enough that you'd just have to pay for the £5 whenever that happened..... Im not sure that you'd get the 2.50 back on that given that it's promotional, but if you did, yeah, you'd have to put £2.50 between 2 people for the burger, so £1.25 each... shame there's a zero ;) but then these places dont expect that sort of idea, it's just a loss leader to stop you going out a buying food elsewhere and risk not having you return to gamble away your other kidney etc...
