    It’s in the Casino Royale on Royal Caribbean Cruise Line that offers complimentary staterooms for 2 as soon as you earn enough points for their current promotion. Earning a “Complimentary” cruise means you only have to pay for the taxes and port fees. Of course, you can earn points on casino games other than craps…We just prefer craps but have been known to occasionally play other games when the craps table isn’t open.
    Always check with the casino host for the current cruise promotions.
    NOTE
    Earning “FREE” Money, Flights, Cruise Offers, Etc…may include paying out of pocket for taxes and/or other fees.

    This is one of the most valuable videos you’ve put out for your viewers!!! Great words of wisdom and hopefully folks can learn a lot from this. I know I’m guilty of not persistently reminding the pit bosses to rate every single one of my bets. I’ve definitely had days where no strategy seemed to work. Frustrating.

    Hey Brian this is one of your best videos yet! It’s brutally honest and it gives your channel credibility. I have a couple of questions.
    When you and your spouse play, do you use a two person strategy?
    If you have a $2100 dollar bank roll with 7 $300 sessions, at 10 shooters per session, would that be $30 a shooter, is that enough bank roll to earn 1200 points?
    Again, another great video Brian.

    • @holyrollr
      @holyrollr  Před rokem

      Thanks for the encouragement and thanks for watching 😁 - sometimes we use a strategy that works together but most of the time we just play our own strategies. I do think that is enough bankroll as long as you do a hybrid strategy that can hedge your risk…this will allow you to play longer and get more points…points are calculated based on average bet and TIME at the table…hope this helps 😁
      Thanks again 😊

    nice show, take 1/3 of your starting intent bank roll play and place it in a pocket that you don't touch. if you lose your 2/3rds bank roll play, leave the casino and place that 1/3 in the safe. next time you play you just take the next amount of money to start with , remove 1/3rd, place in the no touch pocket and work with the 2/3rds. if you are up 5 to 10 %, chip up and take a break or stop playing.

    Thanks for sharing your experiences on that cruise. I too cruised on the same ship but played roulette instead. I earn an average of 200 points per hour with an average bet of US$ 20. One night I spent four hours gambling an average of US$ 120 and earned mere 200 points! I talked to the management and they showed me some weird math to try to prove themselves right. I realized that I would get nowhere if I scaled the issue up, but the next day I bet close to minimum for a couple of hours and I got 1000 points. I do not believe it was a coincidence, but they "admitting" their mistake and trying to make amends. The lesson I learned is that betting high for an hour gets you less points than betting half of that for double the time, while those must yield the same result.

I've certainly been in your position and it can feel really low, but getting that free cruise seems to make it feel a little better. Best wishes, Sir.

    When you filled out the pre-booking form you indicated one guest. I assume that can be modified later when you actually book a cruise? Curious as to why you would do it.

    • @holyrollr
      @holyrollr  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Yes. I often just book for myself and then get Amber to earn the same offer…then we can add a second person to our rooms. If Amber doesn’t get the offer then I’ll just add her…if she does get the offer and we can’t get anyone else to go with us then we use two rooms and get double points. Hope this makes sense ✅😁

  • @bottomtothetop1280
    @bottomtothetop1280 Před rokem +1

    I typically earn between 600 to 800 points for around 5-6 hours on RC... If your pitboss knows your play they should not be messing with your points. Typically if they shorted you like that then it means either they didn't like you or something went fowl at the table. I would not personally ask to have my bets logged each new hand. Also remember that coin they are bringing on and off on the table is what determines game "on" vs. "Off" time on RC. If the stickman isn't good and doesn't turn the game on and off correctly it will really mess the points up. GL just found your vids and I also play for cruises!

      Next cruise booking ($200 deposit) gets you free play money and onboard credit. I always recommend going through next cruise. It’s the very best value. You don’t need to pick a date, you just need the reservation ID number to get the booking bonus. You still have 30 days to choose…if you reserve through next cruise without the $200 deposit, you’ll only have 7 days before they cancel the reservation. Hope this helps.

    A lot of times, the pit boss is watching their new dealers and the box man will be doing the input.
    Whenever I increase my bets or have a higher than average level, I always holler at the box.."Hey, box mark my bet." That way, he knows that you are aware of points getting tracked and they'll pay more attention to you.

    @phxsun2001tony Před rokem

    I have been getting free cruises the last few years by providing gambling action on cruise ships. You can get the most points playing slot machines, but the negative odds against you is about 10%.
    My main strategy to get qualified is to play video poker machines. I find the ones with the best odds and play. Some of them are the 7/5 Bonus Poker machine. The negative odds is may be 2%.
    Blackjack is pretty good depending on the rules. With good rules, it may be 1 to 2 % using basic strategy. I can count cards at 1 to 4 deck tables and at least break even with the house. I like the hand shuffle two decks paying 3 to 2 on BJ. Depending on the other rules. The negative odds may be 1 to 2%. The key is to play $25 or more the first 10 or so hands when the pit boss is determining your average bet. Then I can play 10 to $25 when he is not at my table. I am a good card counter. I can usually at least break even playing BJ. My goal is to generate actions and get free cruises.
    I also play craps, but you cannot get a lot of points unless you have $100 to $150 spread between passline, place bets and other bad negative bets line Fields, Hardways ......... The negative odds on Fields and Hardway bets are about -10%. I don't touch them. When I am the shooter, I usually play $10 Passline with no odds, $12 place bets on 6 and 8. If 6 or 8 hits, I throw in $10 and change them to $44 inside. So I have $54 spread at that point, $10 passline and $44 inside place bet. Then I start pressing and taking winnings. My initial investment is only $34 ($10 Passline and $10 on 6 and 8 each). If the passline # start to hit, I put odds on my passline bet. If I am not the shooter, I skip the passline bet. I bet the Come, then bet Don't Come, then place # 6 or 8 (only one not both). I try to minimize my loss from bad shooters by maintaining just these three bets. I am a very good shooter. I have a half table at home that I practice my setting and throw. I live in Vegas and I play craps a few time a week just to practice my skills. I love playing craps at cruise ships because they can tolerate short rolls. That's how I gain my advantage. My throw is very soft and 1/3 of the time, one dice may not reach the back board. I got yelled at all the time by pit bosses in Vegas. Also, I can find empty tables when casino just open or during dinner time (5 to 7 PM).
    I am taking four free cruises this year and they are all 9 to 12 days cruises in Europe, Japan and Asia. On the average they are $1,200 to $1,500 for each person or double that for two people.
    You can get free cruises by providing gambling actions on cruises without losing. I have been doing it for a few years now. Try not to loose on the cruise ship is the key; otherwise, you may as well just pay for your cruises.
