Funny Bone | Want Does Not Mean Can

“I say I want, not necessary mean I can...”

This is the best way to say no without hurting others.
“I say I want to help, not necessary mean I can...”
“I say I want to date the Princess of GGC, not necessary mean I can...”
It is a good excuse for your shortcomings.

This quote originated from a member claiming he wants to quit gambling each time he loses. The irony was his losses were not catastrophic. Having said it too many times without taking the necessary action, he became the boy who cried wolf. Each time he said he wants to quit gambling, he will be ridicule by other members. Members finally call him the great pretender. Fed up of being labelled as the pretender he finally said, “I say I want, not necessary mean I can...”

The addiction of gambling is strong. You want to stop gambling but you may not have the will power to do it. You don't need huge losses to stop. You may just be tired of it after awhile but you just can't walk away from the table.

The best application for this is on the table. I want to make a twin towers with pineapple chips not necessary mean I can. Setting high goals is very destructive.

Funny Bone | Bad Habits Die Hard

Guerrilla Gamblers Club (GGC) is full of artists. This song is also suited for GGC's sub group the Quit Gambling Club (QGC).

GGC's version of Twins+Boy'z - 死性不改 (Bad Habits Die Hard)

再見了我的寵愛 誰願接受這種意外
Goodbye my love, nobody willing to accept this outcome
你讚我god of gamble 不願看著我離開
You said I am god of gamble, depressing to see me quit

Chorus
同伴也話我傻 喜歡受挫 寧願limbobo在傷我
Comrades say I'm stupid, welcome setback, and prefer to be hurt by limbobo again and again
人天生根本都不可以 愛死 genting casino
People, by nature, should not love genting casino
怎奈你最夠刺激我 凡事也win倒我
Amazing how you stimulate me but end up everything also can win me
幾多黑心的blackjack 我亦捱得過
The countless black hearted blackjack, I also can withstand
來banker 來player 就擊倒我麼
Banker comes, Player comes, can knock me down mer ?
誰landu不会insaf 死性我不想改
Show me a landu and you will see someone with no desire to repent, I do not want to change.
如我沒有你的GP 我沒法活得來
without your GP, I cannot survive
pineapple的存在 是我從來都志在
With the pineapple dangled in front of me, I have the spirit to fight on.
難在我输哂 pokai
It would be very difficult for me to lose all and pokai

我怕可一不可再 難道highland都有鬼?
I can’t help but wonder about the supernatural at Highland?
我確信dou shen不會錯 一铺输哂 ma chao hai
I believe "dou shen" cannot be wrong, lose all in one game just scream, “ma chao hai!!”

Repeat Chorus

Leave it to the creative talents at GGC to turn the theme from love to gambling. Gambling is after all our favorite pass time.

Funny Bone | Anytime But Now

“I can quit gambling anytime but not now.”

It can be applied to anything you want for example.
I can quit smoking anytime but not now.
I can quit whoring anytime but not now.


This quote originated from one of our gatherings. One of the members was very depressed. He talked about how miserable life had been to him then said “Seriously I can die anytime. You just tell me when you want me to die and I will die.” Everyone responded in unison, “Go and die, now”. The miserable member said, “of course now cannot”.

Hall of Fame | LockON

Using winnings from Genting, LockOn built enough capital to start his own business. He has an uncanny ability to get 80% accuracy in baccarat. Whenever LockON goes uphill members would make an effort to join him to follow his bets. After many requests LockON finally share his methods for baccarat.

My method if betting is quite simple. There are only two things I will go for - streak or d/d(ding dong). Mostly I go for streak. Before I bet I already plan 2-3 steps ahead what would I bet if what comes out. My capital is always 3k. If kana sapu by tiger I will leave. No more no less. Actually to win 7k-10k is not a hard thing for me lar but hard thing is running away with that amount. My tactics is always the same. Flat bet 200-300 per bet test power. If beginning got luck > martingale. If beginning give eaten > flat bet gain confidence. Like rm100 per bet until recover. Martingale is needed to push hard and fast when the luck comes. Don’t need martingale much just usually 3 steps then follow by flat betting is already more than enough. 300/600/1200 ---> 3 step martingale > > > follow by 500 per bet. IF streak goes pass 5-6 step = earnings = 300+600+1200 + 500 + 500 + 500 = 3600. But usually as per my experience the streak normally stop at 3 or 4. That is why my martingale is usually 2-3 step then will flat bet. Only use martingale when you are winning never use martingale when losing. From my experience when losing flat bet is needed to recover confidence and modale. I have so many times lose until rm 500 flat bet rm100 all the way to recover and eventually winning 5-7k. To maintain bankroll is important. Never ever think that your bank account still have money so I bet big even if lose I can take from bank or fast fast recover, i can say 9 out of 10 times money will fly. Maintain your initial bankroll even lose until rm 200 flat bet rm50 until recover. If lose all what else cabut lor

LockON made GGC’s Hall of Fame when he turned his usual 3k bankroll into 36k. Ever since then members call him Grandmaster LockON (GLO).

Hall of Fame | Unker LDC

Unker Ldc (facebook id) or LANduChai (lowyat forum id) made GGC’s hall of fame for building twin towers with black chips (one black chip has the value of RM100). He made two stacks of black chip that were both knee’s height. When asked to share his thoughts, he said,
當你已經決定運用一個數額目標來做起點,那麼你必須向著你的目標前進。請記住這一句筆墨真言 - “起初如何,今日依然,直到永遠”。

Translation:
"Once you have decided on a financial target as your starting point, then you must forge ahead toward the target. Always remember this saying, 'The manner of your start, the same way you will continue now and for ever'."

Initially Unker Ldc made only one stack in the toilet to take a picture of it. He was not able to do it as it keeps toppling over. He gave up trying when one chip fell in the toilet bowl. He tried to recover it but it was in vain. Then he constructed twin towers.

Newbie’s Hangout | Games to Play

With so many games in the casino, newbie had a hard time deciding which game to start with. Understanding house edge is the first place to start before deciding which game to play. House edge is like surcharged paid to the casino to play a game. Yes, it is not free of charge to play at casino. Games are design to collect this surcharge from you without you realizing. Casino can’t be rendering their services for free. They have overheads and payroll to look into.

Roulette
This game is highly recommended because it has the least house edge. For even money bets half the numbers are red and half the numbers are black. Zero is green. It is neither black nor red. This is the house edge. It is the small advantage the casino had over you. The same goes for betting on odds or even. Zero is neither odd nor even. Zero is neither for 1-18 (low/small) nor 19-36 (high/big).

It does not have to be complicated. Beginners should start with even money bets. Once you get the hang of it try the dozen or column bets. These bets pay double. When you are familiar go for the inside bets. Start with line bets and move your way to single bets. Check the roulette tutorial if you are loss. After hitting the inside bets you will know enough about this game to design your own system.

Baccarat
If you like cards games go for baccarat. Among all the card games, baccarat has the least house edge. If you look up the rules for baccarat you will know that banker has higher chances of winning. It is not 55% but you will be paid 95% if you win on a wager with banker. This is the little house edge that you pay. However it does not apply to wager on player. Player bets are even money. The 95% payout on banker is known as commission baccarat. In a non commission baccarat wagers on banker gets paid even money however if banker wins with a score of 6 only half of what was waged is paid.

Tai Sai
Tai Sai has the highest house edge for their even money bets. Outcome of dice will range from 3 - 18. “Wai Sek” is a situation where all three dice have the same number (111, 222, 333, 444, 555, 666). Should Wai Sek occurs even money bets are forfeited. Comparing with roulette, Tai Sai had a huge house edge. In roulette you have 37 numbers but only one number (0) that forfeits even money bets. Tai Sai has 6 outcomes that will kill even money bets. If you still want to play dice for variety go for the Single Dice Bet. Look for the last three items in the type of bet list in our Tai Sai Tutorial. They are the big pictures of dice from 1 to 6 at the bottom of the betting table. These bets had the least house edge in Tai Sai.

Newbie’s Hangout | Bet Size

How much should I bet per hand? This is the most common question from a newbie. The most common answer is, “bet a small amount just for fun to try out your luck”. The Guerrilla Gamblers Club (GGC) would not recommend it. In the Ways of the Guerrillas, we do not bet for fun and will refrain from luck testing bets.

Betting for fun will always remain as fun. You will not experience the problems associated with betting for extra pocket money to take home. If you have not acquired this experience, you will not look for ways to improve yourself. For this reason GGC is against betting for fun. It is a waste of time.

Luck testing bets is another time waster. Assume that all bets are even money bets as beginner usually starts with these bets. If you have average luck that day, you will end up with losses being greater than wins by a small margin. Even if losses were to exceed wins by one, it is still a net loss. With the best scenario for average luck, you get the same amount of wins and losses. It will still end up a loosing session because of house edge.

For GGC bet size is base on your income. Set aside a certain percentage of your income for gambling. It had to be an amount that will not affect your livelihood. It should not be too small that you derive no satisfaction when you have won money which you consider peanuts. Once this money is lost wait for the next paycheck and try again.

Your bet size will be determined by how many hands you intend to play. A simple division will give you the bet size per hand. If you do not know how many hands you wish to play, start with five. Adjust it with trail and error as you go along and you will know how many chances you need to make each session a winning session. If you win spend it. Unless you get rewarded you will not be motivated to gamble for extra pocket money.

Newbie’s Hangout | Deadly Sojourn

Beginners are fabled to be lucky. Being blessed with beginners luck can end up being a cursed instead. Everyone likes to win big money. Winning that is ten or twenty times your capital can put you on cloud 9. If this happens on your first gambling trip, it will most likely make you think that gambling is a piece of cake. The moment this thought comes to your mind, you had begun on the journey that will turn your gambling sojourn into a nightmare.

You will begin to think of the big winnings and attempt to do it again. If you had come short of it, your greed will tell you to press on until you get it. With each loss it gets harder and harder to attain the target. If you continue to chase for it, you had just taken the first step in creating irresponsible gambling habits.

In contrast if you had come short of your super performance day but prudence tells you to leave, that may or may not save you. The temptation will come again and again. Each time fear or prudence leads you away the bait will continue to be dangled in front of you on your next visit. Once you gathered a handsome winning, you will no longer have fear to drag you away because you had won a great deal of money. This is when your destructive habits get created.

First win do not have to be a big windfall. Consistent small wins from the day you started off can also get you thinking that gambling is easy or that you cannot lose. Never think gambling is easy. It is never easy. It requires a lot of discipline and control of your emotions in order not to develop injurious gambling habits.


Newbie's Hangout | Tai Sai Tutorials

Newbie's Hangout | Baccarat Tutorials

Baccarat is a very popular game in Asia. Unlike most other card games, it is not betting your hand against the banker. You may bet on Banker or Player. It’s similar to a ball game in which you can bet on either one of the teams to win. The picture below shows the layout of the betting table mini baccarat.


baccarat betting table

The numbers 1 to 7 indicates a maximum of 7 participants for the table. Bets on Player wins, are place on the blue section. Bets for Banker win are place on the red section. Bets for Player Pair are place on the long semi arc section on the left. Bets for Banker Pair are place on the long semi arc section on the right. Bets for a Tie Game are place on the long semi arc section on the center.

All cards from 2 to 9 are counted at face value and an Ace is counted as 1. Picture cards (Kings, Queens and Jacks) and tens have a value of 0. The rules for counting the score is to subtract by ten each time the sum of the value of the cards exceed 10. The score will be 3 if the cards had a face value of 6 and 7. The sum of 6 and 7 is 13. Being greater than 10, 13 is subtracted by 10 to get 3. If the subsequent card has a value of 9, the score is 2. The sum of 3 and 9 is 12. A subtraction of 10 from 12 to get 2. Base on this counting method the highest score is 9 and the lowest is 0.

The first card is dealt to the Player and it alternates with Banker. If the first two cards on either side has a score of 8 or 9 (the two highest scores), it is call a natural win. In a natural wins both side will not draw the third card.

In the absence of a natural win, Player draws the third card with a score of 5 or less. Banker will stand at 7 regardless of Player score. If Player stands, Banker will stand with a score of 6. Other rules concerning the drawing of the Banker’s are as tabulated below.

Player's Third Card\
Banker's Score
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

YC is our man with heart of gold who works on a volunteer basis. He has no personal benefits or derive any monetary returns should a person with irresponsible gambling habits (rotten gambler) gets reformed. He would get a high if that happens. It is the same high that you and I would get if you managed to be of help to someone.

Other than this high, what keeps YC going at it? It is his compassion for the people who were suffering from within with a few people who can understand. He has been there. Yes, YC himself was an ex rotten gambler. He overcame his problem and now he wants to help those who had walked his miserable old path.


The Rehab Facilities

The rehab is run by a Christian Group. Its centre is in Bandar Tasik Selatan. It has the appearance of an office and equipped with a lecture hall. Classes will be conducted on Mondays for those who are not hard core yet. The non hard cores are people who still have a roof over their heads, not hunted by loan shark, etc.

The center had hostels in Seremban, Johore and a few other places. It is there to help those who have trouble with family or loan sharks or just need to cool down. These places are restricted. Once you are in, you will be there for 3 months to undergo rehabilitation.


GGC’s Advise

We seriously recommend those who think they have had enough of his/her gambling habits to go with YC to register with the rehab. Join a few classes and see. It will bring many things to your realization as these class modules were written by ex rotten gamblers. There is no harm to try it out. It is better than to continue suffering in silence.

If loss of face is keeping your away, there is no need to worry. Rotten gamblers come from all walks of life. YC had seen 60 year old uncles who lost their business, aunties who played only rm 0.20 per point in mahjong but end up owing thousands of ringgit, aunties who were brought there by their children, 20 something kids were brought there by their parents, big businessmen who drives Estima and the list can go on and on. Please, there is NO SHAME at all to admit that you had a gambling problem. Just go there to seek help.

Most of the time rotten gamblers with intention to quit have found our club while surfing for help. They have our sympathies and we could only offer them our advice. We adopted the lyrics of “Gambler’s Regrets” and make it the theme song for QGC.

We will use 赌仔自叹/Gambler's Regrets as the theme song for QGC
歌 詞:「拎霖(呀)六、長衫六、高腳七,(呀)仲有一隻大頭六;二三更,瓜老襯(啦),輸到我木;日夜賭場嚟(呀)侍候,生意唔(呀)撈,我兩頭游(呀); 我嘅錢輸(呀)晒,真係冇修;食更青,頂肚癮,搵菜頭;劃積(cheque)又怕,彈返轉(呀)頭;(呢)問(呀)人哋借(呀),佢又擰吓擰吓頭;籌碼 部,佢又詐嬲,拈出碼頭,把本收;爛手錶都當晒,『冚塴唥』冇謀;祖先不開眼,令我(就)好擔憂;我從前(呀)知道係咁醜(啦),我都唔使踎街 頭......

You can also contact our QGC Chairman, YC Joo at 016 5185 765 or whyseej00@gmail.com.

WAY OF THE GUERRILLAS
Guerrillas are popular for their hit and run tactics.
~ Once you sense your luck running out, bag the money and run.
~ Prolonging a raid only leads to more casualties.

Guerrillas no reinforcement needs. They retreat to fight again.
~ Once you lost your capital it is time to leave the casino.
~ Do not take more money from your purse, atm, or credit cards.
~ Live to fight another day. It will not happen if you deplete your resources.

Guerrillas do not burden themselves.
~ Make every wager with a trouble free mind.
~ Do not gamble to vent out anger when facing an emotional crisis.
~ Do not gamble in hope of easing certain financial problems.
~ Using money allocated for other purpose such as rent, bills, etc increases burden.

Guerrilla will only attack with strong instincts.
~ Bet only when you are certain and refrain from luck testing bets.
~ When uncertain abstain from betting. There is no need to bet every hand.

Guerrilla cuts unnecessary costs.
~ Keep your cost low by looking for freebies and giveaways from the casino.

The way of the guerrilla is not a fool proof system aimed at breaking casinos. It will definitely not make you an invincible gambler. By design all casino games have odds favoring the casino. The way of the guerrilla is, however, aimed at making its followers responsible gamblers. We are strongly against irresponsible or rotten gamblers as they create problems for themselves and their love ones. Rotten gamblers should seek help at gambling rehabilitation centers. Click this link for some info about the rehab center. You can also contact our QGC Chairman, YC Joo at 016 5185 765 or whyseej00@gmail.com. Yes we are repeating because we want to help those whose gambling habits had become a problem.

There is no holy grail here. No systems or methods will work all the time. A system that works for others may not work for you. Come and share your system and methods freely. As responsible gamblers please do not blame anyone but only yourself for any misfortunes resulting from application of any methods, systems or strategies obtained here.

As comrade in arms your Battle Report (BR) would be of interest here. This report should include details such as the games you played, how much you bet per hand/round, your playing style, etc. Again one man’s meat is another man’s poison. Do not attempt to outdo one another.
