Bond: So you want me to be half-monk, half-hitman.
M: Any thug can kill. I need you to take your ego out of the equation.

Vesper: It doesn't bother you; killing all those people?
Bond: Well I wouldn't be very good at my job if it did.

Famous Casino Slogans And Sayings Casino Slogans:- A casino is a facility for certain types of gambling. Casinos are often built near or combined with hotels, restaurants, retail shopping, cruise ships, and other tourist attractions. No compilation of poker quotes would be complete without at least one from Doyle Brunson. Brunson is a two time World Series of Poker Main Event champion, member of the Poker Hall of Fame, and one of the most famous poker players of all time. This quote from him, although somewhat simplistic, pretty much sums up what poker is all about.

Bond: I already have a dinner jacket.
Vesper: There are dinner jackets and then there are dinner jackets; this is the latter. And I need you to look like a man who belongs at that table.
Bond: How... it's tailored?
Vesper: I sized you up the moment we met.

Bond: I've got a little itch, down there. Do you mind?

Vesper: Arrogance and self-awareness seldom go hand in hand.

Vesper: [Getting into the lift.] Take the next one. There isn't enough room for me and your ego.

Solange: You like married women, don't you, James?
Bond: It keeps things simple.

Bond: Why do people who can't take advice always insist on giving it?

Mendel: Helloooooo!
Bond: Did you bring any chocolates?
Mendel: I'm afraid not. [Laughs.]

Vesper: You love me?
Bond: Enough to quit and float round the world with you... until one of us has to find an honest job. But I think that's going have to be you. I've no idea what an honest job is.

Mr. White: Hello?
Bond: Mr. White? We need to talk.
Mr. White: Who is this?
Bond: The name's Bond. James Bond.

Bond: I always thought M was a randomly assigned letter. I had no idea it stood for -
M: [quickly interrupting] Utter one more syllable and I'll have you killed.

Villiers: [M has just been woken up out of a sound sleep by a phone call from MI6] It's James... it seems he's in the Bahamas.
M: [irritated] You woke me up to tell me his holiday plans?
Villier: Well, he's logged into our secure website... using your name and password.

Le Chiffre: Tell them I'll get the money.
Mr. White: Money isn't as valuable to our organization as knowing who to trust.

Vesper: So as charming as you are, Mr. Bond... I'll keep my eyes on our government's money and off your perfectly formed arse.
Bond: You noticed.
Vesper: Even accountants have imagination.
Bond: How was your lamb?
Vesper: Skewered.
Bond: One sympathizes.

Bond: [to Dryden] I know where you keep your gun.

Bond: [Of M] Listen, you go and find her, tell her to call Security at Miami Airport because I think a bomb is about to go off. Do it now.
Villiers: Sorry, can I put you on hold?
Bond: I thought you might.

Vesper: Am I going to have a problem with you, Mr. Bond?
Bond: No, don't worry, you're not my type.
Vesper: Smart?
Bond: Single.

Bond: [Of Le Chiffre] He's all yours.
Leiter: Much appreciated, brother.

Vesper: You love me?
Bond: Enough to travel the world with you until one of us has to take an honest job... which I think is going to have to be you, because I have no idea what an honest job is.

Gettler: I'll kill her!
Bond: Allow me.

Receptionist: Welcome to the Hotel Splendid. Your name, sir?
Bond: James Bond. You'll find the reservation under Beech.

Le Chiffre: You know, I never understood all these elaborate tortures. It's the simplest thing... to cause more pain than a man can possibly endure. And of course, it's not only the immediate agony, but the knowledge that - if you do not yield soon enough - there will be little left to identify you as a man. The only question remains: will you yield, in time?

Le Chiffre: Wow. You've taken good care of your body. Such... a waste.

M: You don't trust anyone, do you?
Bond: No.
M: Then you've learned your lesson.

Mr White: You asked for the introduction. That's all my organization will guarantee.

Vesper: I can't resist waking you. Every time I do you look at me as if you hadn't seen me in years. Makes me feel reborn.
Bond: If you had just been born wouldn't you be naked?

Leiter: I should have introduced myself, seeing as we're related. I'm Felix Leiter, your brother from Langley.
[sees that Bond has a knife]
Leiter: You should have faith. As long as you keep your head about you, I think you could have him.
Bond: Had. Excuse me.
Leiter: You're not buying in?
Bond: No.
Leiter: Listen, I'm bleeding chips. I'm not going to last much longer. You have a better chance. I'll stake you. I'm saying I'll give you the money to keep going. Just one thing- you pull it off, the CIA brings him in.
Bond: And what about the winnings?
Leiter: Does it look like we need the money?

Vesper: [Bond delivers her a cocktail dress] Something you expect me to wear?
Bond: I need you looking fabulous.

M: You've got a bloody cheek.
Bond: Sorry. I'll shoot the camera first next time.
M: Or yourself.

Bond: [after reading a note left by M and seeing the Aston Martin] I love you too M.

Vesper: So?
Bond: You want to do what to me?
Vesper: You've lost me completely.
Bond: You just said you can't wait to get me back to the room.

Le Chiffre: You've changed your shirt, Mr Bond. I do hope our little game isn't causing you to perspire?
Bond: A little. But I won't consider myself to be in trouble until I start weeping blood.

Bond: Now the whole world will know that you died scratching my balls!

Bond: Dry Martini.
Bartender: Oui, monsieur.
Bond: Wait... three measures of Gordon's; one of vodka; half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it over ice, and add a thin slice of lemon peel.
Bartender: Yes, sir.
Tomelli: You know, I'll have one of those.
Infante: So will I.
Bartender: Certainly.
Leiter: My friend, bring me one as well, keep the fruit.
Le Chiffre: [annoyed] That's it? Hm? Anyone want to play poker now?
Leiter: Someone's in a hurry.

Bond: [Receiving his cover story from a porter] Apparently we're very much in love.
Vesper: Do you usually leave it to porters to tell you this sort of thing?

Bond: I think I'll call it a Vesper.
Vesper: Because of the bitter aftertaste?
Bond: No, because once you've tasted it, that's all you want to drink.

M: I would ask you if you could remain emotionally detached but I don't think that's your problem, is it, Bond?

Dryden: If the theatrics are supposed to scare me... then you have got the wrong man, Bond.

Bond: The job's done and the bitch is dead.

Vesper: How was your lamb?
Bond: Skewered. One sympathizes.

Vesper: If the only thing left of you was your smile and your little finger, you'd still be more of a man than anyone I've ever known.
Bond: That's because you know what I can do with my little finger...

Vesper: Ten million was wired to your account in Montenegro, with the contingency for five more if I deem it a prudent investment. I suppose you've given some thought to the notion that if you lose, our government will have directly financed terrorism.

Mathis: Being dead does not mean one cannot be helpful.Dryden: If the theatrics are supposed to scare me... then you have got the wrong man, Bond.

Mathis: Being dead does not mean one cannot be useful.

Obanno: I would take a hand for this betrayal, but you need it to play cards.

M: Who the hell do they think they are? I report to the Prime Minister and even he's smart enough not to ask me what we do. Have you ever seen such a bunch of self-righteous, ass-covering prigs? They don't care what we do; they care what we get photographed doing. And how the hell could Bond be so stupid? I give him double-O status and he celebrates by shooting up an embassy. Is the man deranged? And where the hell is he? In the old days if an agent did something that embarrassing he'd have a good sense to defect. Christ, I miss the Cold War.

Dryden: Your file shows no kills, but to become a double-0, it takes...
Bond: Two.
Dryden: How did he die?
Bond: Your contact? Not well.
Dryden: Made you feel it, did he? Well, you needn't worry. The second is...
Bond: [Bond shoots Dryden] Yes... considerably.

Vesper: I'm the money.
Bond: Every penny of it.

Bond: You don't think this is a very good plan, do you?
Vesper: So there is a plan?

Le Chiffre: I'm afraid that your friend Mathis... is really... my friend Mathis.

Mathis: It's amazing what you can do with Photoshop these days.

Le Chiffre: I have two pair, and you have a 17.4 percent chance of making your straight.

Bond: M really doesn't mind you making a little money on the side, Dryden. She would just prefer it wasn't by selling secrets.

Bond: Very sorry. That last hand... nearly killed me.

Mathis: How's our girl? Melted your cold heart yet?

Bond: [as Solange is kissing her way down Bond's chest] Can I ask you a personal question?
Solange: Now would seem an appropriate time.

Vesper: Rolex?
Bond: Omega.

Vesper: You're not going to let me in there. You've got your armour back on. That's that.
Bond: I have no armour left. You've stripped it from me. Whatever is left of me - whatever is left of me - whatever I am - I'm yours.

Bond: Vesper? I do hope you gave your parents hell for that.

M: We should've picked up on it but sometimes we're so focused on our enemies... we forget to watch our friends.

Obanno: Do you believe in God, Mr. Le Chiffre?
Le Chiffre: No. I believe in a reasonable rate of return.

Bond: [after bond has just lost his 10 million in the game, to the bartender] Vodka-martini.
Bartender: Shaken or stirred?
Bond: [pissed off] Do I look like I give a damn?

Bond: [upon receiving their alias documents] I'm Mr. Arlington Beech, professional gambler, and you're Miss Stephanie Broadchest...
Vesper: I am not!
Bond: You're going to have to trust me on this.
Vesper: Oh no I don't.

If you talk to anyone who plays blackjack (or any casino game) on a regular basis, you are more than likely to hear about their betting system. A betting system increases your odds of winning by varying your bet sizes and adjusting your timing to increase the odds of winning.

When hearing the words ‘betting system’, most people think of the blackjack team comprised of students from MIT. Not only was it the subject of the best-selling book Bringing Down The House by Ben Mezrich, but it was also made into a movie starring Kevin Spacey called 21.

Article Highlights:

Martingale System Paroli System 1-3-2-6 System D'Alembert System Labouchere System

While the movies glamorized the MIT blackjack team, let’s be clear they operated against casino rules. Most betting systems are meant to be used by a single person; the MIT Blackjack Team went a few steps further. The team used a shared bank and consisted of spotters and big players to try and thwart the watchful eye of casino security.

They took basic blackjack strategy, applied their mathematical brains, and developed these skills into a team strategy where the goal was to win at blackjack at all costs. This included card counting and team members playing various roles, all to circumvent being noticed in order to score a profit. While technically not illegal, they did break several well-known casino rules. Rumor has it team members are still banned from playing blackjack in many casinos.

This was an operation and a business, and is not likely to be replicated with today's technological advances in security making it more likely to be spotted.

It is never advisable to take a line that goes against house rules. Even so, there are systems for the recreational casino game player to help them get ahead and which don’t include card counting or flirting between the line of ethical and unethical play.

Before we talk about the famous betting systems you can incorporate into your casino betting strategy, it's important to know all of the systems are based on three basic methods:

1. Positive Progression

Positive progression is designed to take advantage of the cyclical nature of cards. You start with your base bet and increase your bet size with each win, returning to the base bet after a losing hand. Positive progression lets you take advantage of winning streaks and requires less capital.

2. Negative Progression

Negative progression assumes that, even when on a losing streak, you should start to win eventually. Simply, then, you increase the bet after losing a hand to recoup the loss. It requires more capital and carries more risk than the positive progression method.

3. Insurance

The insurance method is a compromise between the positive and negative progression methods. Your base bet is higher than a positive progression bet, and the goal is to decrease your betting amounts with each win. It is designed to protect your winnings and to set you up to play with house money.

Knowing the basic methods will help you to understand the nuances of specific betting systems.

The 5 Most Famous Betting Systems


1. The Martingale System

Thought to be the oldest-known betting system, the Martingale system uses the negative progression method and is based on the probability that you will eventually win.

You start with a base of one bet. If you win, you return to the base bet, and if you lose, you double your bet. With each loss, you double the amount of your last bet. When you eventually win, you will recover all of the bets you lost and end up with a one bet profit.

2. The Paroli System

The Paroli system uses positive progression and requires you to increase your bets when you win instead of when you lose. You start with one base bet and return to this base bet after losing a hand.

To increase your bet, you must win two hands in a row. The amount of the increase and how many times you will increase your bet before pulling money back should be decided before play. Most people tend to increase their wager by one base bet and will begin to pull back after five consecutive wins.

3. The 1-3-2-6 System

Similar to The Paroli system, the 1-3-2-6 system uses the positive progression method based on the idea you can win four times in a row.

You start with your base bet. Regardless of whether you win or lose, your second bet is three base bets; the third is two base bets, and the fourth is six base bets. After your fourth bet, you begin the series of bets again.

4. The D'Alembert System

The D'Alembert system is a combination of the negative progression and insurance methods. It simply states that you increase your wager one base bet after a loss and decrease your wager one base bet after a win.

5. The Labouchere System

The Labouchere system is a negative progression method betting system also known as the 'Cancellation' system. You start by writing down a series of numbers. The series can be as long or as short as you want and do not need to be sequential.

Casino Famous Lines Las Vegas

Each number in the series represents one base bet. Let's say you chose the numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, 9. Your first bet is the total of the first and last number. In this example, your bet is ten base bets.

Casino Famous Lines In America

If you win, cross out the numbers and bet the total of the next two outside numbers, which would be three and seven. If you lose the hand, add the amount wagered to the end of the series. Staying with this example, the series is now 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10. Your next bet is again the outside numbers.

You begin again with your original series when you can cross out each number in the series. This system requires a large bankroll even though your starting bets are small.

As you can see, there are a variety of betting systems that can help you secure a more profitable casino visit. But remember, it's important to determine your bankroll, pick one system and stick with it. Make the rules before you play to increase your odds of leaving with a profit.
