Homemade Pizza and Martini Night

There are times when you eat an awesome homemade Pizza dinner at your parents house and then come back home craving a tasty Martini with delicious olives to much on. That's exactly what happened tonight. My dad (Chef Pasquale) has his own Italian cooking show on YouTube and I do the filming and editing for him. He makes recipes that he's learned over the years being a cook at multiple restaurants in Italy and New Jersey. Tonight he wanted to make his own pizza. He made an Arugula, Prosciutto and Onion pizza, check out the picture!

My god it was delicious! Totally crispy, with homemade tomato sauce and imported parmigiana cheese straight from Orsara di Puglia, Italy; where my dad is from. I can say that I lived with my parents for 25 years and tried many Italian dishes. But ever since his show has gone live on YouTube I've tried many more recipes that I've never known he knew before his show. I've tried some very good dishes to some very distasteful dishes. Now I don't want to discredit his distasteful dishes, because they might be delicious to some people, just not to me. For example, he made cow tongue and goat head; seriously who eats that? I don't want to say they were disgusting, it's just that I would never want to eat that and I am definitely not accustomed to it. 



So as I was saying, I came home and craved a Martini. Luckily I had three more olives left; the perfect amount! I pierced three green olives with my pick and left them sitting in the Martini glass. I grabbed a few ice cubes from the freezer, dropped them into the shaker. I then poured in one shot of Extra Dry Vermouth, and then two shots of Gordon's Gin. I shook it up for about a minute and then poured it over the olives, filling the glass to the brim. It was so full, I had to take a few sips before I even had a chance to sit down and enjoy it. The first taste was very bitter and dry, just how I like it. The Gin and Vermouth marinated olives were ready to taste and they sure as hell had a small kick. It was then safe to walk upstairs to my computer to edit my dads pizza recipe. Check it out below!

5 Rule Roulette System


So you're here because you would like to make thousands of dollars playing roulette right? If that's why you're here, I'm going to have to say, click the back button or the X in the top right hand corner; you're in the wrong place. If you're here because you would like to to make small amounts of money, then you're definitely in the right place. I will like to share with you the 5 Rule Roulette System that I've come up with. This strategy might be published else where, but my concerns are not with what other people do, but with what I do. Hopefully you will find this Roulette strategy helpful and give it a try, I would also like it if you would leave some comments if you had a successful day with the 5 Rule Roulette System. Alright, enough with the intro, let's dig right in.

My strategy is built off of the Martingale betting system. The Martingale betting system requires you to double your previous bet, to win back your money, plus making your profit. For instance, say you bet $10 on red, the dealer shoots the ball around the roulette wheel and the ball lands on black. You lose your $10, so your next bet would require you to put down $20 on red. Now when the ball lands on red, you would receive $20 back from the dealer and you would now have $40 in your pocket instead of the initial $30. Therefore you are making a $10 profit. With this strategy, you need to bet on the same color every spin and if it lands on the opposite color, keep doubling your bet until it lands on your color. This betting system is very good, if you have lots of cash. I've seen times where the same color would land 12 times in a row. If you were on a minimum bet table of $10 and the same color landed 12 times in a row, you would have to shell out $20,480 if it kept landing on the opposite color! This is definitely not the way to go, especially because of the maximum bet set at each table.

This passed weekend I had the opportunity to go to Atlantic City and use the 5 Rule Roulette System. I'm not going to lie, I made a $95 profit that day and I'm happy. I'm $95 richer and I know the strategy works. All you need is time, two legs and at least $200. The 5 Rule Roulette System requires you to be able to walk around a lot! You need to constantly scout tables, and bounce between different casinos if need be. In Atlantic City, I personally like Caesars and Trump Plaza. One reason is because they are right next to each other and because they each have at least 9 Roulette tables. I like Trump Plaza more because they sometimes have $5 minimum bet tables, which makes it easier to win.

Alright let's get into this strategy. At each Roulette table they have electronic boards which show past results. You need to pay attention to these boards, if a table has hit red 3 times in a row, the table is about to be hot.  You need to bet the minimum of the opposite color once the table has hit the same color at least 5 times. 5 still poses some risks, but if you're at a $5 minimum table, statistically you should do fine. If you want even lower risks wait until 6 or 7 in a row. If you wait for 6 or 7 you are decreasing your odds of losing. The only time I get in late at spin 6 or 7, is when I first walk into a casino and notice it. I wouldn't sit and wait until 6 or 7, I would immediately get in after spin 5 with the minimum bet. If I lose the next spin, I would need to double my bet.

The 5 Rule Roulette System worked each and every time for me this passed weekend. I did have two instances where I gave up, because I did not want to bet $80, but if I would have bet the next spin with $80, I would have won. That means, I got in at spin 6 and left at spin 9. If I stuck to the plan, I would have had more than a $95 profit for the day. This is why it's good to bet on $5 table, you can play longer and lower your chances of a loss. Don't get me wrong, $5 is not much, but if you keep applying this method, over time you will be up instead of down. There is one rule, you need to figure out how much you are willing to lose on each bet. If you don't want to go all the way up to $80, then stop and find a new table and start over. After all, we all know you're not going to get rich quick. You're there to have a great time with some friends and down a few free drinks.

It can take hours to start seeing some good money, but I would say you can average between $20 and $30 an hour. This means you will have to be at it hardcore, finding good tables, even if it mean you have to leave the casino you're in and go to a different one. I was exhausted and my legs were hurting by the end of the night.

I would really like to stress that this method does not guarantee you will win each and every time. There have been times where the same color has hit more than 20 times. Increasing your bet until 20 will not only go over the maximum bet, but you will pretty much be broke. I would also like to say you increase your chances of winning when you bounce between different tables, so make sure you do a lot of walking, even if you have to go to a different casino.

I hope you find the 5 Rule Roulette System helpful and would like to see any comments you might have. I'll be going to Atlantic City again this weekend and play some. I'm aiming for $150 this time, but I will be happy to leave with anything over $50.

As always good luck and don't forget, minimal losses only!
