How to make di hour cheap pass

Cut di stake by half: di price go cut by half. No bet every second spin: di price go cut by half again. Choose French table: cut am by half once more. Person wey dey bet $5 for French table and dey skip every second spin dey pay about $1.70 for one hour, and e dey get di same wheel, di same dealer and di same chance of story. Di arithmetic dey reward patience, di lights no dey do am.
