How to Protect Your Money in the 2022 WSOP
How to protect your bankroll in the 2022 WSOP? The 2022 World Series of Poker (WSOP event) is just around the corner and many people reading WSOP-related articles are planning to fly to Las Vegas for poker‘s longest-running WSOP Main Event live event And get the WSOP Gold Bracelet. The thought of going to Las Vegas is enough to make people giddy with excitement. After all, it’s the largest adult playground on the planet. What these people don’t realize is that everything in Las Vegas is about reducing your cash load. If you spend months or even years building up WSOP funds, you want to protect it at all costs. This is how you do it.
Avoid playing slot machines and video poker at the airport
The airport in Las Vegas is now called Harry Reed International Airport, but for most people, it will always be McCarran Airport. You finally landed in Sin City – Las Vegas, passed immigration, claimed your luggage; you’re finally here, in Vegas, baby! You’ll notice slot machines and video poker machines everywhere in Las Vegas; you can even find them in bathrooms! Want to play some slot machines or video poker while waiting for a taxi? Do not!
Slots at the airport have the lowest Return to Player (RTP) anywhere in Las Vegas. The RTP for these airport hours is 85%, which equates to a 15% house edge. Of course, you can also choose to set fire to your hard-earned funds like this.
Video poker terminals at airports have a similar situation. If you must play slot machines and video poker, do so in an actual casino with a more favorable RTP.
Only use official taxis
There are shuttles from the airport to Las Vegas, but Lyft’s Uber taxi is usually just as cheap, if not cheaper. Only use official taxis on any rides you take.
Vegas taxi drivers are notorious for “long haul,” so to speak, a term used to take scenic routes. They drive far and needlessly add $5-10 to your journey. Avoid this longer route by instructing your driver to avoid the tunnel. It’s also worth pretending this isn’t your first rodeo in Las Vegas to give the impression that you know where you’re going and that you’re aware of this common scam.
Room service is a last resort; same as a mini fridge
You have now arrived at your hotel, paid the hidden resort fee, and arrived in your room. Are you hungry and thirsty after your trip? Don’t order room service or touch anything in the in-room mini fridge as they are a total rip-off.
It’s not uncommon for hotels to charge upwards of $50 for burgers, fries, and cokes when you order room service. If there’s one thing Las Vegas has to offer, it’s a plethora of fast food restaurants where a meal costs well under $50.
Likewise, the price of mini fridges has risen sharply. If you think about it, it’s your money for $15 for a bottle of water or $20 for a can of beer. Don’t think you can take items out of the refrigerator and replace them with similar items from the store, as most indoor refrigerators have sensors that detect when you take out the product. So it’s better to assume that “room service, these refrigerators” don’t exist!
Live WSOP Satellites a Potential Gold Mine
You may have carefully planned your 2022 WSOP schedule and know exactly which and how many events your funds will go towards, but trust us when we say that live WSOP satellites are a potential gold mine.
The battlefield is filled with players who don’t have the faintest clues to the best satellite strategy, keeping things relatively simple for them. Also, most satellites don’t award tickets to specific games, but rather lammers. Throughout the series, you’ll always find someone willing to buy lammers from you, that is, if you’re not using them yourself for an event, and for a lot less than you originally planned.
Bring your own refreshments to the competition area
Food and drinks at the WSOP are notoriously expensive; think room service and mini fridge prices. Occasionally buying food and drinks from waitresses is fine, but don’t make it a habit to do this on a regular basis.
I distinctly remember a booth in Rio de Janeiro trying to sell me a banana for $8. You can probably guess where I told the supplier where he could push said bananas! Small bottles of water at $3 to $5 each add up quickly. Buy an empty bottle and fill it with the many fountains around the casino.
Avoid the pitfalls of the streets of Las Vegas
Remember when we said Las Vegas is all about getting a cut of your money? This is especially true from the WSOP to the famous Las Vegas Strip.
Avoid street vendors like the plague; don’t make eye contact, avoid all conversation. They’ll try to sell you tickets to shows, offer VIP passes to clubs and adult entertainment, and even offer bottled water. I wouldn’t say everything they sell is a scam, but most of the time it’s a scam and you’d better use official channels to buy these things. There’s no such thing as a freebie in Las Vegas, and if the offer seems too good to be true, it’s because it’s a scam!
Don’t buy bottled water from anyone on the street as most are unlicensed. Most people will find old bottles and fill them with tap water, then sell them to unsuspecting tourists for a few dollars per person. Sounds disgusting!
Vegas has dozens of epic clubs where you can dance the night away until the sun comes up. It’s all good, but try to avoid paying for bottled service. Sure, it might seem cool to do it in Vegas, but do you really want to spend $300-$500 on a bottle of spirits and probably be forced to buy at least two or three? You’re paying too much for your little rope area. You can use that money to buy another WSOP event!
try to use some common sense
We’re not talking about going to Vegas and living like a saint, but it’s the kind of place where a little common sense can go a long way. In Sin City, it’s easy to get caught up in the moment and forget about caution; we all did it. However, if you’re heading to the 2022 WSOP to make money and try to win the coveted WSOP Gold Bracelet, you’d better save your bankroll and head to Nevada again for the party at a later date.
