Poker is not my thing. Even though I go swimming pool thrice a week, dunno if u consider it a hobby.

I don't have many hobbies but I'm a big fun of reading books.Newspapers, magazines make be bored((( Sometimes I prefer books than good movie...Other than that I like gym...

Hey Shadow,
What's the trick? I tried a couple of times before. But never have any good luck.

seems interesting discussion that shadow has come up with his own trick at winning at the roulette.

I was mentioning one of my tricks. Not even a trick, it's just an idea I had devised after repeated failures and never got a chance eversince to try my luck. But if anyone's interested, please be my guest. This trick will take a lot of time but surely gonna earn you some rewards.

Let's say the least bet at the table is $15. This trick requires you to play only on a 1:2 ratio, i.e; odd or even, red or black stuff.
For every round double the amount of what you bet on the previous round, preferably keep it the minimum at the table as long as you keep losing, until you win.
Round 1 - You bet $15 and win or lose.
Win: You get $30 and you make a profit of $15.
Lose: You lose $15.
Round 2 - This depends on the outcome of round 1.
outcome of round 1 - winning : You bet $15, the least bet at the table and follow exactly like round 1.
losing: You lost $15 so you'll bet double of what you lost in the previous round, $30. effectively, you are betting $45 including two rounds.
Win: If you win on $15 bet, you get $30 and your profit is $15. If you win on a $30 bet, you get $60 and though your effective betting was $45, your profit is still $15.
Lose: You effectively lose $45.
Round 3 - This depends on outcomes of both round 1 and round 2
outcome of round 2 - winning: you bet $15 again, the least bet at the table and follow exactly like round 1.
losing: you lost $45 so you'll bet double of what you lost in the previous round, $60. effectively, you are betting $105 ( 60 + 30 + 15 ) including three rounds.
win: if you win on $15 bet, you get $30 and your profit is still $15. If you win on $60, you get $120 and though your effective bet was $105, you still make a profit of $15.
lose: You effectively lose $105.

Go on doing this until you get a profit of $15 and immediately drop back to round 1. For every round, when you win, drop back to $15, the minimum at the table and if you lose, double your bet to the previous round and keep betting until you win. The moment you win, drop back immediately to round 1 again.

Somebody try this trick and lemme know how it works.

I am AWESOME and it's gonna be LEGENDARY!!!

I shoot people.

Ummm... with a camera. These days I'm trying to learn Photoshop Elements 7.0. Been trying to move away from an overdose of nature photography, and into architecture photography.

Was wondering: what are the chances of keeping up with a hobby while in b-school?

Until my GMAT studies consumed me, I used to read a lot of economics books written during 16th -19th centuries, along with political treatises. Sounds boring, but I love it. This hobby actually helps for CR and RC.

I also studied Japanese quite seriously for a bit. I went to a language school in Sapporo, Japan and became fairly proficient at the language. I remember walking up to some strangers in a Tokyo bar and striking up a real conversation in Japanese. Fantastic memory. Unfortunately, I haven't had much time to practice lately, so my skills are degrading.

I also like watching House Hunters International. It's fun to see all sorts of cities around the globe.

After graduating and during my first employment, I used to go hiking/camping most of the weekends. Living in a place that boasts mountains with glacier tops, forests, streams of water and lakes, it was almost impossible not to get hooked in that activity. I usually hiked 1 day trips, but many times 2 day trips, and occasionally 3 day trips. It didn't matter the season, I would enjoy hiking even in the winter time (if I was not snowboarding).

I was relocated and had to find another hobbies. The location was not good for outdoor sports, so I surfed the internet every day reading sport news (mainly tennis and football) and other political/economic news.

After getting married I didn't spend so much time over the internet...

The last two years we were again relocated. There are mountains again, but having a small baby, most of the free time is divided between being pooped/peed as mohater described, and studying for gmat/researching bschool programs.

We do go out to the mountains but only by car, almost no hiking anymore, and for few hours, depending on what the needs of the baby are.

In college time I spent a great deal of time doing any kind of sport such as volleyball, football, jogging, tennis, ping pong, mountain bike, water skiing, besides camping, fishing, and other outdoor activities with my friends.

I rarely watch movies or TV. I never owned a TV, so I watch it only in my relative's or friends'. Not interested in poker or card games either. I'm more attracted to computer games, especially sports/strategy.

I Love SOCCER and my fave teams in BARCLAYs league. As well the cheaLsea.
