Many people who gamble in casinos are losers. Not surprising there. This can be witnessed by the multimillion dollar monuments to pleasure which are the nations casinos. They are constructed for starters purpose and one purpose only... that's to separate the unsuspecting casino patron from their money.
Gambling generates more annual revenue than movies, spectator sports, amusement parks, cruise ships and the recorded music industry combined. Based on recent government statistics, casino gambling generates an estimated $40 billion dollars annually.
The part that amazes me is, it's in the same way easy to win at casino gambling as it would be to lose. The casino table games of craps, blackjack and baccarat (and for the most part even-money wagers on roulette) have the best "house percentage" found anywhere offering the player the utmost effective opportunity to win.
But, to be able to win money gambling, first and foremost, requires the intention of winning. Sounds only a little simplistic doesn't it? I constantly hear people tell me, "I visited Caesars Palace or The Sands last week and I only lost $50, $60, $100 or $150." Are you kidding me? It sounds like they went with the intention of losing. It's like they had a predetermined amount inside their mind which they anticipated to lose.
Just The Facts
With the aforementioned mentioned table games, The "house percentage" in craps "line" bets (pass line/don't pass line) without any additional odds bets is 1.41%. In baccarat it is 1.25% on "player" hands and 1.16% on "bank" hands. Playing blackjack, employing a multi-deck "Basic Strategy," the house advantage is non-existent. The casino doesn't have edge over the player whatsoever.
It is my strong belief so it is equally as possible for a knowledgeable player to win at casino gambling as it is for the uninformed player to lose. It has to do with intention.
3 Rules for Winning at Casino Gambling
You can find three simple rules the player needs to follow to become a winner. They are:
1. Make only those bets that reduce steadily the "house percentage" to the best possible amount.
2. Money management... set a strict amount you will wager at each session of play limiting the minimum bet size to only 3 to 5% of that starting bankroll amount. If you happen to get rid of that amount, stop betting and leave the table.
3. Always leave the table when you are winning. You simple cannot make a mistake walking away a winner. Always play to win and not solely for the thrill of the action. In a phrase, self-control.
Playing against such a low house advantage and employing a money management system that delivers sufficient resources, there will inevitably be a time in any session of play when you will soon be in the money.
You can't get worried using what you might have won. You will not win the chandeliers off the ceiling. Those are completely unrealistic expectations. If you always quit winners you'll always have life left to fight another day and much more money with which to complete so.
You can find actual playing and betting strategies for each one of these games that definitely shift the benefit to the player in any reasonably short session of play. Failure to follow this simple strategy is the reason many people lose money when gambling in casinos.
It is a far more enjoyable experience to go back from a trip to the casino successful rather than loser and in the event that you follow these sound principles, you truly can't help but be a winner.
By all means make the most of their elegant rooms, fine dinning, drinks in the lounge or perhaps go see a show. But play intelligently and do all these things on their dime, not yours.
Wishing you the most effective of luck.
