How Casinos Win Your Money

by Chris Wiseman

Most casino games are games of chance where the draw results are simply a probability value among all the possibility. Theoretically, the casino and the players should have the equal chances of winning; but, are you aware that casinos are making most of money from their players and majority of gamblers are losers? What actually make casinos the long term winners and consistently earn the money from their players? The 3 key casino's winning factors are: house edge, maximum limit and psychology factor.

The House Edge

The key factor that helps casinos make a lot of money is the mathematical formula behind it. The mathematical advantage of casino enjoys over the players is known as "the house edge". With the house edge advantage, the casinos are able to calculate their expected revenues, the money that the casinos will surely win from their players in long run. The higher the house edge value in any casino games, the more money will go to the casino. For example, the Sic Bo Big / Small have house edge of 2.78% which means in the long run, the casino will win the 2.78% of the money bet on the Big/Small in Sic Bo game. If you play at game with house edge of 5% versus 2.5%, meaning that you will lose twice as fast as in the second game.

The Maximum Limit

In any casino games, it is very common to have runs of 5, 6 or even 10 consecutive outcomes of black or red, high or low, even or uneven; but it does not happen in any casino in the earth to have 50 consecutive equal outcomes. If you bet on red in roulette and the outcomes are black in the consecutive runs, it will turn into red finally. This mean that if you have sufficient fund to double up your betting using the technique called Martingale, you will finally win back all the money you lose plus one chip. Now you see why casinos want to set a maximum limit in all games. This is to ensure the Martingale techniques does not work even you have sufficient fund to double your betting after every loss. If you apply the Martingale technique, you will finally hit the maximum limit of the table and it stops you from double up your betting. The maximum limit is the winning strategy for casinos.

Psychology Factors

Do you notice that players who win money want to win more? That's why they do not want to leave the table until they lose all their money. Do you also notice that the players who lose money want to win back their money in the shortest time, if possible within a few draws? That's why they are increasing their betting size every time they loss until that lose all their money.

Although all gamblers try to become the smart players, they have their own betting strategies trying to win as much money as possible from the casino. In fact, no one want to lose money to the casino, instead, most of the players want to get rich by winning the money from casino.

In actually fact, their betting strategies may get them win initially, but they become greedy and forget about all their betting strategies that may required them to leave the table after specific number of runs; what they do is continue bets without following their strategies anymore. They will regret about their greedy behavior after they lose all their money. This is the psychology factor that makes the casinos the winners in long runs.

Summary

Casinos are the winners in the long run as they enjoy advantages in term of house edge and maximum limit set for each game. In addition, the psychology behaviors of the casino's players have put advantage to the casino to win the money from their players.

My Personal Roulette Winning System

Author: Sophie Le Cuiche

I came across a lot of winning strategies for the game of Roulette on the internet. Some are good, some are just plain suicide. In order to develop the following winning system, I did a lot of research online and I took a little bit of some of the best tips I found. You are welcome to apply my method that will not make you a millionaire, but it should line up your pockets nicely.

The first thing that you must understand when playing Roulette, is that the ball lands on the numbers randomly. This means that after a 7 for example, you are just as likely to get another 7 as any other number. This is why it is important for you to determine in advance the amount of money you are prepared to lose. If you are not prepared to lose anything, do not ever gamble; there is nothing worse than chasing losses, especially when you get close to the maximum betting limit at a table.

Take small winnings: I already mentioned my method will not make you a millionaire. When a player is on a winning streak, his confidence increases and he usually bets bigger amounts; this is usually when he starts losing. If you decide to stop playing after winning about $2, you are less likely to be affected by this. If $2 is not enough for you, you can always join more online casinos: winning $2 from 10 different casinos each day will make you $20 richer every day.

My method involves dozen betting so you will not be betting on the zeros. If possible, choose the French Roulette game; as there is only one zero, this is a safer game than American Roulette, that has a zero and a double zero. Dozen betting means betting on twelve numbers at a time: 1 to 12, 13 to 24 or 25 to 36 are the three possible dozen bets. You can also choose to bet on columns (left, middle or right) but for some reason I cannot explain, the system seems to work better with dozens.

Before you start betting, wait for the ball to land on a number. If you are playing at an online casino, bet the smallest amount allowed (usually $1) on both colours at the same time. After the ball lands on a number from one dozen, bet $1 on each of the other two dozens. For example, if the number 3 wins (low dozen), bet $1 on the medium dozen (13 to 24) and $1 on the high dozen (25 to 36). Dozen betting pays at odds of 3 to 1 so if you win, your balance will be up by $1, since you will have bet a total of $2. whether you win or lose, repeat the same process, changing the dozens you bet on each time a number from a different dozen wins, until you reach the amount you wanted to win, or until you have bet the maximum amount you were prepared to lose.

It might be difficult to resist the urge of chasing your losses if you do not win at the first spin but don’t be tempted to double your bets just because you lost a little bit. Always bet the same amount, and always bet the two dozens that the ball did not land on previously.

I cannot guarantee that this method or any other will make you win every time; gambling is a risky business and I do not wish to be held accountable for any loss incurred using this system. Anyone wishing to gamble must do so in accordance with the law governing their country and it is the responsibility of the players to make sure they are aware of their country’s gambling regulations.

Martingale Means Bye Bye Bonus

When you play Roulette it is very tempting to use a Martingale system. While you may feel relatively safe using a free bonus, you can lose this bonus very quickly if you don't set up a limit for your betting amounts.

A martingale means that you will start betting on a colour for example, and if you lose you will have to double your bet in order to try and recover your losses, as betting on a color pays 2:1.

Let's say you have a $200 free bonus and you decide to bet on red at the Roulette game; start betting the minimum, let's say $1. If you hit a streak of bad luck, just watch how you can crash and burn very quickly:
Bet $1, lose. Bet $2, lose. Bet $4, lose. Bet $8, lose. Bet $16, lose. Bet $32, lose. Bet $64, lose. So far, you have lost $127, so I will advise you to stop right now before you start betting with your own money. If you want to play again, you will need to bet $128. If you are still unlucky, you will have lost $55 of your own hard-earned money.

If you are not familiar with the Roulette Casino game, you may think it is very improbable to have the same colour coming up eight times or more: believe me, it does happen quite often; usually when a player feels very confident after a few wins, the tables start to turn on him and the same colour can come up 20, 25, 30 or even more consecutive times!

Betting on colours is mostly used by beginners who haven't yet mastered all the different methods of Roulette betting. There are a few good winning systems you can use when playing online casino Roulette but even though these are safer than betting on one colour using a Martingale system, these are not infaillible either and must be used with great care. I will talk about these in more detail in my later posts.
