Taking Care of Yourself
While at The Casino

I'm sure we all know the feeling - that this one last go will win you back all your money, that you're on a streak you can't possibly lose out on... It's common, but unfortunately if you're in the middle of Vegas, there's a chance that's happening inside someone's head roughly every thirty seconds. Responsible gamblers are often the ones that walk away with their bank balances looking healthier than they did when they walked in, or at least not as unhealthy as some.

First off, if you're taking a card into the casino - and often that's a lot easier, especially if you're on holiday and don't want to leave it in the hotel room - make sure you're using a card with a limit, preferably one with a set amount of money on it that has no link whatsoever to your main bank account. That way, when you're done - you're done. This works well with all casinos, from luxury joints in Vegas right the way home to the games at http://www.partycasino.com/  sitting on your laptop.

Also, make sure - you'd be surprised how often people get this wrong - that you're not too far down your glass when it comes to booze. Booze and other mentality-influencing consumables will increase your self-confidence to a degree of near-recklessness, and you're likely to call some incredible bluffs, or go all in with a low pair. Make sure you've got wing-people on the lookout for you, and try not to go gambling by yourself - the losses hurt less when...   read on

      "Ms. Craps" to You. 
 by Marsha Hunt Flanders © 2010.

On May 23, 2009, Patricia Demauro, a grandma from New Jersey beat trillion-to-one odds by throwing a 4 hour, 18 minute lucky streak at the Borgata in Atlantic City.  With only a $100. buy-in, Patricia rolled 154 times before crapping out.  The hotel broke out the champagne after her stupendous feat.  Demauro eclipsed the former record of an Hawaiian man named Fujitake back in 1989.  It is unknown how much money she made during the roll, but you can well imaging the side bettors had a field day.  read on

Roulette Wheel Bias

by Jake Earl

It is the dream of every gambler to have a system; a system that allows him to take a casino for a considerable amount of money.  For some people, it was no dream…

Albert R. Hibbs was a noted mathematician.  In 1949, he and fellow graduate student Roy Walford, took time away from school and went to Nevada.  Their aim was to study the roulette wheel bias of Las Vegas and Reno casinos, then exploit that mathematical “edge” and win big.  They were said to have made over $42,000. in their schemes.   The idea of a biased wheel is not new.

 Card Counters
Catch a Break

It is the business of all casinos to take your money,
and generally, they do it very well.

The big casinos supply free drinks, reduced (or free) room rates, show tickets, etc., to entice the player to continue to gamble.  The obvious reason is the house edge, which varies greatly from game to game.  The house edge is the reason Steve Wynn can build another casino; why The Bellagio can change their carpet every year; and why Indians learn the casino business so quickly.  Casinos make money.Yet in this universe of “We ‘gotcha.” there lies a precious few methods in which the player can turn the cards to his advantage.    read on
