38. How much money
should you bring to a casino?
Always bring enough money to last you for the amount
of time you want to play. As a rule of thumb for
every session of blackjack have at least 40 times
your bet. If you are a five-dollar bettor then have
$200. For craps, always have 10 times your bet spread.
If you are up on three numbers at the height of
your betting, then have 10 times the amount of the
three combined wagers. In roulette and all other
games, use the blackjack formula. Bring enough money
to play all the sessions you plan to play. So the
five-dollar bettor in blackjack who wants to play
six sessions in two days should bring $1,200. Never
use a win -- or any leftover money -- from one session
in another session. Put it away. This will almost
guarantee that you will go home with some money.
Nothing feels worse than getting wiped out.
39. What about hedging
bets at craps? Like betting an Any Seven on the
come-out to protect against the seven showing?
Not a good idea. Every bet can and must be figured
independently. You will lose more money if you bet
Any Seven on every come-out roll than you will save
by attempting to protect your pass line bet on the
come-out.
