Dear Mark: When it comes right down to it, isn't lady
Luck really the deciding factor when it comes to winning
in a casino? Mark L..
Sorry,
Mark, but it isn't Lady Luck nor Jack's Magic Bean
that is the deciding factor when it comes to winning.
It's knowledge of the game you are playing and a solid
grasp of the odds and probabilities that will bring
you success. The smarter you play, the luckier you'll
be is the correct answer here.
As
a bonus, I can also tell you with certainty what
the deciding factor is when it comes to losing:
continuous play.
Because the casino has a built-in house advantage
on each and every game it offers, the more hands
you are dealt per hour, the more dice throws you
see, the more spins on a roulette table, the more
pulls of a handle, the more the built-in casino
advantage chomps away at your bankroll. From a player's
perspective-your perspective, Mark- continuous play
kills in a casino environment.
The elephant in the room for every player is the
casino edge, and you can't beat it to its knees
with a Wiffleball bat. But with a Louisville Slugger,
and by this I mean smart play, you can occasionally
get on base.

Worthy Wagers
I'm new to casino gambling and would like to find
something in the casino that is very easy to play
(where no brains are needed), and the house edge
isn't sky-high. Is it slots, or is there something
else?

Placing A Split Bet Placing a split bet on the 0 and

edge. The casino advantage of 5.26% applies when

Adding Chips To A Winning Number One time Yours Truly had such a hustler on
a game that was graced with the hands of a magician.
He could get chips on or off a table without me
even noticing.
