35 years of experience in the industry, and knows the gaming business inside
out. Below, he shares some basic information about the games that yield the
best odds for players in the casino; and how players have better chances at
those tables than anywhere else.
Blackjack
Blackjack has one of the best odds in gambling, especially
if the player knows how to count cards. Counting cards is a skill that takes a
lot of mathematical skills as well as quick adding and judgment abilities.
While card counting is not necessarily illegal, it is something that can get
you removed from the casino or simply barred from playing, as incredible card
counting skills will put you at an unfair advantage against the house.
Poker
In poker, and especially the forms of poker in which you
don’t play against the house, are the best way to exercise the most control
over your odds. Poker is a game of posture, deduction and psychology. In order
to be a good poker player, you must be very insightful into the behavioral
patterns of different types of humans and able to make judgments on the spot
that determine whether you should play a hand or not. Also knowing how to
deduct the possibilities of what cards your opponent might have and maintaining
your own composure while doing so are also great strategies that will raise
your odds solely by your ability to perform.
