I want to help you win more often when you gamble in casinos. While this is a tall order, because most casino gamblers lose, there are some strategies that help you win.
This article includes 6 strategies that winning casino gamblers are using. All you have to do is learn more about these 6 strategies in this article and start using them.
None of these winning casino strategies are too hard. In fact, you can learn how to use each of them in just a few minutes. Learn how to do this as you read this article.
1 – Always Use Strategy or Don’t Gamble
The first key to learning how to win when you gamble in a casino is to understand what strategy is and how to use it.
You need to follow a couple simple rules when you gamble in casinos.
The first rule is to never play a casino game if you’re not using strategy. If a casino game doesn’t have a strategy that you can use, you simply refuse to play it.
The second rule is that you need to always use the best available strategy when you play a casino game. Not all strategies are equal, so you need to know what the best strategy is and use it at all time.
For Example:
One video poker strategy is to always keep cards that give you the best chance to get a royal flush. The problem with this strategy is that it’s not as profitable as using the strategy based on maximizing your returns.
The play that maximizes your video poker returns isn’t always the same as shooting for a royal flush on every hand.
Each casino game that has a strategy can be played using the strategy to get better results than when you don’t use strategy. The games that don’t have a strategy are the ones that do the most damage to your bankroll.
2 – Use the Rules for Your Advantage
Every casino game has a set of rules. And many casino games have various sets of rules. For example, a video poker game, like Jacks or Better, is available with many different pay tables. To get the highest rate of return you have to play with the best pay table.
Roulette tables all play basically the same, but some tables are much better than others based on the number of spaces. A roulette table with 37 spaces is much better than a table with 38 spaces. And a roulette table that uses French rule sis twice as good as a table that doesn’t.
I’m going to go over blackjack in another section, but real money blackjack is a casino game where the rules are more important than most other casino games. In fact, a blackjack table with the best set of rules can be played using strategy at close to a break even rate.
Once you pick the casino game or games that have strategies that you can use, spend some time learning everything there is to know about the rules for each game. Find the casino games with the best set of rules and use the best strategy.
3 – Never Play These Casino Games
The fact is that most games in casinos are bad. They’re bad for your bankroll and they should never be played. Yet most gamblers still play these games.
By the end of this section you’re going to know the worst games in the casino so you can avoid playing them.
The bad news is the list of casino games that you should avoid is long. This list is based on the availability of using strategy, the availability of games with good rules, and the house edge that you’re fighting in each game.
- Slots – Slots are popular, but they also have a higher edge for the casino than most casino games.
- Keno – Keno is the worst game in the casino. It has the highest edge.
- Roulette – French rules roulette is decent, but you can get a lower edge playing baccarat or blackjack.
- Craps – A few craps wagers have a low house edge, but blackjack and some video poker games are still better.
- 3 Card Poker – You can use strategy with this game, but it doesn’t lower the edge enough.
- Caribbean Stud Poker – A simple strategy is available, but even when you use it you’re fighting a high edge.
- Let It Ride Poker – You can use a simple strategy, but the house edge is still too high.
4 – Blackjack Is the Best Casino Game
In the end there’s only one casino game that I recommend. I’m going to explain why blackjack is the only game you should be playing in a casino, and what you need to do to win when you play.
You can play baccarat and some video poker games with a low casino edge. But none of these games is quite as good as blackjack. If you just use good blackjack strategy and play at tables with good rule sets you can play with a casino edge of .4% or under.
And once you learn how to do this you can add a counting strategy to start winning.
I’m going to share a couple secrets that the casinos don’t want you to know. The first secret is that counting is not illegal. The casinos don’t want you to do it, but it’s not against the law.
The second secret is that counting isn’t that hard. It looks difficult at first, but anyone can learn how to count cards in 10 hours or less. You might need to invest more time to get good at counting, but if you simply spend 10 hours you can learn everything you need to know about counting.
My suggestion is to forget about all of the other games in the casino and focus 100% of your energy on blackjack.
5 – Free Rolls, Free Comps, Free Play
This is a strategy that most smart gamblers use when they play in casinos. This strategy works whether you play in an online casino, in a mobile casino, or in a land based casino. And this is a simple strategy that anyone can use.
The strategy is to get as much as you can from the casino for free. Most gamblers know about comps schemes, and these are a good place to start. But there are other free things you can get from casinos as well.
Everything that you can get for free from casinos helps offset the money that you lose. And if you’re playing a game that you can win, like blackjack, the free things you can get just help add to your profits.
Look for free coupons, free game play, free chips, and entry into free events. Don’t forget to sign up for the comps scheme, and don’t be afraid to ask for more. It doesn’t hurt you to ask for more from the casino. The worst thing that can happen is that the casino says no.
6 – Using Online and Mobile Bonus Schemes
This subject is a little tricky, but it’s something that smart casino gamblers can use. The reason why it’s tricky is because most casino bonuses are bad.
I know that they look good. It looks like you can get $100’s or $1,000’s in free money, but this isn’t exactly what you get. Instead of free money, you get a list of things that you have to do that almost always end up with you losing all of your money.
When you accept a casino bonus you agree to the terms. And the terms tell you how much you have to play before the bonus clears. When you have to risk a lot the odds are high that you’re going to lose money. When you don’t have to risk as much, you have a better chance to win.
The only way to tell the difference between a good and bad casino bonus is by reading the terms. Instead of looking for the bonuses that offer the highest amount, start looking for the bonuses that have the lowest clearing terms.
Conclusion
If you’re going to gamble in casinos you have to start using strategy. This is so important that if you don’t use strategy when you gamble, you shouldn’t gamble at all. The good news is that learning how to use casino game strategy isn’t as hard as most gamblers think.
The next step is to learn how to use casino game rules to your advantage. Most casino rules are designed to hurt you bankroll, but a few can help you win.
The best casino game is blackjack, and most other casino games are so bad that you should avoid them at all times.
