5 Tips On How To Elude Losing In A Casino

Of course we all want to win big money when we play in the casino! And, even if we do not win big, we also do not want to come home poorer than when we went to play. We are out to have fun, and it is never fun losing in games. What sore losers we are, and proud of it!

So how do you avoid losing money when playing in a casino?

1) Don’t let all of the sights and sounds of the casino throw you off. It’s easy to be distracted or dazzled by the casino setting and many find themselves feeling a little wealthier than they should and losing more than they can afford as a result.

Second, know this fact: most, if not all games in casinos will have odds in favor of the house. Ever heard of the saying ?the house always wins?? It is very true. Try reading literature to find out which games have the better odds. The house edge or the percent of chances the house will win over you are never fair. Besides, even if you do win, the house still gets a percentage of your winnings.

3) This is really the most important of these five rules: quit while you’re still ahead. A lot of people get caught up in the excitement of casino gaming and will keep playing even when they start losing. The best thing to do is to limit the amount of time you spend playing any single game.

Fourth rule is: do not even dream of ?breaking the bank.? Movies may have romanticized the notion of winning big time in the casino, but that is just in the movies. If you keep on trying to beat the house, you will end up losing more money, or making the casino owners richer.

5) Only play casino games when you understand their rules. Even though the odds are never going to be in your favor, you can maximize your chances of winning by playing games where the odds are only slanted in the house’s favor by 3% or less, as professional gamers recommend. Some examples of these games are French Roulette, craps and blackjack.

Note: with blackjack, you can literally turn the odds around, making the house lose all of it advantages. But, you can only do this if you really do your homework on the game.

The worst odd that you can have are with the games of Big Six Wheel and Wheel of Fortune. The odds on the house winning in these games are placed at up to 24 percent.

Therefore, the only way for you to avoid losing money in the casinos is by learning about it very well. Always understand something before you start engaging in it, as they say. Additionally, keep your disciplined self ruling so that you do not make a fool out of yourself by getting too engrossed in any particular game.

Future Book Betting Pitfalls And How To Avoid Them

November 9, 2009 by Ross Everett · Leave a Comment

Betting on sports ‘futures’ is an enjoyable and potentially profitable way to wager, but there are several potential risks that can lead to losses. Here’s a rundown of things to avoid:

Don’t bet at the first place you look: In other words, shop around for the best price. This is essential to all aspects of sports betting, but especially important with futures wagers. You’ll find more disparity between prices from book to book on futures than any other betting proposition. From a theoretical standpoint, a little work can yield much better value. From a practical standpoint, that means a higher payout should you win. The reason for this is that individual sportsbooks’ aren’t as worried about what the other guys are doing as they are with most other bets. Once the futures “market” is set books move the lines almost exclusively on their own financial position. The market simply doesn’t respond as quickly to futures wagers as it does to individual game lines so it is essential to do the extra work to get the best price on your proposition.

In a competitive field, don’t obsess with picking the winner: This may sound like a strange concept, but once you understand the theory behind it it makes perfect sense. In a large field–the NCAA basketball tournament is a perfect example–the top few favorites are invariably priced at odds that are less than the ‘true odds’ of them winning. On the other hand, there are always teams that fly ‘under the radar’ available at higher prices that present a betting overlay.

To put this in more theoretical terms, the “true odds” of Duke winning the NCAA Championship are almost certainly higher than the price we’re getting. Obviously, determining the “true odds”, or actual probability of a future event is an inexact science but think of it this way: if the NCAA tournament was played 100 times would Duke wind up winning 50 of those? Given the number of other good teams and the propensity for upsets along the way, its doubtful. For the sake of argument, lets say that Duke has a 33% chance to win the tournament. That means that I wouldn’t consider a bet on Duke to be a good value unless I was getting a price that a) accurately reflected the true probability of their winning and b) gave me some compensation for assuming the “risk of the unknown” inherent in taking the position so far in advance. At +500 I might be interested, but at +200 the value just isn’t there.

Note that the more competitive the market, the more difficult it is to find good value on the favorites. Since you can make a case for quite a few teams to win the NCAA tournament at this point this particular futures market is clearly a very competitive one. In a less competitive marketplace it might be possible to “pick the winner” and have it be a good value though you will pay a price for this. Here’s a (thankfully) hypothetical example: let’s say the UFC decided to hold a one night round robin tournament with 5 competitors. Competitor #1 would be heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar. The other four competitors would be professional figure skaters Elvis Stojko, Rudy Gallindo, Brian Boitano and Evgeni Plushinko. Even if he didn’t bring his “A game”, Lesnar would be essentially have a 100% certainty of beating the four untrained fighters, who also happen to be rather effeminate. If a sportsbook installed Lesnar as a -1000 favorite a bet on the 63 265 pound takedown would still be theoretically a good value. It’s always difficult to risk so much to win a little, but from a strictly theoretical standpoint its a good play.

Don’t get seduced by big underdogs: Sports betting is not a place to make the “big killing”. It may happen occasionally, but more often it doesn’t. While a sports book might offer a huge price on a cellar dwelling team to win the World Series, the big payback does not mean its a good value. On a practical level, there’s probably nothing wrong with throwing a few bucks on a wager like this with a huge payback if the impossible occurs. My only problem with this is that making too many bets like this just perpetuates bad sports betting habits. If you’re strictly a recreational player, no big deal. If you aspire to bet professionally, or at least want to pursue it with some degree of seriousness I’ve always maintained that you need to develop discipline that’s not situational. In other words, if you want to be a serious sports bettor you need to approach it with a consistent level of seriousness at all times. If you want to chase a huge, life altering jackpot go to Las Vegas and play the Megabucks slots or buy a Powerball ticket.

On a more theoretical level, a big price alone is no way to justify a wager. The concept of value works the same at the bottom of the barrel as it does at the top: make sure the price you’re getting on an underdog accurately reflects their “true odds” of winning.

Don’t waste your money on ridiculous prop bets: Occasionally sports books offer ridiculous bets to get press or to be funny. For example, a book once offered odds on Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher and Bruce Willis all hopping into bed together and releasing a video tape of the proceedings. You’d no doubt get a huge payback were this to happen, but the ‘true odds’ of such an event transpiring far exceeded even a big potential payback.

Ratings Based Racing: What It Means At The Track

October 8, 2009 by David Gately · Leave a Comment

Finding winners in the horse racing game is never easy and has actually become more tricky with the implementation of ‘ratings-based racing’ over the last 18 months. Ratings based racing is forcing punters to look more closely at weights and measures in lining these gallopers up.

So what are ratings-based races? Basically each horse is given a “rating” which is updated after every start they have. A horse cannot run in a race which is rated under their level. For example, if their rating is 69 then they cannot run in a 68RB (Ratings-Based) race, where as they can race in a 70RB (or higher obviously).

It seems obvious from feedback within the racing industry that RBH (Ratings-Based Handicapping) has been very well accepted. In fact, a survey of trainers/owners etc showed 86% were happy with the system, this overwhelming support (and of course the fact field sizes and therefore turnover is increased) will ensure this system remains in Victoria for some time.

Statistics in racing are everywhere but there is one website with unprecedented strike-rates and that is OzRacingForm.com which is run and operated by David Gately. He can boast a near 85% strike-rate in his top-rated runners in both Melbourne and Sydney. (broken down, that means he finds the winner of the race in his top-five selections on or near 85% of the time) We asked how his strike-rate remains at such a level of such a long period of time. David says: “I think people can over complicate and over evaluate races, it is quite rare that there are more than four or five ‘winning chances’ in a race and that’s where we draw the line. Ok, they are animals and not motorbikes so there are always strange results on occasions, but we stick to a basic formula, bet to value runners, and enjoy a good deal of success”.

Racehorses can fluctuate their form just like human athletes can. Unfortunately though, racehorses cannot talk. So we, as punters, are required to recognise signals and signs from horses at either their previous run, or pre-race, that indicate what stage physically and mentally they are at, in order to find a winner. For example, a horse charges home in a slowly run race early in it’s preparation, this sends off obvious warning signs it is ready to win and may even be looking for extra distance. Another example might be if a horse leads, but is ‘taken on’ by other horses and given little peace. He may well fail in that particular race but then find a softer run up or near the lead at his next start and come out and win, at some value!

Finding value runners is always the way professional punters have operated, there are many favourites that run that have little hope of actually winning. These horse’s are referred to as “unders” (under their true odds of winning) and when identified can set you up for a nice collect if you can work around them in betting. How do we identify such ‘unders’? Well, it gets back to knowing each horse and his/her particular likes and dislikes. David Gately from OzRacingForm.com thinks this is rule No.1. He explains: “Look, knowing a horse’s capabilities, his likes or dislikes, his personality if you like, are keys to having half this battle (of finding value runners/winners) won”.

I hope this helps you on your next outing, good luck and see you at the track
