Betting Pointers in the Casino

After putting in a good deal of time in the casino and gambling with friends, I have learned that one can always stand to learn a few more things about their style of play, consequently taking their gambling skill to a higher level. In conjunction with steady experience, traits such as discipline and patience (as well as a little Lady Luck) help gamblers to win more often at their game of choice. To help you achieve this, here are some specific tips to put into practice:

1.)Remember the best places to gamble at.
2.)Only gamble at casino games you know.
3.)Always think before you bet...don't ever go on feelings alone.
4.)Bet the maximum when gambling for progressive jackpots.
5.)Learn to spot fair games and how they are different from the rest of the pack.

Let's take a look at the first pointer: "Remember the best gambling destinations". This is pretty self-explanatory, which should shed some light on a fact that not every gambler knows about: Not all casinos are equal. The best way to tell is by first finding out what software the casino uses. Verify the software is credible and has a good reputation with the gambling community. In addition to posting the game payout percentages, the casino should let you see samples of the games, which should have sharp graphics and clean playing screens. Also, take a few moments to contact the casinos customer support. Make sure they get back to you and answer all your questions. The second pointer specifically deals with the casino games you decide to play. Do not think that just because you know the rules of a game means your chances of winning are as good as they can get.

Strategy makes up a big portion of winning, which you try to learn through practice. And even if your casino game of choice cannot be played with a specific strategy, practice anyways. Open a "play for fun" account at the casino, and gamble with pretend money to insure you are familiar with not only the rules of playing, but how to use the software, including the placing of bets and changing stake amounts. When you are familiar with a game, you will be more relaxed and gamble more confidently. The key to the third pointer is to always be aware of your state of mind, as well as your bankroll.

As human beings, it is very easy to get caught in the excitement of a game, and bet money without thinking first. However, this can be very dangerous, and has been the demise of many gamblers. Before starting any betting session, set yourself reasonable winning and losing limits, while remaining disciplined enough to see them through. For as many times as big jackpots are hit, it is in a gamblers best interest to bet the maximum number of coins at a progressive jackpot. Large progressive jackpots do not hit very frequently - but when they do, they are enormous. And you are only eligible to win the full jackpot if you bet the maximum wager. Although you will put more money into the machine, when you hit the progressive jackpot, your return will far exceed your net profit of winning the same spin but with a smaller bet size. Learning to spot fair games as opposed to the not-so-fair, is not a difficult thing to do. With a little insight you won't think twice about which machines are fair and which are not. Video poker machines are a great example of how two identically looking machines can operate at different fairness standards. The way to tell the difference is by looking at the payout schedules.

All casinos are required to openly display what the payouts are for different winning hands in relation to the bet size. One machine may give a payout of 1.5, while another may return 1.6. Always go for the higher payout - it can be the difference between winning and losing. As for casino table games, know the inherent Casino Advantage for each game, as well as the House Rules. In blackjack, sometimes a dealer will have to stand on 16 - other times it may be 17.

Know what rules give the lowest House Edge - and only play those games that do. If you keep these pointers always in mind, practice with patience, and attract a little luck (which we all eventually do), you will find yourself winning more often in the casino, and having more fun the whole time through.
