Winning Roulette by Beating the Game

The game of roulette is one of the most popular casino games. Beating the roulette dealer is all about mathematics and taking the time to notice the patterns of the wheel.

The Pivot System

The player using the pivot system of winning at roulette will need to take note of all the winning numbers hitting the roulette wheel. The player is looking for the first number that repeats in the series of winners. The repeating number is called the pivot.

An example of a winning number sequence may be 12, 15, 17, 20, 22, 12. The number 12 is now the pivot number and the number the player will bet on the wheel.

Now, bet the number 12 for 36 consecutive shots until that number hits the roulette wheel. Bet the same amount in each shot in order to maximize the chance of an end profit. Choosing the correct number on a roulette wheel pays out 35:1 odds, so if the pivot hits inside those 36 shots you get profit. If the number 12 hits on the final 36th bet, you will break even and can start searching for the next pivot number. Beating the game of roulette is all about making money and the earlier that pivot number hits the more money you will make. When you get a hit on the pivot number, do not bet the pivot again. Select another pivot or change table and begin the entire process again to win at the elusive game of roulette.

Why you can win with this system of casino roulette? It is a fact that the numbers on a roulette wheel tend to recur frequently. On average, only 24 of the numbers will be unique out of 37 rolls of the roulette wheel. Very rarely (if it ever comes to pass) will 37 rolls result in 37 different numbers. This method of winning roulette is based on the “law or system of unequal distribution.” During small periods of 37 roulette spins, not all the numbers appear, but during periods of millions of spins all the numbers appear the same amount of times. The next time you are in a casino, try this method and see if you can become a roulette winner.

Austrian System Roulette

Another way to beat the game of roulette is with the Austrian system. In order to use this method of beating the roulette wheel, the player will need to memorize the spots on the roulette table where the chips will be placed. The idea is to cover as many numbers as possible with the least amount of chips. The player will place 6 chips on the first column and 6 chips on the third column. Additional chips will be placed between the numbers 0 and 00, in American roulette, 8 and 11, 17 and 20 and 26 and 29.

Each time the ball lands in one of the 32 numbers on the roulette wheel, the player will be a winner with 2 of the chips on the board. The effectiveness of this system is 85%. This means the player will win 85% of their bets and turn a profit and profit is essentially beating the game of roulette.

You might ask, “But how can it happen? If I lose, there will be 16 chips in the trash. ” Mathematically, the loser will only lose all chips about 15% of the time. Every other hand is a sure winner and that means yo have just beat the game of roulette.

Casino games are all about money. The more money you win, the better the stories the player will have to tell about beating the game of roulette.

Blackjack Strategies to Beat Blackjack

There isn’t any hard fast rule to beating Blackjack. If there were, everyone would be doing it and Vegas would be broke. But there are a few tips and strategic guidlines that can give you the edge you need to go home a winner. These tips are not by any means rules, nor should they be treated as such. Blackjack is a game of odds, there is no ’surefire’ way to win, but the following will help.

The first problem the player often has is the need to hit 21 on every hand. This is not the games focus. The game of blackjack will be more profitable to the player if they focus on beating the dealer rather than the odds. The elusive 21 is a great gift from the card Gods, but the dealers hand should be the primary focus.

The dealer follows the same rules during every game of blackjack. The dealer will hit on a soft 17 (A, 7) and any hand lower than that. You can rest assured that no matter what the top card value is, if the total is soft 17 or less, the dealer will hit the hand.

When the dealer is holding a 10 or a face card as the bottom card and a 6, 5, or 4 as the top card, they will be forced to hit the hand. This hand value is more likely to end in a bust for the dealer since every number from 7 and higher will bust the total allowed of 21. When all cards are taken into account, there is a 45% chance the dealer will have to draw a card that will not bust the hand and a 30% chance that no second card will need to be drawn.

If the dealer is showing a 7, 8, 9, 10 or a face card you will instantly know what the face down card value is. If the dealer takes a card the value must be 7 or below. If the dealer does not take a card, he has a hard 17 and you will need to fight or fold. If your hand values a 15 or higher, you must take the loss. If you have is valued at a 14 or lower, hit the hand and hope for a card to beat the dealer.

If the dealer is showing a two or a three, Blackjack rules force him to take at least one more card. In this case he has a better chance of hitting 18 through 21, though not higher than 50%. But he only has a 30% chance to bust and a 20% chance of needing drawing 2 cards. In this instance it is again in your best interest to hit on 15 or below.

The only surefire way to win at the game of Blackjack is to quit while ahead. The more greedy the player is the more apt they will be to walk away a loser, rather than a winner. The more you push the hand the better the chances that the house will take back the winnings from the player.

Greed is the number one reason why people lose at the game of blackjack. The game of blackjack is all about odds and simple math.

Yes, You Can Win at Craps

When it comes to casino games, craps is the rollercoaster. When a dice thrower is hitting the numbers on a hot streak, the players around him or her are instantly a part of this great excitement. Pair that with the fact that craps can be one of the most profitable games in the casino and the popularity grows. The house edge for the game of craps is a mere 1.4%.

The soon-to-be discussed craps tips will show the player how to maintain that small edge and even how to reduce that edge. Beating the game is not impossible. Beating the game, even with solid craps tips, can still be difficult because the house is relentless and must win in the long run. So one very important tip for the player is to not play for the long run. He must have enough self-control and a feel for the game, such that he rides and presses during a hot streak and backs off when the dice get cold.

There are four traditional bets in the game of craps. These bets are pass, don’t pass, come and don’t come. Players who bet pass and come are said to be betting the “right” way. Players who bet don’t pass and don’t come are said to be betting the “wrong” way since they are essentially betting against the player throwing the dice.

When a player bets the “wrong” way, the houses edge is reduced. While the social advantage of betting “right” may be thrown away with the bet, the player may win more money in the short run. Betting don’t pass or don’t come requires leaving the bet down for more than one roll to optimize the amount of money won.

Betting “free” bets, “odd” bets and “behind the line” bets are another way to beat the game of craps. The “free” bets reduce the house edge of winning to only 1% which makes these bets one of the most popular in the game of craps. When a player places $10 on the pass line with the shooter betting 4, another bet can be placed for $10 behind the line. If the shooter hits the four, the player will win back the bet amount plus the 2/1 odds, or true odds amount. The true odds for the points bets are 4,10 paying 2/1, 5, 9 paying 3/2 and 6,8 paying 6/5.

The best way to take advantage of this betting strategy is to bet in $10 increments. This style of betting will work perfectly with players utilizing the don’t pass, don’t come style of play.

Another important tip for the game of craps is the 6, 8 bet. If the player bets on the 6 or the 8 the house has an edge of 1.5% and the bet pays off at 7/6 odds with a winning throw. Betting on the 6 or the 8 needs to be a sole strategy. Any other side bets will decrease the players chance of beating the house.

If beating the game is your goal, stick to the craps tips described here. Further, to minimize the risk of being victimized by the “long run”, press your play when hot or when the shooter is hot, and back off when things get cold. The latter tip is the toughest one to follow and will make or break you as a player.
