So besides playing inherently slower games or simply playing less, here are a few ways to get the best odds: This is why good blackjack dealers deal so fast. The more hands you play, the more you are expected to lose. With a 5% House Edge, on average you would have lost $50. If you play 50 hands per hour, after 4 hours at $5 each that’s $1000 in bets. You will most likely bet a lot more than $100 since you will win many hands as well. This does not mean if you walk up the table with a $100 bankroll, you will leave out with $95. This way, you’ll increase your chances of winning the short term, or at least extend the time between ATM visits 🙂Ī 95% expected return, or a House Edge of 5%, is the same as saying that on each bet you are expected only to receive 95 cents out of every dollar you bet. Since I love numbers, I decided to compile some ways to achieve the best odds in a casino. But not all games and bets are created equal.
Of course we all know that the vast majority of games have what is called a “House Edge”, which means that over the long run the casino will be profitable. I’m going to Vegas! I haven’t been in several years, so I wanted to brush on my gambling knowledge.
