Bet Numbers Chips
Remember, what we said in our introduction to Roulette, there is no beginning or end to a casino game. Casinos want you to play forever because, in the long run, they have the advantage. It is up to you to set up the criteria to make the game a real game with achievable goals and distinct rules on when the game is done. With measurable objectives, you will be able to track your results better and decide whether your strategy is working. With this feedback, you can adjust your strategy to optimize your gain when you are winning. So, here are some guidelines to use in preparing for your next gambling adventure: 1. Favorable rules for the player: a. Early Surrender: allows you to give up or surrender one half of your bet before the dealer looks at his hole card and you've taken a hit. Good for situations like your 15 or 16 versus the dealer's exposed 10.'b. Late Surrender: a variation of the above. Allows you to surrender one-halfof your bet after the you have taken one card or more, prior to the dealer exposinghis/her hole card.c. Blackjack paid at 2-1: reduces the casino's edge by 2.2%. Not commonly found.d. Double after split (DAS): commonly applied rule variation that is very helpfulto players.e. Dealer stands on soft 17: only a .2% help for the player, but good nonetheless.f. Resplit of Aces: allows you to save a split ace hand by splitting again. Thissame applies to other splits as well. 2. Some Helpful Hints a. Never split 5's.b. Always split 8s and Aces.c. Always double on 11 except when the dealer shows an Ace.d. Never take insurance.e. Never hit your hand when you have a total more than 13 and the dealer is showing2-6.f. Never stand when you have a soft 12-17.g. Always hit your hand if you have a 12-16 and the dealer is showing 7-Ace.h. Never play when you aren't in the best frame of mind.i. Never play when you have had too much to drink.j. Never bet to impress others.k. Never risk your entire bankroll.l. Never chase your losses with larger bets.m. Only play in times and places you feel comfortable. -Blackjack Most people assume that playing Blackjack is all about scoring 21. This is not the case when playing in a casino. Your only objective is to beat the dealer, it doesn't matter whether you hand is worth 21 or 12, as long as you win. All wins pay evens except Blackjack, which pays 3/2 (1.5:1) Your main weapon is the fact that, in most casino rules, the dealer must hit on 16 or below and the dealer must stand on 17 or above. Armed with this knowledge it is possible to formulate a strategy based the value of the dealer's open card. Let's use an example: You have been dealt an 8 and a 5. The dealer's open card is a 5. You may think that a hand of 13 is no good to you but you'd be wrong! Don't forget that the dealer must hit on all scores of 16 or less and 16 is now the maximum score the dealer can have. You stand, the dealer turns over his card to reveal a 10. He has a hand worth 15, normally enough to beat you but because of the casino rules, he has to hit. He hits and draws a 10, he busts and you win with a hand worth 13. Played properly, Blackjack can realise very high percentage returns. -The idea behind roulette is a simple one there is however the complications arrive in the betting as there are several different ways to do it however the less the chance of the ball landing there the higher the payout. In a casino the chips are different to other games and each player has their own unique colour chips this stops any confusion about which bets are whose. The chips are normally received and cashed in at the roulette table. Types of bets
Outside bets are made on the betting area on the roulette table bordering the layout. Different tables have slightly different layouts for outside betting, you just find the location for the bet you want to make and place your chip there.
