Keno players have to make the decision when they start to play, between choosing a small number of number, and choosing a large number of numbers. The sharp mind is going to notice that the odds have to change with the number of numbers the player pick? If you pick just two numbers, isn't there a better chance of hitting 100% of those numbers than if you had picked 10? In actuality yes, but as payouts fluctuate with the number of numbers picked, the casinos compensate for any weak mathematics. You don't get paid nearly as well for hitting all of your 3 numbers, as you would had you hit all of your 10 numbers. Keno really isn't for gamblers who like to win a bit at a time and build up their winnings, but rather for the players seeking some entertainment, and hoping to get lucky and strike it rich in one bet. If you're looking for a more consistent (but smaller wins) moneymaker, I would suggest blackjack or craps. Sure enough, the games that have the highest house edge are usually the most amusing because they offer more action for you dollar, but less frequent chances for a win. So, if I haven't answered your questions pertaining to a keno strategy, follow this: enjoy yourself to get the most out of your dollar.

The Martingdale is usually the first choice of a novice gambler. It sounds perfect, wait until a table result is statistically due, then launch a wagering series. If you lose, double your bet. Lose again, keep doubling. Given time, the odds will be so heavily in your favour, that you'll have to win. Hold on. Not so fast. Do you recall the table I told you about when an even money proposition didn't show up for seventeen spins? Do you know how much it would cost to finance a series of eighteen bets that double each time? Assuming that you start at the $5 level, your eighteenth bet (which would net a $5 profit would cost you $655,360. Financing those bets would cost you over a million dollars. But it's a moot point, because you would never get a waiver against the house maximum in the midst of all that. And that point would be reached about half way through the series.

Black

This is when you bet that the ball will land on a black-colored number. Again,the payoff for such a bet is 1 to 1. If you place $20 in bets on a black colorednumber and the ball lands on black, you win your original bet back, plusan additional $20.

Odd

When you bet that the ball will land on an odd number. The payoff for this bet is 1 to 1. So if you put $25 on the "Odd" square and the number that landsis an odd number, you will $25, plus your original stake back.

Even

The opposite of the odd number bet. You are betting that the next number to land is an odd number. Again, the payoff for such a bet is even money, or 1 to 1.So a $50 bet would return $50, plus your original bet back if you won.

High Bet

This is when you are betting that one of the numbers, 19-36, will land on thenext spin of the wheel. Payoff for this bet is even money, or 1 to 1.

Low Bet

This is when you bet that one of the numbers 1-18 will land on the next spin of the wheel. Again, payoff for this bet is even money. So if you bet $100 on theLow Bet, and any number through 1-18 hits, you will win $100, plus your original$100 betback.

Dozen Bet

This is betting that one of a particular dozen numbers hits on the next spin of the wheel.The wheel is divided into 3 different "dozen" groups; 1-12, 3-24, and 25-36. The payofffor such a bet is 2 to 1. So, let's say that you think the next spin of thewheel willland on a number from 1-12. You place a $20 bet on the 1st dozen, and the wheel landson 7. That means you win $40, plus your original $20 bet back.

Column Bet

Similar to the dozen bet in terms of payoff and number of potential winning numbers,except you are betting on one of the numbers in a particular column payingoff, rather than one of a dozen numbers. You will notice at the end of the table, there is space denoted to make a column bet. There are three columns of numbers, thetop, middle and bottom column.
