This is a short list of simple to remember, and easy to follow roulette tips. The fact is, there are no roulette tips that will make you a bundle, but there are some that may keep you from losing one. Tip 1 - Never follow anybody's system. Even reputable names in the online gambling industry recommend you spread your bets around with a 'system' that makes no sense. Umm, ok let me just place the black and third column, so that if I win on one I will most likely lose the other. I'm sure they've convinced a million people to play though, because look at how few numbers could cause you to lose completely! That was sarcasm, subtle, but sarcasm. Spurious logic spouters, never listen to them. Tip 2 - Look hard for a single zero roulette wheel. This will cut the house edge much more than any other option in the game of roulette. Tip 3 - No matter how appealing a new and sexy bet might feel, never bet the five number bet, it has the worst odds on the table. Tip 4 - Search for casinos that offer the surrender rule. This will cut the house edge almost as much as a single zero roulette wheel will, but only on even-money outside bets. Tip 5 - No really, no systems. Tip 6 - Don't spend your time looking for a biased roulette wheel. Although this may have been a valid methodology a couple of decades ago, any casino worth it's chandeliers checks it's own roulette wheels for biases.

The game begins with each player making an 'ante' which is an initial bet. The dealer will deal 3 cards to each player faced down. Then comes the betting round, the options are: -

• Call - If you "call" it means that you do not want to raise anymore and that you have paid enough to stay in the game.
• Raise - If you "raise" then it means that you raise the bet by so much, a table can have a betting limit, but some do not. If you raise say $10, then everyone else on the table has to raise $10 also. If someone has raised before you then you must raise that amount before you raise any further. For instance Bob raised $50 before you, you put $80 in the pot, so therefore you have raised $30, Bob must put in $30 to stay in the game. Bob still may want to raise you even further if he is confident that he has a good enough hand.
• Fold - When you "fold" then you drop out of the game whatsoever. In the case of 3 Card Poker, you will lose your PairPlus bet aswell as your Ante And Up bet.

If you raise you go against the dealers hand, bare in mind that the dealer's hand needs to contain at least 1 queen or above to continue. Below are all the possible outcomes: -• Dealer Doesn't Qualify - 1:1.
• Dealer Qualifies And Player Wins - Both games (PairPlus and Ante And Play) win 1:1.
• Dealer Qualifies And Beats Player - Lose Everything.
• Dealer Qualifies And Player And Dealer Draw - Push.

Also, Ante And Play has a feature like PairPlush that does not depend on the dealers hand, here are the odds: -

• Straight - 1:1.
• Three Of A Kind - 4:1.
• Straight Flush - 5:1.

Card counting is one of the better known ways of beating the house it is also one of the most difficult. The basic premise is that the counter keeps track of what cards have been dealt out of the shoe and uses this information to base his decisions on. Card counting is not as accurate as many people believe, as you do not know what card is going to be dealt next you just keep track on whether the deck is favourable. You can do this by keeping track of the amount of high cards to low cards that have been dealt. So if very few high cards have been dealt in the first half of the shoe then the deck could be described as favourable. High cards are 10's face cards and aces. It is easier to keep track of cards that score ten, as they are the most plentiful cards in the deck. There are three main reasons that decks high in face cards are favourable to the counter and not the casino. Firstly, the higher the proportion of tens and aces in the deck then the higher the likelihood that you can get a blackjack. It is true that the dealer is also more likely to pull a blackjack as well. However when the dealer is dealt a blackjack you lose all your wager when you are dealt a blackjack you win 3 to 2 so you get 150% of your wager and lose only 100%. So if you and the dealer trade blackjacks at the end you will be up. The dealer must draw when he has a 16 or less. He has no choice. When the deck is favourable, he runs a greater risk of busting. You, on the other hand, can alter your strategy to take advantage of favourable conditions. You don't have to take a card when the odds of busting are great because of a favourable deck. With doubling down on 10 and eleven with a favourable deck it is very valuable as the odds of the next card being a ten or ace is quite high which gives you a very high hand at double your initial wager.
