Message: [QUOTE="TimovieMan, post: 3102649, member: 162441"] Don't play American Roulette (0/00), play European Roulette (single 0). Less edge for the house. There is no single strategy that'll make you win, so the safest bet is going to be "don't play". There is little difference between putting 1$ on all 18 black numbers, and putting 18$ on "black". Forget about the 0. Don't ever bet on that. Consider that the house's edge, and if they hit that, they won. You could consider the Martingale system, but remember that it loses you money even faster due to the increase in bet sizing. Principle is: bet 1$ on red, if you lose bet 2$ on red, if you lose again bet 4$ on red, etc. Double up until you win. Once you win, you will have netted 1$. Rince and repeat. The issue with this is hitting the table maximum or running out of funds to double up, but barring a series of run-bad, this should net you a bit. The game with the lowest house edge will be bacarrat and betting on the house (that's why they only pay 95% instead of 100% because the house actually has an edge). If I was offered 100K for a single bet at a casino, I'd pick that. It's the only one with a chance over 50% of winning. You just don't fully double-up to compensate for it. If they have a blackjack table that only uses a single deck of cards or fewer decks of cards, let you resplit as often as you want, let you double down on any first two cards, where the dealer stands on a soft 17, let you resplit aces, let you hit split aces, if you lose only your original bet vs a dealer blackjack, if blackjack pays 3-to-2 instead of 6-to-5, etc. then the house edge is lower if you play basic strategy. With a single deck, the edge could even be in your favour (if you follow the perfect strategy that is). If not, learn basic strategy by heart, and learn card counting. Blackjack is winnable in the long run. But it takes practice and skill. [url=http://wizardofodds.com/]Read up on everything gambling related here, at the Wizard of Odds.[/url] [/QUOTE]
