The dice table offers many different bets. Some are good bets and some should never be made. The ones to avoid are the Big Six or Big Eight and the Field Bets. The reason these are bad bets is the payoffs are terrible because they are too low. The better wager for six or eight is the place bet on the table. The field numbers should be made as place bets and on the individual numbers if the feeling is super strong that they are going to roll. If your hunches are creditable, then bet the numbers and forget the basket of number bets.

If you make a come out bet and get a number, make sure to bet the odds behind the number and also on all come bets after the come out number has been rolled. This is the best way to make a killing if the table turns red hot. Like all forms of gaming, the trends take over and when a trend becomes exceptionally strong like is seen on dice tables from time to time, placing bets on numbers and taking the odds is the only way to play this game correctly. More players should learn how to play craps the right way as it can be played in such a way to cut the house odds to a very small percentage against the players.

There are players that never will bet the craps numbers or the eleven or twelve. Most of the time they are losing bets, but they all pay substantial odds. My idea of this bet is pick a time when you have a strong feeling it is going to come a roll of eleven or twelve. Bet it three or four times in a row. If it misses these wagers, stop the betting. If it hits; double the bet. I have been on the eleven/twelve bet starting with a $25 dollar chip and seen it roll four times in a row, with my bet doubling each time. The amount of money you will win will depend on the roll.
Elevens pay 15 to 1 and twelves pay 30 to 1. As you can see this is a deadly bet when it hits. Over my lifetime of gambling I have made this bet many times on a hunch and been lucky enough to get the first roll and many times the second or third winner. The four in a row has happened several times and the fifth roll had the pit boss holding his breath when the first die came to rest a six and the other was still spinning. Believe me that spin seemed to go on forever until the die came to rest a number that was not a five of a six. The real pleasure was cashing out after a hit like that and not giving any of the winnings back.

Roulette or the game of the devil, has many systems that claim to be a winner. The reference to the devil is the fact that the 36 numbers in the game add up to 666. Lets start from the proven fact; there is no system that guarantees a win in this game. These systems that are sold on the Net are nothing but scams if they claim to guarantee a win. This system does not exist.

However there are playing strategies that have a reasonable idea of a way to play that may turn a profit. A friend of this writer plays this system all the time at roulette whether online or in a live game. He keeps track of the numbers as they come up. If there are 15 numbers in a row that are not matched, then the first new number from that group is bet for the next 15 plays. The idea my friend swears too is that this number will repeat quite often. If it does, the payoff covers the losing bets. A small progressive bet may be played also. At 35 to 1 this bet is an intriguing idea. Do not ever become enamored by any betting system in this game. Set a loss limit total and if it is hit quit for a period of time. Keeping losses under control is the only way to live to play another day.

Systems to avoid are any that require a continuous increase in the wagered amount. This is a formula for disaster in the long run. For example, lets say that a red number came up five spins in a row. Some players will swear that they make money by starting a progressive bet on black when this situation presents itself. This wager is not a good one, as the wins will be small and the payoff is even money. Not a good progressive bet ever.

Another way to bet on roulette is to drop by and play favorite number five or six times in a row. If it wins play out the bet five or six times. If it loses, take a walk.
This strategy keeps losses very small and the wins will cover a number of losing plays. It is the 35 to 1 payoff that makes the difference in this bet. Roulette is an elegant game, but keep the losses under tight control. If you do get a rush, push it a little until It begins to lose.

The casino table game of Baccarat is a favorite game of high rollers and smart casino players. The reasons for this are the house odds are one of the lowest in favor of the house. In fact if they did not charge a commission on bank side wins, the odds would be the best of all casino games for the players. Thee are three bets that a player of this game can make before each deal. The bets are the Bank bet, the Player bet and the Tie bet. The first two pay even money and the last bet pays 8 to one. A Bank win is charges a 5% commission.

A betting strategy that is followed by many players of this game is known as following the shoe. The player in this game plays the side that won the last deal.
The strategy is this game has streaks of wins on either side of the shoe, the Player bet and the Bank bet. The Tie bet rarely goes past three ties in a row. The Bank side or the Players side has been known to go 26 wins or more in a row. That is the idea of betting on the last winning side. The hope is that the baccarat player will be lucky and catch a long trend of wins on that bet. If this happens the wins can quickly give a player a substantial increase in their stake.

Another strategy is to follow a pattern of a group of hands. Lets say that the shoe is showing a run of three wins on one side or the other. If this seems to be the trend then the player can try to play this pattern. or pass on the losing bet on the fourth deal. A remarkable pattern I saw one night playing this game was a complete match of the second column of a card to the first. If the prior column won on the bank the second column did the same. The pattern of the first column was matched the entire second column. A player must be aware of trends in this game and the quicker the trend is identified the more winning hands the player will catch. As the saying goes in stock trading the trend is your friend.
This is definitely true in this popular table game offered by most casinos. So remember the cliché, the trend in your friend.

Baccarat is a low house edge game that is played by players of all betting limits and styles. The house edge is small and similar to properly played Blackjack or craps. The secret to baccarat is to catch a run on either the bank side or the player side. A players win streak is the best as there is no commission on a winning player bets. Winning house bets pay a commission on the hand.

The other bet that is a tie hand. So there are only three bets that a player can make in baccarat. The bets are for the player hand to win, the banker hand to win and the tie hand. Many players waste a number of bets on the tie and that will add up over a few hours of play. Many players have their own method of playing for ties. Some never make the bet. Some bet it on a strong hunch and some just play it every now and then on a whim. The method that I have used to some success is the rule of three. The first rule for this method is to play it only after the first tie shows. This rule saves losing many wagers, as a shoe could be tie-less for the entire shoe. By not betting it at all until it shows the first time saves money. The next rule is only play it on spans of three no shows. So this would mean a bet on the third hand the sixth hand and so on. I have hit the tie this way on the 27th hand. The second part of this idea is to use a small progressive bet on each bet. Since the tie pays 8 to one, the progression does not have to be extremely large. On some shoes this method catches most of the tie hands and there is no real logic to the play except it does work a great many times. When it doe not work, it will cut down a number of losing bets. Hunches are terrific when they work, but that is all about luck too. This tie catching method gives the player another advantage. In order to do it right, the player must keep track of the hands on a card. This will help the player see trends or patterns the shoe is exhibiting. The restraint of playing this way keeps losing bets at a minimum and does not depend on hunches to work. It works for me and that is why I brought it up in this blog.

Many online casinos offer these two table games. Both are fun to play and a player can spend a lot of playing sessions with these two games. The element of PaiGow that a player should look for is the bonus bet that some PaiGow games have in addition to the bet per hand. This bonus bet can bring a sizeable bonus if the player's hand is a three of a kind or better. If the player has a choice between two PaiGow games, the one with the bonus bet is the one to play.

PaiGow is a very even game to play as the dealer and the player will have many tie hands that gives neither an advantage. A tie hand results in no winner. The bonus bet is won or lost depending on the hand the player is dealt.

One way to make more money out of the game is to elect to be the house in a live casino/ If a player elects to do this they must be able to cover all bets on the table by other players. This idea should only be put into play when the players hands are running hot.

3Card Poker is a very addictive game, as the cards seem to run in streaks for the house or the player. The secret to this game is only increase the bet size when the cards are running in your favor. The two hands that pay off in a sizeable return are three of kind and a straight flush. The player should consider folding any hand that does not have a queen or higher in it and there is no pair or flush.
Some times when the cards are rushing over the player they can play a jack ten X hand. Do not make it a habit though as this hand is easily beaten. When the cards are running bad a player should fold a Queen five hand, as the cards are not falling favorably for the player. The big bonus hands seem to come about after a long run of hands and may then show up close together. Be careful after they show as the hands seem to go against the player after a big bonus hand.
These two rules are for online play. Enjoy the game and move more money on the bet ring when the cards are rushing over the player.

Most online gaming sites that give out matching bonuses to attract new players have a rule about bonus money and when it can be withdrawn. Every site has its own set of rules and a player would be wise to read the rules for a site they are going to play on. There is no standard rule about matching bonuses.

Casinos that offer out sized bonuses are very likely to have a play through requirement. In many casinos this number is around 30 times the bonus plus the deposit. This means that if your first deposit was $1000 and the casino was willing to match the deposit. The play through would be $2000 times 30 or $60,000 in wagers. That is a difficult amount of wagers to make over time. Most likely the casino edge would work and reduce your betting stake. Also to prevent early withdrawal of the initial deposit, the casino has a rule that early withdrawal of the money would eliminate the bonus in your account. Another rule is that some games do not count against the play through number. This can be zero up to 100% of the wager on the game. Some games will not count at all under any circumstances.

The point is the big bonuses may be just an illusion of real money, since the player will never get to the bonus money. The play through rule at 30 is patently unfair to the player, as it cannot be wagered free. So these casinos that offer 500% bonuses are using the bonus to attract players and rarely have to deliver on the bonuses. There are some newer sites that have smaller matching bonuses that have no requirement or a small number like 5 or so times the bonus plus the first deposit. These are worth looking at if they measure up in other ways.

The rules are usually posted in the cashier section or in the terms and conditions section that you are supposed to have read when opening the account. A player can also use search engines on the Net to find low play through requirements and the casinos that offer this deal for their players. The only way to find good deals is to look at many casinos that offer low play throughs. This is spectacularly true on some of the big bonus sites.

A couple of days ago we talked about being safe at online casinos. Today we’re going to go into a bit more depth about what to look for when you choose an online casino to help you choose the best place for you. You absolutely should be choosy and cautious before entrusting your personal and financial details with any online casino. Here are some of the things to note while comparing online casinos.

Look at the website, first of all. Is it professional in appearance and design? The site should look like the owner took the time to do things right. Look around at the various sections and make sure they are all finished and working properly.

How open is the company about itself? At the very least, the site should clearly say what software platform is being used. Many sites will have information as to who actually owns the site and may even have a phone number. It’s a good idea to call that number and make sure that it is a real working telephone number. This will also enable you to see how courteous and helpful the support team is.

It’s actually a good idea to test the customer support a couple of times at least. Make sure to test every form of support that is offered whether phone, email or live chat. See how responsive the support team is and how friendly they are with your concerns or questions.

Before putting any real cash into an account at any online casino, be sure to read all the fine print. There should be something called the "terms of service" somewhere on the site. Read that very carefully and if you don’t understand something, ask the customer support team for clarification. Also check for any wagering requirements that may apply to any bonuses you are given – some sites make it pretty near impossible to cash out any winnings from bonuses even though the front page claims that you can.

Generally, those who are apprehensive about trying an online casino are nervous because they have security concerns. After all, you hear new horror stories every day about databases being hacked or otherwise compromised and customer data being lost from various companies – why not online casinos? Fortunately, there are a number of things you can check for to ensure that your details are safe and that the casino you are dealing with is reputable.

Any reputable online casino is going to use only secure encryption technology. This means that any details you put in are encrypted before being sent through cyberspace so you don’t have to worry about hackers intercepting all your identifying and financial details. This same technology is what keeps your ATM transactions safe and your point-of-sale transactions at stores safe. Plus the best online casinos will have a history section so that you can find a record of the transactions you have done. Checking this regularly will enable you to spot any discrepancies and get them taken care of.

As to ensuring that you really will get paid your winnings, there are a few things to watch for. First of all, if you do a quick internet search you will be able to find out what other customers are saying about the site. If they aren’t paying their winners, you can believe you will find a lot of complaints when you look. Another way to be assured of a good payout reputation is to look for some sort of accreditation from an independent gaming organization such as eCOGRA or something similar. All of the organizations require an annual independent audit of the online casino and casinos must adhere to very strict standards of consumer fairness.

I won’t say that there are not any scam online casinos because it is possible for a dishonest person to start up an online casino but if you do your due diligence before parting with any details, you can protect yourself.

The proliferation of the online casinos is a boon to those who enjoy a good evening playing blackjack, the slots or poker. Many of those people live to far way from a land-based casino to be able to enjoy gambling very often. Now with the advent of internet gambling, more and more people are realizing that they can enjoy a good game without having to spend a fortune on travel. There are still people who have not yet tried online gambling, though so here are a few tips for the newbie.

Once you’ve figured out where you would like to play, you either will download the site’s gaming software or play the flash version of the games right in your browser. Some sites only offer one way or the other but many will have both types available to you. When a site offers both, you should download the software as the graphics and realism will be a lot better than the flash version on those sites.

Generally, the software will ask you if you want to play for fun or for cash. Playing for fun at first will give you a chance to play the games and get familiar with all the rules and software features before you have to put any real money at risk. Once you are comfortable, then you should register and put a deposit into your new account. That will enable you to play for real money and if you win, you’ll be able to withdraw those winnings.

If you are at all worried that you may get carried away with the excitement of gambling, you will want to set yourself a gambling budget that you stick to. If you have a bad night and lose your entire deposit, go back to playing for fun until your budget comes back around to allow a new deposit. To stretch your gambling dollars, it is a good idea to stop early when you hit a losing streak. Better to save your money to play when you are in a better frame of mind.

There are many betting systems and gambling systems around that will claim to turn you into a winner as long as you buy their system. Don’t fall for things like this. Gambling, no matter what the game, is primarily a game of chance even when playing more skill oriented games like poker. There is simply no way to come up with a system that can outsmart old fashioned luck. The worst of these systems are sold about roulette – these are mostly just out right scams.

Many of the systems rely on a theory known as the gambler’s fallacy. It sounds scientific when they tell you about it but it rests on false beliefs. This fallacy tries to apply the odds of probability to the roulette wheel. It goes to the effect of the ball should statistically fall 50-50 between black and red so if it goes several times in a row in black, then it is more likely to hit red the next. The problem is that there is no statistically valid assumptions to be made because past outcomes have absolutely nothing to do with future events. Even if it was true offline, it certainly would not be true with online roulette as it relies on random number generation. Each spin is completely unrelated to the one before it or the one after it or any other spin.

Think of it this way – if the system worked, wouldn’t the person trying to sell it be using it to make himself wealthy instead of selling the system to others? Even if they were just altruistic and wanted to help other gamblers, they should at least be able to furnish proof of their earnings through using their own system. Guarantee you that you will not find someone able to give you proof of that!
