WISE BETTOR GAMBLING BLOG

Do a search at your favorite search engine for “Gambling Systems” and you will most likely come up with thousands upon thousands of opportunities to buy so-called “sure thing” gambling systems. In my late night browsing, I came upon one for sports betting from a self-touted “professional” that claimed to be a risk-free way to bet sports. This line was my first tip-off that this person was no professional. First of all, when you put one penny down on a bet, you are risking something. Furthermore, there is no bet in the casino that is without some degree of risk. Pick any game you want, there’s risk involved.

Many people around the world play at online casinos, and that’s fine if it’s your only source of gambling. However, online casinos are nowhere near as close to the real thing when it comes to simulation. Take Craps for example. The casino determines what number rolls by using a random number generator. However, just how random is random? If you have been in a casino, you know that every single person at a table has a unique rolling pattern. Some stack the dice and casually vault them into the air. Others shake them up and rocket them to the back wall, while other frequently launch the dice off the table or fall short of the back wall. There are even players who change their rolling pattern every roll or point.

It’s big, it’s vivid, and it’s the field! The field is normally the first thing a player notices when he or she looks down at the craps layout. It is extremely hard to miss. For those who don’t know, the field is a bet type in the game of Craps (Dice). When you place a bet on the field, it lives for one roll. You win your bet if the shooter rolls a: 2,3,4,9,10,11 or 12. You lose your bet if the shooter rolls a 5,6,7 or 8. The field attracts many players and has claimed more victims than any war in our history. Let’s take a deeper look into the field and see if there is any value to be had with this bet type.

One of the most popular table games in the casino is Blackjack. Perhaps this is because it’s an easy game to learn or maybe people feel in control. Blackjack is a game where the player’s input can aid in determining the final outcome. Very few people bet the same amount every single hand in a playing session. Most people alter their bets when they feel “lucky.” By paying attention to your hands and knowing a couple simple facts, you can increase your value—and the amount of money you win.

I have played my share of Roulette—was even a dealer in a casino. It never ceased to amaze me how many progression strategies for Roulette came out. In some of the local casinos, here in Las Vegas, you could find someone with a notepad playing Roulette any time of day. So, are these progression systems worthwhile? If not, can they be played effectively in a modified form? These are the issues I will tackle today.

I sat down tonight to decide what games I like this week in the NFL. Many of the games present a problem—knowing just who will play and who won’t. However, the lines show this problem as well, so it could be a good week to rake in some wins. Here’s how I see some of the action.

Many people know how to play blackjack, but just in case you don’t, I thought I would tell you how. Blackjack is really a simple game to learn—a tad more difficult to master. Blackjack is a nice game to enjoy, because you have some control over the game. At a live table, this control factor can be a blessing or a curse depending on the others at your table. Let’s get to it.
