My local casino offers both monthly and weekly blackjack tournaments. Let say the entry fee is , does this mean that you would get worth of chips or would your buy in start you out at something like 0 worth in chips ? Is the winner determined by who has the most money at the end of the tournament?

Given the average payout of the lottery vs. the odds of roulette, am I more likely to win money playing in the lottery or in roulette (and letting it ride until it equals the average NYC lottery payout.)

Please show the math.

Sometimes, I go to tables and clean up at blackjack. Other times, most of the time, if the dealer has a 10 or face card, their under card is ALWAYS another 10 or face card. They have to be cheating. If blackjack was honest, they would lose a lot of money, don’t you think?

At least the slots are honest. Roulette’s not that bad, but I definitely think some cheating goes on there. It’s possible, and probably very easy.

I don’t understand what the difference is on betting your money on Bingo but we can’t have casino’s in Texas and bet on like Blackjack or Poker. Only difference I see is you can win/lose your money quicker playing a casino game. So why is it legal to gamble on Bingo in Texas but were not aloud to have casino’s?

Here is my idea for winning at roulette. First pick two of the rows, it doesn’t matter which ones and put chips on their 2 to 1. Then pick two of the first, middle, or last 12 rows and put chips there. You have 16 numbers that you can now win a decent profit on…16 numbers that although you lose a little money you won’t lose too much cause you win some back with either a column win or a 12 number win…and only 6 numbers that you can lose on (the 6 includes 0 and 00).

Example: On the first 16 number possibility you can put down 0 and get back 0

On the second 16 number possibility you can put down 0 and get back 0 (yes you lose but at least you lose more slowly)

On the last 6 your just screwed.

On the second 16 number possibility you can put down 0 and get back 0 (yes you lose but at least you lose more slowly so you can hopefully recoup your losses by playing more)

On the last 6 your just screwed.

For those who are telling me that casino odds are still in their favor and i will lose,yes I know that…I am just trying to find a way to get better odds so you can play longer and if ya get lucky make more money.

I had heard once that the house’s take from a blackjack table increases with the number of decks. (e.g. The house will make more money when using three decks instead of three.) I wonder if there is an equation that relates the number of decks and the expected value of the payout. Also, if the player is counting cards, does their take increase or decrease with the number of decks?

I understand the slots and poker and actually won money on the poker but what is with the bingo card at the top of the screen. The machines i speak of are at the Seminole hard rock casino in Tampa,FL.

I went to one table blackjack in florida, every hands the card go into shuffling machine. Which make card counting impossible. So does it mean players will lose money for sure?

I thought the only way to make profit from blackjack is know basic step and when to make hit or stand and also do card counting. Without card counting, even the most skills players will lose even if they do everything as follow the kelly math method. Even MIT student will never gain profit in past 1980s if they have shuffle machine during that time?
