Ready to get an edge on the casino? These simple tricks can make a big difference. A few small
changes can turn a disappointing night into a successful one. It doesn’t matter where you play. At
an online casino or in a land-based casino, on a smartphone app or at a table, these simple
techniques ring true.
1. Pocket the winnings.
If every chip that is earned gets tucked away, that means that there will always be something left
at the end of the night. No one likes to call it quits empty-handed. Even if it’s just a few chips, it
is an accomplishment worth holding onto. How this trick translates to the online world is a little
tricky. When playing online or on a smartphone, jot down how much you win when you win, and
add it up in a calculator. When the number on the calculator equals the number left in the
account, that means quitting time. The amount left is the winnings from playing.
2. Double Up
It may seem too simple to be true, but doubling up is actually a very neat math trick. Doubling
the bet after a loss, no matter how many losses there are in a row, guarantees that the player will
win by the original amount as soon as they actually win. For example, if a player bets $5 and
loses, they can double the bet to $10, $20, $40, and on and on, and the moment they win, the
total earnings will be $5. This strategy only goes south when the player bets more than they can
afford and runs out of money before they can manage to win. In other words, doubling up is a
guaranteed win so long as the player can afford to continue to bet.
3. Keep it Simple
Too many betting strategies involve stretching chips thinly around the table, covering all bases in
theory but in reality just making it that much more difficult to profit. Instead, pick the single bet
that is the most likely to win, like a color in roulette or a hand of blackjack, and just bet on that.
Already practicing some of these techniques? Not sure all of them go with your style? It’s
alright. Whatever is the most personally rewarding, the most fun play style for you personally is
the right way to go.
