What should you know before going to gamble:

useful tips from Michael Shackleford

Today I would like you to acquaint with important
gambling rules developed by Michael Shackleford,
famous American mathematician, best known for his
professional analysis of the mathematics of the casino
games. He wrote a plenty of useful books for people
who passionate about gambling.
1. Be ready for the loss. The benefit is always on the casinos hand, so you need
to be ready for this. If this brings suffering, it will be better to abandon the
game.
2. Discard the intuition, rely better on mathematical calculations. Not everyone
agrees with this rule, and they turn out to be a loser in the end. If the player uses
various shamanic tricks and psychic powers during the game, he will be
disappointed by a long game, because there will be the accurate mathematical
method on the casino games side.
3. When you are playing for a long period, your finances will be hither and
thither, one day they will increase, another day they will decrease. Regardless of
the level of a player, his bankroll will abruptly change while a game, and it is
normal. The main thing is to follow the selected game system.

4. It tends that the more complexity of the games rules is, the less benefit is for
a casino if the game system is selected properly. The odds of winning in such
games as baccarat, video poker, craps are higher than in the simple games such
as roulette, slots, Keno.
5. Set aside some amount of the money for the game you wont regret to lose.
The game should bring a fun, not the bitterness of lost finances.
6. Dont use the insurance for betting. Do not use it in the blackjack; do not put
your stake on seven in craps. If you can get through the risks on your own, it
wont be worthwhile to insure them. It would be better to make small bets in the
case of a fear of a failure.

7. There are no methods of the game that provide exact odds of winning. Many
rogues suggest using various methods, which help to beat a lottery, roulette, and
other games. Frequently the methods bring a lot of small winnings and then the
player will face with a big loss. It is impossible to win in the long-term game; the
advantage is on the side of a casino.
8. Look for the most convenient conditions. Different casinos can set their own
rules for the blackjack or video poker. Compare conditions offered by casinos,
and choose the ones that suit just you.
9. Avoid the new games and additional bets. The brightest example of this can
be the additional bet in the Caribbean Poker or Let It Ride. Many players make
such bets, but from the point of view of mathematics, they bring a significant
profit for the casinos. There is no one additional bet that has better by
conditions than the basic one.

10. The same is about of latest games. As usual, the updated version has a
higher benefit for a casino, than the current game. No doubt if a casino offers
attractive changes for a player, then there will be another change that will bring
even more benefits to the casino. Derive pleasure from the game. Remember
that you are playing in order to relax and catch a break. Any occupation in small
doses brings the use; and inversely, the abuse of gambling can bring regrets and
loss. If you could not stop in time, it would be better not to begin gambling.

We wish you a good luck!

Sincerely,
Joanna Gessler
