Casino Tricks Revealed: the Maths behind the Magic
Submitted by Martin Anderson on Wed, 2014-06-04 at 15:45
OK, so we all know that the people who tend to do best when playing at a Casino are the super-genius maths geeks as they’re pros at calculating the odds and counting the cards. To us mere mortals it can sometimes look like magic but, honestly, there are skills that we can all learn to improve our winning chances at the Casino.
The most important maths to learn when Casino gaming, is that the Casino has the edge. This means that although we might be more likely to win in the short term, in the long run we become more and more likely to lose overall. By understanding the law of averages we can seriously increase our success rate when gambling.
First off, let’s take a look at the Casino games that rely heavily on lucky: Slots and Roulette. To optimise your winning chances here you need to understand that the law of averages will dictate that the more times you play, the closer you will get to equalling the payout percentage. That means that although you may do well at first in these games, if you played for an infinite amount of time, you would lose. That doesn’t mean, however, that you can’t win. The best way to win at either of these Casino games is to play a Progressive version of the game, as the potential reward if you hit the massive Jackpot will be more than you will have spent.
Casino games of skill such as Blackjack and Poker, on the other hand, require a very strategic game plan. The odds of winning on any hand can vary and the best players are able to calculate, at speed, their odds of winning, and therefore the actions they need to take. If the odds look good then they can increase the wagering amount, for example, whereas if the hand is unlikely to win, they can fold. Some versions of online Casino Blackjack offer players the chance to ‘surrender’, which allows you to back out of a hand whilst still keeping some of your initial stake.
