Roulette. Roulette - The Super-Duper Safety System This is a very easy system to work although its principals will probably go against everything you've ever read about betting. You will only be betting on the colors of red and black when playing this system. A win on either of these colors pays even money or 1/1. In the following example we will bet in $1.00 units although a unit may be any amount you can afford, just as long as it doesn't go over the table limit. Before moving on to Step 1, watch a few games and don't start playing until the red has not spun up for three games in a row. You may of course also apply these same rules to the black, but for ease of explanation we will assume that the red is what we are betting on this time. Step 1. Place a $1.00 bet on red. If you win stop playing the system. If you lose move on to Step 2. Step 2. Place a .00 bet on red and a $1.00 bet on black. If red is the winner you have recovered all of your bets and broken even, so go back to Step 1 and start again. If black is the winner you have only recovered half of your total bets so you will need to move on to Step 3. Step 3. Place a .00 bet on red and a $1.00 bet on black. If red is the winner you will be winning $1.00 over the series of games so stop playing the system. If black is the winner you will be losing .00 over the series of games so move on to Step 4. Step 4. Place an .00 bet on red and a $1.00 bet on black. If red is the winner you will be winning .00 over the series of games so stop playing the system. If black is the winner you will be losing .00 over the series of games so move on to Step 5. Step 5. Place a .00 bet on red and a $1.00 bet on black. If red is the winner you will be winning .00 over the series of games so stop playing the system. If black is the winner you will be losing .00 over the series of games so move on to Step 6. Step 6. Place a .00 bet on red and a $1.00 bet on black. If red is the winner you will be winning .00 over the series of games so stop playing the system. If black is the winner you will be losing .00 over the series of games so move on to Step 6. Step 7. Place a .00 bet on red and a $1.00 bet on black. If red is the winner you will be winning .00 over the series of games so stop playing the system. If black is the winner you will be losing .00 over the series of games and will have suffered this loss due to the black winning ten games straight. This is highly unlikely to occur although it is a possibility. Footnote: Should 0 or 00 spin up during the series in which you are playing, treat it a win to black for your next bet on red, and double your next bet on black to recover the loss of the previous game. The purpose behind the play. Your aim by playing this way is to get the red to spin up once only in ten spins of the roulette wheel. Remember that you don't start playing until the red has missed spinning up for three games which gives it seven more chances to spin up. Here is a profit and loss summary of the spins for each Step when you bet along the lines outlined above. You can see from the following results that except for Step 2, you will be a winner anytime that the red spins up during this series of games. Also remember that a betting unit can be more than $1.00. Step 1. Win $1.00 Step 2. Break Even Step 3. Win $1.00 Step 4. Win .00 Step 5. Win .00 Step 6. Win .00 Step 7. Win .00
Poker machines. Do you really have to play the Slots? Yes? You do have to play the slots? Well OK then but lets see if I can't do something to ease the chances of losing big time. Now I don't play the slots much myself but I'm thousands of dollars in front for the amount of times I have played them. Incidentally my wife is well in front too and she compares playing the slots with being bitten by a mad dog! First lesson. You're playing a computerized machine so talking to it and gently caressing it will not help you win. It will however make you look rather silly in a very public place. Slots are set to pay out a set percentage of their turnover. Now this is a fact that you can't alter so the best thing you can do is manage your money better. If you had a thousand dollars to invest you would chase around the banks looking for the highest rate of interest. Well slots are exactly the same. You should only be playing machines which provide the highest percentage of return for the amount put through them. As a general rule this will be machines which appear to cost more to play. As an example your percentage of return on a .00 machine will be better than the percentage of return on a $1.00 machine. And a $1.00 machine will be better than a 20 cent machine etc. As a general rule your best machines would run something like this: .00, $1.00, /home/free/cgi-bin/util/sitebuilder.20, /home/free/cgi-bin/util/sitebuilder.10, /home/free/cgi-bin/util/sitebuilder.05, /home/free/cgi-bin/util/sitebuilder.02, /home/free/cgi-bin/util/sitebuilder.01. (1 cent and 2 cent machines are really for mugs.) Why is a .00 machine better value than a 1 cent machine? The answer is because most .00 machines will pay back up to 96% of the money put through them whereas 1 cent machines only pay back 80 to 85% of the money put through them. This means that in proportion to the money invested you should be able to play a .00 machine for a longer period than a 1 cent machine. A longer playing period will provide more chances of winning. It's that simple. The other thing is that if you're really serious about making a profit on the slots you really can't compare a 100 coin drop on a .00 machine with a 100 coin drop on a 1 cent machine. My personal observations whilst playing the slots are as follows: 1. Play $1.00 and .00 machines if you can afford it. I invested just .00 in a $1.00 slot machine at Twin Towns Services Club last year and walked away with ,138.00. Two years ago I invested .00 in a slot at the Port Macquarie RSL Club and walked out with $1,500.00. My best online win to date has been ,500 on the Reels Royce Slot at Casino Fortune. I was paid in under five days which is very fast for an online casino. 2. Multiply your bets per line if you're playing a 5 or 10 cent machine. Every now and then I play a few 5 cent machines and I've found that I win more by multiplying the amount I bet on each line. I don't believe this increases your chances of winning but it does increase the amount you can win. If you increase the amount you win you have a better chance to pull out in front if you get a good drop. 3. Vary the way you play with every push. Here's what I do on a 5 line machine; I set the machine to play 3 coins per line and then I play 1 line only, for one push. Regardless of whether I win or not I next play 2 lines only, for one push, then 3 lines, then 4 lines and finally 5 lines. I then reverse the procedure by going back down the buttons from 4 lines to 3 lines, then 2 lines, then 1 line. Then start again. So the way I play is something like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4... If a pay out lines up on a line I haven't played I simply ignore it. You can't worry about everything! If I have a decent win on 3 coins per line I then change to 4 coins per line and start the procedure again until I have a win on 4 coins. I then do it again using a different number of coins per line. Just recently I invested .00 in a 5 cent machine at the Laurieton Services Club and walked out with .00 by using the above technique. I often win up to .00 for a half hours play in this way. You can of course reverse the above procedure by playing all five lines for every push but change the number of coins you play each time. Set the amount you'll take out. After a win always set an amount that you will pull out of the machine. The machines are designed to eventually eat up any bankroll regardless of size so pull out and walk away. Having said this there is no reason why a machine won't pay out two or three jackpots or good pays in a row. Many people believe that once a machine has paid out it won't pay out again until someone has filled it up. Well I don't believe this to be true and I'll show you why in a moment but please don't stay with the one machine just to see if it will pay out again. Remember; after a win always set an amount that you will pull out of the machine. Gaining information from experts about the way slots work is difficult. It's a very closely guarded secret which is known only to slots technicians but here's some information I've gathered so far: There's a chip or a board inside the computerized workings of a slot machine which is set to only pay back a certain percentage of the total turnover. However when you push the play button on a slot machine, whether you win or not is a totally random event. Machines are not set to give you a little pay this spin, no pay next spin and then a jackpot the following spin. Each spin is a random event and that's why a machine can pay out two or more jackpots or good pays in a row. Back to the computer chip or board we previously mentioned. The chip or board is set up along the following lines: 01, 02, 02, 03, 03, 03, 04, 04, 04, 04, 05, 05, 05, 05, 05, 06, 06, 06, 06, 06, 06, 07, 07, 07, 07, 07, 07, 07, 08, 08, 08, 08, 08, 08, 08, 08, 09, 09, 09, 09, 09, 09, 09, 09, 09, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, etc, etc, etc... Making sense of it all. In the above example number 01 would be the major jackpot. (There is only one chance of picking it off the whole board.) Both number 02's would be a secondary jackpot as would numbers 03, 04, 05 and 06. (The more of each number on the board the less number of coins it will pay back if picked.) Numbers 07 to 14 would be smaller pay outs again and numbers 15 to 17 might only pay back one or two coins or credits. Every number after number 17, and there could be thousands of them, would not pay anything at all. So a slot machine can be set on the same basis as a roulette wheel. A single 0 roulette wheel ensures that the house or casino makes a profit of around 2.5% and a double 00 wheel will increase the casinos profit to over 5%. In the case of the slot machine above every number after 17 would work just the same as a 0 or 00 on a roulette wheel. this would be the house advantage. Now if we transferred all of the numbers in the above frame to a massive roulette wheel and gave it a spin you would have one chance of spinning up the major jackpot and that would only be if number 01 spun up. If you got real lucky, and number 01 did spin up there is absolutely no reason why it wouldn't, or couldn't, spin up again on the very next spin. The only thing against it is the fact that it is well outnumbered by other numbers which pay lesser or no prizes at all. Now you know a bit about how slots work and my advice to you is that if you have a win get out while you can.
Keno. Reduced Keno Systems Reduced systems do not cover every possible combination of your numbers and that’s why the are much cheaper to use than complete systems! Read the following letter and get the feel of success. 4th September, 1998 "Just a note to thank you for sending my booklet (re: keno) so promptly. It arrived on Tuesday and I did not have much of a chance to read it properly. On Wednesday when I went to the Pub, I decided to use your example numbers and system. First game I won nothing. Second game I collected .00, which I thought was not a bad collect for my investment of just .00. Then the third game came up, and believe me, I was ecstatic with the results of my last game: ticket 1, four numbers, ticket 2, four numbers, ticket 3, four numbers. Total return $1,080.00. You can rest assured that I shall not be returning the booklet to you. Should you wish to use this note as a recommendation, feel free to do so. With thanks. Yours Sincerely, Brian Kearvell - Campbelltown, South Australia" Keno Information In truth, keno is a game which provides some of the worst odds of winning of any form of gambling. The lure of keno is that for a mere bet of $1.00 you could win a million dollars or more... Playing anymore than a spot six or spot seven in keno means you've lost touch with reality and are off with the fairies somewhere. The only reason to play a ticket bigger than a spot six or spot seven is if you're playing a good system and profiting from minor prizes. The best value in keno are spots three, four and five. The gentleman who supplied the above testimonial was playing a spot four keno system for .00 a ticket. Playing smaller spots and multiplying your win is the clever way to play keno. Here's some Keno facts for you: One number selected Odds against winning 3-1 Payout 2-1 Two numbers selected Odds against winning 15.63-1 Payout 11-1 Three numbers selected Odds against any win 5.55-1 Odds against top win 71.07-1 Payout for top win 43-1 Four numbers selected Odds against any win 2.86-1 Odds against top win 325-1 Payout for top win 119-1 Five numbers selected Odds against any win 9.34-1 Odds against top win 1,549-1 Payout for top win 639-1 Six numbers selected Odds against any win 5.19-1 Odds against top win 7,752-1 Payout for top win 1,659-1 Seven numbers selected Odds against any win 3.23-1 Odds against top win 40,978-1 Payout for top win *5000-1 Eight numbers selected Odds against any win 8.77-1 Odds against top win 230,114-1 Payout for top win *20,000-1 Nine numbers selected Odds against any win 5.53-1 Odds against top win 1,380,686-1 Payout for top win *100,000-1 Ten numbers selected Odds against any win 14.47-1 Odds against top win 8,911,702-1 Payout for top win *1,000,000-1 Minimum prize of a jackpot pool. Figures quoted are an extract from an article which recently appeared in a major Australian newspaper. Something Interesting From the time keno commenced at Jupiter's Casino on the Gold Coast it took 12 years for someone to win the 10/10 jackpot. The winning numbers were 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39 and 40. Most people would believe that the odds of a string of ten numbers such as these being drawn would be astronomical, but in truth the odds are exactly the same as those of any other ten numbers being drawn: 8,911,702-1 Example of a basic Keno System The basic principal behind a reduced system is to simply take more numbers than your target number and then mathematically reduce them to equal your target number. In Keno your target number can be anything from a spot one to a spot fifteen because you have the choice of which sized spot you'll bet on. Let’s take a look at the rules and an example to see if we can’t improve your chances of winning. Rules for playing Reduced Systems 1. Select six numbers between one and eighty and place them in the selections boxes at the top of the chart. As an example we'll say that you've chosen numbers: 13, 27, 28, 33, 41 and 79. 2. Copy your six selections vertically down the chart into the boxes without any crosses [XX] in them. You are only permitted to place your numbers in the open boxes in each plan: [XX] 3. Transfer the four numbers on each ticket line to a standard keno entry form. You'll end up with three tickets of four numbers each. Below is an example of how a reduced systems looks prior to being filled in with your selections. 6 to 4 Reduced System = 3 Tickets Selections [ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][XX] Ticket 1. [ ][ ][XX][ ][ ][XX] Ticket 2. [ ][XX][ ][XX][ ][ ] Ticket 3. [XX][ ][ ][ ][XX][ ] Now, let’s fill this system in for you so you can see just how easy it is to use an exciting and professional reduced system. Don’t forget that the numbers we've chosen for you are: 13, 27, 28, 33, 41 and 79. Selections [13][27][28][33][41][79] Ticket 1. [13][27][XX][33][41][XX] Ticket 2. [13][XX][28][XX][41][79] Ticket 3. [XX][27][28][33][XX][79] Transfer of Numbers In the above example the numbers you would transfer to each keno entry ticket would be as follows: Ticket 1. 13, 27, 33, 41. Ticket 2. 13, 28, 41, 79. Ticket 3. 27, 28, 33, 79. At a cost of $1 for each ticket your total cost to play one game using this particular system would be . For an outlay of you have three chances of snaring all four numbers on one ticket. A four number keno win usually pays so it’s not a bad result for an outlay of only if your numbers happen to come out! In the previous example you'll find that if all six of your selections are drawn you'll have three winning keno tickets of four numbers each. The result of three four spot wins would be three times which makes a total of . collected on one game is a pretty good result for an outlay of only . Five winning numbers among your six selections guarantees one four number win and two three number wins. Four winning numbers among your six selections will provide a minimum of two three number wins plus one two number win. Naturally you also have three chances at a four number win. Three winning numbers among your six selections will provide a minimum of two two number wins plus three chances of a three number win. Two winning numbers among your six selections will provide a minimum of one two number win with the chance of another two number win. Important Some Clubs and Casinos may not pay a two number win so check it out before you enter your tickets. You now have a basic example of how powerful a reduced keno systems can be.
Blackjack. Winning At Blackjack - Getting Started In all games used for gambling, blackjack remains the only one in which a participant can actually change his chances of winning during the game. Whether those running casinos wish to admit it or not, blackjack does involve skill. Blackjack actually refers to a specific holding (2 cards totaling 21). However, this is also the most common term for the game - also known as 21. You are playing against the dealer at all times. Many people feel that you must play differently depending on where you sit at the table. This is not true. Players sit in a semi-circle around the dealer, but no matter where you sit, you are still playing against the dealer. You owe nothing to the other players - it is your own money you are risking. In blackjack, the suits of the cards have no significance. Tens, Jacks, Queens, and Kings all count 10. An Ace counts as 1 or 11 at the player's option. Cards from 2 to 9 are counted at their face value. Therefore, if you hold a 9 and a 5, you have 14. A nine and an Ace can be either 10 or 20. The idea of the game is to get as close to 21 as you can without going over. You are dealt 2 cards and the dealer is also dealt 2 cards - one always face up, and one face down. You are then given the option of standing with the cards you have ("stick or sticking") or you may hit and be given another card. ("hitting"). You may take as many cards as you wish to but if you go over 21, you "bust", and the dealer wins automatically. The dealer will not take any cards until all players are through taking their cards. Thus the dealer's biggest advantage is here. Any players that bust lose their bet even if the dealer also goes bust. If you stay at 21 or under and have a higher total than the dealer, you win. If both you and the dealer hold cards equaling the same total, it is a "push" and you stay even (not winning or losing). If the dealer has a higher total without busting, he wins. The payoff if you win is even money (one to one). If you get a "21" or "Blackjack" (21 in 2 cards) you are paid at a rate of 3 to 2 (bet win ). If the dealer gets blackjack at the same time, you push and all other players lose. You may take "insurance" when the dealers first card is an Ace. After all players and the dealer have 2 cards, he will ask "insurance?" You may bet another 1/2 of your original bet. Payment is 2 to 1 if the dealer does get blackjack. At this point, after each player and the dealer has 2 cards, he will start at the immediate right and see if the player wants a card ("a hit"). If the answer’s yes, the player scratches the table with his fingers or cards towards himself. If not, he places his cards under his bet or makes a negative movement with his hand. Dealers respond to hand gestures only. If you go over 21 "bust", you turn your cards over (face up) and the dealer takes the cards and your bet. If you stay at 21 or under, the dealer will commence dealing to the next player. As previously mentioned, an Ace can be used as a 1 or 11. When you have say an 8 and a 10, you have a "hard" hand. However, an 8 and an Ace gives you a "soft" hand. Because you have a soft 19 or a hard 9 if you count the Ace as a one. The dealer on the other hand does not get these options. When all players are through, the dealer turns face up his hole card. He must take a card if he has 16 or less. He must stand (in most casinos) on a hard or soft 17. Most players try and guess what the dealer has and look at the other cards on the table before deciding to hit or stand. Most players also never win at blackjack. At this point, you should understand how the game is played. The following is your best strategy as determined by computer testing. Always hit when you have 11 or less. Always stand with a hard 17 or more. Play this way on a hard hand: When the dealer's up card is from a 7 to an Ace, draw if you have 12 to 16. When the dealer's card is 2 to 6, stand on 12 to 16 except when the dealer's card is 2 or 3, in which case you would draw. On a soft hand do the following: Always draw to a soft 12. Stand on 18 except when the dealer has a 9 or 10 value card. Stand on 19. In most casinos, you may "double down" (double your bet) after your first two cards. On a hard hand: Always double with 11, with 10 except if the dealer has a 10 or Ace, with 9 against the dealer's 2 to 6 up card. On a soft hand: With Ace and 2 to Ace and 7 double against dealer's 4, 5, or 6. Also with Ace and 6 against 2 or 3 and Ace and 7 against 3. Another play is the "splitting" of pairs. If your first two cards of the deal are the same value, you may split the cards and play two hands by placing a bet of the same value as your original bet on the second hand. Always split Ace-Ace and 8-8. Never split 10-10, 5-5 or 4-4. Split other pairs only when the dealer's card is 2 to 6. These rules may seem complicated and difficult. However, after playing at home, this basic strategy will require no concentration. Count The Cards After you have become comfortable with the basic strategy, you may be able to shift the odds into your favor. Although counting cards is illegal in some places, simple methods of advanced strategy can be easily employed. When a number (greater than the average) of 10's have been used, more 5 value cards are present and this is an advantage to the dealer. If more 5 value cards have been used, the advantage is in your favor (a slightly larger bet may be in order). Here Is A Way For Counting High + Low Cards... Whenever a card value of 2 to 6 appears count +1. Cards 7, 8, 9, count 0. Count -1 for 10's and Aces. In this manner, there are 5 low cards (+1) and 5 high (-1) cards. If at any time the number obtained is say +5 or more, it is to your advantage to raise your bet. If very few low cards are left, it may even make sense to stand on 15 or 16 against dealer's high card. Good luck.
