You wont buck the casino with a mail order tactics

 Dear Mark,
What are your thoughts on some of the different systems on beating the
casino that I see being sold on the internet? Clay R. aol.com
Legions of people are forever devising systems to beat the house, but
if those systems you see on the internet were any good, casino owners
would do what it takes in a New York minute so no lamb could ever
slaughter the butcher. It's a gimme that owners of gambling joints
don't spend bazillions of dollars to build mega-resorts so that some
system player can come in, beat the hell out of the place, and ask for
the keys to the front door. You were not system-specific, Clay, but I
have seen those ads you are talking about. "How to win every time at
the roulette table. Send $10. P. O. Box---." Now, if their POBOX scheme
were that good, would Mr. POBOX be waiting around for your measly $10
to shows when all he could do is walk into a casino and pulverize
the place. Sound a bit silly, Clay? I do not know a casino owner alive
who wouldn't send the limousine for a system player with a certified
bankrolls. and load them up with all the comps he could manage, and
still make a fortune off him. The casino owner might even consider
sending POBOX a thank-you note.
Dear Mark,
Could you please explain the difference between two "to" one and two
"for" one? Is it the same or is the payout different? The two bewilder
me. Jane B. Milwaukee, WI
Fret not, Jane, players confuse them all the time.
Two "for" one is when you bet $1 you get $2 back‹your original dollar
wager plus a dollar profit. When the payoff is two "to" one, you will
get your dollar back plus an additional two dollars.
Dear Mark,
You won¹t believe this, but red came up 15 times in a row in a Las
Vegas casino last month, and no one made any money, that is except me.
I bought in for $20 and walked away $635 richer. Thanks for the advice
on never quitting on a winning streak, plus playing on a single zero
roulette wheel. Dale G. Los Angeles, CA
Cheers, Dale, for identifying both the importance of playing on a
single zero roulette table and your run at roulette splendor and
renown. Your letter shows why I constantly preach: never, ever quit a
winning streak. Let the streak quit you. Press your wagers and bet
increasingly more, even if you have to stay all night. It may never
happen again in your lifetime. Once the wheel of fortune creaks‹one
loss, two loses, three loses max‹head for the cashier¹s cage. Walking
away a winner is so much fun. You can take the your profits and run,
and no matter how hot the roulette dealer gets after your streak, she
can't touch your winnings once you're out the front door. By the way,
Dale, the odds of red appearing 15 times in a row on a single zero
roulette table are 50,000 to one.
Gambling thought of the week: "Nobody is always a winner, and anybody
who says he is, is either a liar or doesn¹t play poker." ‹Amarillo Slim
