Gambling Systems
I want to start out right away by telling you about myself. I spent over 10 years in the casino business in Las Vegas. During that time I was employed as a dealer, boxman, floorman, pit boss, and assistant casino manager. I have seen every casino game and probably every kind of system player there is. System players are easy to spot.
They never seem to be having as much fun as the recreational gamblers. They are very serious and deliberate about what they are doing. Some will even try to disguise or hide what they are doing so the house doesn’t catch on. Now that is funny. Funny because the house loves system players. Why? Because there are no systems that can beat casino games. There are ways to gamble smart and stay ahead of the game, but that is not so much a system as it is a method and discipline. More about that later. Let me deal with each of three games that seem to be the most popular, blackjack, craps, and roulette.Blackjack has the distinction among those three games, of being the only one of them in which you actually participate in making decisions about your play and I mean not only about betting, but in the play itself. You decide whether to hit or stand, split, double down, etc… So you have some control over what happens in the game. In blackjack the one obvious advantage that the dealer has over the player is that the player has the opportunity to bust out his hand (go over 21) first. In fact, if all the players on the game bust their hands, the dealer doesn’t even have to play his or her hand. Now that is a huge advantage. The only blackjack system worth mentioning here is of course, card counting. With card counting the player stays aware of the number of cards already dealt, or more accurately the number of cards remaining in the deck, the number of tens that have been exposed, and to a lesser extent, the number of smaller cards that have been played, and the number of aces left in the deck.
