How to Win Big at Casino Gambling (I)

What’s more American than Mom, apple pie, and baseball? Would you believe Mom, apple pie, and casinos? It’s true. Americans are visiting casinos more than they visit Major League baseball parks!
With all this participation, are Americans becoming expert at gambling? Do they know their odds and the ways to improve their odds the way they used to know baseball stats? If we are to judge by the billions of dollars dropped in casinos each year, the answer is a resounding “NO.”
If winning at the casino is the new American dream, it seems to be a dream that comes true for very few – except the owners of the establishments. We’ll assume you are not an owner. Then what can you do to improve your chances of winning a piece of the American casino pie? How can you change your luck?
Would you believe that your “luck” is really only one factor in the game, that there is a lot more going on here than just plain old-fashioned apple pie luck?
First, let me ask you a couple more questions. Do you spend more than you intended to on most of your visits to the casino, stay longer than you had planned, win far less money than you would like to win? Are you frustrated by your inability to really get ahead but find yourself going back again and again?
If you answered “yes” to these questions, you are solidly in with the vast majority of people who visit casinos. But, let’s look at what “yes” answers imply. Notice that what you are really saying is that you don’t seem to have as much control over your “luck” AND YOUR BEHAVIOR at casinos
as you would like to have. Why? Would you believe good old-fashioned American psychology? It’s true – psychology is planned into the casino business!
First of all, there is the general psychology of society’s changing attitude. Gambling has increased in popularity in good part because it is no longer perceived as terribly immoral – even the government has given its approval. Since you’re, in effect, looking through society’s view of
gambling as an acceptable form of entertainment, it’s easy to let your guard down. It’s just an acceptable, harmless way to have some fun. This is fine, as long as you either have inexhaustible funds to throw away or you can keep enough control to spend no more than you can afford. But if
you want to make your casino visits PAY, then you must change the way you look at gambling.
To make it pay you must look at the casino as your adversary. Now, that’s not to say it can’t be fun – after all, wouldn’t it be more fun to walk away from your casino-adversary with bucks in your
pocket and a smile on your face than it is to walk away from your casino-friend with empty pockets?
But the psychology part is more involved and complicated than just analyzing your attitude and society’s attitude. Casinos consciously and deliberately exploit known psychological responses to control your gambling behavior. Knowing some of their methods will help put you back in control.
We all know that casinos are set up to give the casino a mathematical edge. They are in the business to make money, after all. What you may not know is that your mathematical odds of winning are affected by the length of your visit. The longer you stay, the poorer your odds of winning are. That’s mathematical. The casinos, then, use psychological methods to persuade you to stay longer – the longer you stay, the greater the odds that they win.
