Nobody likes to lose; especially when it comes to money. On the other hand, everybody wants to win. Casinos know both of these truisms, and they are going to try very hard to make you a loser. If you win too much, they’re going to think you’re a cheater. Therefore, if you think you’re going to cheat the odds, think again. There’s somebody watching you.
Is Card Counting Cheating?
Technically, card counting is not cheating. However, only really smart people, with extreme concentration are good at it. Here’s the rub. Those really smart people who are really good at it work for the casino. They can spot a card counter in no time. If you do it, you will be uninvited to the game. Statistically, card counting is the only game that you can outsmart, but the odds of getting caught are definitely stacked against the gambler.
Math and Probability
Based on all kinds of crazy mathematical formulas, people have punked the gambling systems. The problem is that anyone winning that big is right in the security cross-hairs. Even if they can’t prove you did it because you’re so much smarter than them, they’ll still say “thank you for your patronage and good-bye forever.”
Dumb Luck Is More Fun
If gambling is your thing, then do it for fun. Simply take a lucky rabbit’s foot with you to the casino. Instead of winning it all, just try not to lose it all. Don’t be wooed by that big win. When it happens, pocket it and run. The odds are totally stacked in the casino’s favor if you keep gambling.
