Casino Games Systems – Beware

July 13th, 2010

People have been fascinated with gambling ever since time began and they have also been fascinated with systems to beat the odds of the house winning. Some of the greatest minds known to man have also tried to tackle beating the odds and even Albert Einstein is reputed to have said the only way you can beat the odds at roulette is to steal from the table when the croupier isn’t looking.

Blaise Pascal is credited with the invention of the roulette table after attempting to create a perpetual motion wheel and as a mathematician and philosopher was asked by a friend to help with a system to beat the table. The question of this interested him greatly and sparked the first ever book on the theory of probability. This book is the well renowned Traite du Triangle Arethmetique.

Professor Einstein was correct and mathematical configurations or systems will never beat the table, there is no true way to overcome the house edge and this is the case with virtually every casino game.

From time to time, you will find books or treatises which boldly proclaim to beat the house edge and they are all over the internet. Don’t buy them; if Albert Einstein could not fathom it out, the chances of anyone else being able to do this are slim to absolutely non-existent. People making this claim are charlatans of the worst order and they, like the casinos, simply want to part you from your money.

Casinos offer an opportunity for entertainment, nothing more, and nothing less. This is what gambling is, it is fun, a distraction and a way to test probability. Some people get lucky and win, while others never win, but they play the table games slots or whatever floats their boat, because it is great fun.

Gambling systems are generally based on money management strategy. There three prominent systems, the negative and the positive betting progression and the hedge betting system. The negative progression theory has you increase your bets after a loss and the positive theory is the opposite. These types of systems can be bad for your bankroll if you take them too seriously, so don’t. Remember you are playing for fun!

In the most part casino welcomes you to try your strategy or systems out at the tables and the only banned system is card counting in blackjack. Get caught doing this and it is punishable by law, although it is good strategy in blackjack to get to know your cards. Looking at what appears on the table, generally gives the player an idea of what cards may come up next.

The casinos love system players because they know they will spend money at the tables, in particular with negative progression. As far as hedge betting is concerned, a lot of gambling games actually allow you to play this way; it is in the rules and is the same as taking insurance. The odds bet in craps is a hedge betting wager.
