THE
EXITING OF GAMBLING
People could win more (or lose less), but they don't. This
bizarre phenomenon is reflected in the latest generation of
video poker games that have a certified player advantage.
Casinos actually promote these games. Guess what? Players
still lose!
It's obvious that some people don't even try. They've been
thoroughly conditioned to believe that players should never
win. When they do it's considered a freak aberration, a stroke
of rare luck. Hey, that's gambling right?
No, that's losing.
Gambling is a series of contests. It starts when you pick
odds that are favorable (or at least not too unfavorable).
The house has an advantage. Sometimes you win. More times
they win. Strategy plays a role. This is true to varying degrees
for all casino contests, even slot machines.
Of course, there
is no amount of expertise or information that can make anyone
a guaranteed winner. That wouldn't be gambling, and it wouldn't
be fun. Guaranteed money comes from having a job, managing
investments or being a wealthy scion. That's work. Gambling
is entertainment. We pay for entertainment. The contest determines
the price. |

CREDITS
AND AWARDS
If you only want to play the electronic games such as video
poker or slot machines, it pays to inquire about the comps
and credits before making reservations at a particular hotel.
Check various hotels, and find the one that best will compensate
you for your action.
Just because you
play video poker, for example doesn’t foreclose you
from playing table games such as blackjack where your skill
can beat the house. Not only check on the membership clubs,
but the comps available to you when playing a table game such
as blackjack. Can you get a better rate on your room? Will
it be difficult for you to get your meals chomped? Don't be
afraid to ask questions. It's much better to know just what
to expect, rather than pick a hotel at random and find yourself
unhappy with what awaits you.
On the other hand,
if all you want is a bed, it might pay to get a cheap room
somewhere, and to use the hotel as base or center, roaming
around whatever gambling city you’re in and looking
for action where it suits you. |
