For Ian / London -roulette with 0 and 00 is about 5.26% against the player; I have heard that craps is about 2% against the player; blackjack if following basic strategy gets close to even up with the house (within 1%). If you card count in blackjack, you can turn the odds in your favor slightly. Casinos, however, discourage card counting. I have not been to Atlantic City (mostly Ca and Vegas) but my understanding is that dealers there do not hit soft 17's. If so, that would be more advantageous to players, especially in multi-deck blackjack. Hope this helps. |

Not quite a BJ question so I hope it is okay to ask? I was wondering what of all the online casino games give the best odds to the player. I always believed it was roulette, but now I understand Blackjack gives you a better chance of winning if you play it correct. Any of the other games give better odds than BJ? Other than not playing at all! lol. |

Being that the BJ strategy for "Atlantic City" is slightly different to that of "Las Vegas", I was wondering which of the 2 offers better odds to the player? Anyone know? Thanks in advance. |

Hey Louis,I am 43 years old and I don't need to grow up. I know I'm not the best in the world and don't proclaim to be! So don't be such a smartass!!! Mike thank-you for your intelligent input. I don't think I can click my mouse 43 times in 20 seconds much less making a decision. |

Randy, Yes it is amazing for someone to be able to make 43 correct plays averaging 1 play every 0.4651162 seconds, thats a very fast mouse finger, :) |

I play the hit or stand game on difficult mode and regularly score 100%.In the bonus round I am given 20 seconds and usually get 12-14(16 is my best) correct moves before time runs out.I find it hard to believe someone got 43,32,or even 25 correct moves in 20 seconds.Does anyone else think this is amazing? Or impossible??? |

Hey Mike, I bet you do a lot of walking. If I walked every time I lost three hands I would be exhausted, especially since I am in my sixties. |

Money is a commodity. The only value it has is the value you attache to it. |

London, how long have you lived off the casino's money? |

LOUIS;if you don't use good money management you will not be able to make a living out of the casinos.you talk about about playing with the casinos money,once you have won it then it is your money,and if you believe it it their money that you are playing with they will soon take it back off of you.good luck if you think you can win without good money management,but believe me your luck won't last without it. |

If you want to manage money, don't gamble. If you have money you can live without the choice is weather to throw it away slowly or all at once. The option to gamble is to take a risk on an uncertain event. Will it rain or not? Heads or tails, no guarantees or warranty implied. Take your best shot and don't look back. |

I know it happens, But, I never lose more than 3 hands before I get up and take a break or at least change tables, Or ride a water taxi to a different casino. That's why when I play in Vegas I play downtown where you can easily walk to the next casino, without the hassles of the strip. |
