Betting Odds
To successfully play in
the casino, of course, need to know and to
choose the right games. It is clear that the
players have a personal preference: some
like slot machines, someone is looking for
opportunities to win roulette, and someone
who likes card games. But all games have
some of the characteristics, properties, and
if you want to play well, you should choose
the "right" of the game.
Since casino games are
random in principle, then, as any random
events, they are described by the parameters
of the expectation and variance. The
expectation (or payouts) shows the
percentage of bets placed on the average
player get back. Most often it is 95-99%, ie
casino games designed so that the casino has
the advantage of a higher probability to
win. These are the rules of the games.
The dispersion characterizes the dispersion
of the results of the game, the magnitude of
the possible deviations from the
mathematical expectation. If a game with
high variance, then the player can both lost
heavily, and the biggest gainers. In a game
with low dispersion player will often
fluctuate around the initial sum.
In addition, the casino
games are divided into the "game of chance"
and "games of skill". In games of chance a
player makes a bet and then nothing of it
depends. In this case, the player can not
change the expectation game.
So random
roulette, unfortunately for many, it is
impossible to beat. Various betting
strategies (Martingale, Donald, etc.) change
only the variance, but not expectation. In
games of skill after the bet the player
takes a decision (to change maps,
continuation or completion of the game),
respectively, the solutions may be optimal
or not. Mathematicians have calculated the
most profitable activities in different
situations, all together they create a base
or an optimal strategy.
In fact, there are techniques to really gain
an advantage over the casino, but more about
that in the article.
In the meantime,
familiarize yourself with the rules and
optimal strategies for casino games:
Roulette - one of the
most popular games in Russia, many are
looking for ways to win, mostly
unsuccessfully ... The expectation of 97.3%
for European Roulette (casino advantage of
2.7%), small variance a game of chance,
using a large betting strategies or play on
numbers.
