I am an occasional visitor to a local casino and everytime I lose money when I play games there. My favarite game is Rollette and Bacarat. I can win a little but lose all of the time. Why I always lose ? What should I do in order to win more ? I am not greedy but just want to win a little.

Hi lkbooi, they always or atleast win most of time because they work on statistical model. They most of the time use Game theory and other statistics and mathematics. most of the games that are in casinos are statistically predicatable element so its like u winning 1 in a chance of 1000000000..... so its almost luck of winning. statistically probablity of winning is very very low maybe 0.000000000...1 but still the chance of occuring is 50-50. either u win or lose...... so cheer up.... u will soon hit a jackpot soon....

The odds are always against you, as simple as that. On the roulette, betting on a color (red or black) you always have 19 chances out of 37 of loosing. but you can try to make your odds better.

It's true that the odds are against us. The best that we can get is close to 50% of winning possibility. I observed that even we bet odd/even or red/black, we still lose to casino. That's why i think casino have better luck than most of us. On the Roulette part, i think the odds is 18 out of 37 instead :) Coz when it strike 0, all bet will lose.

Depends on the casino, the casinos I play, you can spin the wheel even without placing any bets (what is great to increase your chance of winning).

Although i do not like gambling ,but i sometimes go to the casino to have a drink and have fun. Gamblers are doomed to lose in the casino, someone may win in short term, but 100% loss in long term. In Star city casino in australia,its daily profit is 1.5 million....... Percentgae of every table games for players to win is around 45%, in black jack because players get cards before dealers, players bust first, dealers get absolute advantage. In rouletter ,,if u bet on red or black, chance of it is

Hi dear easy888, I utterly agree with you, I have seen people playing roulette in the casino, if we bet on red or black the chance of winning definitely is slightly less than 50% as besides the 36 numbers there is also a zero. I believe only the people would win if he could leave the table after winning.

hi, i visit the casino too. its not really that you loose in the casino it is more the greed that makes you loose there. even if you have won, its highly impossible for yu to get up from the table. you always feel there is more to be won.

Hi monishavaki, I totally agree with you, the greed of the player always drives him to lose. Many people lose their money because after making some profit they refuse to leave the table, as they think they still could win more, until they lose their profit and also all the money they have brought along. This is always the consequence of gamming.

Hi Sir, I utterly agree with you the saying, one might lose 9 out of 10 bets that he has tried. So this is the reason casinos always make great profit. From this we could see more casinos are springing up rapidly.

Yeah, I totally believe that you don’t have any experience in casino gambling as there is a rule to prohibit people who are under the age of 21 to enter the casino. Of course the casino always makes money and only minority for the customers could win there.

Frankly, I have never been to a casino before because I am not interested in gambling. I think businessmen don't want to have a business which has no profit or even get a loss. Perhaps this is why the casino always wins:) I love China

Hi youless, it’s nice to know that you don’t have the interest in gambling. Anyway we could learn something if we pay a visit to a casino. At least we could something how a real casino with so many slot machines, layout of games, dealers and customers actually is. I consider that gambling is the worst habit for a person who is addicted to this horrible hobby. He always couldn’t refrain himself from visiting the casino once he has got money. I have learnt from many stories in real life and from the movies as well that the loved ones and the family of a gambler are always the people who suffer a lot. Once the gambler has got his salary he will definitely hurry to the casino and bet all the money there, hoping that he could win back the loss, instead of giving it to the family. Anyway he will gamble away all the money he brings consequently luck and good luck.

Hi dear suehan1, when I was roaming round the casino I found that baccarat and roulette are really the games among the most popular ones there. Yeah, I agree that we often lose in the games though sometimes we might be lucky enough to win a little money. I don’t have any idea about the bingo. It must be quite an interesting game so that it could be so attractive to you.

hey i agree with you. its not how much you win, its when you win and leave the casino. I have been so many times to a casino and won a lot, however never been able to leave win, we sit there and always wish we could make some more. It is our gred that makes us stay and loose.

Thanks monishavakil, really we could only win if we were able to make the firm decision to leave the table once we have won a certain amount of money. If one is contented with what he has made I believe he will never lose at that moment. Anyhow if he couldn’t discipline himself in this way he will surely be caught the next moment. Life in casino is as such.

Well I only play video poker and even though I have had a few good wins I mostly lose, it's just an addiction, I know the machines are nearly always going to win, and it's just through a very slim chance that one walks out winning. But they are set up like that, most people lose but since you will always find that someone wins you keep on playing hoping you will win this time. Thinking it over gambling isn't one of the smartest things you can do,but, it's only human to do it.

Hi dear duranv, I think not only video poker but other games as well stands a little chance of winning if we continue to play after winning. Normally one won’t stop after winning as he hopes to win more until he has finished his capital. Another reason is that one doesn’t have enough capital to fight with the casino so this is why the casino always winning.

the house always wins , The pay out ratio is100000000 to 1 so u have to be really lucky to win a jackpot in a big casino , i believe all the machis are rigged and have certain ways to operate so its very important to understand the machines ,i feel if you are in a casino and winning be happy with small mercies and walk out, which is very difficult .Guys happy gambling

Hi bajaj, I agree with you. To win a jackpot in a big casino is extremely difficult and even seems impossible to get it. Anyhow it’s merely a matter of luck to win it. I did find cases where people just did few attempts and won the big prize. Of course we will surely win if we avoid gambling altogether.

There's nothing you can do. It's all based on luck. Unless the casino is cheating you out of your money.

Hi bomvoyage, no matter you win or lose it’s wise for you to leave the table after a fixed period of time, otherwise the consequence will be either you won’t be winning anymore or you lose more. Good luck my dear friend.

Some people use the Marionet system to win at the Roulette table. But I don't advise it to anybody. As you maybe knowing already in a marionet you first bet with $1 and double it every time you lose. So no matter how many times you lose, you ultimately win $1. For instance if you lose 5 times then you lose (1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16) 31. But next time you keep 32 and win. Then you have won 32 but previously you lost 31. Your win is $1. But sometimes you can lose more times. Then you exceed the table limit and cannot recover your money. Another way of increasing your odds to win is to place 2 in the middle row and 3 for Red. Most of the blacks are in the middle row. So the chance of your winning $1 is greater than 50%.

Thanks for your advice as not to try the Marionet betting as we may suffer heavy loss ultimately especially when table limit is exceeded. Your tactic to increase the odds to win by betting 2 at the middle column and 3 for Red is quite practical but if you loss 1 time you have to win 5 times back to recover the money. I very much appreciate your information. Good Luck at Roulette Table.:)

I like to play Black Jack. It is a well known fact that your odds are the best in this game. As far as why do casinos always win? Well I guess if they were losing there would not be any casinos, how would they survive?

If you not greedy why should you ask the way to WIN MORE? Gambling in a small sum will make fun and bring you happyness otherwise you wlll suffer from the disapontment and pain of losing money. The idomatic phrase which sounds "To gamble 10 times you will lose 9 times". This is the answer why Casino always wins and you always lose.

I am not greedy actually, just wonder why casino always win, coz casino should have the same odds against the players in most of the games. I think most of the time, it's due to the player attitude which cause them to lose. People always quit when only they lose. Very few people can quit when they are winning. It's true that we lose 9 out of 10 times, coz so far i only win 1 time only :)

Playing in Casino is like playing FOREX, stocks or commodities market... it's merely a game of probability. And in the case of Casinos, they have already research various ways of "Beating the house" and imposed several restriction to prevent that from happening. For example, each table has a betting limit, it is not there without a reason. It is to prevent people from doubling their bets after each losses. I can't remember what that strategy is called but eventually you can beat the house if you have a deep pocket and the house does not have a table limit. And the roulette has either one "0" for European and an additional "00" for American. That very much tweaked the odds in their favor. So it is not a 50/50 but more like a 52/48 chance. 48% of you winning. In Casinos, it's never a 50-50% chance. What should you do if you want to win more? Like any other field, GET AN EDUCATION and master the art of Gambling. If professional gamblers don't gamble, why should you? I know you are not greedy, so win a little and go home. Choice is yours.

According to my husband's opinions: "in casino chance of winning is nearly 50-50. It's quite fair too. Gaming ought to be cool and patient. Wait for the moments favourable to your tactic of betting. Aim at a little at beginning and then a bigger one if you have made much more later on." If you can identify and foresee the favourable seasons, plus luck, I wish you to have a prosperous day:)

Casino is a business. If players always win, the casino might be closing anytime, since they have gone bankrupt. lol. In my opinion there are lucky days and unlucky ones. When I had the first three games and do not win I do not push through my gaming anymore, I see it as a bad luck day. But if I win in any of my first three games I continue. I have had the same experience. So I purely based it on my luck. But If I have won a lot, and think that it's already enough. I will stop. You have to set your limits too. My dad is into gambling. He is a regular customer of the casino. He has won more than a thousand dollars for a total, but everything he has won, he just continue betting them. I don't think he has won already for everything he had, he just plays it on slot machines, over and over again. I think he is already addicted to it. Try not to bring too much money too. Because you will be tempted to bet more and you might lose more.

I was told that if you were to win you had to quit otherwise you will lose again if you keep on gaming in the unfavorable season. I accompanied my husband and my neighbor to casino just to amuse myself and not for gaming. Lol your dad was lucky to be the winner.:)
