You can find single zero wheels sometimes

I second the craps comment.

Another game I have fun with is 3 card poker but the odds aren't as good as some other games.

When I'm going to the casino I'm going to have fun not get rich

Retrograde Need Some Gambling Input Some of the best odds in the casino is red and black.


Wrong....

As a general rule the easier the game, the worse the odds

I've always heard the best odds in the casino is maxing the odds on the pass/don't pass line of the craps table


I think the don't pass line has ever so slightly better odds but not many people bet it

someone explain to me why you guys are arguing about odds on different bets for a table game in which the house edge is fixed. The house makes 2/38 or 5.3% of every bet on average. You can bet whatever you want, that number doesn't change

Bet on the 1-12, 13-24, 25-36 Those pay 2:1 If you place a bet on two of those, you have a 66.6% chance of winning on one of them and still getting a return on your money even though you are guaranteed to lose on one of your bets. So if you put down $10 on first 12 and $10 on 2nd 12 and one of them hits, you win $20 on your winning bet and lose the $10 on the losing bet so you still take in $10 It seems an improvement over the odds of betting on red or black where it is only 50/50 I am also assuming they let you bet on more than one of the options, I don't usually go to the roulette table. Maybe I should..


No, you shouldn't.

You forgot that if the ball lands on the third then you lose both your bets. So your real expectation here is:

2/3 * 10 - 1/3 * 20 = 0

So it's still a 50/50 proposition, just like red/black.

Oh, and one fun fact that might also steer you away from roulette - the sum of all the numbers = 666.

My best advice is learn how to play craps. Then go to the table that's the busiest and play one way around. Bet small till the shooter gets hot. You can play for a long time and if your smart you come away with money more than you dont

Don't forget the greens. That's my advice. Had a time when a friend and I were at a table and had a string of a few blacks in a row. He did the double your bet strategy on red for the next 4 blacks, losing everytime. On the 7th black in a row, he put everything he had on red. Green, he loses everything
