"In order to keep the house edge, casinos offer games where they win outright more often or they offer games where the player may win more often, but doesn't get paid the true odds."

"Turing a card over 10 times will statistically result in 5 reds and 5 blacks. If you bet $1 each time with this house edge, you would win $4.50 but lose $5. In the long run, you expect to lose $0.50, or 5% of your money."

"Every casino game is based on strict mathematical and statistical principles. The casinos certainly don't try to play by instinct or feeling, and neither should you; know the mathematical strategy behind the game."

"The roulette wheel is always kept spinning at a constant rate, even if no one is currently playing. The ball is spun in the opposite direction in order to ensure more randomness in the result."

"The simplest, yet worst way to leave a casino is when you've lost all your money. It's hard to walk away when you are up, but the best gamblers learn how to maintain discipline and keep their winnings."
