• "Although roulette has a relatively high house edge, you can play for longer because an average table only sees about thirty spins an hour, compared to sixty games an hour for blackjack."

  • "Casinos are pretty predictable, they all have the same colours for the same chips. $1 chips are white or blue, $5 chips are red, $25 are green, $100 are black, $500 are purple, and $1,000 are orange."

  • "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."

  • "The big six wheel is a pure sucker game, with the house edge ranging from a whopping 11% for the best $1 bet to an astounding 24% on the special bets."

  • "One of the reasons casinos use chips on the tables is that they seem less like money and more like toys. But remember, they are worth exactly the same as real cash, and should be treated accordingly."
