"The mathematical probability of something happening is its true odds. Casinos maintain their advantage by paying players less than the true odds of their wins."

"Betting on the banker in baccarat has a mere 1.06% casino edge, but the casino charges a 5% commission on it. The casino has a 1.26% edge on player bets and a huge 14.36% edge on tie bets."

"Every table game has its own maximum and minimum allowable bets, which are always indicated by a small sign on the table. Often the sign colour corresponds to the same colour chip, $5 tables are red, etc."

"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."

"The minimum table limit at a roulette table is the same whether you make inside or outside bets. On the other hand, because you can win more, inside bets often have a lower maximum limit."
