"The only game where the probabilities change is in blackjack, where every card dealt alters the probability of which card will be next. EV in blackjack can alternate between positive and negative."

"You are not permitted to touch your bet at a blackjack table once the first card of a hand has been dealt. Only the dealer is allowed to touch the chips during a hand."

"When you enter a casino without a plan, you've already lost. Winning players know beforehand what games they are going to play, what stakes they will play, and how much they are willing to lose."

"Casinos never make rule changes that benefit the player; if you see a new rule, it's bad for you. For example, some casinos are starting to pay 6:5 for blackjacks instead of the better 3:2."

"Casinos are smart, they know that luck alone will get you nothing in the long run. That's why they trust the math of casino games while losing players rely more on luck."
