"The stickman stands across from the dealers and uses a long stick to move the dice around. He directs the flow of the game, calls the roll, and controls bets in the centre section."

"Blackjack tables are felt-covered half circles with room for seven players. Each player has a box or circle in front of them where they put their bet while other chips outside are not in play."

"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."

"Since nearly all bets in the casino carry an EV under zero, you can't only search for positive EV bets. Play the bets with the smallest casino edge and avoid the ones with the largest."

"Bets must be made before a new blackjack hand is dealt. You cannot place a bet or change your bet once the dealing starts, so remember to pick up any winnings before the next hand.'
