"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."

"Everything a casino does is carefully calculated to separate you from your money. Always keep in mind that casinos are businesses, and their business is taking your money from you."

"At a blackjack table, play proceeds right to left, from the player's point of view. When it is your turn, you can make a number of decisions including hit, stand, double-down, or split a pair."

"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.'

"Casinos typically put their wheel of fortune tables right at the entrance to the casino, hoping that suckers will plop some money down as soon as they walk in. You should just keep on walking."
