"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."

"Ideally, you want to bet big when you are winning, and small when you are not. This is harder to do than you think because you can never be sure when a streak is going to end."

"When playing blackjack with more than two decks, all the players' cards are dealt face-up from a device called a shoe and everyone can see them. Touching your cards is prohibited."

"Casinos like churn, which is the term casinos use when players continue playing with their winnings. Remember, the longer you play, the more likely the casino is to separate you from your money again."

"The cost of playing in a casino can be deceiving. Unlike going to the ballet where the price is set, the price of casino gambling can change quickly and can be impossible to predict."
