"Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Casino games are designed so that the house usually wins. It's best to think of gambling as fun and any losses as the price of that fun."

"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."

"The bigger the prize, the less likely you are to win it. One to one bets like in blackjack are the easiest to win, while enormous jackpot games also have an enormous house edge."

"Baccarat is a French word, therefore the game is pronounced in French. To sound like a pro: the 't' at the end is silent, while the first syllable should be 'baa' like a sheep."

"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."
