"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."

"The most common casino bet is an even money bet where you get one chip for every chip you bet. So if you bet one chip, you get your original chip back, plus an additional chip."
