"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."

"Roulette wheels are designed so that consecutive numbers are opposite each other, one opposite two, etc. The wheel also alternates between red and black while the green numbers, 0 and 00 are opposite."

"There is no such thing as a good casino side bet. Side bets are small and casinos hope players will bet a dollar or two and won't realize how much they lose over time."
