Default Q for all you Gamblers.

So what do you all play in Vegas and what has the best odds. I hear roulette (sp?) has one of the best odds since it is almost 50/50. I personally play slots since I'm so impatient. Stupid I know as slots have the worst odds. Although I haven't won the on my last two trips, I've consisently won close to $2K on my previous 3 trips out there.

Any tips???

The house has a tad over 5% advantage on a 00-0 roulette wheel. One of the worst odds games for a player.

Baccarat, craps (if you play right) and blackjack have the best odds.

My favorite is Caribbean Poker--which I'll gladly play with someone else's money!

With my money I stick with Blackjack and do pretty well.

On a sad/humorous side note--I knew a fellow who has something of a gambling problem. Last time he was at a casino he managed to lose all his cash and due to bankruptcy had no credit cards. He didn't have money to get out of the parking garage and had to have someone wire him the money. He was/is a slot junkie. Stay away from slots!

To clarify on baccarat....

Bacarrat would have the best odds if the house did not take a cut. You are guaranteed to lose 5% to house commission when you bet on banker so there goes your edge right out the window.

If you can count cards well, you can get over a 50% edge in blackjack, and then second bets odds are craps, betting the "Don't Pass" and taking maximum odds behind your bet.

Now I have a question too.

When you go gambling, how much to you allot yourself to play with? ie..how big is the roll of benjamins in your pocket?
