The Odds of Gambling

March 17, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Before you enter your next casino, you should have an idea of the odds on some of the more popular casino games. People sometimes rely on strategy to win in a casino, but the best strategy is playing the games that give you the best chances to win. Here is a quick list of some of the more popular casino games and a general overview of the odds you can expect.

1) Blackjack

Everyone says that the odds in Blackjack heavily favor the house. The real ratio is about 60 percent wins for the house and 40 percent wins for the players. If you know what you are doing, you can win at Blackjack. One of the more telling odds is that 6 out of 10 players that take a hit on 16 will lose the hand. The dealer gets Blackjack with an Ace showing 3 out of every 10 hands.

2) Keno

Keno is about the simplest casino game available. You pick nine numbers, and then you win based on how many of your numbers match the numbers chosen at random by the computer. The odds of getting all nine numbers correct and winning the jackpot is 1,300,000 to 1.

3) Baccarat

Baccarat is becoming a very popular casino game for high-rollers and average players. The best part about Baccarat is, if you know what you are doing, you can win 50 percent of the time on average. The odds of getting a tie are 1 in 10.

4) Craps

The table of odds on Craps looks like it is skewed in the favor of the player. You have a 6 in 36 chance of getting a seven on a single roll, and only a 1 in 36 chance of getting snake eyes.

Betting in a casino becomes more challenging when you know the odds you are playing against. The best approach is to have a comprehensive understanding of the game you are playing and do your best to come out on top.
