The theme of this article is losing less. Good theme. Making moves to lose less is the same as comparison shopping for goods, services, and entertainment. In blackjack, the advice is to learn basic strategy and limit your exposure to the house edge by playing at full tables where you’ll play fewer hands. Check and check on that advice (there’s also a bonus bathroom play that makes sense). The advice is similar for craps. There’s an unexplained strategy of the author betting more on himself (and partners). I assume this has to do with the idea of controlled dice rolling. That’s a different subject that won’t be pertinent to the majority of readers of this article, although I do like the suggestion that you roll the dice when given the opportunity (it’s fun). The roulette strategy of sticking to even-money bets doesn’t change the house edge, but reduces the variance while playing, so sessions will tend to last longer.

SAVING MONEY AT THE CASINOS IS A GOOD THING
I am a conservative player and I play all the time. Many trips of mine to the glamorous casino cities and counties can last upwards of 130 days. I am very much aware that what I am doing is flirting with Lady Luck and that the casino has structured its games to beat me and every other player now, and then, and usually always.
This fact I must battle as best I can. And I do. All casino players must do this. That is our lot in gaming life.
I look at playing in two ways. One is to save money as best I can by approaching games in such a way as I am not spending as much of my hard-earned cash as the casino would like me to. Second is to play the best strategies the best way that I can. That means I eliminate games that I just can’t really see myself beating in any decent amount of time. In short, the long run is the casinos’ territory.
