On the escalator going up was a mature man in the jacket and tie ,- an odd sight now he wasn't wearing a casino ID. From the look in the guy's eye,. I could tell dinner was going to be a Couple of Minutes late Before he called out, Hey John, obtained a moment?" . Sure, I said, and waited in the bottom while he finished up the ride, then changed escalators. I've a question for you, he began. My partner and I've been hashing this out for several days, I think. Gambling with money you need is news that is bad.
Necessities of life come gambling money should come out from the entertainment budget. Obviously, he said. Perhaps need is the wrong way to place it. But if I needed to double my money, what will I play? I'm thinking the game with the lowest house edge, so I'm saying blackjack, but my partner says craps would be better.". I stayed in cautionary mode. Odds are I go broke. But let us say this is money you do not need. However if you double it, you may get something you actually want.
Then what's it? Blackjack or craps? ". It was time to answer the guy's question, but I'd among my own. Can it be sufficient to NEARLY? If he began with $100, was it Okay to walk away with $195, compared to $200? Sure, that is fine, he said. Close enough for me.". Then I'd perform baccarat, I advised him, and put all the cash on one hand, gambling on banker. Why baccarat? he asked. I thought it would be better to bet on one of the games with a low edge.". Baccarat has a low house advantage of its own, I advised him, at 1.17 percent on banker or 1.36 percent on player.
That compares favorably to the 1.41 percent on pass and 1.4 percent on do not pass on craps, or the 2 to 2.5 percent advantage against an average blackjack player. Now which do you play? ". Still baccarat. That is not true in either blackjack or craps. Either you personally double your money, minus the commission, or you personally lose it. You've better than a 50-50 shot. But still, would not it be better to bet lower, and take a great deal of chances to take a hot streak, that to bet all of it at once? ". If I am out for a day in the casino, then sure, it is better to keep my risk in a minimum.
