One of the hands that often confound blackjack players is when they are dealt a soft 17. Should I stand or hit? What about doubling down? What follows are the facts on how to play this hand accurately every time you playblackjack.First, let me review some basics.A soft hand is any hand that contains an ace that is counted as 11. For example, an ace-6 is a soft 17; so is ace-3-3 and 2-2-ace-2. The basic playing strategy for, say, an ace-6 is much different than it is for a 10-7 (known as a hard 17 because It doesn’t contain…

Human beings love to gamble. We’ll put our money down on spinning reels, card games, tumbling cubes of ivory, horses, dogs, sporting contests, flips of a coin – even digital representations of any of the above.But in an age when legal gambling is commonplace in many countries and online wagering – either legal or illegal -- is just a click or two away, why do people continue to patronize risky underground casinos, bet on sports with neighborhood bookies or take a seat at a card game where the “House” is the guy with the big roll of $20s in his…

Note in the title of this article that I put the word best in quotes (“best”) because despite my use of the word not one of these systems of play yields the player an advantage over the house. That’s the truth and smart roulette players are fully aware of the fact that other than playing a biased wheel (something almost impossible to find nowadays with our much more sophisticated wheels), betting strategies are the be-all and end-all of play.

Ocean’s Eleven was one of the biggest grossing movies of the 21stcentury, and while most patrons went to watch George Clooney, Matt Damon and Julia Roberts, it left plenty of others wondering what security is really like in large casinos. Is it really possible to rob a casino? A very small number of heisters have gotten away with it, but casino robberies are much harder to pull off these days. Since casinos have such a huge amount of money on hand, they - naturally - have very strict security protocols to make it very difficult for crooks to rob them.…

There have now been three court decisions (and two appeals) in three distinct jurisdictions regarding the question of whether edge sorting at mini-baccarat is advantage play. In every case the decision came down on the side of the casino without a determination of criminal cheating. As Phil Ivey's expert in the Crockford's case, I obviously fall into the "edge sorting is advantage play" camp. However, after these decisions, it's a matter of making sense of the verdicts and working outward from there. As a reminder, there are two versions of baccarat. In one, the players can touch the cards. In…

Next time you find yourself at a live blackjack table, adding and subtracting ones as you count your way through a shoe of cards, and, hopefully make a bit of money in the process, take a moment between hands to thank Edward O. Thorp. He is the university math professor turned stock-market genius who invented card counting, wrote a bestselling book called “Beat The Dealer” and can be considered the father of modern advantage play.Four years before the 1962 publication of Thorp’s book, he was contemplating ways of beating roulette and had already created the world’s first basic-strategy card –…

When you are at the casino, there is only one sure fire way to win every time you play, and that is to cheat. And Dustin Marks is arguably the most successful casino cheat in the history of casino gaming. Even though Marks cheating career only lasted a little over 4 years, he and his confederates were able to take casinos for tens of millions of dollars over this short period of time. His schemes were carried out daily and his scores reached as high as $150,000 dollars a night. This 4 year span took place approximately 25 years ago…

It’s one thing to playblackjack at an advantage. It’s quite another to indulge in the game when sitting alongside James Grosjean.A Harvard graduate with a specialty in applied math, adeptness at computer programming and the kind of astute mind that makes him into every casino’s worst nightmare, Grosjean ranks among the world’s most successful gamblers and a living blackjack legend. He always plays with a considerable advantage, laughs at card counters who are thrilled by garnering measly two-percent edges: “They are the equivalent of salamanders and I am a fully formed human”, he once told me, getting evolutionary and a…

In casino gaming there are a variety of mathematical based systems that are touted as a sure fire way to beat the casino. This is especially true for roulette. While some systems can be applied under a very specific set of circumstances, most can’t be applied over an extended period of time. When they are, the roulettesystem fails and the player usually lose the game. There is however one method of attacking roulette that can be applied over an extended period of time, when done correctly, gives the player a positive outcome. That system is the Kesselgucken roulette system. Kesselgucken…

In this article I will explain a couple of interesting “roulette tricks” to use at the game ofroulette. Mind you, these cannot give you a mathematical edge but they are fun to play and using my money management advice they might reduce the overall negative expectation of the game. Roulette and craps are probably the two oldest games that are now found in our modern casinos and on anyonline casino. Actually, dice games were played all the way back to Caesar’s time – and perhaps even further into the past than that. Those bones people rolled were from sheep and…
