Saving Money in the Casino

14 May 2024

In short, over time – a little time (even one decision), a medium amount of time (whatever the definition of that is) or a somewhat longer time, the player must ultimately lose.ABBY: That is our lot in life as casino players.CINDY: That is not to say that a player playing the proper strategies doesn’t have a chance to win, now and again, because that player can keep the game somewhat close against the casino but in the end…well, it’s the end.ABBY: All the games have potential traps; situations where the player can face a misstep and come crashing down in defeat...read more
