Let me finish up talking about casinos. It is the only place I know where people lose their money and walk away happy. A casino is built and maintained on your losings, not your winnings. Everything about a casino is designed to draw you in and keep you in as long as possible. Why do you think there are not clocks or windows on the walls or ceilings? When you gamble the drinks are free. I would recommend that you only drink if you are going to play slots. Alcohol is one of the biggest advantages the casino has over the players. I've seen plenty of friends and fellow players make terrible moves because they were inebriated. Again, do not drink if you want to win. When you go to a casino the first couple of times, play what you feel comfortable with. Go with someone who knows what they are doing and tag along with them. The second time I ever went to a casino I thought I was a big shot and headed over to the craps table from the instructions my friends had given me at craps. Well, six rolls of the dice and three minutes later I had lost fifty dollars at the measly five dollar table. The first reason I lost was because I did not know how to play. Yes, I am an idiot. The second reason I lost was because I was initmidated being at the craps table. Being scared and clueless is a perfect formula for you to lose your money and I proved that formula to be correct. Before you go to a casino I would read at least one book on the games you want to play, or a just a general book on how to beat the casinos. I've read a book about craps and it amazes me how easy the game is once you understand the game. I will at least read one more book on craps, a book on black jack and a general book on how to beat the casinos before I go back. Reading and expanding your insight on casinos and the games you wish to play will do wonders for your pocket book. You can also practice your skills online for free. There is a site entitled www.games4money.com where you can play craps, blackjack, pai gow poker and numerous other games for free. Click on "Casino Entrance" and then "Play for Free" at the top of the page. Then choose your game and you are ready to play. That is all I have for now, when I come across some new information I will be sure to update this article.
