101 Gambling Tips for the Avid Gambler
Although many of the same gambling strategies you were taught at Las Vegas may be applicable to online gambling, it is important to recognize the significant distinctions. Online gambling can be an enjoyable and lucrative pastime if are familiar with the rules, and some useful suggestions from other players.

Critical Rules to be followed in every Game

1. Never chase after your losses. Don't raise your stakes simply because you are losing.
2. It is not advisable to gamble in any game you're not familiar with. It is crucial to know it.
3. Alcohol and gambling should not be mixed together. It's hard enough to be successful at gambling with impaired senses.
General Guidelines on Money Management
4. There are times when you lose more than you win and the longer you play , the more likely that fact is. This is true regardless of whether you're talking about blackjack hands or the rolling of the roulette wheel.
5. The most important thing to win is to increase your winnings and reduce your losses.
6. Learn and memorize the odds of the specific game you have chosen to play, as well as the most effective strategies you can employ in an effort to maximize your chances of winning in that game.
7. Never bet with your "dear" money. Only bet with your "excessive" money. Also, do not bet with money you will need, or might need for your daily living expenses.
8. If you're competing against others online, this is even more crucial. Once you start playing with "dear" money the other player will be aware of the stress you're feeling and act in a similar way - often threatening you out of a bet because they are aware that you're more tentative with the "dear" money.
9. Make sure you stick to the amount of your stop loss. Divide your betting bankroll in four different sums. Divide each one of them into four smaller sums. You may stop if you lose one of these smaller amounts. If you lose all of the money.
10. Stay calm and don't let your addiction to gambling cause you to gamble with your next allocation.
11. Prepare ahead. When you start a betting session determine the amount that you want to take home (be realistic) when you get to this point, put your money away and walk.
12. If you're winning you can draw a few dollars from your casino bankroll and deposit it into an "do not touch" bankroll to safeguard this portion from any further risk.
13. The house advantage is eternal and cannot be overcome by any financial management strategy. You will always lose more often than you win. You must win more large bets, and lose less on small bets.

Money Management Positive Progress Systems

14. Positive Progression Systems are one that allows you to increase the amount of your bets in the event of winning and decrease the bets when you lose. This system can only be used when you own a conventional betting unit.
15. The "standard" unit of betting should equal an amount of your gambling bankroll for the specific session. If the total bankroll of your session is $100, your standard betting unit could be $10.00. This would allow you to play minimum 10 betting games and not run out of cash, even if you lose all of them.
16. These systems can help you win relatively large amounts during a hot streak , while aiding in minimizing the losses you experience in cold streaks.
17. This strategy lets you add one-half the amount that you win to your next wager. For example, when you play blackjack, If you win a game using the "standard" betting unit of $10.00 you'd be adding $5.00 to bet on the next hand , for a total bet of $15.00. For fun two player games bet that is, you'd add $7.50 to your $15.00 winning hand. If you ultimately lose a hand, return to your "standard" bet of $10.00 for the next hand, and then start the system all over. Of course in practice these increase of 50% are likely to be approximate.
18. A more intricate strategy is to keep your bankroll divided into units, and then place one unit per event. As you win, your total account grows, and each unit will increase and you'll be betting larger amounts. Your betting units and bets decrease as you lose.
19. Create a plan to draw a portion of winnings from your gambling bankroll often to place it in your "do not touch" bankroll. You might, for example taking a portion of your winnings and put it into your "do not touch" bankroll if you have two bank accounts. You can have a very long streak of winnings with a Positive Progress System. Your winnings could increase significantly.

Money Management - Negative Progression Systems

20. A Negative Progression System is one that allows you to increase the amount of your bets in the event of losing and reduce the amount of bets when you are successful. In order to use this method correctly, you will need to set up your "standard" betting unit.
21. The most popular negative progression method is the Martingale System. In this system, you double the amount of your bet in the event that you lose, and then return to the "standard" betting unit in the event that you are successful. For example, at blackjack if you bet $10.00 and lose you would place a bet of $20.00 on the next hand. You would reduce your stake to $10.00 in the event that you are successful. The Martingale method is unsustainable for all types of gambling.
22. This can be a frustrating system because you can only bet on the "standard" unit during hot streaks. In cold streaks, you lose more and more.
23. Keep in mind that you can draw money from your winnings on the gambling bankroll and then keep it in an "do not touch" account.

Roulette

24. American roulette is among the most difficult casino games can be played because the house advantage under normal rules is 5.26 percent or greater.

26. All bets on in American roulette provide the house an advantage of 5.26 percent with only one other exception that is the "0", "00" 1, 2 3 combination bet provides the house a much larger 7.89 percent advantage.
27. All roulette betting systems rely on the false assumption that the outcome of the previous spins could predict the outcome of future spins. Every spin is exactly identical, regardless of whether the system has been altered or is defective.
28. Martingale A negative progression system that's very well-known in roulette betting (see #17). Like all other games, the Martingale used in roulette is guaranteed to fail in the long run.
29. The house edge is so high that, when you're betting to win money or for fun take a the chance to win more bets.
30. Try a modified positive progression method when playing roulette. Divide the amount that you can afford to lose in one session of roulette into 35 "standard" betting units. Choose one number, and place one unit of bet on it. Continue betting one unit on the same number until you succeed or you run out of your bankroll of 35 units. It is possible to win by placing two units on the same number. If you do win, you are able to continue to bet on the same number for another two units until you've exhausted your bankroll. If you win another time take a break!
31. Roulette is slower than other online games. This means it takes longer for you to lose your money.
32. Roulette is not a game in order to win money. The chances of winning are to your advantage. Play roulette only as a way to have fun and have fun without losing lots of cash quickly.

37. Bets that win on either the player or the dealer will both pay the same amount with an additional 5% commission. This is due either at the time of placing the bet or after the player leaves the table.
38. Tie bets typically pay 8-1, with discount of 5.
39. A game with 8 decks has a lower house advantage for "banker bets" than for "tie betting" which is why it makes sense to only bet on the banker.

45. A "hard" hand is one that has an Ace which must be counted as 1 in value in order to keep the hand's value at 21 or less.
46. Players who are new to the game and those with social backgrounds should follow the guidelines of the basic blackjack strategy.
47. Don't be afraid to play the risk of a card that could hurt you. Always be prepared to play the odds and don't let the fear of a bust stop you from taking a card when you know it's the option with the highest probability of success no matter how small that probability may be.
