To maximize your chances of winning, you must absolutely avoid games that carry a massive casino advantage.

The ‘house edge’ dictates exactly how much money the casino expects to keep from every wager over the long term.

Blackjack: The King of Low Edge

No other game allows the player to reduce the casino’s advantage as dramatically as standard 21.

You must memorize and execute perfect basic strategy on every single hand to achieve this 0.5% edge.

• Always check the rules before sitting down; a table that pays 6-to-5 on a blackjack is a terrible trap
• Only play at tables that offer the traditional 3-to-2 payout for a natural blackjack
• The fewer decks used in the shoe, the better the mathematical odds are for the player

Finding Value Beyond the Blackjack Table

If you do not want to memorize complex strategy charts, Baccarat is the absolute best alternative available.

Alternatively, certain variations of Video Poker (like 9/6 Jacks or Better) offer an edge of less than 0.5%.

The casino relies on players being ignorant of the math; don’t be one of those players.
