Never Play the Outside Horses

I grew up around horse racing. Coming from a family of avid horse racing fans there was always a few things to look for when betting on the right horse. I love playing a sportsbook because I can virtually play any track I want. Not only that but many online sportsbooks have online casinos too.

Though my dad didn’t offer any online casino tricks he sure did have some tricks when it came to horse racing.  One that I always follow is never play the outside horses. They are just too far and wide to close in on the finish line. Only play the top jockeys and never play a horse that has on blinders because they are way to skittish.

The racing form can be complicated to those that are not familiar with it. I mainly follow the odds of the horse for the most part. I generally stay away from horses that are going off at even odds because unless you are going to place a large wager your not going to earn too much money.

I was always told to follow my hunches. Even if the horse is the longest shot in the race, don’t ever ignore your gut feelings. I learned this lesson early on. I remember having a hunch on a horse after seeing it come out of the paddock and it was going off at 50-1. I had a feeling about that horse and placed $10 to win on it and it won paying $500.

Come to think of it dad did offer an online casino trick once. He always said that when playing Video Poker a pair on each end (bookends as he referred them) never win. I have watched that closely and have to admit that 99% the time they don’t win when I hold them.

What works for you when you’re betting on the ponies?

 

 

 

 

Slot Machines That Will Save Your Bankroll

My passion is slots, especially when they offer a great bonus game. Depending on what online casino I play, there is always a machine or two that are looser than the rest. My personal casino trick is to head to these slots when my credits are getting low.

Mayan Queen, a Real Time Gaming (RTG) slot does just that for me. Now this is not fool proof but she has pulled me out of the gutter more than once building my bankroll back to even more than my deposit. One time I was down to a mere $0.22 in my players account. Mayan Queen is a 25 line slot so I didn’t even have enough to wager on all the lines. Yes, I know I shouldn’t have waited so long! The Mayan Queen tipped her scepter in my direction and granted me the bonus round. On that spin alone, I ended up winning $37. Good times.

Another hot slot that helps me out is one of the newest slots, RTG’s Coat of Arms. Like a Knight rushing in to guard my credits, it can lift my spirits and weigh down my pockets in no time.

Just remember that slots that are loose tend to change. I use to rely heavily on Mystic Dragon but quickly realized it was no longer my savior. The online casinos like to keep us gamblers guessing. It’s like the land based casinos when they move around the slots like musical chairs and now you don’t know one machine from the rest. I have had my hot spots and gone back only to find they’ve been moved. Ugh!

This is a casino trick that has helped me out and I definitely think there are those machines that will keep us alive and in the action when the chips are way down.

If you’re unfamiliar with RTG here’s some background.

Roulette is a Numbers Game

Roulette is a game that many players think there are no casino tricks to winning. I personally love Roulette and I learned a trick or two along the way. Sometimes these tricks work and other times there is no cooperation. Of course this all involves taking chances and as gamblers we all take them.

Placing or chips on red or black gives a 50/50 chance of winning. Not bad odds when you think about it. I say put your entire bankroll on a certain color or as high as the table will allow and take chance of doubling up. Think about it, you have a 50/50 chance for sure. You can play all day on slots and not have these odds and end up losing your pants in the end.

Another casino trick I use is watching the board and all the numbers called. I look for patterns. When certain numbers are consistently being called that is a good indicator. Chances are they will pop up again in the next few spins of the Roulette wheel.

Playing online, the numbers are dictated by the Random Number Generator.  Supposedly there is no set pattern but time and time again I can’t help but see particular numbers favored. In this case, I will place my chips all around the number as well as inside. They aren’t guaranteed to hit but I have had my fair share of accomplished wins while pulling these casino tricks out of my hat.

When I play Roulette more conservatively I will play only the corners of each number allowing more opportunities with four numbers to win on. I may only get a quarter of the win but it is a nice way for me to build up my bankroll. Once I have a nice stack of chips then I place my wagers directly on the number to cash in 100%.

Lady Luck is Tricky

Whenever I need lady luck the most while playing online casinos she seems to be missing in action, literally. Being a slot player I have concluded that she tends to gravitate to the craps table. Did you ever notice the cheers and jeers from players in one of the most exciting table games invented? Come to think of it, I can’t really blame her for not coming to my aid every time I beckon her.

I need all the casino tricks I can muster when I’m down to my last few credits. Time and time again I wonder where that little trollop has run off to next. Lady Luck is particular I am certain as she graces her presence on who should win next. She spreads her luck around all of us but sometimes I think she may spread it to thin.

I think it would be best if she reorganizes. Like when I spin the reels and hit the bonus round for a chance at the big jackpot. Lady Luck needs some emergency assistance. Come by lear jet straight into my living room and zap the online casino in my favor.

I wouldn’t mind having her job. Maybe I could strike a deal with the players and get a piece of the pie if show up. Nope, Lady Luck is way too honorable to take bribes. Ah, if I only knew the secrets to get her attention. She sneaks up on me when I least expect and am about to shut the lid on my laptop. The casino trick is here is to know what grabs her attention. The poor thing runs from one gambler to the next and must be a very busy lady for sure.

At least she can rest her tootsies in our homes as we play online casinos away from the madness of land based casinos. Maybe I’ll prepare a big pitcher of sangria and get her a bit tipsy next time she drops by. There I go trying to bribe Lady Luck.
