How to be a player that wins more
February 16, 2007
The reasons for people gambling are many; the excitement, the vacation, but one of the main reasons is the one of leaving the casino in a great style, as a big winner. Now, we are wondering if there is a way (other then cheating) to leave the casino as the winner of the great jackpot, with more cash than you had when you walked in the casino. My answer to that question is “Yes, you can!”
Whether you want to believe or not, playing in an online casino you can gather enough experience over a game so that when you’ll go in a casino you’ll leave as the ‘Big Winner’.
The online casinos provide for its customers, besides the 50 cents games, free practice rooms, where you can play with a set amount of money, but no real money. In these free practice rooms you can play most of the casino games, such as Blackjack, roulette, poker, baccarat…
Playing for free you can gain experience on the rules of the game and most important, you get the experience of playing against other people (not a computer) and you learn to observe their betting routine to look for patterns, called tells. It’s true that this is not so important for games like roulette, but in a game of poker this is an important aspect, because these tells can reveal your opponent hand trough his involuntary actions.
An example of these involuntary actions can be the way a player organize his cards. Or the way he’s playing with his chips when he has a good hand, or he is scratching his nose when he is bluffing and so on. There are a lot of tells that can betray players actions.
Also, in a free practice room you can learn how to manage your bankroll, without leaving with empty pockets, which at first for sure it will happen.
When you learn to gamble in a casino, one of the major problems is that the dealer and your opponents are not forgiving. What do I mean by this? For example, in a roulette game, a beginner it’s possible to don’t know that until all winnings are placed on the table he is not allowed to take his winnings. The dealer for sure will warn him about that, but this can make him feel very uncomfortable.
This is why playing in an online casino at first can be a better choice. You get down on the rules, procedures and the playing etiquette required in land based casinos.
If you prefer playing poker, here you have a situation a bit different. Poker is not a game that mostly depends on luck and where knowing only the basics is enough. Poker is a game that also depends on knowledge and in poker you play against other players who already have that knowledge.
After you spend some time online and you feel confident enough go in a casino and for a while try to observe how the others play. You should find a poker table where the other players are less skilled than you are. But, be careful about this, because most of the times players try to create a false confidence impression about themselves. As you feel you gathered more and more experience move to higher stakes tables and play against better players.
