Beat the Casinos
by: Hein Hayman
Do you have what it takes to become a successful
(and profitable) gambler? Read on and find out:
1. A gambling system
No matter what your game, a gambling system is
being marketed to turn you into a winner.
Unfortunately, 90% of them are built on empty
promises and does not work.
So how do you find a system that works? The
easiest way is to get a personal recommendation from
somebody that you trust, who has used the system
with positive results. Otherwise it is a long, hard
slog through all the promotional rubbish to find a
system that makes sense to you. Don’t just buy the
first one that you see. Do your research and find
out about the creator’s reputation?
A good system does not only include a gambling
system, but also a bankroll system, win/loss
criteria and preferably a flexible approach. I can’t
stress this enough! I have seen so many people lose
their money because they did not have a sufficient
bankroll or their system was not flexible enough to
change if they were losing.
Your system needs to rely on mathematical and
statistical odds to make a consistent profit. If
this is the case, the laws of nature are on your
side! Sure, the gambler playing on gut feel might
win big, but rest assured that he would also lose
big.
So now you have a good system and you are raring
to go and win some money. WAIT, because you might
still lack what I feel is the most important element
of a successful gambler. You need the right mindset…
2. The right mindset
At this point some people will stop reading and
ignore the “mumbo-jumbo”. To them I say all the best
of luck with your gambling and I hope you become
successful. But chances are that they won’t. Sure,
they might win a few hands/pots, but over the longer
term, they will consistently lose.
For those of you still with me, what do I mean by
the right mindset?
Well, for starters, don’t see yourself as a
gambler. Gambling implies relying on luck to either
win big or lose big. See yourself as an investor.
You invest your time and money (bankroll) to make a
profit.
Believe in your system. This is why it is so
important to use a reliable and proven system. You
need to be sure that although a session might end in
a loss, you will recoup the loss in the next few
sessions.
Let us look at an example: In your first session
you make a profit of $100. In your second session
you make a loss of $200. So your net loss will be
$100.
At this point many people quit and whinge about
the system not working as it is supposed to. What
they don’t realise is that the next three or four
sessions might net them $400 profit. So not only do
they lose a system that might make them consistent
profits, but they lose $100 as well!
Calculate your winnings and losses in units. Why?
Well, if you play with $1 chips, then wagering two
or three chips (units) is not a big deal. What about
playing with $20 chips? All of a sudden you are
wagering $40-$60 on a single play. Your mind tells
you that you are staking a lot of money, which in
turn causes you to have doubts about your system.
This is where people start to play too carefully and
not follow their system. End result: they lose the
money. If your system worked with $1 chips, there is
no reason for it not to work with $20 chips.
Remember to always wager amounts supported by your
bankroll.
3. Casino bonuses
The last weapon in your arsenal is casino
bonuses. What a great way of making money by using
the casinos’ money against them! Obviously there are
a lot of requirements associated with this. I mean,
why would the casino give you free money? Discussing
these requirements would be and article or two on
its own! However, why don’t you sign up for the free
e-mail course “How to make consistent profits from
gambling” by clicking here –
mailto:profits3456@aweber.com. This course will
show you how to use casino bonuses to make some
extra cash.
If you implement and developed the points
mentioned above, you will already be ahead of the
majority of gamblers and on well your way to beat
the casinos.
Best of luck (although you won’t have to rely on
it!)
