Gambling 102: The Best Strategies for All Casino Games

Hi Wiz,

How's your short game?

:)

I'm thinking of adding your book to my collection - do you have a chapter list or quick synopsis, please, as there's no additional info on Amazon.com?

Cheers!

My short game is the least terrible part of my game.

Nobody has ever asked me that before about my book. It pretty much devotes a chapter to all the major casino games. Kind of like a summary of my web site.

So Texas Hold 'Em is covered?

Cheers!

I just have a few pages on it.

I have The Wizard's book, Gambling 102, in my collection.
Nice book to have. Cuts down on time searching WoO site.
Here is an image of the Contents page. I hope the Wizard does not mind.
Should be typed out so searches can pick it up.


A question is about the Big Six prediction strategy on page 12.
This might actually make for an interesting thread.

Would you care to show how you calculated a player's advantage by correctly predicting better than a 65% rate on what half of a Las Vegas wheel would be hit?
If yes, I guess we could show what is written as I have not seen this over at the WoO site.

A very interesting approach I must admit.

The Big Six wheel sometimes under other monikers was often located at the entrance way to a carnival. It would draw the rubes and the women who were too timid to venture any further. In a casino it still has the location and reputation that it earned in earlier decades. Its for simpletons and is beneath the attention of a real gambler.

So I was very impressed to see that someone had paid attention to it and analyzed it. The two issues: alternating directions of spin and perceived bias were interesting.

The ability or else "ability" to correctly predict which half of the wheel will contain the winner allows a bet on the highest payout symbol. I don't think I'd want to play this of course but it was an interesting read..

Me too.
I have owned the book for a few years and only read that section after a gentleman I met in Vegas recently claimed to win big at the Golden Nugget downtown, where I am familiar with, using a strategy where he only bet the 40 to 1 payouts. Yeah right I told him.

I have NEVER even looked at a Big Six wheel and table up close but certainly did after his TALL tale.

I searched the net for anything about gaining an advantage on the wheel and found nothing.
I picked up the Wizards book to look up something about NFL betting and hello.

I cant for the life of me grasp how to do the math. Maybe the Wizard will share his method.

I have a friend that does casino night parties and actually has a casino regulation Big Six wheel and is doing a party close to my house tomorrow night. He said I can come and have fun with it for 4 hours if I wish.
Hey, a free party, food, drinks and a bit of a study. Why not!
