Advantage Play
Many methods of advantage play exist. Some follow:
Blackjack Blackjack can be
beaten with card counting, hole-carding,
shuffle-tracking, ace-sequencing, hand-interaction and related methods.
See card-counting software,
shuffle-tracking and ace-sequencing software
and hole-carding.
Spanish 21/Pontoon Spanish
21 and Australian Pontoon can be beaten with card counting and hole-carding.
Katerina Walker's new book, The Pro's Guide to Spanish 21 and Australian
Pontoon, is the definitive study of Spanish 21. See Books.
Pai Gow Poker PGP can be beaten
with the correct strategy if you are allowed to bank often enough. This
situation is far more likely in California than Las Vegas. See Pai
Gow Poker software.
Caribbean Stud Poker & 3 Card Poker
CSP and 3CP can be beaten with hole-carding. See James Grosjean's
Beyond Counting. (Out of print at the moment. There is a copy at
the library of UNLV.)
Video Poker A small number
of video poker games can be beaten by the use of strategy cards. Some
progressive slot machines can eventually have a high enough jackpot to
offer a positive return.
Poker Poker is a game of skill
and is highly profitable for the best players. It is a good way to lose
money for the less-than better players.
Roulette I believe Roulette
can be beaten with visual prediction methods, although these are difficult.
See Laurance
Scott's site.
Sports Sports handicapper's
can get the edge in some sports. Also, there are situations where arbitrage
bets can be made placing bets at different bookmakers who are offering
different lines. See NFL Football
Software.
Horse Racing Parimutuel games
can be beaten because you are betting against other players most
of whom are very poor handicappers.
Online Casinos and Sports Books
Bonus Hustling has been used to make profits from online casinos and books.
Although this is now more difficult. See BeatWebCasinos.Com by
Bill Haywood at Books.
Tournaments Tournament play
is very different as you play against other players. Skilled tournament
players enjoy a substantial edge.
Coupons Match play coupons
and the like can be used to substantially increase your odds.
Comp hustling Comp hustling
is related to online bonus hustling but for bricks and morter casinos.
The idea is to play such that your comps are worth more than you lose.
But, you really don't walk away with a real profit. See books by Max Rubin.
If all else fails Buy a casino.
