14novOverview of the Day November 14, 2020 Daily Overview (Overview of the Day: saturday) EST Event Type:Daily Overview Details Saturday, NOVEMBER 14 The Sun forms a sextile to Pluto and then to Jupiter today, and we can be tapping into our determination to improve or grow. While weekends are naturally the best time for live poker games, there is something to be said about late night weekday poker. Even though it lacks the sheer number of foot traffic going in and out of room, it often features something else entirely: a deadline. Let me paint you a picture. It’s late at night on a weekday.
Many people will be visiting a casino this summer, whether on a trip to Vegas, on a cruise ship, or just at a local casino during a 'staycation.'
But before you go, you may want to know which games give you the best chance of winning.
So we went behind the scene at two casinos, and spoke with the game managers, to find out which games give you an edge.
Online casino pokies australia. Table Games Your Best Bet
Jay Bean, a Caesar's floor manager, agreed to sit down with us and talk about the games with the best odds.
He said many people don't realize that table games have much better odds than slots. They are intimidated by thoughts of card sharks taking their money, with images of an intense Texas Hold 'Em tournament in their minds, and so they stick with the safe games: the slots.
But they are doing themselves a disservice, he said.
Best Time Of Day To Gamble On Slot Machines
Bean's advice? After you've spent some time on the slot machines, move on to the Blackjack table, and start by just observing.
1. Blackjack
Blackjack has the best odds of winning, with a house edge of just 1 percent in most casinos, Bean said.
Plus, you are playing against only the dealer, not hooded poker champions.
'Blackjack is one of our easiest games to play,' Bean said. 'You're just looking for a number that beats the dealer's number without going over 21.'
If you're a novice, Bean said to sit down during a less busy time, such as the afternoon, and the dealer will walk you through the game.
But the same is not true with poker: You should practice the game with your friends first, at home, Bean said, until you are comfortable with it. Bean said novices are best off passing on the poker tables, where yes, the competition can be tough.

2. Craps
So from the Blackjack table, he suggests moving on to the dice game Craps, the game with the second best odds, also nearly 50-50.
The Craps table can be a bit intimidating for the beginner with all the boxes on the table, Bean admitted. But it's really not tough, and it has one of your best chances of winning. In the end, all you are really doing is betting on a dice roll.

3. Roulette
Bean said your next stop should be the Roulette wheel. It's simple, and pays fairly well.
'So you bet on your favorite numbers,' Bean said. 'The dealer spins, and if your number comes in you win.'
If you stick to betting on just Reds or Blacks, you have nearly a 50-50 chance of walking away a winner. If it lands on red when you choose red, you will double your bet, Bean explained.
While it may seem you have an even chance of winning by simply choosing a color, there is one catch that gives the house its edge: the extra green 0 and 00 position on the wheel. It's on all American roulette wheels.
Or, if you feel lucky, play just one number. It's hard to win, but if you do it pays out 36 to 1.

Worst Odds
Your worst odds? The casinos, understandably, did not want to talk about games with poor odds.
So we turned to Forbes Magazine, which in a report about Best Bets at the Casino, said two popular games -- the Wheel of Fortune and the ever-popular slot machines -- have the lowest odds of winning, with a house edge of 10 percent or more.
The Experts Agree
Professor of Analytics Michael Magazine has crunched the numbers, and agreed that blackjack is the best way to go home with money in your pockets. He said if you take a little time to learn the game, you have the best odds of winning.
'You are somewhere between 44 percent to 48 percent in every single hand of winning,' he said, noting that no other casino game gives you odds that good.
But Magazine cautioned that he's not promoting gambling, because he said even games with the best odds still favor the house.
'Play it long enough and you will lose. In the long term the house doesn't lose,' Magazine said.
If You Love The Slots..
Finally, if you really enjoy playing the slots, here is some good information to know, from state casino reports we examined.
With slots, the more money you put in per bet, the higher your chance of winning. If you put the max in a penny machine, which is usually around 50 cents, you have much better odds than if you put in 2 cents.
In addition, penny slots have the lowest odds, with $1 and $5 slots paying much better.
Always gamble responsibly, and don't waste your money.

You never know when the urge to gamble is going to overtake you; However, much like most other things that you do, there is both a right time to gamble and a wrong time!
Best Places To Gamble
Therefore, today I am going to give you a quick run through of when you should only ever consider gambling in any shape or form, and, I will be looking at when you should never give in to the urge to gamble too.
Gambling and drinking alcohol often go hand in hand, but one of the worst times you can ever gamble is when you are drunk or well on the way to being so. Most casinos are going to be giving you free drinks if you are gambling, but when you should always ensure you are in full control of your faculties when gambling, which you are never going to be if you have consumed way too much alcohol.
If you are in a foul temper, for any reason, then that is another time that you should never gamble for you are likely to continue gambling when you should have stopped, and will often be sat there ranting and raving if you are losing when you are in a foul mood angry or annoyed, and no one likes an angry gambler!
Gambling with money that you really cannot afford to lose has often been the ruin of many a gambler, and as such if you cannot afford to gamble, then don’t, no matter how hard the temptation is to gamble.
In fact, if you do not have some surplus cash to gamble with then consider playing in some of the many online and mobile free slot and casino game tournaments as by doing so you will still be getting your gambling fix so to speak but will not be spending any money doing so, and with some luck you could actually win something.
What I am always advising people to do is to set aside a gambling budget for a day, week or month, and then choose how you intend to use that gambling budget and which casinos you are going to play at.
If you are prepared to spread your gambling budget around and carefully plan your gambling sessions then you will find you can often time your gambling sessions when casino sites are offering their money generous promotional offers, and that in turn will allow you to lock in even more playing value.
It is also important that you get into a habit of cashing out some or all your winnings when you are ahead, so try and set yourself a goal of a percentage of your starting back, and if your bankroll increase by that much you make a withdrawal.
Good Days To Gamble
The more times you do learn and manage to cash out some or even all your winnings, the more surplus cash you will then have available when you next fancy gambling at your favour casino site or any type of gambling site for that matter.
