We are always trying to help our readers find “an edge”. An edge in gambling parlance is something you can do to increase your chances of winning. Obviously we are not talking about cheating or anything underhanded but methods you can use to boost your odds or in some cases simply lower the house edge.
A perfect example of this is finding a good price in regards to a sports bet. If you back a team to win at $2.10 instead of $2.00 then you are in essence being awarded a five percent bonus on your bet.
What about an edge when we talk about casino games? Well, you can always play a better strategy. Blackjack is a perfect example of this as there is always a mathematically “better” way to play any two cards you are dealt against the dealer’s hand.
Another way is to accept the offers casinos are more than willing to give you to reward you for your patronage. The way to do this is by joining up to player rewards programs. One thing many of the Macau casinos are doing is having slot and baccarat tournaments for their regular players. Go and find out how this works and what you need to do to qualify. You might find you have been ignoring a chance to compete for free money.
Keep your eyes open and let us know here at WGM if you find “an edge” that is too good to ignore.
