Online casino games

If you get it in a real casino you can bet your bottom dollar than you get it in online casinos. Online slots, Blackjack, Roulette, Keno, Video Poker, Caribbean Poker, etc, etc. There are loads of sites offering these games, so if you love to gamble then you're spoilt for choice.

However, since the idea of this site is to find the genuine ways of making money (mainly online) then I feel obliged to point out that you're not going to do that here. Of course, there's nothing wrong with gambling for fun and improving your odds. Check out Wizard of odds for a comprehensive site on how to do that.

House Edge

With all of these games the house has an advantage, it varies from game to game, site to site and even variation of game to variation of game (eg European Roulette has a lower house advantage than American Roulette). So I wouldn't recommend any of these types of games as a serious way to make money in the long run. Sure you might get lucky and hit the jackpot on the slots, or bet it all on 7 in Roulette and have it come in, but the longer you play the greater your chances of going broke.

Your best bet (no pun intended) with this type of gambling is to do it for a bit of fun. Gamble with money you can afford to lose and look for the sites that offer the best bonuses, or have the lowest house edge.

Systems?

Having said that, there are a couple of systems you can use to improve your odds when playing various casino games. These will work online and in real life.

The Martingale system can be used to improve your odds in an even bet situation. It is often used in roulette systems. When combined with a European Roulette wheel and the 'en prison' rule you can dramatically reduce the house's advantage. Download this free guide to the Martingale system and make up your own mind.

Then there's the roulette sniper that claims to provide a super-precise betting system for winning at roulette. We haven't had a chance to test this yet, so if you do before we do please let us know what you think.

Free your free bonus

One situation where the Martingale system can be particularly useful is if you have been given a bonus by a casino. You normally have to gamble a certain amount in order to release the bonus. By using the Martingale system and your bonus you can turn your bonus into real cash. It is a slow process. Each time you win leave the roulette table and put the real money you have won into a poker cash table. Sit out without playing any hands. Keep going back to the roulette table and betting with your bonus money. By doing this you protect your winnings from being used (and lost) at the roulette table, allowing you to gamble only the bonus money.

Card Counting

A combination of card counting and Strategy tables can help dramatically when playing Blackjack. Obviously if you are card counting in a real casino then you need to be careful not to get caught, because the casinos aren't a big fan of this kind of thing and will most likely kick you out. Luckily, your chances of getting a beating at the hands of mobsters a la Martin Scorcese's Casino are fairly unlikely. Whether card counting is of any real benefit in online casinos is dubious as they can easily shuffle the decks/decks after each hand.
