How about the secrets
of choosing a profitable casino?
A casino that will
maximize both your profits and your entertainment expectations is extremely
important. A lot of people end up at casinos due to the proliferation
of "fun books" that are mailed or given out at tourist bureaus.
These coupons will
give you free hot dogs, drinks or coffee cups. But is this really the
best method to choose a casino?
Wanna know the secrets
that craps pros use to choose their most profitable casino?
Let's find out!
If you play craps
for profit, you need to carefully choose a resort that will maximize
your comps while offering favorable playing conditions. For example,
some casinos offer 100X odds while others offer only 2X odds. And, some
casinos offer comp credit for your spread rather than for individual
bets. Both of these are terrific advantages for the craps player.
However, after you
have finished playing for the required amount of time and get your "free"
meal or show, you might find that this is not exactly what you wanted.
For example, say you visit a particular casino that offers 100X odds
but they have standard rooms, no major show, and there is only one mediocre
restaurant. Even though this casino offered superior playing conditions,
you're bound to get tired of going there several times a year.
Another casino offers
only 2X odds, however, they offer a superior show, five different restaurants,
and a Jacuzzi suite. Although this casino's craps policies are less
favorable than the first one, you might end up getting more value for
your money in the long run.
Now, before you
gamble, you should call a casino on their 800 number and ask to speak
to a casino host. Tell him (or her) that you would like to try their
casino out. Ask about the different restaurants, shows, and rooms they
offer. Ask if they base comps on individual bet or spread. Ask about
the minimum bets and play required to get a free room. Write down the
answers and call the other casinos you're interested in, so you can
make an accurate comparison. The "ideal" casino is different
for every crapshooter.
A friend of mine
smokes cigars and chooses his casino by the brands of cigars that are
offered as comps. Someone else might only want to stay in a hotel that
offers a Jacuzzi, or an adjustable bed. Perhaps you would like a casino
that has several different room floor plans, or one that has two shows
instead of just one. One resort might have a terrific Chinese restaurant,
while another might have a good Italian one.
In many casinos
the high odds being offered do not compensate for the inferior quality
of comps. Quite often, a casino offering 2X odds might be a better deal
than one offering 100X odds.
Pssst... Now you
know the secrets of choosing a profitable casino.
