Acquire
Skills at Home Before You Expose Your Hard Earned
Money
-- Dear Mark: Before going to the casino I run practice
hands on the kitchen table. The problem with this
method is that play in a casino on both video poker
machines and blackjack is much faster. Any suggestions?

Always
think two percent or less
-- Dear Mark,
You mentioned in a previous column that players
should never make a hard way bet on a crap game.
Why not? Norman G… more»
Analogies
of greed and pomposity
-- Dear Mark,
On my last six trips to Gulfport, MS, I've come
home a winner playing slots. I believe it's beyond
luck now. I just have this certain feeling when
to play a particular machine. I've been so successful
lately that I feel I should go to dollar machines,
or higher, versus the quarter ones and win even
more money. Am I on to something here? Jon S… more»
Are
birthday numbers really luckier?
-- Dear Mark,
In a past column you stated that you only play the
lottery when the jackpot approaches true odds plus
playing quick-pick (random) numbers. I can see your
first point, but I, like most people, play my family's
birthday numbers because of the luck factor. What
is wrong with that?… more»
Bad
checks, loaded dice and coin flips
-- Dear Mark,
Trick question. If a friend and I flip a coin in
the air and bet on its result, would the coin be

Bankroll
to bankrupt in three minutes
-- Dear Mark,
I see your logic, if you call it logic, but it isn't.
What you are describing is called the Martingale
System, a historic name for doubling up after every
loss. In essence, you the gambler double your previous
bet (after a loss) to recoup that loss plus win
back your initial wager… more»
The
name is Bond, James Bond
-- Dear Mark,
Since I don't gamble very often and chances of losing
eight in a row are very remote, don't you think
it's logical to double my wager every time I lose?

Bring
your kids-sort of
-- Dear Mark,
I wish I had read a past column you wrote called
Split Decision before I made a recent trip with
my family to Las Vegas. I was appalled at the amount
of handbills advertising sex being pushed down my
throat on the Strip right in front of the MGM Grand.

Las Vegas? Clifford M… more»
Buffets
are a Nevada State treasure
-- Dear Mark,
I enjoy going to Las Vegas not only to gamble but
to feast on all the different buffets. Why do you
think they don't offer buffets with the same fanfare
in the Midwest casinos as they do in Las Vegas?

Casino
loyalty deserves slot club compensation
-- Dear Mark,
I understand the latest rave in slot play is joining
a slot club. Numerous casino slot hosts continue
to approach me asking if I would be interested in
participating. I don't want to waste my time filling
out applications, but, I reward myself by searching
out 9/6 video poker machines that pay a decent return.
Am I missing something? George R… more»
