With basic blackjack strategy the house edge yielded is 0.5%. But Don Johnson has proven that you can still beat the house. Now, the first time Din Johnson placed his bets at the Tropicana Atlantic City, the casino allowed him to make $100,000 bets for over 12 hours! On average, most players would have lost money because they would have been at the table long enough for the house edge to take effect. But Don Johnson just proved all theory wrong.

After his long session at the Tropicana, Don was actually up $5.8 million! Don Johnson became an instant blackjack legend. Don returned to the Tropicana at the end of 2011 and the beginning of 2012 and earned collective profits of $4 million. In all Don Johnson earned as much as $9.8 million from his Tropicana visits alone. The blackjack star has been visiting many other casinos and has been causing big dents in the casinos earning! Now the only question on everyone’s mind is how does he do it?

Casinos are very strict about card counting and have technology and floor managers to ensure that no one is cheating the house. And anyone like Don Johnson would know that beating the system would be impossible. Don has repeatedly denied that he counts cards. He states that he simply uses basic blackjack strategy to beat the house. And since the dealers have been closely watching to see if Don is counting cards and have not thrown him out so far, we just have to believe that he is in fact telling the truth.

Have you heard of ‘sleeping numbers’? Well certain numbers that haven’t been hit for a while are said to be ‘sleeping numbers’. The same is the case for the color of the number that hasn’t won for a while. Many players place bets on these numbers because they believe that the ball ‘is bound to find them at any time’. Well a roulette table has 37 numbers and for obvious reasons some numbers will not see some action for a while so there is no guarantee that betting on them will bring wins in the next spin.

One of the most common myths in online casino roulette is betting on your lucky numbers. Many players believe that betting on their lucky numbers will help them win. People in the west believe that 7 is a lucky number and you will often find bets made on numbers with the digit 7. Other players bet on their birth dates, wedding dates, their lucky football t-shirt number and all sorts of numbers. This may not really bring any guaranteed results, but it certainly makes the game fun.

Another popular myth that players love to hang on to is that the roulette betting systems work. Many players, in their tireless attempts to beat the game, have developed certain betting systems like the Martingale system. These systems tell you to place double your bets every time you lose. According to the system, if you win you will end up winning a much bigger amount. But what they don’t tell you is that you can go on a long losing streak and since you are doubling your bets after each loss, you can end up losing your entire bankroll much faster. Roulette betting systems offer no guarantees for winning and you should think twice before trying out such betting systems.

The happy couple declared that they have been directing all of their optimistic thoughts into their lotto ticket purchases that week immediately after going through what they quote as a “rotten” previous year. One of many unpleasant things that happened during this period include losing a close member of the family as well as the man breaking his cranium following a terrible fall from a ladder whilst working. The accident left him unable to hear from one ear, but with all these negative experiences comes a new lease of luck. Now the pair can celebrate with a brand new house, a luxury cruise to make up for the pain of the past, and a shiny new Mercedes to make the most of their new lives without having to work. Very lucky people indeed, and all this from the power of positive thought! Now pardon me whilst I go and meditate…

The government of the province has been in discussions around the idea for quite a reasonable amount of time now, and has continually requested responses from the online casino gambling industry, fully involving them in any potential new jurisdiction. Unfortunately the effort is still nevertheless waiting for a significant obstacle in the form of the Information Technology (Due diligence observed by Intermediaries Guidelines) Rules 2011 as passed by the Indian federal government in early 2011. This involves all internet-related companies within India, including internet service providers, requiring them to aid in combating the growth of socially inappropriate material, which sadly includes gambling.

Casino is without doubt one of the most well-known films in this genre, starring such big personalities as Joe Pesci, Robert DeNiro, and Sharon Stone.

No list of this nature would be complete without at least mentioning 21. Based on a true story (yes, really) this film revolves around the tale of a tech savvy group of students from everyone’s favourite technical college MIT. If you’ve ever dreamed about card counting, or better yet attempted it yourself, then this is the film for you.

And finally, my personal favourite; the absurdly hilarious hit comedy The Hangover. This film doesn’t even come close to emulating the real casino experience, but a barrel of laughs is always welcome after a hard day at the office. This one really helps me get into a chilled out mood, whilst providing non-stop adventurous fun for anyone with a sense of humour.
