3. Practice, Practice, Practice. Use training
software. I can't emphasize how important this is; you
must count the cards correctly . It is better to play
the basic strategy correctly than an advanced one incorrectly. The
time and money you spend on training software will pay off in the
casino.
By following these steps you will be able to beat the Casino at its own game! More Tips to Help You WinChoose the right table to play at- When most of the players at a table seem to winning this is a good indication the deck currently favors the player. If you notice that the players at a table seem to be winning a lot and have a lot of chips piled up, then join in the action. Likewise, if you notice the dealer has a lot of chips and the players seem to be doing more losing than winning you should keep looking for a better table or if you are already playing at that table you should think about leaving and looking for more favorable conditions at other tables. Tip the dealer if you are winning- If the dealer knows he will be tipped when the players win he may begin rooting for you to win and actually do subtle things to help you, such as performing less thorough shuffles and penetrating deeper into the shoe before he re-shuffles (allowing the players to get a more accurate count of the cards). If the dealer starts losing too much money for the casino the pit boss will likely change dealers; reward a good dealer when you find one and make it worth his effort to help you.
Choose games with favorable rules- While it may be impossible to find the perfect game, where all the rules favor the players; you should be familiar with how certain rules the house uses can effect you.
