 Breaking the
online gambling myths
Most people who are
well read in casino online gambling know that quite a few of the
common myths gamblers have are mistaken.
As much as people would like to believe slot machines are not
fixed nor are they succumbed to cycles because they operate on a
Random Number Generator – even when playing in online gambling.
Those streaks you see are what mathematicians call "fluctuations
in probability" or, as we normal people say, good or bad luck.
With every spin of the reels in online gambling the chance of
this or that result happening is exactly the same as it was on
the last spin of the reels.
But slot players aren't the only ones who labor under
misconceptions in the online gambling world, it’s also the table
top gamers. The misconceptions and money-losing ideas are still
all there.
One upset gamer, also found by those involved in online
gambling, sent an e-mail that he had played a blackjack game in
Las Vegas.
He wrote: “Mr. Scoblete, you had better rethink your analysis of
the Las Vegas blackjack games. I played that 6-deck game that
you said was the best in the city and I lost my entire buy in.
How could that game be the best when I lost so much so fast?”
A blackjack game or an online gambling blackjack game is judged
on the basis of rules of the particular casino and based on the
penetration the casino gives.
With online gambling penetration, shows how deeply or how
shallow the dealer goes into the deck or shoe before he
shuffles. Deep penetration on the other hand is usually
considered good, shallow penetration is usually considered bad.
This blackjack game that was not online gambling was based on
its penetration would be good for a card counter to play but it
is not good for a basic strategy player to play.
Games that are good for card counters are also good for online
gambling casinos because online gambling casinos deal many more
hands out and these hands are overwhelmingly dealt out to
players who do not have an edge over the casino. This only means
big wins for the online gambling casinos and big time losses for
the players.
When actively involved in online gambling you’ll want to look
for games with poor penetration but good rules.
Another common myth in online gambling is that when you are
playing blackjack, you must always assume the dealer has a
10-valued card in the hole. This especially goes for those who
love online gambling. So if a dealer is showing a 10, you need
to assume he has a 20 and make your hitting and standing
decisions accordingly. Well, not exactly. There are sixteen
10-valued cards and 36 non-10s in a deck of 52 cards. It is much
more likely that the dealer has a non-10 in the hole than a 10,
especially I f his upcard is also a 10.
Basic online gambling strategy decisions are critical.
