Online Gambling Games

Most people think that gambling and losing are synonymous. Well it shouldn’t be. One simply has to gamble smart.

Smart online gambling means carefully choosing the games and playing them to the best advantage possible. Common sense dictates to play with the games that offer the lowest house edges where the players can actually employ some sort of strategic thinking in order to have a chance to beat the game.

This means that games of chance are out. They are too random and players cannot possibly use any sort of strategy against them. There are simply no ways for the player to predict or influence the outcome of these games.

Online casino games such as slots, roulette, craps or other games of chance are simply there for players who just want to have some fun. There are no near misses in these games so players should only enjoy these in moderation.

Some argue that playing craps in real casinos, the dices can be controlled. True or not that's anybody's guess but physics and sleight of hand play no part in online casinos as the actual outcome of the roll is decided by a random number generator at the moment of the click of the mouse.

Card games however have an element of player interaction where gamers can make decisions, possibly influencing the outcome. Classic example of this is blackjack of course. It is one of the most popular card game and for a good reason. Played with optimum strategy, you can easily get even playing online Blackjack.

There are many books and websites discussing optimum online blackjack strategy. Do your research and spend some time practicing at the free online blackjack tables.

Online casinos also let you count the cards without risking punishment. It is illegal in real casinos to use any devices that help players to count cards at blackjack. In case you didn’t know, card counting means keeping track of what's been dealt and increasing the bets when the deck is rich in aces and face cards.

We are not discussing playing online poker here because it is a thinking man's game and cannot be considered as gambling.
