Indeed it was the gamblers who brought into being mathematical and statistical discipline – the probability theory. They were naturally interested in their winning chances when gambling. One of the most famous probability problems is connected with the passionate gambler Chevalier de Mere and is dated back to the year 1654.

Great emphasis has been put mainly on Roulette – the Queen of casino games, Craps – the most famous dice game and Poker – the game of great skills and its two classic forms Poker Draw and 5-Card Stud, more popular 7-Card Stud and absolutely phenomenal Texas Hold'em Poker.

House Advantage

The overwhelming majority of casino games (or gambling games generally) gives the house a specific advantage (edge). However Black Jack could be named as a bright exception since a player can turn the advantage in his or her favour by the way of play referred to as Perfect Black Jack.

The probability theory is crucial to know the true – mathematically calculated – odds, as the house advantage results from the difference between the true odds and those paid out by the house.

Let us take a look at the Roulette for example. There are 37 numbers in French version (38 numbers in American roulette) – 18 red, 18 black and a green zero. If you bet on a single number (Straight) then your probability to win is 1/37 and/or the odds against you 36:1.

In other words there are 36 out of 37 possibilities to lose. The payout of the Straight Bet is 35:1 only. That gives the house edge 2.7%, which can be also marked as the long-term profit or share. Please note that the edge is lower in case of even odds – 1.35%.

Can You Beat Casino?

You may say that the 2.7%-edge is not too bad and perhaps you are right. Sure, the casino must make profit for its subsistence and you have to decide on your own, whether it is acceptable for you or not. However there is a plenty of gambling or casino games that brings a plenty of bets, which are more or less (dis)advantageous. This just underlines the importance of the knowledge of the true mathematical odds.

The best bets for players are those that give house the lowest edge (or profit / share / advantage).

The house edge takes effect particularly in the long run, when, slowly but surely, the law of probability starts working against the players. On the other hand the situation is far more exciting and interesting in the short-term point of view, where the theory of chaos can play its part. There is no limit for anyone to have a lucky day. Then betting on your favourite number in Roulette for instance brings a tempting payout 35:1!
