Which casino games have the best odds in our favor?

[kunkgreen]

Well, it's a somewhat naive question because I don't think I'll get a very positive answer...

It's about wanting to know which casino games offer the best odds of winning...
Is the best we can achieve still less than 50%, or is there some game where we have some advantage, however slight?
Or at least some type of blackjack where, with the perfect strategy, we can minimize and almost break even (maybe win?)?


So, what do you have to say?

 

[MK_]

Well none have odds in your favor since

the house always has the edge,

but the games with the best odds

with only a 1% house edge are

Blackjack, baccarat and Craps👍

 

[najisami]

I don't think I'll get a very positive answer...

Why do you say that?
Everyone here would answer you to the best of their knowledge.
MK just did. Those 3 games are exactly the ones where the player has the best chance of winning if they know what they're doing of course since the casino still has that little edge. But definitely better than all the other games in regard to the casino advantage.

Never look for Blackjack variations (Types). They all increase the house edge.

Just play the regular Blackjack using the famous and very known "Basic Strategy". Get a chart, try to memorize it, or put in in front of you while playing, it's allowed.

Just as I imagined! lol

Well... Just like the blackjack example, 1% seems good enough to me!

I remember playing baccarat sometime in my life, but at the moment I have no idea how it works (I remember it being fun). And craps, judging by the name, I also have no idea.

I'll still finish up his topics here, but thanks for the suggestions.

Can't we even find something like being ahead of the house online?

1 - I was referring to the fact that it would be very unlikely that something exists where the house doesn't win!

In fact, it doesn't even make sense for something like that to exist; where would the houses get their profits from?
But it could happen, it could! haha

2 - I'm almost finished with Blackjack Academy.

I've become more interested in games like Blackjack... It's fun and has good odds, but I think the strategy might make it too mechanical, what do you think?

And I'll probably find new favorites (if the odds allow, haha).

 

[najisami]

That's totally true, unless you add some card counting, then you'll have real fun. You'll get so busy you'd forget about everything. But if you do, be moderate. They're always watching. If you happen to make some money, don't get too greedy, leave. You can always go somewhere else before you get caught 🤪😂.

Not to mention, counting cards is not that easy, but if you can, you won't have to look for any other game.

 

[KrazyKoo]

roulette or slots. Those have the highest RTP.

There is catch however... in those games you usually play for extended period increasing your amount wagered. Best way to gamble is to play roulette BUT play it exactly like a lotto. Treat roulette as a lotto. One spin, all in, no second bet no matter what. You only lose 2.7% of your bet.

 

[dreamer13]

Roulette has the best odds, red or black. Blackjack gets easier as more people play with you, trying to cheat the casino rather than play against each other, but they quickly overwhelm them and close the tables.

 

[pavel1111111]

😂😂😂none...they all ușe the same algoritm, IT all depends in the period that they are willing to pay 👉

 

[nasty bent gorilla]

The only real way to gain an advantage is through things like card counting in blackjack or exploiting promotions/bonuses. Standard play should lose in long run.

No there is definetly no gambling game out there where the player has more chance of winning than the house.
The casino edge is the only reason gambling can exist

 

[TeUnit]

Hopefully its poker. The house usually has the edge the other games.

I'm still mostly in the learning phase of the best moves! hehe
But it's a possibility! ;p

Here in Brazil I don't have the option of casinos, but you might find them on some types of cruise ships, which is also valid!

Actually, I was referring to having an advantage over the house... Their returns are really great, but they're really like a lottery! I believe more in the fun factor than the financial one!

I really didn't like roulette at all, maybe for fun and certain occasions... I found it difficult to win even on bets based solely on color. Even more so being EV-.

Blackjack appealed to me more because of the possibilities... Being close to breakeven is better than being at a great disadvantage!

I suspected it from the beginning! lol

The only real way to gain an advantage is through things like card counting in blackjack or exploiting promotions/bonuses. Standard play should lose in long run.

I understand... I also think that in some cases the promotions can partially compensate for the games that are low EV.

When poker rooms still maintained online casinos on their platforms here in Brazil... They always offered something, some of them free slot rounds... in other words, always high EV because we didn't invest anything! Haha

No there is definetly no gambling game out there where the player has more chance of winning than the house.

Thats fine, I had that in mind, but it doesn't hurt to look around!
Especially because of my lack of experience in the matter, since casinos are prohibited here in Brazil!

Hopefully its poker. The house usually has the edge the other games.

I was afraid they would answer me with that... because practically all of us are already involved with poker... But since I didn't write it, it's valid. Haha

We still have rake in poker, but I think the fact that we practically pay a fee to have a place to play poker with other people is still valid! Except for the cash games, where I still think the fees are too high.

 

[YLAN]

Hopefully its poker. The house usually has the edge the other games.

In poker, the house takes a "rake" in cash games or fees in tourneys from which they make their money. Its a win-win without risk where more players gain higher income for the house. Unlike other games where you play against the house, one play against other players. As such, a good player can maintain a long-term edge.

 

[Brigistul]

If you want to maximize your odds Choose games where your decisions matter (Blackjack, Video Poker).

Avoid “exotic” bets with high payouts but very low probabilities.

Remember that in the long run, mathematics beats luck.

 

[Sunz of Beaches]

If we count poker as a casino game then i would say poker but if we talk other games then probably craps from what i have heard (i don't play it).

So, what do you have to say?

I think blackjack is the most realistic option. I believe blackjack is the only casino game that can potentially give you the opportunity to make money regularly, provided you are an experienced and skilled player with well-thought-out bankroll management.

 

[burba]

I get what you’re saying, but in the long run it’s still mathematically impossible to consistently win at blackjack under normal conditions. Even with perfect basic strategy, the house maintains an edge. Card counting can slightly shift the odds, but casinos actively counter it with multiple decks, continuous shufflers, bet limits, and player bans. For the vast majority of players, blackjack — like every casino game — is designed to generate profit for the house over time. Skill can reduce losses, but it doesn’t eliminate the built-in edge.

Although it sometimes happens that a new game is introduced and managament ****s up, approving it without knowing the exact odds.
But usually they are removed again very quickly

So, what do you have to say?

I think there are two options to consider: video poker and blackjack. In my opinion, both options are the most promising. If you ask why?
In order to understand why, you need to learn a little more about the strategies used in these games.

So, what do you have to say?

Any game with a good bonus promotion offer can give you a decent profit. In my opinion, the main thing is not the games themselves, but the promotions that you can study and analyse, and thanks to such promotional offers, significantly improve your chances of making a real profit. Playing this way, you won't earn millions, but a few hundred dollars a month is quite realistic if you set yourself this goal and approach the issue pragmatically and systematically.

Good point... I also mentioned that in my answer above yours. hehe

If you want to maximize your odds Choose games where your decisions matter (Blackjack, Video Poker).

Avoid “exotic” bets with high payouts but very low probabilities.

Remember that in the long run, mathematics beats luck.

That's pretty much how I think... I see most games with lower odds more as a lottery-type fun activity than something to make a profit from.

If we count poker as a casino game then i would say poker but if we talk other games then probably craps from what i have heard (i don't play it).

I'm eager to see what craps will bring us... I still need to explore the craps thread here on CC.

I think poker really is still one of the best casino options (if we count it as such).

 

[kunkgreen]

I think blackjack is the most realistic option. I believe blackjack is the only casino game that can potentially give you the opportunity to make money regularly, provided you are an experienced and skilled player with well-thought-out bankroll management.

For now, I'm sharing the same thoughts (if we exclude poker from that list, of course).

I'm still looking at the options! (which aren't that many, but I still need to check out a few games).

Although it sometimes happens that a new game is introduced and managament ****s up, approving it without knowing the exact odds.
But usually they are removed again very quickly

I understand, just like in a bet, when the odds are wrong. But only as a mistake!
Or like surebets (I think that's the correct term, where we bet on the differences in odds from one bookmaker to another).


We want a game where the house never wins! hahaha (just kidding, of course)

Any game with a good bonus promotion offer can give you a decent profit. In my opinion, the main thing is not the games themselves, but the promotions that you can study and analyse, and thanks to such promotional offers, significantly improve your chances of making a real profit. Playing this way, you won't earn millions, but a few hundred dollars a month is quite realistic if you set yourself this goal and approach the issue pragmatically and systematically.

I believe in this approach... I also think that by carefully selecting certain promotions, we can reverse or equalize some of the advantages of the houses. But it's also clear that not every promotion is advantageous, so it's necessary to look at each case individually.
