How myths are born?
The most popular origin for most gambling myths, of course, comes from the games themselves. The most frequent myth-producing games are slots, poker, and blackjack. With these games, the myths typically consist of the benefits of betting strategies and systems.
These systems are usually hawked by the people who have created them, and who attempt to sell them to would-be players. But players should be aware that these systems are often part of the many gambling myths that exist.
The most frequently circulated myths surrounding casino games from blackjack to poker originate in the betting systems advertised by their creators. The creators of these systems claim that the systems can help the players to beat the house and to win consistently. But the truth of the matter is that there is no system that can guarantee – despite what its creators say — a consistent advantage over the house in the long run. Even the best designed betting systems will not offer a player a definitive advantage over the casino over a long period of time.
The reason behind this advantage can be determined through simple mathematics. These mathematical principles ensure that the house has a certain percentage of winning over the gambler. Although following certain systems may result in a couple of wins, it is mathematically impossible to overcome the house edge no matter what system a gambler uses. This is one myth that can be dispelled using simple common sense.
The one exception to this rule is card counting.Players can use card counting in blackjack to determine when the best time to hit or stand would be, but knowing how to accurately card count and place a bet takes hours of consistent playing and practice. Most people just do not have the time or skill to take advantage of this system.
The best way to determine a chance of winning is not by using a scheme, as myth has suggested, but by determining the odds of the game. By participating in a game with the greatest odds for the player, a gambler can up his changes of winning.
Introduction in gambling myths
In the world of gambling, there are several popular myths that continue to swirl and disseminate among more experienced gamblers and newcomers alike. These myths and rumors range from how to beat a particular game to the dark stories surrounding a certain gaming table. Yet they all have one thing in common -- they are usually not true. Most
There are myths and rumors surrounding every type of gambling game available. They range from what it takes to win the game -- for example that all gambling is based on luck – to betting systems, why people are compensated, and other interesting subjects.
There are also several fascinating and sometimes humorous stories that surround the world of gambling. These stories may be based on a few facts from a case or instance that happened years before. The facts then get distorted and the story grows into a myth or legend that is repeated in different ways each year.
One humorous story is based on a case that happened many years before it grew into legend. The legend now consists of a foreign businessman who travels to a casino in the United States each year with a briefcase full of $1 million. According to the current legend, the businessman places a bet at the craps table. Regardless of whether he wins or loses, the man returns to the same casino to place his bet each year. This is just one story that continues to grow and repeat itself with each new set of gamblers.
Myths may have a kernel of truth, or they may be based on complete speculation. However, it is up to the gambler to educate oneself on what is fact and what is fiction. Most of the myths can be dispelled with simple common sense, but sometimes a little research is needed to delve to the truth. While many of these myths can be entertaining, it is important not to take them too seriously. Doing so can cause more harm than good and can detract from the gaming experience.
In this blog I would like to share with you interesting strategy in game, funny stories and myths, my experience, so ALL what can be connected with "LUCK".
