There are times sports bettors think they've zeroed in on multiple winners and are tempted to bet parlays -- betting multiple teams, with all required to win for the bettor to collect. The temptation is in the payoffs. Let's use parlays on point-spread bets as an example. Point-spread bets or over/unders pay at even-money, minus the 10 percent vigorish. Win three $11 point spread bets, and you win a total of $30. What if you made just one $10 bet on a three-team parlay instead? Odds may vary from book to book, but at the Nevada books that are the…

Twenty-one—a number that fills us with adventure and hope. Of all the traditional games of chance, blackjack enjoys a special place in our hearts! It’s the one we learned first, the game we played for nickels with family or at sleepovers. It’s like an old friend tucked into a deck of cards. Even now, among the gorgeous racket of a casino floor, the blackjack table becomes an oasis of familiarity. But while sleepover blackjack and casino blackjack share a lot in common, there are some key differences worth remembering. If you’re dreaming about green felt and the exhilarating swoosh of…

Many blackjack players have quirks where they deviate from basic strategy. I recently shared a table at one who would not sit at 16 under any circumstances. That's a bad play whenever the dealer shows a 7 or higher, but it's not that rare. What made this latest player really unusual is that his phobia for hitting 16 extended to soft 16 -- hands such as Ace-5 or Ace-3-2 where the Ace is counted as 11. "At least I'm still in the game," he said when other players tried to show him the light. "Let the dealer take a chance…

I was playing video poker and noticed that anytime the woman next to me had three of a kind on an initial deal, she'd pause, stand up, take a deep breath, then sit and make her draw.

I followed up with a group of slot players. Most said they have no superstitions, but a few have things that make them feel luckier. WANDA:…
