Encore Las Vegas

obviously the huge hotels and opulent casinos in las vegas were not built by winners. in the long term the odds against the player will always favor the house. if you are lucky and manage your stake you may leave las vegas with more money than you arrived with. your stake is the amount of money you plan to gamble on a given session or day. in order to increase your winnings and decrease your losses you must manage your money. i personally use the 50/50 rule. for example if my stake is $1000 and i lose $500 i am out of the casino. on the other hand if i win $500 i take my winnings and go. the biggest mistake a gambler can make is to get into the hole and keep trying to win the losses back. also when ahead there is the urge to keep gambling because now you are playing with the "house's" money. over time you will give your winings back. never gamble more money than you can afford to lose. if you manage your stake you will have less stress and more fun at the tables.
