Betting online and in a casino is obviously fraught with danger. Businesses that house this wouldn’t exist if they didn’t take your money. The best game to play invariably, as long as you are smart about it, is poker. In poker the house will generally only take a rake, which is a small percentage of every pot. For the house this is actually profitable but for you it is actually better than the house odds of beating you outright in other games.

In poker you are playing against other people, instead of the house. This means the house isn’t encouraged to stack the odds against you, which is great news for you. Anyone with a little patience can win at poker but it really is a game for the thinker. When playing tables for cash the best thing you can do is pick a fish and take their money. This goes back to that patience thing I just mentioned. It takes patience to not involve yourself in every hand, and in some cases overlook reasonably good hands in favour of observing the play of the rest of the table to find the fish. This is just as important in online betting as it is live.

Finding a fish is easy. It is not the guy who is always losing. It is the guy that is, usually, always winning but more to the point the guy who is in every hand, goes to every showdown, wins hands with deuce nine etc. It is really, really easy to beat the guy because the fish is putting himself in a position to lose more than he wins. He is too aggressive, and too involved. That means that if you show patience, and wait for a good hand, he will be involved in it and then you have given yourself a massive chance of beating him. Of course this won’t always happen but it will over time.
