Blackjack players who know how to count cards (and how to exploit that knowledge) can actually get an advantage over the casino. They play for small stakes until the deck contains a not proportionately large number of tens and aces, which gives the player an edge, and then raise the stakes. In doing so, they receive positive expectation … until the casino employees realize what’s going on and toss them out.
Craps is filled with idiot wagers offering a massive house advantage. However, craps is also one of the most player friendly games (if you put the money on the right section of the layout). Stick to the Pass and Don’t Pass wagers and the edge never exceeds 1.41 %. If you combine these bets with laying odds, the percentage become even better. Besides Pass and Don’t Pass there are a few other not-too-shabby craps bets. For instance Place 6 and 8 offer a 1.52 % house advantage.
