Have you ever wondered which table games and bets give you the best chance of winning? Yeah, I kinda figured you might. Don't I keep saying, ya gotta know the angles? So I did a little research for you. Here are a variety of bets, by game, from the lowest house edge to the highest. Now you can see where you got some action and which tables to pass right by!
Dino's Tip of the Month: Leave when you’re ahead; have a win limit. Like my wife says, "When you're a winner, we go to dinner!"
