Dear Mark: Why is it that I always lose in the casino? Am I simply playing the wrong games? Rachael M.

Hey, Rachael, I'm just guessin' here, but are you playing any of the games I recommend? Are you employing a solid strategy on those games? If not, then you have just answered your own questions. 

Unless you’re making wagers that have a casino advantage of two percent or less, you’re like a greyhound at the track, chasing Rusty, the fake rabbit of gambling riches.

What you’ll need to do first is treat casinos as green felt jungles where you’re playing no-holds-barred war. The gurus of guerrilla gambling will tell you that you can fight back only by making bets that have a two percent house edge or less. When you do, you’ll stand a good chance of turning the tables back in your favor, staying in action longer, starting to smile, and yes, stopping the flow of your hard-earned cash into the casino’s well-manicured hands.

I have a simple solution for you, Rachael, or any other reader who’s interested. How about a laminated Casino Strategy Card that lists all the "Best Bets" in a casino, plus a list of the Money Management techniques the Pro's use. Allow me to send you, or anyone else a complimentary Best Bets Card. Yes, those same ones you see in gaming publications and casino gift shops for up to $5 can be yours for FREE, zippo, zilch, and don’t forget nada. All I ask is that you send a self addressed stamped envelope (SASE) to: Mark Pilarski, ATTN: Best Bets Card, P.O. Box 1234, Traverse City, MI 49685.

Now how simple is that?
