Casinos all over the world make gambling a billion dollar industry. Random and unpredictable games, like the roulette, are designed in such a way that the house always wins and the players lose.

Usually, when people plan trips to Vegas, they give themselves a certain allowance that they feel comfortable losing, though everybody hopes to win.

All gamblers know that the house has a strong advantage, but they still rush to casinos, convinced that they are very close to hitting the jackpot. Why do they do that? Why millions of dollars are being lost by people who actually know that they are likely to lose?

When you think about it, the answer is very obvious. Most of us work very hard to get by and make ends meet. It is everybody\’s dream to become rich and not to have to work another day, just by winning a jackpot. No matter how tough life may be outside of a casino, the tantalizing possibility of becoming very fortunate keeps many people glued to gambling.

The truth is that you have more chances of losing than winning. You don\’t need to look any further than their advertising. If you walk into any random casino, you will be greeted with images of people winning, flashy signs that suggest riches, and messages that tell you that the easy life is only a few dollars and a few spins away.

To increase your odds of winning and make gambling fun, not stressful, you need to follow these three rules.

Number one rule and the most important is not to drink while you bet. Alcohol slows down your thinking capabilities, make you miss out important details and you may end up making some very poor decisions.

Another rule is to set your limits. Set a reasonable amount of money to play with before you sit at the betting table.

Finally, you need to stop gambling while you are still ahead. Leave the table as soon as you reach the target amount of money you already set as a limit.
