If your purpose in going to the casino is purely for entertainment, without much concern for winning or losing, just as an ordinary visitor who occasionally enters the casino, then you should simply enjoy the excitement that gambling brings. However, if you view the casino as an investment opportunity, your perspective should be different. Since you frequent the casino, there are certain aspects you must pay attention to.
Apart from the gamblers, the most important individuals in the casino are the casino staff. The primary point of contact for gamblers is the card dealer or 'croupier.' Taking 'baccarat' as an example, in large tables, there are three croupiers, while in 'mini-baccarat,' there is one croupier. Many casino croupiers are recruited through exams, and their ability to count is crucial. Generally, they excel at calculations.
On the other hand, due to their continuous work in the casino, dealing with gambling day and night, they become somewhat indifferent to various gambling strategies employed by players. The personalities of croupiers vary; some are very friendly, while others consider gamblers as adversaries and take pleasure in defeating them, especially those who lose. Additionally, in some casinos, particularly in Asia, tips given by gamblers are a significant part of a croupier's income. In such cases, there may be instances of forcefully demanding tips, leading to unpleasant situations if refused.
As an investor in the casino, encountering different types of croupiers is inevitable. Regardless of the croupier's nature, it is crucial to remain calm and not let emotions interfere, as getting angry can impact your analysis and decisions. Stick to your principles and avoid giving tips recklessly. Some gamblers, in an attempt to please the croupier for better treatment, give tips when they win. However, the cumulative amount of tips can be substantial, and it's advisable to keep track. A reasonable approach is to limit the total tips given to not exceed five percent of your winnings.
If you experience poor treatment from a croupier, it's better to switch to another table. Winning money in the casino is undoubtedly a joyful experience. Although casinos are businesses, and winning customers, especially those winning big, is generally welcomed by international casinos, which may even invite you as a VIP or for promotional events, emphasizing that the casino is a fair and winning-friendly place.
If you are an occasional visitor and happen to win big once, the casino will not mind. However, if you are a regular high-stakes gambler, winning and losing consistently, the casino will likely take notice and may even monitor your activities. In such situations, it's wise not to frequent the same casino too often, not stay for extended periods, and avoid consistently winning large sums of money. Casinos often employ tactics to distract gamblers, such as inserting attractive performances, offering free beer, and other drinks, which can hinder your concentration.
Some croupiers, aiming for tips, may provide signals to gamblers about betting. Due to their extensive experience in the casino, they often have insights into the flow of the game, which I refer to as understanding the 'gambling cycle,' a concept I will explain in detail in the advanced techniques section. While some gamblers may be willing to listen to their suggestions for betting, my advice is that if you are primarily there for entertainment, you may consider their opinions. However, if you are a 'casino investor,' do not let others interfere with your strategies. Stick to your principles and focus on long-term results.
Being a disciplined investor is crucial. Do not dwell on short-term gains or losses; instead, pay attention to the results of long-term counting. Your well-established rules for betting, though they may lead to losses during unfavorable times, will ultimately result in success in the long run. Changing your approach based on others' opinions may lead to confusion and negate the strategic planning done in advance.
