What if you held the keys to winning at gambling? Imagine that when you walk into a casino you know precisely what you want and how to get it.
Let's say you know the strict mathematical point that identifies what forms of gambling are for you -- and also how to prevent the casinos from manipulating you so deeply with your own nervous system that they make both THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE movies look like a church picnic . . .
. . . how much more confident would you feel? How much money would you stop losing and start winning? How much would your life change for the better? What would you buy with that extra money in your hands?
If you enjoy being a sheep who flocks to casinos because you have a deep-rooted, pathological need to give them your hard-earned money, stop reading now -- you need professional help I'm not qualified to provide. This article is only for people want to WIN at gambling.
If you are . . . (Check which one applies to you.):
a social gambler who just wants to have fun without losing more money than you can afford
a serious gambler who wants to start winning more money than you lose
. . . you are about to discover the most overlooked truths about how to win at gambling.
Frankly, checking either box puts you into the category of elite gambler. Because most people go to casinos with all the unthinking "street smarts" of moths flying full speed into the glass of a porch light.
Your first step is to read every word of this article.
Did you really think you and other still-uninformed people visit casinos to win money?
Get real!
I got a news flash for you - the tooth fairy's a myth and Santa Claus retired to Florida.
Unless you go to a casino armed with *real* winning techniques of play . . . unless you know the games and bets to avoid . . .unless you know the few games and bets to play and how to play them . . .
. . . you're one of the sheep!
In the long run, the casino strips you of your hard earned cash. Thank you, because you keep the casinos in business so Take Charge gamblers can profit from them.
OK, here's the first secret the casinos don't want you to learn:
Every bet in every game has a mathematical "score" called "expected value."
This score is mathematical. You can break a human law and not get caught, but you cannot escape the law of expected value.
What is expected value? It is how much you will win or lose at that bet in the long run -- that is, if you keep making it over and over. It is expressed as the percentage of the money you are betting which you will win -- or, more likely, lose.
There are two kinds of expected values -- positive and negative. Those words apply to YOUR money! Make bets with negative expected values and you are guaranteed to lose money in the long run.
Make only bets with positive expected values and you are guaranteed to MAKE money in the long run.
EXAMPLE:
Play blackjack by the seat of your pants like most gamblers do -- the expected value is negative 5 to 10% depending on just how badly you play. If you split eights, you might as well just throw all your cash onto the table and go home.
Play blackjack by counting cards -- the expected value is positive 1/2 to 1%, depending on the particular rules of the game.
That is why blackjack is well known as the game that can be beaten -- but most people don't, because they don't count cards.
Now, I'm not going to snow you here, unlike all those gambling books that promise to teach you "how to win" when they really mean "lose less."
The casinos do NOT make it easy for you. They do NOT have a lot of positive expected values bets. But they DO exist. I'm NOT telling you that Take Charge gambling is easy. If it were, everybody would do it and casinos around the world would close down.
Now, you might be thinking -- I already knew most casino games and bets are losers. But I can still win or lose. I can still walk away a winner without learning any math.
Here's where the casinos are masters of psychological manipulation. This is the second secret they do not want you to know about.
The Law of Intermittent Reinforcement
Yes, it's true that in the short run you can win or lose any game or bet.
But if you're reading this, guess what? I haven't gone fishing since I was a kid, but I can see that you've got a hook in your mouth bigger than any I ever used to catch a bluegill.
And it's all the more real because it's psychological -- that is, it's made of emotions instead of stainless steel.
And it's got a fancy name -- psychologists call it the Law of Intermittent Reinforcement.
This law is wired into your genes as deeply as the drive to eat and procreate.
Here's a simple example. Which boss would you work hard for?
Boss A -- Every Friday, Boss A tells you that you did a good job. Whether you spent the week giving 110% or goofing off. Doesn't matter. Every Friday it's, "Keep up the good work."
Boss B -- Boss B NEVER tells you that you did a good job. Doesn't matter that you worked 80 hours of unpaid overtime, sold a million dollars or saved the company from bankruptcy, Boss B never gives you the least sign of appreciation.
Boss C -- On Friday, Boss C tells you that you've done a good job for the week -- sometimes. Last week you did a great job and Boss C patted you on the back and really showed great appreciation. This week you also worked hard but Boss C said nothing.
Will you work hard for Boss A? Not for long, because you soon learn that you can sleep through your job and get the same appreciation as when you work hard -- so why work hard?
Will you work hard for Boss B? You will work just enough to keep your job -- until you find a new one where you are appreciated. Why work harder than that, since Boss B doesn't care?
The obvious answer is Boss C. Because this boss does show appreciation. Because this boss doesn't show it automatically, you'll work hard every week to earn it.
Now, let's pretend those bosses are slot machines
Slot machine A always pays off. Put in a quarter and win at least two more. Yippee! right? Wrong -- the casino will soon catch and fix this slot machine. They cannot stay in business by giving away money with your every quarter.
Slot machine B never pays off. How long do you stay there? Just long enough to figure out that you cannot ever win any money at this machine. Then you will move to a new one.
Slot machine C is like all slot machines in casinos around the world. It pays off intermittently. That is, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. On an irregular, unpredictable basis. Just when you've lost money long enough to feel discouraged, bingo! -- ten quarters hit the cup.
By the end of the night, you're probably still a loser -- because almost all slot machines have negative expected values -- but you feel as though you MIGHT have won, if only you'd had more quarters or more time to feed them into the machine.
That feeling keeps you coming back to lose your hard earned money.
That feeling is the hook in your mouth that enslaves you to the casino.
That feeling keeps the casinos in business -- because you CAN win in the short run. But if you keep on gambling in ignorance, your life is the long run and in the long run, the casinos win.
To win money at gambling, you must do two things, based on what I've just told you
Hi, my name's Rick Stooker,
Like you, I've gambled and lost and I've gambled and won.
Unlike you until now, I've taken charge of my gambling career. I gamble only when I have an edge and only when the profit potential is worth my time.
99% of everyone you see in a casino is hoping for a short term win -- and sometimes getting it -- yet ignoring their long term losses.
See, in CasinoLand, ignorance is spelled S*U*C*K*E*R
If you think you will win by using some betting system that you bought through a mail order ad or over the Internet, you may be in even worse shape than the simple losers. You think you can win by betting up when you lose or riding a streak or some other misleading claptrap.
You won't become a winner by courting Lady Luck, playing "streaks" or sacrificing a goat at midnight.
Can you too really be one of the few gambling winners? The cards and dice don't know you from Nick the Greek. They don't know or care who you are, what your income is or how much you know. But you must know how to Take Charge --
Take Charge of:
Your knowledge - what you don't know WILL hurt you! Your application of that knowledge Your skill level Your money Your time Your goals Your life What you want from gambling When you play, how much you bet, how long you play and, especially, IF you play!
If you want to gamble for money, you must know how to make only positive expectation bets and that you must resist the feeling that tells you to gamble when you should not.
I am NOT a hardcore, Nick the Greek type gambler. Nick the Greek died broke.
I have gambled off and on for years. When riverboats started opening up in the St Louis area, I checked them out to see if and how I could make money from them. Unlike most people I know who visit the boats as though giving away their hard-earned money was a party, I researched gambling AS A BUSINESS.
I want to MAKE MONEY, not lose it
When you run a business, you deduct ALL your expenses from your sales. If your expenses are greater than your income, guess what? Your business is losing money and you better fix it or close it.
What's more, while in college years ago, I took a good statistics course. Amazing how a little real knowledge of probability changes your outlook on gambling.
The results of what I learned are in my book Take Charge Gambling for Winners
Will Take Charge Gambling for Winners make you an instant winner?
Of course not - it's not a magic wand. You must read it and apply it.
Also, it is not specialized. It won't explain the details of how to win at the games. If it did, it'd be 5 times as long and cost 20 times as much.
You can find the details on craps, blackjack etc in many other books. You must learn specific techniques from the greatest experts. I point you to the best at every worthwhile gambling game. You'll save more than the cost of my book just by NOT wasting money on the many worthless or even dangerous gambling books that unfortunately are in every bookstore.
Applied Knowledge = Wealth
I don't want to hear how you made $136 last night playing craps or $47 last week playing a quarter slot machine. Short terms results are worse than worthless.
If you don't know what your edge against the casino is, you don't have one. That makes you a loser, until you get smart enough to quit -- or learn an edge.
If you don't know WHY you made that money one night, you're relying on luck: a sure recipe for disaster.
If you think gambling is about luck, you should never enter a casino. The gambling industry is about everything *except* "luck."
This sounds strange, but professional gamblers (part or full time) are NOT risk takers - they are risk managers. In the truest sense of the term, they are anything BUT "gamblers."
They are the opposite of YOU. They can lose in the short run but, by keeping their mind on the long run, they win.

Why that's one of my take charge gambling credentials Why you shouldn't gamble at those places either, unless you live in or close to them Many gambling writers say that if you collect enough comps, barely negative expectation games become positive.

Why I'm not like so many other gambling authors -- I do NOT love to gamble, I just love to make money
Obviously Take Charge Gambling for Winners includes only the best advice I have discovered in the course of my extensive research into gambling and psychology. It leaves out or warns you against the dangerous or just plain silly advice that is common in many gambling books. And it contains the results of my own unique observations and experience.
Unlike other gambling authors, I do NOT love gambling for the sake of gambling. I look at it strictly as a business. I am not turned on by the red plush carpeting, bright lights and pulse-pounding noise found in American casinos -- or by the dim lighting and quiet found in the casino I visited in Asia.
I'm turned on by making money, turned off by losing it. I measure all games and bets against that ruler.
Positive expectation = Good
Negative expectation = Bad
How much is all this worth to you?
How much are you losing now?
According to the Missouri Gaming Commission, from July 2002 through June 2003 -- the latest figures available -- casinos in Missouri won a total of $1.3 billion in adjusted gross earnings. Yes, that's over $1 billion, won in just one year.
Translated into your life, that means that every time someone visited a Missouri casino, they lost $54.99.
I'm sure you lose just as much or more in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Indian reservations, other riverboat casinos, on cruise ships and in other countries.
If you travel to gamble, you are losing what you pay for gas, air fares, extra food and other such expenses.
How much could you win -- if you knew how to make only positive expectation bets?
How much is it worth to you to find out?
Your investment in Take Charge Gambling for Winners is only $47 -- $8 less than the average visitor lost to casinos in one visit in Missouri last fiscal year.
If this book had been available when I first started researching gambling as a business, I would have paid at least $500 -- and still saved at least $2,000 in buying books and worthless "systems" and checking out their advice in casinos. Not to mention saving all the time it took, from learning blackjack's Basic Strategy to playing poker until dawn.
You can download and be reading Take Charge Gambling for Winners in only 5 minutes, even if it's 2 A.M. where you are.

"The Blackjack Key Card System"
About 25 years ago, renowned gambling author David Sklansky (one of the few gambling writers I have 100% respect for) published a short article explaining the basis for a blackjack playing system he called the Key Card system. However, the article did NOT tell the entire system. It simply explained the basic concepts.
That was over 25 years ago. To the best of my knowledge, neither David Sklansky nor anyone else has ever published the entire system, although Sklansky explained the concepts clearly.
It's enough to make anyone suspicious. In those 25 years many computer programmers have run simulations of trillions upon trillions of blackjack hands. Most of that duplicated the original work done by Edward Thorp and Julian Braun in the early 1960s.
Yet nobody has bothered to sit down and simply think through every possibility of Sklansky's key cards? . . . mmmm . . . what's going on here?
I emailed Sklansky about the Key Card system several years ago, but he never replied. In his book SKLANSKY TALKS BLACKJACK, he makes no reference to key cards. It's full of excellent but conventional advice based on regular card counting.
John May's recent book GET THE ADVANTAGE IN BLACKJACK simply repeats Sklansky's "this article is the basis of a system, not a system."
The article itself is still available in Sklansky's book GETTING THE BEST OF IT. Highly recommended.
What I've done is sit down and think through his system. Using it, what would be the correct play for each situation? This bonus report tells you.
This system is NOT a counting system. It is a playing system which uses two key indicators to pinpoint the "key card or cards" for the hand you have versus the dealer's hand.
The idea is simple and applies only to stiff hands and soft hands. The system can tell you that, based on the number of the key card or cards left in the deck, you should Stand or Hit. Based on the number of remaining key cards, the system may tell you to violate Basic Strategy or the conventional card counting play.
One disclaimer: This is what I came up with from applying what Sklansky wrote. I'm not saying it's what Sklansky himself would come up with. After 25 years, I must assume neither Sklansky himself nor anyone else wants to publish their version of the full system.
Yet I've seen no computer studies disputing Sklansky's original claims that this system would give the blackjack player a strong edge WITHOUT the extreme bet size jumping required by conventional 10s card counting, which is the obvious thing that gets many blackjack card counters barred from casinos.
You're facing a fork in the road of your gambling career and your life
I should not have to convince you of the obvious benefits that Take Charge Gambling for Winners will bring you, benefits that far outweigh the investment.
I have taught you the two secrets casinos do not want you to know. Now you must decide just how much you want the benefits of Taking Charge of your gambling.
Look down the road you take where you choose not to buy Take Charge Gambling for Winners.
What do you see? Hear? Feel?
You're standing in front of a slot machine, feeding in quarters as fast as your fingers can twitch. Throughout the casino, lights flash, bells ring and quarters pound on metal - but in other people's trays.
The rolls of quarters in your plastic bucket dwindles steadily until it's empty. You find the nearest ATM, have a drink and take a seat at the blackjack table.
You've heard blackjack's the best game for beating the casino. You've heard of Basic Strategy but you never bought that Telly Sevalas video either, so you just make the obvious sensible plays.
You chips dwindle and vanish.
You hit the ATM machine again. This time, it tells you "Insufficient funds on deposit."
Your house is on the verge of foreclosure. Your credit cards are maxxed out. Your boss is warning you the personnel department is ticked off at the number of court-ordered garnishments coming out of your paycheck.
On your way out the door you buy a lotto ticket with the quarters in your pocket.
It's a small hope, but a hope nonetheless.
OK, maybe that's over-dramatized. Maybe you won't go that gambling crazy. You'll stop short of bankruptcy and suicide. I'm glad to hear that, because I don't wish financial problems on anybody.
Maybe you'll just blow all your "extra" money on gambling, every Saturday night for the rest of your life. You won't ever lose your house, but -- unknown to you -- you're losing far more money than you had to. You lose far more money than the price of Take Charge Gambling for Winners.
You have failed to Take Charge of your gambling, your money and your life -- and you're paying the price.
And the path into the future where you read and APPLIED Take Charge Gambling for Winners? What does THAT look like?
You feel deep inside the serene inner confidence of someone who knows that the long term odds are on their side. You're in a casino but far from being caught up in the greed-frenzy, you coolly look over the available options.
You make note of the opportunities -- and steer clear of the sucker traps.
Ten video poker machines sit side by side in a row. You select the one that offers a positive expectation. You know its Basic Strategy.
You walk through the blackjack tables. You know what to look for to see whether these games are worth playing. To make certain, you stand in front of a dealer who just started shuffling. You watch closely until they finish. Yes, it's beatable. You know how.
You chuckle to yourself when you see the baccarat players keeping track of the Player and Banker wins. You pass them by.
Here are the craps tables. You've been practicing - your throwing arm feels good. You choose the table with the fewest people around it, because you know that only you know how to throw more points than sevens.
