My friend taught me how to play craps and it's actually one of the best ways to walk away with a little money. It seems complicated but it really isn't.

One of my psychology professors in college had gambling addiction and related aspects as his core field, and he also taught statistics. The upshot of which was that he knew the exact odds of every casino game, and thus your odds of walking away with money if you play any casino game.

He mentioned that about the ONLY game you can play where the house doesn't have major advantage (meaning you're guaranteed to lose more than you make over time) is baccarat, and even that still has a slight house edge (and you actually have to be GOOD at it - the worse you are, the better odds the house gets).

He also mentioned your best chance of making significant money in a casino is to find one that allows for games where you don't play against the house, you play against other players and the house takes a fee to act as impartial dealer (most common with poker games). Then get really, really good at poker and shark tourists.
