Gambling is a billion dollar industry and casinos make gambling what it is by promoting chance based games like roulette, that are designed to make players loose their money and the house to win.

Every year millions of people go to Las Vegas hoping to hit the jackpot.

Even though the casinos maintain a solid house advantage in all games, gamblers still flock to these edifices, convinced that they are one tiny step away from hitting gold and having a big lucky day. Why do people do this? Why do hundreds of millions of dollars end up in the fat wallets of casino bosses when people 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.

Do not drink alcoholic beverages when betting. Ever wonder why casinos are offering alcohol drinks free of charge to those that are playing at their tables? Drinking impairs your thinking and shuts you down pretty quickly. It may be fun and free, but you need to concentrate if you want to win.

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.
