The Built-In Advantage of the Casino |
||||||
|
<br>You've likely heard the saying that the house always comes out on top. It's a direct reference to the house edge, the mathematical advantage that ensures casino profitability. It represents the average percentage of a player's bet that the casino expects to keep over the long run. For any serious player, an understanding of the house edge is non-negotiable.<br> |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Math Behind the Advantage |
||||||
|
<br>The edge comes from the gap between a bet's actual probability and the payout the casino gives for a winning bet. Let's use a simple example from Roulette:<br> |
||||||
|
<br> |
||||||
|
The wheel has 37 numbers in total. |
||||||
|
The actual probability of your number coming up is 1/37. |
||||||
|
But, the payout for a winning single-number bet is 35:1. |
||||||
|
The casino profits from this statistical difference. |
||||||
|
The mathematical result is a house advantage of 2.7%. |
||||||
