Many people attribute their successes in a casino to either a lot of luck, or lack of it and skill, if the game requires skill. These two entities are certainly factors whenever you gamble but there is often one other entity that is often overlooked -- Fate. In order to gamble and understand how to get the most out of your gaming sessions, you must believe in fate and you need to know how to control the whole package.

If you possess and can manage luck, skill and fate then you will be able to win in casino gambling more often than not. The reason is because all three entities must be in order for you to win and once you realize this, then you can manage your casino gambling. Now, before you go off on a tangent thinking that the writer of this article is some sort of fruit cake let me tell you that I know what I’m talking about and after years of casino gambling experiences, I know enough to believe in all three.

Have you ever gone to a casino and had some measure of luck at a game when you first began to play the game and then as you learn the aspects of the game, you find your luck begins to dwindle away? Even though you possessed the good luck of the Irish, you were unable to cash in because you didn’t have any measure of skill to take the win to the limit. Further, your destiny wasn’t planning to see you through to a huge win so therefore; you only realized small wins riding on luck alone. However, look at a different scenario.

A craps player who is very skilled in the game of craps knows the average number of rolls that a shooter will roll before the inevitable seven appears. He or she walks up to the table and places a passline bet and goes $324 across. The shooter rolls two or three numbers and the skilled player brings down all bets after collecting on three hits. The seven hits on roll number five and a new shooter gets the dice. The skilled player bides some time and waits for the dice so that he can shoot the dice himself. He knows he can shoot so he goes out $324 across and waits for three hits and backs down the bet to $108 across, after 3 more hits, he takes his bets all the way down to $27 across. Soon after the seven is rolled; this comes as no surprise because our shooter knows how long the “average” shooter will hold the dice anyway. By the end of this shooter’s session, he has profited several hundred dollars. The craps example is an example of skill and luck playing in the favor of the player. However, if this player had fate working against him, everything would have worked against him and the skill factor wouldn’t have been a lot of help.

One thing a player can not change is their pre-determined fate. You can change your luck and you can improve your skill but if it’s not in the cards for you to have a winning session or a winning trip; you might as well pack it up and go home. Some things are out of your control. However, what isn’t out of your control is your ability to use all three vices to your advantage. When luck, skill and fate are on your side, you will be unstoppable in any given gaming venue.
