Lack of Discipline

This is a big one! This is where even the pros stumbled. Discipline is a learned behavior. It will determine if you will win or lose consistently.

You must set goals for both winning and losing. Once your goals are met you must condition yourself to walk away. Trust me on this one; you will never be completely satisfied with your winnings. But in winning a little is a much better feeling than losing any amount. Learn to walk-away and remember the casinos will be there whenever you decide to return.

Playing with Scare Money

This happens when you are playing with monies that you can't afford to lose. My advise is to stay home. The chances are if you are in this state of mind you will not play in a manner to take advantage of a winning opportunity.

No Game Plan

Lets see:

• Will I play Place Bets or Come Bets?

• Will I play the Don'ts or Do's?

• Or should I let the game determine how I should play?

• How much should I bet at a time?

• How much am I trying to win?

• How much will I lose before I quit?

Knowledge of the Game

I don't have to tell you that the more you know the better you can prepare. The better you can prepare and greater your chances are for being successful.

In Summary, playing smart starts with making good bets. Obvious making the best bets and staying away from the bad bets will increase your chances of winning. In addition, must sure that next time you step into a casino you will have:
