Blackjack odds flow from the rules and can run anywhere from 5 % or 6 % disadvantage to less than one 1 %.

The Tuscany Inn in Vegas is one quaint and low key Best Western where the player has maximum opportunity. Also, the Mandalay Bay if you prefer swank and goggling.

Baccarat has a house advantage of 1.2%. It is a great game for using money management betting strategies. Probably better than blackjack as a pure betting scheme which is complicated by the double downs, and split pairs.

In Poker you play against the players and the house takes a rake and the dealer lives mainly off (fairly lucrative) tips. The percentage rake is much higher in lower limit games so play as high as you can afford and check the rake.

If you are 1% better than the average player (at your table!) you are (in effect) like a casino: You are EATING money! So write the Gambler's Book Store and quit your day job!
