When it comes to high rolling, most players can agree that unless you really know what you’re doing, you shouldn’t be betting too much on slots (most of which have been designed around players betting very little over a huge number of spins, as I’ve already told you), but unfortunately, that’s pretty much where we stop agreeing on things. How much do you need to bet per hand/spin in order to be considered a high roller? Is it better to bet on blackjack or roulette when high rolling? Can 2016 possibly get any weirder now that reportedly thousands have voted for a dead gorilla as their next President? One of those questions will be answered in this very article, and sadly, no, it’s not the last one. I myself am very much looking forward to leaving the nightmare that is 2016, but am rather certain something will happen in December to just top the entire year off. Who knows, maybe the Mayans got the end of the world right, but were 4 years early?
But anyway, there tends to be a lot of contention between gamblers about which game is better as far as high rolling is concerned. Some prefer roulette, others prefer blackjack, and honestly, that’s fine! It’s okay if you personally like one game more than the other and like to bet large amounts on it. Nobody’s saying that you can’t! I’m just outlining the reasons as to why I personally believe one is better than the other, using evidence that we can pull from various casino sites. Now, for the sake of making my argument clearer, I’m going to spoil you the winner of this confrontation, which is, drumroll please… Blackjack! I’m sorry, roulette fans, but card games like blackjack are simply objectively better. Let’s take a look at the facts, shall we?
First and foremost, let’s examine the wagering contributions. While you may not know this, if you get a bonus deposit from an online casino you need to run it a couple of times through the games in order to be able to withdraw it. This is a measure placed so that people don’t just sign up, get the deposit bonus and then withdraw it all, thus essentially scamming the casino out of its money. However, not every game’s winnings count the same – for example, if you bet 50 on blackjack and win 100, only 10 will count towards your progress. That difference is known as wagering contributions, and generally, the lower the contributions, the higher the chance that you’ll win consistently. High wagering contributions means that you lose more often than you win, but when you do win you might be able to recoup your losses. Low wagering contributions means that you win often, but depending on your bet you might not win much. We on the same page? Cool.
Slots, which we have established let you lose the majority of the time, are at a 100% contribution, meaning that if you win 100 from them, all 100 count. Roulette, on the other hand, counts only 20% of your winnings – if you win 100, only 20 count. However, while sometimes blackjack is placed on the same level as roulette at 20%, in many casinos (such as 888 and 32Red) blackjack is actually placed at only 10%… Which may sound bad at first, but there’s a good reason for it. Objectively speaking, blackjack simply allows you to win more often than lose when compared to roulette, so while losses really hurt when you’re high rolling, the wins more than make up for it.
So, in conclusion, judging by pure math and probability, it’s actually a better idea to high roll on blackjack than on roulette… But, honestly? The difference is rather marginal, especially if you know what you’re doing. True, if you’re a less experienced player blackjack is a safer option (but then again, if you’re less experienced you shouldn’t be high rolling at all), but if you’ve got more skill both blackjack and roulette give you plenty of opportunities to win. The difference is marginal, and if you’re used to playing roulette, go ahead and keep playing roulette! But if you’re uncertain, maybe try experimenting a bit with blackjack? Who knows, it just might give you that little extra edge you need!
Most of us here are high rollers, which means that we like to play our games in a high risk, high reward kind of way. The overwhelming majority of gamblers like to play it safe, with small bets in the single digits (or sometimes even less than that) – if they win, then it’s a bit of free money, and if they lose, then it’s fine – all they lost was, like, the price of a cup of coffee from a local Starbucks. But for us it’s not that simple. High rollers like to go all out, to feel the sense of real risk when we play, to actually go out and play instead of just carefully winging our bets. We feel a real sense of loss when Lady Luck doesn’t favor us, but we also really make it big when she does. Some games tend to lend themselves quite naturally to high rolling, for example roulette. Roulette is pretty great, as you can choose your own odds – they don’t necessarily need to be 1/37 if you’re not feeling that lucky. They can be roughly 1/2, or 1/3 (well, not exactly, because the green zero is still a factor, but I’m too lazy to do the exact math right now) if you bet on colors, odds/evens or groups of numbers. Blackjack, being one of the most skill-based games in casinos (right alongside poker, but that’s a different beast entirely) is also a great candidate for high rolling. But what about slots?
Ever since Apple kick-started the mobile revolution in the mid-2000s with the introduction of the smartphone, the world of mobile devices has never been the same! While in the beginning of the 21st century mobile phones were primarily used for conversations, occasional texting (remember – you had to pay for every text at the time, and it was relatively expensive) and maybe playing “Snake” and “Minesweeper”, ever since then having a mini-computer in the palm of your hand has opened up a whole world of possibilities! You can browse the Internet wherever you are thanks to 3G and 4G networks, you can stream movies and TV shows on Netflix and other similar services and you can play all sorts of different games that would’ve seemed impossible ten years ago! My latest addiction is
Being a high roller is something that not everyone can succeed at. Because it takes more than a big bankroll and betting big to be one. There are few things you need to do to be successful as a high roller and I will give you a few tips on how to make a nice profit on a regular basis. First of all, you need to understand that it’s not all fun and games to bet big, there are stressful moments and you need to know when to stop playing and when to raise the stakes. In order to properly assess the situation, you have to be rested and focused, so make sure you never play when you are tired or stressed. This actually goes for all types of players, but most of all for high rollers, for obvious reasons.
Playing online roulette is one of my favourite past times and a very profitable one, most of times. However, if you are a novice player, you may not be as lucky unless you know which variations to play and which to stay away from. But I will be so generous as to share some of my rich roulette experience and show you which
In this post I won’t give you specific suggestions for juicy high-roller bonuses, but rather some general directions as to how to pick a bonus that is suitable for you, which, in fact, is way more valuable. So let’s not waste any time and jump right into it.
We, high rollers, might not be as numerous as the regular casino players, but we are the most favourite clients at any gambling site or land-based location. It’s no coincidence that every single online casino has a VIP programme which rewards the most active and highest-betting customers. Still, it’s also true that not that many casinos know how to properly cater to our needs and secure us a true VIP experience. Some of them don’t have clear enough rules as to how you can advance up the VIP ladder. Others don’t have good enough promotions or not big enough number of exclusive offers. Yet, thirds simply don’t have anything to offer except for a better conversion of the comp points to cashback. Sounds familiar? Well, you’ve come to the right place as here I will share everything I’ve learned while playing online and how to find the best possible place to play at that suites not some but all of your needs.
