Some Tips In Keno Betting – by Jeff Gambler

 Keno is one game that is definitely fun to play,especially when one wins it big. It is also a very addicting game to get into. But in order to really be able to cash in on the game, you must know how to bet properly on the game. Here are some tips and tricks that you can use in filling your keno game cards. One thing to remember when using these suggestions is that these are only meant to increase your chances in the game and should not be used as a long term strategy. Considering the probabilities associated with the game, no strategy can be really devised that can beat the game and give a long term winning streak to the player.

Use many combinations

Instead of trying to win big by going for the major combinations, you can play the smaller combinations. This way you can ensure that your bets will not be depleted immediately while slowly increasing your winnings. You can further increase your chances on the small bets by playing many combinations. These combinations offer a wider variety of play that you can find useful in as many different ways. The different combinations that you can play are already shown in the side of the ticket, or in case of online keno, can be easily clicked on screen.

One combination that you can play is the “2/3 1/6” game, also called the way ticket. In here, you mark the appropriate box on then mark six numbers on the card. You the encircle an additional two groups of three numbers each. The bet on these combinations is $3 and you divide it evenly on the three combinations, a dollar for each one. This way you can increase your chance in the draw.

Another way that you can use to boost your odds is by using a king. A king is basically any number that is encircled alone in a card. This number can then be used on all the combinations that are then played on the card. This way, you can be assured of winning many combinations as long as these have the king.

How much bet to place

As have been said before, it would be very unlikely to get the jackpot in one shot. So rather than trying to win it by placing several large bets, you can play smaller bets on the game. One easy way that you can increase your winnings is by playing progressive jackpot. In this play, the jackpot is increased after each draw as more people play. One thing good about playing in progressive jackpots is that the house edge actually decreases over time. This means that for the succeeding draws, you can gen higher and higher chances of winning. In some cases, the jackpots in some casinos have gotten so big that players can expect a hundred percent return on their bets.

For those who want to get even more cash from the game, it would be better to go casino hopping instead of sticking to one joint. Casinos offer differing pays on the game, so players can compare their tables and chose the ones with the highest returns. This way, you can be sure to get a good deal even with the same starting bet.

10 Essential Keno Tips For Players Of Every Level – an article by Cary Clark

If you’re looking for Keno tips that will increase your chances for winning money at this popular casino game, I’m afraid you’re out of luck already. There are no strategies that can help you improve your odds of winning at Keno because all of the numbers are selected randomly so no number is ever more likely to come up than another number. Tips for Keno should, therefore, be limited to such issues as money management. For those interested in the game, however, some of the more popular keno tips may be of interest.

1. The number one rule for gambling, and the most important of all Keno tips is to never gamble with “dear” money; only gamble with “excess” money. In other words, never gamble with money that you will need now, or may need in the near future, to pay for your financial commitments and everyday living expenses.

2. If you want good odds to win more than you wager, the best tip anyone can give you is to play almost any other casino game than Keno. The Keno game offers some of the worst odds in any casino, to the point that the game is virtually guaranteed to be, at best, a slow way to lose all of your money.

3. If you want a better chance to win at Keno spend your time with an online game rather than a live casino game. Payouts at live casinos range from about 60% to 70%; probably the worst payout percentage in the house. Payout percentages at most online Keno games are significantly higher.

4. If you’re a serious Keno player you should always compare various Keno sites before settling down to play. While most payouts and selection choices are similar, if not identical, it is possible to locate sites, including online sites, that offer better payouts or more play options in an effort to attract more players.

5. One of the most popular Keno tips is to pick consecutive numbers, such as 28 and 29 or 33, 34 and 35. There is no rational justification for this strategy although a casual observance of actual drawn numbers may seem to somehow justify the logic.

6. Another strategy frequently found among regular Keno players is to decide on a list of numbers and then play those same numbers continuously over a number of games. For some addicted players playing the same numbers may continue not just for hours but sometimes for days and weeks on end.

7. Some players believe that one of the best Keno tips is to start playing numbers that haven’t come up recently in previous games. The theory here is that those numbers must soon start hitting in order to bring their occurrence up to expected levels over the long run.

8. Other players choose numbers that have come up recently, apparently believing there may be something irregular about the selection process that actually favors those numbers.

9. If you’re interested in playing Keno for a longer period of time select a large number of spots on the card. This way you’re more likely to win at least something on each card, even though you’ll still be losing money in the long run.

10. If you’re looking for Keno tips that will help you try to win that once in a lifetime fortune you should also play more spots on each card. If you hit all of those many numbers the payoff can be astounding. But the odds of it happening are astronomical. For example, playing 14 spots your odds of hitting all 14 numbers are about 1 in 389 million.
