Black jack

The chances of winning blackjack is strongly based on the player's hand, but also on the banker's hand. A global division can be made by distinguishing so-called soft hands and hard hands.

In a soft hand, the player has a hand with an ace, which can have both a value of 1 and 10. This is beneficial, as there is little risk when drawing new card, while there is a reasonable chance that the player will get 21 or another high number on the next card.

In a hard hand, on the other hand, the player does not have an ace or an ace that by definition has a value of 1, because with a value of 10 the player is above 21. With a hard hand, the chances of winning are lower, although hard hands can also be won.

When betting on a single number, the probability of winning is many times greater (but because of this, the potential profit is much higher).

Poker

Calculating the odds of winning in poker is a little more complicated, considering that tactics also play a role here. Based on the hand of all players and the cards on the table, it can be calculated during the game who is most likely to have the best cards at the end of the round.

In poker, however, the person with the best cards does not always win, because bluffing and other tactics can also be used. The winners are at poker therefore, based on a combination of card combinations present and personal tactics and skill.

Betting

Winners are at betting calculated by the casino or bookmaker. What exactly these calculations are based on is not entirely clear.

In sports betting, odds are usually used in the form of a two-decimal number. This ratio indicates how many times the player gets his or her bet back when this outcome is bet on and this outcome turns out to be correct.

Example of football betting : in case of a win team A has a odds of 2.50, a draw has a odds of 4.00 and in case of a win team B has a odds of 1.80. According to the casino, the outcome with the lowest odds is the most likely.

However, there is little to say about the actual chances of winning, because too many factors play a role in most sports.

Advantage of the house and chances of winning

With every bet, ‘the house’, or the casino, has a certain advantage over the player. This is how the casino makes a profit: on average, it wins more often than the player.

The advantage of the House differs per game and affects the chances of winning. In roulette, The House Edge is usually 2.70. This is in the payout.

For example, with the correct prediction of a single number, the player gets 36 times the bet, while 37 numbers are present in the game. The greater the house advantage, the lower the player's overall chances of winning.
