The Built-In Advantage of the Casino
<br>Ever heard the phrase "the house always wins"? This saying describes the house edge, the core principle upon which all casinos operate. It is the casino's built-in mathematical advantage over the player in any given game. Understanding it is crucial for any smart gambler.<br>
How is the House Edge Calculated?
<br>The house edge is derived from the difference between the true odds of winning a bet and the odds that the casino pays out for that win. Consider an example from the game of Roulette:<br>
<br>
The wheel has 37 numbers in total.
The actual probability of your number coming up is 1/37.
A winning bet is rewarded with a 35-to-1 payout.
That small difference is where the casino gets its edge.
In this case, the house edge is 2.7%. This means that for every $100 bet on the wheel over a long period, [casino](https://goldfish.it/casino/leovegas/) the casino expects to make an average profit of $2.70.
