In home poker games it is common to be playing against someone you know well but the best advice is to leave friendship outside the door, especially in tournament poker. Soft playing a friend is cheating all of the other players at the game who would prefer to see you bust out your friend, getting them closer to the prize money. I do agree that poker is a “cheating game.” It’s always been a cheating game and it always will be.

If you do not want to utilize the simple math to cheat at the poker game but just want to find an easier and safer way. The card marking is recommended. There are two types of marking cards: ultimate marked cards and luminous ink marked cards.
Ultimate marked cards:
1.
Arrange an order for the suits to be marked on the card. A common system of ordering cards uses the consonants from the word CHASED to order the suits. This code stands for: Clubs, Hearts, Spades and Diamonds.
2.
A. Use the cluster method to identify the suit (take Bicycle ultimate marked deck as an example). There are five hash marks in the pinwheel under the man at the top corner of each Bicycle card. Using a fine tipped red or blue sharpie, depending on the color of the deck, color in the hash mark within the pinwheel on the right side which represents the suit of the card according to the CHASED order.
B. If the Bicycle deck of cards is a Club you would color in the first hash tag, for Hearts the second, Spades the third and Diamonds the fourth.
C. Mark the right side of the Bicycle poker card because when they are fanned in your opponents hand in a game like Poker, it is most often the right corner of the card which is showing.
3. Mark the numerical value in the fan.
A. The fan is the flower shape being held by the man at the top corner of the Bicycle playing card. If the flower is completely unmarked, it is an Ace. Use a red or blue pen to mark out the petals on the fan.
B. Start marking with the petal to the right of the top/center of the fan, or what could be considered 'one o clock'. Color in this petal to signify a 2. Continue around the flower with 9 being the petal on top of the fan.
C. Color in the circle at the center of the fan to identify it as 10. Any face cards should also have this center circle colored in. The circle plus the top/center petal colored in will be a Jack, the circle and the next petal to the right would be a Queen. The center circle plus the third, or horizontal petal would be the King.
4. Repeat the marks on the opposite corner.
A. Each Bicycle poker card has the value flipped on the face of the card, meaning that it can be held in the hand of your opponents 'upside down' from where you made the mark. Repeat your marks on the opposite corner of the card to be sure it is visible regardless of which way your opponent holds the card.
B. This also makes the card look consistent, making it less obvious that the deck is marked.
C. Make your marks on a new deck of Bicycle cards. The color of the deck will fade and you want your marks to fade with it and not be darker than the color on the deck.
Invisible ink marked cards:
1. Prepare a deck of Bicycle playing cards to be marked (usually the red-coated-back cards is the prime choice), an invisible ink pen, material of creating infrared ink, a pair of invisible ink contact lenses or luminous ink glasses hat can see invisible ink. A common marking system uses is the font of the number of each card, and some graphs stands for the suit: Spades, Hearts, Clubs, and Diamonds.
2. Use the professional infrared ink to mark on the back of Bicycle poker cards. Different cards are coated different colors on their backs, the customized luminous ink need to be blended to meet the need of the cards you use. Mix different material of the invisible ink to make the ink and try on the practice cards until you get the best one (of course, you also can buy this luminous invisible ink from the supplier). What is more, you also can try to create the lemon juice ink at home, which is very easy.
3. Fill the invisible ink into the invisible ink pen, when the tip of pen soak enough luminous ink, use it to write on the backs of each piece of card. After marking, wait some second until the invisible ink is disappearing or invisible to the normal eyes.
4. Wear the luminous ink contact lenses or invisible ink glasses to detect the marked cards (if you use the luminous ink contact lenses, please wear them accordance with the direction).
Of course, the 2 ways of card marking also need practice.
I’ve heard it described many ways. Some people say it’s “A place to have fun” others say its “Disneyland for adults”. No matter what you think a casino is, keep this in mind. A casino is a business. BIG BUSINESS!! Bob Stupak, the former owner of Vegas World Casino, told US and World Report, “Its our duty to extract as much money from the customer as we can and send them home with a smile on their face.”
So, how does the casino go about extracting money from you? Do they Cheat you?
NO!
They don’t have to cheat because except for Blackjack and Video Poker, every Casino game has a built-in profit on every bet. This is known as the House Edge or Casino Advantage.
Every bet you make has a certain probability of winning or losing. If you bet on the flip of a coin, the probability of heads or tails is 50-50. This would be an even money bet. If you bet a dollar and was paid a dollar when you won, you would be paid TRUE ODDS. However, if the casino only paid you 95 cents every time you won instead of a dollar the House edge would be 2.5%. Simply put, The house edge is the difference between the true odds and the odds that the casino pays you when you win.
Look at this It shows the Casino’s advantage for different casino games. All are fixed except for Blackjack and Video Poker. These two games actually can have a positive payback depending on the skill of the player and the rules or payback table.
Look at the game of Roulette. You will see that the house edge is 5.26% for the double zero game. This is how we figure the edge. In the game, there are 36 numbers plus the 0 and 00. The odds of you winning is one in 38 or 37 to 1. If you win the casino pays you 35 for your dollar bet. You keep your original dollar and are paid an additional $35 returning $36. The difference is two dollars (38 minus 36). Divide the $2 by 38 which is the true odds and you come up with the house edge of 5.26%. So you could actually cover all the numbers on the layout and still lose money. These are great odds for the house but not for you. Games like Roulette, Craps, Big Six a have a fixed percentage because one roll or spin will never change the outcome. There will always be 38 numbers on a roulette layout and 12 numbers on a pair of dice.
Blackjack is in a different category because every time a card comes out of the shoe, it changes the makeup of the cards remaining. The advantage can shift from player to house depending on which cards have been played and the Skill in which you play your cards. Video Poker also is based on skill. If you play the perfect strategy, there are actually some games that have a positive return based on their pay table.
From the above chart, you can see why a casino does not have to cheat to make money. Does that mean you will lose every time? No of course not. If you did you wouldn't keep coming back. However, in the long run, the casino will win on negative expectation games.
Until Next time remember:
Luck comes and goes.....Knowledge Stays Forever.
