Top 10 Most Known Gambling and Casino Strategies in North America

Published

on

 

Betting and casino games are all forms of gambling that most people from diverse regions of the globe partake in. While gambling is a leisure activity, it feels good when you play it and also get to win at times. Unfortunately, gambling is usually wired in a way that the gambling service providers are the ones that usually end up gaining. So, could there be strategies that players can craft to help them win against the service providers?

Well, in this article we take you through some 10 most known gambling and casino strategies in North America:

1. Always consider your bankroll

It is best to always be considerate of your budget before you decide to engage in any gambling activity. As good rule, always set a fixed budget for your gambling session and stick by the budget whether you win or lose. Trying to chase your losses will only lead to making massive losses too expensive to afford.

2. Consider playing the free games

Another tip you can follow is to go for the free games that are most commonly offered by the online bookmarkers. Try doing this just before you decide to put in your real hard earned money. Always, practice makes perfect and by playing free games you will soon master the art of the game. Once you get acquainted with the slots games or any other gambling games, then you can begin placing small wagers to try your luck.

3. Never gamble under the influence

Gambling under the influence of intoxicating substances is the worst mistake you can make. Drugs impair your ability to make rational decisions that would otherwise help you decide when to stop chasing losses. This strategy advises you to steer clear of betting when you are drunk from alcohol or merry after taking other drugs. In fact you can only be able to win serious bets when you are sober and understand what you doing.

4. Opt for games with the best odds

Odds are usually designed in a way that they give the casino an edge. This is why it is best to look for table games or the slots machines that feature the best odds. There are claims made by players that table games usually have better odds than the slots, however doing some more research is even much better.

5. Learn the gamble laws of North America

North America is a huge continent with big countries such as the USA, Canada and Mexico among others. Each jurisdiction has its own set of laws that govern the gambling activities within it. In Canada for instance, each state usually has its own set of gaming laws that as a gambler you will need to acquaint yourself with.

6. Always go for promotions and bonuses

Some casinos offer monthly promotions or bonuses to their clients based on their criteria of offerings. You can always take advantage of such promotion or bonus offerings to win big and also benefit as you enjoy fun. To enjoy this strategy you have to shop around for casinos that are offering bonuses or promotions.

7. The Parley strategy

This strategy works on the fashion in which it encourages you to increase your bets when you are winning. Parley is a progressive betting strategy where you move on to the next action based on the result you get from your initial wager. This strategy comes in handy for players who have previously made losses trying to chase lost wagers. Play it if you wish to avoid making huge losses from gambling.

8. The Pivot strategy

This strategy works best for the roulette games and is also a progressive betting strategy aimed at reducing losses. As with many other types of progressive betting strategies, the pivot strategy aims at cutting losses and reducing the level of risk that’s taken when your winning increases. It can also be used in other casino games like baccarat or blackjack.

9. Flat betting

This strategy is commonly used when playing roulette and blackjack games of casino. This strategy is best used by beginner gamblers as it helps them study things out first before they slowly venture into serious gambling. With this trick, you stick to a flat rate regardless of winning or losing a bet. A case of example in this strategy is continuously wagering $6 whether you win or lose.

10. The Martingale strategy

In this betting strategy, the player is required to double their bet or wager after a loss. The reasoning behind this strategy is that there is a chance that you could win and recover your loss. It sounds awkward but should you be able to win after a doubling your bet, you smile all the way after making a recovery.

Suspected Digital Fraud Coming from Canada Up Nearly 11% Since H1 2023, Reveals New TransUnion Analysis

Published

on

suspected-digital-fraud-coming-from-canada-up-nearly-11%-since-h1-2023,-reveals-new-transunion-analysis

In the first half (H1) of 2024, Canada saw a significant increase in suspected Digital Fraud attempts, with nearly 5.74% of all attempted digital transactions where the consumer was located in Canada involving suspected Digital Fraud, revealed a new TransUnion® (NYSE: TRU) analysis. This is nearly an 11% year-over-year (YoY) rate increase from H1 2023, and TransUnion also documented an 11% increase in the volume of suspected Digital Fraud from Canada during this period, despite a less than a one percent (0.7%) YoY increase in the volume of transactions.

According to a recent TransUnion survey,1 more than half (54%) of Canadians said they were recently targeted by email, phone call or text message fraud attempts. Phishing was the most common scheme type (45%), followed by smishing (42%) and vishing (39%).

The increasing use of digital transactions, combined with rising suspected Digital Fraud attempts are also impacting businesses as they potentially face revenue losses and increased operational costs due to fraud. According to a TransUnion business survey for the H2 2024 Update to the State of Omnichannel Fraud report, 200 Canadian business leaders said their companies lost approximately 6% of equivalent revenue – representing $78 billion – over the past year due to fraud. The most prominent causes of fraud loss cited by them were:

  • Scam/Authorized fraud (31%): Dishonest scheme intended to trick a person into giving up something of value (e.g., account access, money, information)
  • Account takeover (19%): Unauthorized individuals taking over someone’s online account (e.g., bank, social media, email) without their permission
  • Synthetic identity fraud (18%): Use of a combination of personal information to fabricate a person or entity to commit a dishonest act for financial or personal gain

TransUnion also found that suspected Digital Fraud attempts – where the consumer was transacting in Canada and targeted businesses globally – increased on average by 10.5% YoY in H1 2024 compared to H1 2023 and impacted all industries.

Top Three Industries Globally with Highest Rate of Suspected Digital Fraud Attempts Coming from Canada in H1 2024

  1. Gambling (online sports betting, poker, etc.) – 9.6%
  2. Retail – 9.2%
  3. Government – 7.7%

Top Three Industries Globally with Highest YoY Increase (H1 2024 vs H1 2023) in the Rate of Suspected Digital Fraud Attempts Coming from Canada

  1. Logistics – 172.9%
  2. Gambling – 79.3%
  3. Video gaming – 67.8%

“Protecting customers and their businesses from fraud is essential to enabling safe and tailored consumer experiences. These findings reveal that despite the good-faith efforts that are being undertaken by companies to identify and prevent fraud to date, fraudsters continue to evolve and it’s vital that fraud prevention methods keep up with the changing times,” said Patrick Boudreau, head of identity management and fraud solutions at TransUnion Canada.

“Businesses that aren’t already doing so should ensure that they are taking advantage of fraud prevention technologies such as identity verification, IP intelligence, device reputation and synthetic identity detection as critical components of their fraud prevention programs,” he added.
