ODDS what are they?

They ways talk about odds, what are they?
Don't ever think you can put the odds in your favor in gambling.
Again "Do not ever think you can put the odds in your favor in gambling, EVER"!!!!
For odds are built in the games and no matter what, you can not ever have the odds in your favor.
No matter if count cards , handicap horses, or play house poker.
Odds simple:

1.Lets say slots have 15% percent house odds.
For every played $1.00, if receives .15 cents per play. .15 X 180 spins an hour= $27.00 hour x 8 hours= $216.00 it is BUILT IN!

2. You play poker and the house takes 10% cut. A total of 7 players with a $100.00 each= $700.00 total Most pots have average of $50.00, take 10% = $5.00, playing at 20 games a hour= $100.00 take = 6 hours $600.00, WHAT!!! WHO REALLY WINS....................

3. Horses; House take 20%, Betting $100.00 they take $20.00 from you before the race. Thats for Win, Place , Show. If you bet other tickets , you pay 35% or more.

4. Lotto: WHOOO MY GOD!
