Luck, luck, luck and even more of it, is
what you need in order to win at keno. It is a blind luck game
with numbers randomly picked. In addition, the house odds are
so high (20-50%) it makes keno the least profitable game to
play. Keno should be played for fun and as a relaxing break
after games like blackjack or Caribbean poker.
Although it is a game of pure luck and the numbers are picked
randomly, some people do like to use a couple of "strategies"
when playing keno. One "strategy" involves choosing
successive numbers. For example selecting 16 and 17 then maybe
selecting 53 and 54. Although there is no proof this actually
works over the long run it does seem like many of the numbers
that come out are in consecutive pairs. Continuing the same
line of thought, some people like to play groups of three consecutive
numbers. Another "strategy" involves selecting the
numbers that came out in the last game. You may find that some
of the same numbers will appear in several consecutive games.
The advantage of Web Based Gambling in this case is that you
can try this first at the free games that are offered almost
always. You won't make money but at least you can see for yourself
if this theory works or not.
Probably the only real way to improve your chances in keno is
to make a "way" bet. Making a way bet allows you to
make several bets on the same ticket without paying extra money.
For instance you have three groups of three numbers A, B, and
C; you can circle each group of three numbers to classify them
as a group then mark your keno ticket as a way bet in the section
called "Spots/Ways Rate". Instead of writing down
9 as in a straight bet mark "3/3" this means you are
actually making three bets for the price on one. A bet on group
A, a bet on group B and a bet on group C. To carry this even
further you can even make a "combination way bet".
To do this you would simply take the same the same ticket with
your three groups circled and write 3/6 in the Spots//Ways section.
Now you are making bets on group A, B, C, AB, AC, and BC. Six
ways to win all for the price of one! This type of bet is usually
available in the keno lounges and not available on video keno
machines.
