I believe it is easier to remember if presented this way. 

1. The Killjoy. He stops playing the moment he starts to win. 

2. The Guesser. He varies his bet without rational basis. 

3. The Chicken. He reduces his bet if he starts to win. 

4. The Naïve. He wagers on bets that have high house edge. 

5. The Tenacious. He keeps on betting the same amount. 

6. The Chaser. He increases his bets if he starts to lose. 

7. The Overcharged. He does not know when to stop playing. 

8. The Bungler. He plays a game he does not know how to play. 

9. The Over-bettor. He gambles the money he cannot afford to lose. 

1. The Killjoy

Quitting in the middle of a winning streak is one big mistake a gambler can possibly make. It is a blunder. A BIG NO. The reason is simple: he’s not taking advantage of winning streaks. It’s as though he waited a long time for the opportunity to win big, but when the opportunity arrives he let it slips away. Until now it is still beyond me why there are gamblers afraid to win big. Remember that winning streaks do not occur often. At 50% winning chance, as in tossing a fair coin, tails coming out 10 times in a row happens only once in 1,024 tosses. In gambling where the casinos have the edge, winning 10 times in succes- sion occurs even less frequently than in tossing a coin. At least that is how the Law of Probability predicted it would. 

But In actual gambling, 10 successive wins can occur right at the start, occur many times over an evening, or never occur in weeks. It’s that damn Law of Probability again! No one can ever tell when the winning streak will occur. However, it is only through winning streaks that a gambler can win consistently. That is why when they occur; you must take advantage of them. When the signs show a streak will probably occur, so be ready to grab it by the neck and never let it slip away

The secret to winning big is giving oneself the chance to win big, and that chance is only in taking advantage of winning streaks. If a gambler aspires only to winning small, then that is what he gets, small winnings. I’d rather that he stays home and not waste his time in casinos as he is better off that way.

2. The Guesser This gambler varies his bet without rational basis. At times he makes a small bet, suddenly he bets big, or sometimes he never even makes a bet. A guesser does exactly that, he guess- es all the time how much to bet next. Before making a bet, he consults many things: his vibration, psychic power, horoscope, etc. If there are changes in the things around like a change in dealers or players, he also changes his bet. The guesser has many reasons to vary his bet. Just how much the guesser will bet next, nobody can guess

3. The Chicken This gambler bets big at the start, but reduces his bets when he starts to win

Baccarat. She would bet big at the start, say 10,000 pesos a hand and would keep betting this amount until she would win three in a row. Up until then she would reduce her bet to 5,000 pesos. So I asked her why she would decrease her bet after win- ning three in a row. Her reason: Winning three in a row is al- ready hard to make, so winning in the fourth should be much harder. I asked her then what she would do if she won the fourth and the succeeding bets. She said she would then keep on decreasing her bets as her chance of winning had decreased too. Then I asked her what she would do if she lost the fourth bet. The said she would revert to betting 10,000 pesos as her fair chance to win had returned. The woman’s betting system is a big joke. It is either inanity or insanity, whichever way I look at it. It will not get her anywhere but disaster. This betting scheme is the opposite of what I preach. The sad part is that she was not aware it was her bet- ting system that caused her misery. No wonder she lost too much. In her system, she gave the casino a chance to win big from her, while to herself, a chance to win small. Is this not stupidity?

While he was winning, he did something very surprising to me - he started betting small. The more he won, the smaller his bets became. He went down the scale from 20,000 pesos a hand to 10,000…to 1,000… all the way down to 200 pesos! But still he won. Suddenly, as though he was not content with what 

he was doing, he scooped up his chips and stood up. He quit. I felt sad about the event - I couldn’t almost believe what I saw. What a pity. The young man is a perfect example of a “chicken gambler”. He wasted an opportunity that does not occur often, an opportunity to win big.

4. The Naïve This gambler bets on those with a high casino edge. He does not seem to mind, or care to know how much advantage the casinos have on the bets for as long as he can make a bet.

In my opinion this mistake is the most popular, the grand- daddy of it all. Never was there a time during my stay in a casi- no that I did not see a naïve gambler. This personality I always see in almost all of the games. On top of the list are most of the slot players. There are also those who play on Roulette and on Sicbo, on Keno, on Tie in Baccarat, and Pairs on Spanish 21. This personality is the top money earner for the casinos.   

The reason is plain common sense - you give the casino the chance to win from you an amount bigger than what they actually can. In other words, casinos gain big profits from you because you allowed them to do so. It is like voluntarily paying a high price to get an item when the item is actually sold at a low price.

However, this is similar when a gambler bets on sucker bets - stupidity. What is beyond me is that casinos are full of stupid gamblers. Stupid gamblers make the casinos build more rooms and install expensive chandeliers.

5. The Tenacious Tenacious gamblers always bet the same amount all the time. Regardless of the table minimum or the maximum limit he al- ways bets the same amount. He is also called flat bettor.

t doesn’t take a genius to know that flat betting is a mistake be- cause the gambler doesn’t take advantage of winning streaks. The only way to win is to consistently take advantage of win- ning streaks

6. The Chaser

A chaser is a stubborn gambler. It seems he does not know how to stop, or know where the exit door is. The only time he stops is when he is already out of money.

This kind of gambler I call “chaser” because he chases his loss- es with the hope of getting even. In my opinion, this is the gambler that losses too much. Chasers are generally successful in their fields. They are good in business, in their professions, or in figures. However, when it comes to gambling, they are toddlers learning to talk.

7. The Overcharged This gambler does not know when to stop. He does not seem to know where the exit door is so he just keeps on playing, win or lose. 

KnOwing when to quit is an element of the Samonte System. This is the difference between coming home a loser or a win- ner. The System says that after a big win, a gambler must not quit right away but wait until he becomes a10-bet loser, or he has lost 20% of his winning - whichever is higher. 

In cases where my cold sessions are extended, I have devel- oped a way of protecting myself from heavy losses. I reduce my losses the longer a cold session lasts. For example, say I lose 10 units in the first session. In the next losing session, I would only lose say, 8 units. Should I lose again in the third session, then I would only lose say, 6 units. For as long as the losing sessions continue my losses continue   ,,,,And remember too, that losing sessions do not last forever.

8. The Bungler This gambler plays a game he doesn’t know how to play. He is a foolhardy, audacious kind of gambler. 

My advice: never play in these games unless you have conducted thorough research on them first. If you decide to play for money on any game of your choice, then you must first take time to be an expert on it. I wonder why there are gamblers who are willing to risk thousands, or even millions of hard earned dollars, playing a game they have no idea how to play.

9. The Over-bettor The over-bettor is one who bets the money he can’t afford to lose

The 1 rule for do's I think is to  do familiarize yourself with the rules, before playing any casino game, take the time to understand the rules and basic strategies.

In physical casinos, a few key practices can help maintain a harmonious environment. Firstly, it's essential to be polite and respectful to both casino staff and fellow gamblers. Using common courtesy, such as saying "please" and "thank you," goes a long way in creating a positive atmosphere. While when playing in online casinos, etiquette matters just as much. Respecting chat rules is paramount. If the casino has a chat feature, adhere to guidelines, avoid spamming, and refrain from using offensive language. Avoid disruptive behavior, such as intentionally slowing down the game, repeatedly leaving and rejoining tables, or using software to gain an unfair advantage. Know the rules of the games you're playing, especially if you're at a live dealer table, to make decisions more efficiently.
