If we are talking about Las Vegas Solitaire. Were you buy a deck of cards, the game is played and money is paid for each card that is brought to the top. The whole scam depends on how much the buy in is. Usually multiples of $52. Payoffs are multiples of $5. At this rate don't bet the ranch. You need a lower buy in. At least that was how it was explained to me many years ago. Try it you won't get 10 cards to the top with a good shuffle.

"Gambling" should be looked at as entertainment. Like riding a Merry Go Round. You get off slightly dizzy and you don't get your money back. If you want to read a good book get "My Father, My Don" by Tony Napoli. My wife grew up next door to his father and her Grand Mother was good friends with his Aunt. It gives a good read to the relationship between the House and Players. And yes the House is smarter. The gentlemen in the book was well thought of by both sides of the law. Mainly because he predated Off Track Betting and Lotto and was not involved with other aspects. One of the more interesting parts of the book was how a very smart man would shoot and purposely wound a Bully in a crowded Bar and spend 4 years in jail. Of course the joke is the year was 1941. If you want to gamble you have to figure all the odds.
