Defense Verses Offense
There are two schools of thought about casino gambling. The first school believes that the key to winning is through a solid defense. The second school believes the key to winning is through a focused offense.
On the surface, the two seem diametrically opposed to each other. That is, you can't attain big winnings with a plan that always looks to preserve your buy-in. You never take the risk to make the big gains.
Similarly, you can't protect your buy-ins with an offense that is constantly looking to cash in on the long winning streaks. Yes, these long streaks do happen, but most of us know that casino gambling is characterized by short-lived streaks that appear then disappear as quickly in the course of a game.
So here's the ultimate question: Which is the better way to play? Defense, with consistent, yet smaller wins? Or offense, with bigger wins and more fluctuations?
Good question. But maybe it doesn't have to be an "either-or" decision. Maybe these two schools can be combined into one attack to give you the best of both worlds. That is, strong defense that protects your buy-ins, coupled with a potent offense for good wins.
Impossible, right? Actually, it is quite easy and the Benson strategies successfully combine the two in a revolutionary approach. Let me explain.
You see, defense is really important when you are losing. If you are up, gamblers have no problem risking more for bigger wins. But if you are down, now is the time to protect your buy-in. You need the defense. Without your buy-in, you cannot catch the streaks to make a comeback. Knowledgeable gamblers prefer a wait mode, battling the storm with a conservative strategy to keep them in the game.
This formula of defense when you are down and offense when you are up is the trick for bringing these two schools together. The real trick is how to monitor and switch from defense to offense with the precise playing strategies and progressions needed to combine these two schools of play.
Until next time.
