Hi there student, welcome to your first lesson in the wonderful world of casino games. Let me start by introducing myself. By day, I am Mr Clarke, maths teacher and head of the guitar club at a secondary school in central Bradford. By night, I am Clarkster80, an experienced casino gamer, rubbing shoulders with high rollers and international VIPs from the comfort of my living room.
I come from a family of teachers. Generations of Clarkes have been teachers, including both my parents, my grandfather and my great grandmother. Talk about keeping it in the family! But don’t get me wrong, I thrive on sharing knowledge to enable others to develop and grow. It is the perfect role for me.
As for casino gaming, this too is in my blood. When I was growing up, my parents along with my aunties and uncles would head into Leeds each month, where they would go to the casino and have a blast. On my 18th birthday, I was properly introduced to the clique, joining them for drinks and casino games. I remember that night as if it were yesterday! The thrill, the excitement, the look of awe on my dad’s face as I threw all my birthday money down on black and came out on top! I knew this was a hobby that I would indulge in regularly.
As a mathematically trained mind, I soon began to research the maths behind casino games. Which had the best odds of success? Which strategies could be applied to optimise wins? Was it possible to beat the house? I learnt pretty much everything I could to put myself in the most advantageous position possible.
As I started to play at online casinos, I broadened my research into other areas that could impact my experience. Bonuses, software providers, industry news, I took all measures to be at the top of my game.
As a teacher, it is in my nature to want to share my expertise with others. And that is where the idea for this blog came about. I figure there are plenty of people out there who enjoy playing casino games online, who could benefit from a few lessons to up their game. So, stick around for an education in online casino gaming!
