Scratch cards are one of the easiest gambling games to play and offer good odds of winning for the player. Personally, I play the big lotto drawing, but my wife lives for the scratch cards. I would not go so far as to say that scratch cards are stictly a sport for women. I have known men who enjoyed scratch off cards immensely. Scratch cards are so easy to play that all you have to do is read the instructions that come with the scratch cards and simply scratch off the logos to see whether or not you have won. Scratch cards come with the instructions for each particular game printed on them so that there's no way that you can goof up the game play, as long as you read the instructions. THEY COME IN A VARIETY OF DENOMINATIONS Scratch cards come in a variety of denominations. This means that you can buy one for as little as a single dollar or for as much as ten dollars or more. Depending on how much money you want to wager dictates the denomination of the scratch cards that you buy. One thing that many people may not realize is that your odds of winning get better with the higher denomination scratch cards. Let's say that for example, a one-dollar scratch card offers odds of one in seven that you will win some amount of money. Now let's assume that a ten dollar scratch card would offer odds of one in two-and-a-half of winning. This is typically how the odds go with scratch cards, the higher the denomination of the scratch cards, the higher your odds of winning some money back. Generally the odds of winning are printed on the back of scratch cards, so you will know just exactly what your odds of winning truly are. ALWAYS READ THE SCRATCH CARD RULES While scratch cards are probably the easiest gambling game to play, you do need to be aware of a few things. First of all, the higher the denomination of the scratch cards, the more difficult the game. Instead of simply scratching three places and looking for three matching logos to see if you have won, you have to match numbers to logos and such. This is where reading the rules of the scratch cards become important. The companies that make scratch cards do this on purpose. If you do not read the instructions for each card, then your chances of making a mistake or not realizing that you have in fact won some money, then the less money that the company has to pay out to the winners. Many of the scratch cards, particularly of the higher denominations, will disallow winnings for a person who may have scratched more logos off than he or she was supposed to. Because of this, you generally do not want to just grab scratch cards and scratch off all of the logos and then read the instructions. Many players will always double check their scratch cards to see if they have won. This is because if you are playing a number of cards it can be quite easy to accidentally overlook a winning ticket if you are not paying close attention. CHOOSING THE RIGHT SCRATCH CARD FOR YOU When deciding on which scratch cards to spend your money on you may also want to look at the possible payouts that you could win. Odds are that you will not win the grand prize, which is usually thousands of dollars, but you may have decent odds of winning the mid range prizes that can run up to five hundred dollars or so. Often times you have good odds of winning back what you paid for the scratch card. If you buy a single dollar scratch card then you have good odds of winning back one dollar. If you buy a ten-dollar scratch card then you have good odds of winning back ten dollars. Do keep in mind what the odds are for each card. A ten-dollar scratch card will let you win one in two and a half times but the amount that you win may only be ten dollars. So if you buy three ten-dollar cards, you may win on one of the cards, but it might only be ten dollars. In the end, you can win some money playing scratch cards, and there are many stories to recount examples of people winning. Keep in mind though that the overall odds of winning are stacked against you and that winning the big grand prize amounts are very hard to do. Play scratch cards for fun, not as a way to try and win that great big payday. Scratch cards, and all gambling for that matter, should be seen as a way to have fun and to enjoy yourself, not as a way to solve your financial difficulties. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Alvin Nedrow writes about his favorite topic of gambling.
