Method of No-Loss Casino Gambling

Abstract

A gambler engaged in casino gambling wagers on a game of chance, either winning or losing. Regardless of outcome, the casino invests the wager for a limited time period in a financial arrangement suited to return a profit. At the end of the limited time, the casino returns the wager to the gambler. If the wager was a winning wager, the casino returns a first bonus or share of the profit to the gambler. If the wager was a losing wager, the casino returns a second bonus or share of the profit to the gambler. The second bonus is in the range from zero to the amount of the first bonus.
