Article: Play the table minimum when you're new at a game. This amount will typically be about $5 and is a good place to start while you're getting comfortable learning the rules. Once you understand a game better, you can start increasing your bets to $10 and $20. The reason you lose so much money playing slots is because you can play them so quickly. Table games take more time, thus any money you lose will be lost more slowly. Even a nickel slot machine loses you about twice as much per hour as a $5 table game. So take a seat at a blackjack table, order a drink, and enjoy the slower pace. You can opt to sit out every other round to draw out your money as long as possible. Try using a system in which you change your next bet depending on how your previous bet worked out. For instance, increase your bet by 50% every time you win. Betting systems are meant to increase your chances of winning in the short term, but can not improve your odds long term. Another strategy is to double your bet each time you lose. Also, you can try betting a quarter or one half of your remaining chips each time you place a bet. Since no betting system can eliminate the house edge, temporary gains will always be balanced out with big losses eventually. Limit your usage of betting systems to a few rounds and walk away while you're ahead.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Start with a small bet. Play table games at a relaxed pace. Use a betting system. Use betting systems only for a few rounds.

Problem: Article: If a person rushes to respond or share their own opinions, they stand in the way of empathy. Hold mock conversations in which one person talks while the other person hears them out completely. Encourage the listener to turn to face the speaker and make eye contact. The listener should be trying their best to understand what the other person is saying, not simply listening to reply. Those learning empathy need feedback to determine if they understand others' messages during communication. Saying what the person said back to them in a different way helps them double-check that they got the right message. Paraphrasing may sound like, "From what I'm hearing, you seem very shocked and upset about the results of your doctor's exam. Is that right?" If the message was not received correctly, the speaker can try to relay it again so that the listener understands. Paraphrasing can also be taught in practice situations to help them feel confident doing it in real-life conversations. Identifying what someone is feeling can be challenging in the moment. To build the skill, start at the end: with the emotion you think the person felt. Then, reflect back and analyze other details, like facial expressions, body language, tone of voice, and the actual words that were said. For instance, if a wife guessed that her husband was angry, she might work backwards and recall that his arms were crossed, he was pacing, he had a sneer on his face, and his speech was overly sarcastic. Noting these details can help her read future nonverbal and verbal cues more easily. Help adults learn empathy by breaking down different scenarios and reflecting on the experiences of the people involved. This may work best by using scenes from popular movies or TV shows. For instance, a scene from a movie may portray two friends fighting. Have two people role-play the scene and discuss what each character may have been thinking and feeling, and what cues help you figure that out. Have everyone start by spending 5 or 10 minutes breathing deeply and generating good vibes about themselves. This might include silently repeating affirmations, like "I am worthy," or simply envisioning giving oneself a warm hug. In subsequent meditation sessions, they can start focusing on a friend or family member. Radiate positive thoughts towards that one person for the full exercisejust for about 10 minutes. After focusing on loved ones for a few sessions, they can then progress to radiating good vibes to a virtual stranger, such as the nice barista at Starbucks or someone they heard about on the news. Loving-kindness helps connect with the deeper human side of oneself and others, increasing a person's ability to feel empathy.
Summary: Practice listening without interrupting. Paraphrase what others say to verify understanding. Work backwards to read others' nonverbal and verbal cues. Imagine stepping into the shoes of others. Practice loving-kindness meditation.

Use positive language and action-oriented verbs, and include specific details about the position and employer. For example, a help wanted ad headline reading, "Secretary needed for realty office," could be more effectively reworded in this way: "Dynamic Executive Assistant needed to organize, manage and oversee office procedures for busy, uptown real estate firm." Before you get into the more creative aspects of writing help wanted ads, it is important that you provide readers with some basic information that will give them a preliminary idea of what your ad is all about: Give your company name and location. List the job title, along with specifics like job level, full/part time, temporary/permanent, night/day shift, salary range, application due date and date needed to start. An example of a suitable help wanted advertising opener would be, "ABC Corporation, located in Capital City, is currently seeking a full-time, entry-level Specialist to assume the night shift on a temporary contract basis. Salary is market-competitive and commensurate with experience. Applications must be submitted by March 1, as this position is expected to start on April 1 and run for a total of 6 months." Qualifications include any expertise that may be required for the job, such as knowledge of computer programming, familiarity with specialized equipment, proficiency within a certain skill-set and or an understanding of job-related terminology. For example, your help wanted ad qualifications list may read like, "must know how to use basic accounting software, able to use a 10-key with 100 percent accuracy and familiar with billing/coding terms." List any formal training requirements. Help wanted ads should include details about college education and/or special certification courses that apply to the position. Be specific about the type of experience you are seeking in prospective employees. In addition to employment-length guidelines, also include generalized experience requirements. For example, you may say, "Candidates should have at least 2 years of hands-on experience working in the industry, and should be able to prove focused experience in the areas of customer service, recruiting and training." This is a chance to sell yourself, and should include a number of components: Say something about your company's history and/or reputation. For example, you may include something like, "We are the industry-recognized leader in providing customized, effective marketing solutions, in business since 1977." Expound on the company culture. For example, you may choose to point out the open-door policy of management, the casual office atmosphere or the importance you place on team building. Offer details about the benefits of working for you, such as advancement opportunities, insurance, 401K matching, bonuses and incentives plans. Include a standard equal-opportunity employer disclaimer. Instruct interested prospects on how, exactly, to move forward with the application process. You may want them to fax a resume, email a letter of interest or complete an online application. Provide readers with a contact name, phone number and email address.
