Politicians Want to Protect us From the Evils of On-Line Gambling Part 3

This is part 3 of a multipart series of articles regarding proposed anti-gambling legislation. In this article, I continue the discussion of the reasons claimed to make this legislation necessary, and the facts that exist in the real world, including the Jack Abramoff connection and the addictive nature of online gambling.

The legislators are trying to protect us from something, or are they? The whole thing seems a little confusing to say the least.

As mentioned in previous articles, the House, and the Senate, are once again considering the issue of "Online Gambling". Bills have been submitted by Congressmen Goodlatte and Leach, and also by Senator Kyl.

The bill being put forward by Rep. Goodlatte, The Internet Gambling Prohibition Act, has the stated intention of updating the Wire Act to outlaw all forms of online gambling, to make it illegal for a gambling business to accept credit and electronic transfers, and to force ISPs and Common Carriers to block access to gambling related sites at the request of law enforcement.

Just as does Rep. Goodlatte, Sen. Kyl, in his bill, Prohibition on Funding of Unlawful Internet Gambling, makes it illegal for gambling businesses to accept credit cards, electronic transfers, checks and other forms of payment for the purpose on placing illegal bets, but his bill does not address those that place bets.

The bill submitted by Rep. Leach, The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, is basically a copy of the bill submitted by Sen. Kyl. It focuses on preventing gambling businesses from accepting credit cards, electronic transfers, checks, and other payments, and like the Kyl bill makes no changes to what is currently legal, or illegal.

In a quote from Goodlatte we have "Jack Abramoff's total disregard for the legislative process has allowed Internet gambling to continue thriving into what is now a twelve billion-dollar business which not only hurts individuals and their families but makes the economy suffer by draining billions of dollars from the United States and serves as a vehicle for money laundering."

There are several interesting points here.

First of all, we have a little misdirection about Jack Abramoff and his disregard for the legislative process. This comment, and others that have been made, follow the logic that; 1) Jack Abramoff was opposed to these bills, 2) Jack Abramoff was corrupt, 3) to avoid being associated with corruption you should vote for these bills. This is of course absurd. If we followed this logic to the extreme, we should go back and void any bills that Abramoff supported, and enact any bills that he opposed, regardless of the content of the bill. Legislation should be passed, or not, based on the merits of the proposed legislation, not based on the reputation of one individual.

As well, when Jack Abramoff opposed previous bills, he did so on behalf of his client eLottery, attempting to get the sale of lottery tickets over the internet excluded from the legislation. Ironically, the protections he was seeking are included in this new bill, since state run lotteries would be excluded. Jack Abramoff therefore would probably support this legislation since it gives him what he was looking for. That does not stop Goodlatte and others from using Abramoff's recent disgrace as a means to make their bill look better, thus making it not just an anti-gambling bill, but somehow an ant-corruption bill as well, while at the same time rewarding Abramoff and his client.

Next, is his statement that online gambling "hurts individuals and their families". I presume that what he is referring to here is problem gambling. Let's set the record straight. Only a small percentage of gamblers become problem gamblers, not a small percentage of the population, but only a small percentage of gamblers.

In addition, Goodlatte would have you believe that Internet gambling is more addictive than casino gambling. Sen. Kyl has gone so far as to call online gambling "the crack cocaine of gambling", attributing the quote to some un-named researcher. To the contrary, researchers have shown that gambling on the Internet is no more addictive than gambling in a casino. As a matter of fact, electronic gambling machines, found in casinos and race tracks all over the country are more addictive than online gambling.

In research by N. Dowling, D. Smith and T. Thomas at the School of Health Sciences, RMIT University, Bundoora, Australia "There is a general view that electronic gaming is the most 'addictive' form of gambling, in that it contributes more to causing problem gambling than any other gambling activity. As such, electronic gaming machines have been referred to as the 'crack-cocaine' of gambling".

As to Sen. Kyls claim about "crack cocaine", quotes at http://www.alternet.org/drugreporter/20733/ include "Cultural busybodies have long known that in post this-is-your-brain-on-drugs America, the best way to win attention for a pet cause is to compare it to some scourge that already scares the bejesus out of America". And "During the 1980s and '90s, it was a little different. Then, a troubling new trend wasn't officially on the public radar until someone dubbed it "the new crack cocaine." And "On his Vice Squad weblog, University of Chicago Professor Jim Leitzel notes that a Google search finds experts declaring slot machines (The New York Times Magazine), video slots (the Canadian Press) and casinos (Madison Capital Times) the "crack cocaine of gambling," respectively. Leitzel's search also found that spam email is "the crack cocaine of advertising" (Sarasota, Fla. Herald Tribune), and that cybersex is a kind of sexual "spirtual crack cocaine" (Focus on the Family)".

As we can see, calling something the "crack cocaine" has become a meaningless metaphor, showing only that the person making the statement feels it is important. But then we knew that Rep. Goodlatte, Rep. Leach and Sen. Kyl felt that the issue was important or they wouldn't have brought the proposed legislation forward.

In the next article, I will continue coverage of the issues raised by politicians who are against online gambling, and provide a different perspective to their rhetoric, covering the "drain on the economy" caused by online gambling, and the notion of money laundering.

Rare Vintage Purple With White Skull And Crossbones French Bakelite Dice Pair

Rare Vintage Purple With White Skull And Crossbones French Bakelite Dice Pair
Bakelite materials were introduced in 1907 by Dr. Leo Baekland. The process produced a hard, durable product for the manufacture of many items. In the early 1920's the process was altered with the use of a milk protein and similar items were produced only with a rainbow of spectacular and brilliant colors and marbleing patterns. This was called FRENCH BAKELITE or GALALITH which is how our dice were made. LUCITE was introduced in the 1930's. It was more cost effective to produce than the Bakelite. The Lucite process produced items with brilliant luster, seamless patterns and a jewel like transparency. Our Lucite dice are the transparent and semi-transparent type dice, either shown here or in our other listings. None of these processes are being used today however the items that have been made, including our dice, continue to rise in value as one of the most sought after collectables. Our Collection is the only one of its kind available for sale. It was a rare factory find outside of Paris, France and is a collection of Rare, Vintage French Bakelite (Galalith) and Lucite Dice in spectacular and brilliant colors and styles.

Gambling Strategies

Below is a few strategies I have picked up over the years
for gambling with the more popular casinos.

To try these strategies visit us at href="http://www.elitepokerrooms.com">Play online poker at
www.elitepokerrooms.com


BlackJack Strategies As with standard blackjack, the first
thing to take into consideration when playing online
blackjack is: "How many decks of cards are being used?" This
number can vary from 1 to as many as 15, depending on the
casino you are visiting. Single deck blackjack is hard to
find, but it is the simplest to keep track of. You simply
chart the cards as you see them.

Here is a sample:




Card played:
Suit: A 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 J Q K
D x x
C x
H x
S x











The benefit of online blackjack is that there is no dealer
to watch you taking notes. With a visible chart of the cards
played, blackjack strategies can easily be put into place.

Take note of the chart above. Cards with a designation of
"10" (that is the 10's, Jacks, Queens and Kings) number 16
out of 52 cards. About halfway through the deck you will be
able to accurately extrapolate the dealer's down card and
bet appropriately. This is a good time to make off the wall
"double downs", or taking just one hit in exchange for
doubling your bet. If you are looking at a hand of 12 for
instance, and it does not seem likely that the next card
will be a ten, take the chance for a double down.

The last couple of hands is where you need to be, so bet
conservatively so as to keep yourself in the game to the end
of the deck. By this time you should have a clear idea of
how the cards will be dealt, based on what is left unchecked
on your chart. Bet big when you know you have the optimal
chance of winning, and the minimum if the house has it.

When dealing with multiple deck blackjack, you simply apply
the same blackjack strategies as for single-deck, only to a
larger scale. The above chart is extended out for however
many decks are being used, and the cards are charted as they
fall. Most people play online blackjack the same way as if
they were in a live casino. And that is why the online
casino win at blackjack. Do not play swiftly, instead take
your time and chart the cards. In multiple deck betting, the
payoffs can be enormous, but you will need deep pockets to
maintain yourself until a 15 deck chart starts to show
trends.


Advanced BlackJack Strategies

Like the doubling situation above, these are the hands that
will make or break you. There is one rule here hard and
fast: don't split 5s, and don't split 10s for opposite
reasons.

With the 5s you are turning a hand that should be counted as
a 10 and either doubled or hit into two hands of five each,
that turn into potential problems when decorated with
7,8,9,or 10. With the two 10-value cards, you are asking for
trouble taking a nice pat 20, doubling your original bet
size, and getting stuck with a 2-7 twice. If you don't think
this happens, ask any practitioner.

What you want to do is maximize your opportunities. Aces are
the cards that you do want to split, and this is a special
situation. With the Ace, in most casinos, you are allowed
only one card after you split them. Obviously, you are
hoping for a 10 on each.

The thought here is that if you don't split your Aces, you
have a cumulative value of 2. The danger here is that if you
draw 2 10-value cards in a row, not at all unusual, you will
bust. You are also trying to maximize your opportunities by
turning a single bet into twice that amount.

See the chart for reference.



Insurance

The dealer will turn to you and ask if you would like
insurance if he or she is showing an Ace. Time-worn advice
suggests that because the odds of the dealer having a
blackjack are about 1 in 3, you answer no.

Insurance means that you are allowed to wager up to one-half
your bet that there is a blackjack or a 10-value card in the
hole. You lose the bet if the dealer does not have
blackjack, but get paid what you bet for insurance if there
is one.

However, there is some flexibility here. Suppose you have
played about a quarter of a shoe and you have noticed that
there have been very few 10-value cards seen (Note: it is
always a good habit to keep track of the cards that have
been played, if you can).

In this situation, you might elect to take insurance based
on your observation and the fact that the deck is rich in
10s. But generally speaking, it is wise to decline
insurance. Just wave it off.

Luck, Steaks, Charms, Incantations and the Doo factor

The old casino saying goes something like: "I'd rather be
lucky than good." I can personally attest to one incident
after another of players who made horrendous decisions
winning hand after hand, while sitting at the same table
with a player who has been around a while, but can't seem to
win on 20.

It happens all the time. Naturally, the problem here is a
momentary turn of events that one wouldn't want to count on
repeatedly. Anyone can get lucky, but it takes some
knowledge to be able to play and win on a regular basis.

Some people seem to be naturally lucky, while others appear
the opposite. Most of us fall somewhere in the middle. We
have our lucky streaks and times when we can't locate our
own toes.

If you are losing steadily at a table, don't stay. Take a
break to clear your head, go for a walk, change tables,
alter the situation. One response to this situation that
heard time-after-time is: "I'm due." That due factor has as
much to do with reality as George Foreman winning the Boston
Marathon. Its doesn't happen that way.

If you're on a losing steak, don't try to force it. Live to
play another day.

Money Management

Much is said concerning this topic, but little understood,
and less practiced. There are a cookbook full of recipes for
disaster known as betting systems, almost all of which will
lead to a precarious chance of risking more and more money
in the misguided hope of recovering some money already lost.


One of the more popular betting systems says to double your
bet until you win. Only two problems here: you might not win
until you hit the table maximum, or you might just run out
of money first.

Here's the scenario: you buy in for $100 at a $10 table and
lose the first hand. This system calls for you to put $20
down, and you lose again. The third hand now calls for you
to be $40, and you again lose. In order to follow this
betting pattern, you need to buy in for more money because
you've exhausted almost of your original buy-in.

So you purchase another $100 worth of chips and bet $80,
only to lose for the fourth hand in a row, not all that
uncommon. You are down $150, in just four bets. You buy $150
worth of chips, bet $160 to double your previous bet of $80,
and lo-and-behold, you lose the fifth. (actually you feel
like drinking one at this point.).

Buying in once more and betting $320, you lose that as well.
You are now out $630, and the thought of betting $640 to
make your original profit of $10 seems a little far-fetched
and illogical, but you so desperately want to leave the
table on a winning note, that you do it. And lose for eight
losses in a row! If you think it can't happen to you, think
again. (see the section on streaks.).

From your original $10 bet, you are now out $1270! Ouch! And
the table limit is $1000. Now what? You could slink away
with your tail between your legs, or go to a table with
higher limits and hope for the better there. With the way
your luck is running, you don't want to try crossing the
street in traffic. You may not make it to the other side.

The best money management system is time-honored and very
simple: Bet less when you are losing and more when you are
winning. Easy to say, hard to do. The casinos know that if
they get you in a place where you are losing steadily, the
chances are that you might start to "chase" your losses with
even larger amounts of money in an attempt to get out of the
hole you've dug. Advice: go slowly and don't try to hit home
runs.

If you find that you are winning on a steady basis, whatever
the reason, try betting a little bit more. There is a saying
around the casino: "I've won and I'm playing with their
money." It isn't their money. If you won the money, then it
is yours to keep, and any you lose will be coming from the
same pocket. Do you think the casino managers talk in those
same terms, saying to each other, "Ah hah! We won this much
today. Now we're playing with their money?!" No way.

Follow this advice: Leave when you have won. If you bought
in for $100 and you have doubled your money, take it and
run! The odds are with the casino that the longer you stay
and play, the better chance you have of losing it. href="http://www.elitepokerrooms.com">Play online blackjack

Gambling Online: The Housewife's Favourite Game

Playing blackjack online is becoming the favourite pastime of housewives everywhere. Why is blackjack becoming so extremely popular? Well, gambling online allows housewives to play their favourite game right from the comfort of their own homes without the need to travel or endure the chaotic scene that brick and mortar casinos possess. Plus, there is no need to get all dressed up to engage in online gambling and there are no worries that a man might hassle you when all you want to do is enjoy the game. If you are more interested in gambling than you are in the dating scene, then gambling online might be just the kind of pastime for you. It's also fantastic fun!

Cara Thurston, a housewife fond of online gaming entertainment, explains why she loves online gambling : "When I gamble online I have the freedom to do what I want to do and I don't have other players judging me because I am a woman. When I play online blackjack , my identity remains anonymous for the most part and I can just enjoy the game."

Gambling online provides housewives like Cara the opportunity to spend their leisure time the way they want to--relaxing and enjoying a challenging game of blackjack or any of the other games offered at online casinos.

When gambling online you will find that you can either play the game of your choice for free or you can play for real money and prizes. Of course, where you choose to gamble online will determine whether or not cash and prizes are offered. There are many websites offering free gambling but if you want to get in on real money action you will need to visit one or more online casinos to begin playing for real money.

Typically, when gambling online for real money, you will find that you will be required to become a registered member at the online casino of your choosing. However, what is particularly nice about becoming a member at an online casino is that you will be offered signup bonuses for becoming a member. Signup bonuses are a percentage of the initial deposit you place in an account when you first signup at an online casino to begin gambling for money. Such a bonus can be used to place wagers on blackjack, poker, roulette and more.

Many online casinos offer you, as a new member, the opportunity to play several blackjack variants. Blackjack variants include Vegas Strip Blackjack, Atlantic City Blackjack, Multi-Hand Atlantic City Blackjack, European Blackjack, Spanish Blackjack, Triple 7's Blackjack, Bonus Blackjack, as well as others. Yet, blackjack is not the only game available and you will find fun at the slots, the roulette wheel and all the poker tables you can dream of when you gamble online.

You may be required to download special software to your computer so that you can get in on the gaming action. Typically the software applications that allow individuals to play games are easy to install and are free to you when you create an account. This software gives you the sense that you are really at the casino--that is, without all the hubbub and noise around you that you will typically find in a brick and mortar casino. If you are a housewife and you choose to gamble online you don't have to worry about the typical problems associated with travel and travel costs. You can enjoy a simulated casino setting in a safe environment.

Are there any risks associated with gambling online? In fact, there are risks associated with any kind of gambling, whether it is online or off. The biggest risk that you face while gambling is losing a lot of money. Gambling is just that--a risk, it is important when you are gambling that you take care not to become over eager--don't be willing to place just one more bet to get the big bucks. Anyone gambling should set a budget and stick to it. Once the money is gone it is gone and placing one more bet is only going to get you even deeper in the hole than the hand before. When you are gambling you can truly benefit when you know the right time to fold.

Gambling can become an addiction. Some people enjoy the high of winning and their mood will mirror that high, just as their mood will mirror the low they feel when they lose. In essence, when gambling becomes an obsession for you or when you begin to really rely on winning to feel good, a significant problem has begun and you will need to seek help for your gambling problem before it gets out of control. There is counselling available for anyone that has gambling problems and if you suspect that your gambling is an addiction, you should refrain from playing the game and seek out assistance for your problem immediately, before it becomes an all consuming and destructive issue. Make gambling fun and you will really enjoy the experience.

Basketball Sports Gambling Strategy by SportsGambling4Fun.com

Basketball sports' gambling is a game of skill and relies on a great deal of strategy, which must be used in order to win. The challenge is to gather and analyze as much information as you can about a game, weigh the probabilities of each team winning, and subsequently compare your opinion to the odds makers. Make the right judgment and you win. To keep the sports gambling simple and fun I am only going to cover straight bets. When gambling on a basketball game, there are two ways to place a straight bet within that same game. You can either bet the line also known to as the side, or how many points will be scored in the basketball game also known as the total. The Straight Bet is betting in its most basic form, which allows you to bet at given odds, upon a winner. The Point Spread can bet on one of two selections that have been equated through the allocation of suitable points. In the Point Spread the number of allocated points are shown with a + sign for the favorable side and a - sign for the underdog. In order that the better wins, the favored team must win by more than the Point Spread. On the flip side, if a bet has been placed on the underdog, that team has to lose by less than the Point Spread for the better to win.

Example:
Detroit
-8.0
Seattle
196

In this example, Seattle is the favored team to win the basketball game by at least 8 points. The underdog team is Detroit, where the listed total for the contest is placed at 196. If you take a straight bet on Seattle, you are betting that Seattle will win by at least by 8 points. Conversely, if you bet on Detroit, you are betting that even if they do not win the game, Seattle will not win by as many as 8.0 points. Say the final score was:

Seattle 100
Detroit 98
?

If you bet on Seattle, you would have lost, because they did not win by at least 8 points. All of these sports gambling sites offer some sort of bonus for you to do your betting online with them. They are not the outrageous bonuses that you may hear about, but are adequate to start you out. You have to be careful about sportsbooks that offer the unbelievable bonus deals because they may not be able to stay around for the long haul. In most of the sports gambling sites, if you wagered $100 on Seattle, your loss would be $100. On the other hand, if you wagered on Detroit, you would have risked the same $110 to win $100. In other words you are laying 11 to win 10. The odds in the sportsbooks are listed in this manner: 10/11. The left-hand side of the backslash is what you stand to win and the right-hand side is the number you risk losing.

In this basketball game, there was a total of 198 points scored. This exceeded the total of 196 that was predicted by the lines makers, so the game went Over. If less than 196 combined points was scored in the game, the game will have gone Under. On total points at most sportsbooks, once again, the odds are 11/10.

The loser pays more than the sportsbook pays to the winner is the net profit that the sportsbook would make. This is called the juice. When looking for a sports gambling site you should look for a small juice.
A line movement in any direction indicates which team that the people are betting more on. Sports gambling sites will move the line in either direction to try and entice a bettor to bet on the side that is needed to even out the amount wagered on both sides of the game. This is way the sportsbook makes its money on the juice and do not let movements in the line influence your betting. You do not want to place your wagers with a sportsbook that does not move its line, because you would then be dealing with a sportsbook that is gambling and that is poor money management by that sportsbook. The sports gambling sites at SportsGambling4Fun.com are some of the best sports gambling sites to place a basketball bet with.

Everybody Kills Somebody Sometime (Rat Pack Mysteries)

Everybody Kills Somebody Sometime (Rat Pack Mysteries)

Las Vegas, 1960.

Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop, and Peter Lawford are the Kings of Cool---the Rat Pack. Ocean’s 11 is their first movie together and they have taken Sin City by storm---filming during the day and cavorting onstage at the Sands Casino at night. It’s clear not everyone is charmed, however, when Dean begins receiving anonymous threatening letters.

Eddie Gianelli, also called Eddie G., is a pit boss at the Sands. After twelve years, he’s got the whole town wired. But he’s still surprised when Joey Bishop drops by his table and invites him to meet with Frank in the Rat Pack’s private steam room. Frank asks Eddie to find out who’s been sending the threats, as a favor to him and Dean.

Eddie wants to politely decline, but caught between his boss, Jack Entratter’s, not-so-subtle nudging and being utterly starstruck by Dino, he agrees to look into it. He gets help from his P.I. best friend and a Jewish torpedo from Brooklyn. A few dead bodies and bruised ribs later, he remembers why he was reluctant. In a city of gamblers, Eddie has become the highest roller of all. The game is murder, and the stakes just may be his own life.

Robert J. Randisi, the man Booklist claims “may be the last of the true pulp writers,” takes his readers on a vivid, neon-lit tour of back rooms, bars, and famed gambling dens of the desert mirage that was---and still is---Las Vegas. Broads, blackjack, and bourbon flow. Celebrities, from John F. Kennedy to Angie Dickinson, strut in and out of this amazing first in a series that Rat Pack fans and crime fiction lovers will not want to miss.

Nicotine Dreams: A Story of Compulsive Gambling

Nicotine Dreams: A Story of Compulsive Gambling
Meet Kim, a fairly ordinary, middle-aged woman with a job, two adult children, and a difficult husband. For enjoyment she plays the stock market, buys expensive handbags and sneaks an occasional cigarette. But when a casino opens within driving distance of her house, her life as she knows it will soon be over. This is a story of addiction. This is a story of one woman's descent into gambling hell, where the compulsion to play slots and poker machines is so great, she will risk it all in order to place just one more bet.

Blackjack Counter Basic Strategy, 4-8 Decks

Blackjack Counter Basic Strategy, 4-8 Decks
This new Blackjack Counter (as in "Card Counter") Basic Strategy card for 4-8 Decks is a blackjack card counter's dream come true. The laminated, six-panel, tri-fold card with rounded corners devotes four panel sides to covering the possible rule combinations of allowing or not allowing doubling down after a split, and the dealer hitting or standing on soft 17. Thus the card contains four playing strategies to allow you to choose the correct playing strategy for the rules that are in effect where you play.

The strategies display color-coded decision cells in addition to showing the text of the decision so you can choose which way you learn best. Also, each strategy panel is section-coded to facilitate learning the most important decisions first. Surrender is included among the decisions, and footnotes provide alternatives when decisions are not allowed. The 3.5" x 5" panel size makes possible larger text than on other strategy cards and three-letter (not confusing one-letter) decision abbreviations, yet the card still fits in your pocket.

End panels, which contain slits, are designed to fold in both directions and to lay flat to make it easy for you to quickly refer to the strategy you wish to use. One panel contains a pithy, insightful discussion of the playing decisions to help new players learn how to play the game; another panel provides a table which shows the Player Edge for each of four rule combinations.

By using this Blackjack 6·7·8 Counter Basic Strategy Card, card counters will be able to get an even greater edge over the house.

If you count cards and vary your bet with the count, or plan on so doing, using the Counter (as in "Card Counter") Basic Strategy card results in winning about 20% more money than using regular Basic Strategy (the Counter Basic Strategy card shows a table with the Player Edge). There are no count indexes to memorize. Counter Basic Strategy is simply a variation of regular Basic Strategy except that Counter Basic Strategy utilizes a card counting method (such as the Hi-Lo or K-O) to determine when and by how much to vary your bet with the count. The playing strategies on the Counter Basic Strategy card are based on a bet range of 16 to 1, but the card can be used with virtually any bet range and any counting method.

Blackjack 6-7-8 strategy cards are also available for Basic (Playing) Strategy for 1 Deck, 2 Decks, and 4-8 Decks. The titles of the four different cards are color-coded (red, purple, blue, and green) so you can easily and quickly distinguish one card from another.

Top 10 Online Gambling Tips

The internet has made almost everything easily accessible from the comfort of our own homes. For people who think that going out is too much of a hassle, the internet can provide solutions.

For those who love gambling, but who are often bothered by casino crowds or noisy players beside them, the online environment provides a place to play online gambling.

However just like gambling in a casino, online gambling also offers the risk of losing money too. The similarity of losing money if not gambling wisely can never be avoided, whether online or not. Here are 10 tips when gambling online.

1. Make sure that it's legal to gamble online where you live. Even though gambling can be done online, it doesn't mean you can escape the law of society. There are some places that make online gambling illegal. For a period of a year in the place where I live, the online gambling shops were closed due to laws.

2. There are lots of online casinos out there. The problem is, it is hard to know which online casinos are legit and which ones provide great service. To prevent having a bad online gambling experience, look around first and read all about the company or website. Ask advice from your friends who've played online before, for a recommendation on who the best online casino is.

3. Try the games for free first. Get a feel for it for a while. There are lots of online casinos out there that make you play for free. Play for free at the various online casinos you visit. However, don't be persuaded to play at the casino that you seem to be winning for free. It just might be a rouse to make you feel that their casino is a great place to win.

4. Find a casino with great customer support. The customer support should be always there when you need them the most. They should be easy to contact and be available 24/7.

5. Check out their pay-out options. Will they charge a fee? Some online casinos will only pay up to $5,000 dollars in a week.

6. There are some casinos that give out bonuses or free online money to new players or returning players. Do remember to read the fine print on these, because there are a minimum number of bets, before you can cash out the free money.

7. Learn more how the game is played online. Online games have some variations with their rules. The rules also vary from one online casino to the other.

8. Make sure the casino you choose protects your personal data. Instead of http: only, look for https:. The "s" stands for secure line.

9. Play the games that give you the best chances to win money. Big money.

10. Have fun!!!

Avantages of Online Gambling

The last few years have seen online gambling become one of the biggest and most successful enterprises on the planet. With that has come many technological advancements in software as well as increasingly efficient and user friendly systems. There are so many advantages to online gambling compared to land-based casinos although the choice is very much a personal one. For those who haven't tried it yet, here are just a few benefits of choosing to gamble online.

* Convenience

One of the primary reasons why online gambling is so popular is because it can be done within the comfort of your own home. As long as you have a computer, a sturdy Internet connection and are over the age of 21, you can play online. Many people who are interested in games and gaming simply do not live close enough to the facilities that would enable them to play. Online gambling therefore brings the excitement of a land-based casino straight to you.

* Variety of Games

As well as the multitude of casinos now established online, there are also a wide variety of games to choose from. If you are interested in poker you will find virtual rooms where there isn't just one but several different types of poker on offer; with slot machines there are 3 and 5 reel games as well as multi-line and progressive slots; the same can be said for blackjack, roulette, bingo, baccarat and even specialty games like keno. With online gambling there is literally something to suit all tastes and all levels of players.

* Bonuses

As the online gambling industry is so competitive, many casinos will offer attractive bonuses in order to secure your business. These might be in the form of random cash prize draws simply for signing up, or additional credit when you make your first deposit. Please read the terms and conditions first though as many casino bonuses have strict stipulations about minimum deposits and credit being spent specifically within the casino that has awarded you that prize.

There are also many bonuses within the games themselves, which can boost the overall jackpot and is money you do get to take home. Many slot games, for example, have bonus rounds and free spins, where you can multiply your winnings.

* Play for Free

If you enjoy the experience of playing online, but don't want to risk losing money, there are many games online where you can play for free. Most casinos will also allow you to 'test-run' games before making a deposit. This is a great way to explore the games you are interested in and to get a feel for which ones will best suit you personally.

* Security

Many people are concerned about the safety and security of online gambling and whether or not their personal and financial details will be misused in some way. Although it's very important to always check the terms and conditions of any site, and also consult reviews and player organization's for information about a particular casino's reputation, most casinos operating online are now just as safe as their land-based counterparts.

Online gambling is a huge industry and the casinos cannot afford to lose credibility amongst players. Larger, high profile casinos have the most to lose and therefore work very hard to operate fairly and within the confines of the law. If you are at all concerned, stick to the names you know best.

* Summary

The popularity and success of online gambling is probably one of the best ways to measure its many advantages. Players have found that in many ways the online methods are just as enjoyable as those found in land-based casinos, while being infinitely more convenient and far less intimidating. If you have never played online before take your time and look around. There is sure to be something to suit your taste and style.

What You Don't Know May Hurt You: Avoid Offline Gambling Scams

With commodities escalating to greater heights, more and more people are continuously are getting poorer each day. Here, there, and everywhere, people can be found seeking ways to sustain their daily lives.

Hence, getting into fraudulent activity is another way of combating the hard times. No wonder why people are experiencing scam-related activities these days, especially those who are into gambling activities. This is because in gambling, more people are easily enticed to engage into activities that will give them an easy way to win.

The Common Offline Gambling Scam

Contrary to most popular belief, gambling scams do not just happen in the Internet. In fact, surveys show that there are more people who get victimized by scammers off line than online.

One of the common gambling scams is the identity theft. This is so prevalent because most of the people who play in the casinos use their credit cards to buy the chips.

For people who are not aware of the scheme, they will fall easily as prey. In fact, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has estimated 350,000 to 500,000 of identity theft cases in the United States each year. This goes to show that more people are not as aware of how their identity gets to be stolen.

How to avoid them

There is no better way to avoid any kind of scam but to educate one's self. Proper information about these activities will definitely help people identify any probable signs of scam at once. It is alarming to note that there are so many cases of scams these days just because people are not aware of them.

In the Financial Crimes Division of the Secret Service, authorities receive approximately 11 complaints a day from victims and 300 to 500 calls from people who have related problems. Most of the reasons why they were victimized were based on the fact that they did not know it was a scam and that the idea presented to them seemed okay.

Indeed, if people are just aware of the things that are happening around them, things would be better. So, in order to give those scammers the things that they truly deserve, it's best to educate people about the activities so that they can easily report the fraudulent person at once.

As they say, ignorance is not an excuse. It really pays to know everything.

All In: The (Almost) Entirely True Story of the World Series of Poker

All In is the story of the greatest tournament in the world---the World Series of Poker--- from its humble beginnings in 1970 as a mere gathering of Texas road gamblers to its present status as a cultural phenomenon, attracting exhaustive national television coverage, legions of fans, and thousands of players.
Professional poker players themselves, authors Jonathan Grotenstein and Storms Reback take an entertaining look at this unique experience, recounting its history through the breathtaking and sometimes brutal hands played at the Horseshoe’s tables. They introduce the colorful and seemingly fearless characters who have been lured by huge paydays---and the chance to play against the best in the world; including the legends Doyle Brunson, Amarillo Slim, Stuey “The Kid” Ungar, and Chris Moneymaker.
All In is a no-limit look at the phenomenal transformation of poker from a vice hidden in shady back rooms into the hottest game on the planet.

“Jonathan Grotenstein and coauthor Storms Reback, have done a remarkable job of research in writing All In.”
---PokerMag.com

“If you’ve ever played a hand of Texas Hold’em, you won’t want to miss this book.”
---Amarillo Slim Preston, 1972 World Series of Poker champion and author of Amarillo Slim in a World Full of Fat People

“Almost every poker aficionado will greatly enjoy this book.”
--- Card Player magazine

“Reading this book is like having Johnny Moss, Doyle Brunson, Amarillo Slim, and every single one of the World Series of Poker champions over to the house for dinner, a beer, tall tales, and a fine game of No-Limit Texas Hold’em.”
---Phil Gordon, coauthor of Poker: The Real Deal and cohost of Celebrity Poker Showdown

Gambling Heroes

Gambling is one amongst the most eminent sources of entertainment today. It is also the cause of livelihood for many people. Gambling is all about wagering money usually to acquire more wealth or even things of material significance. Nowadays the enticement of gambling is at a surge. This is why apart from ordinary people it is commonplace to see celebrities gambling in some or the other big casino.

Broadly speaking gambling is of two forms. One that relates to playing casino games and the other to bets on various sports. For instance betting on horse race, car races, sports betting are all different types of gaming because in these cases too a person puts an amount of money at stake, calculates the odds etc. Besides this there is gambling related to gambling tables, deck of cards, slot machines and the like. This sort of gambling can be within the four walls of a casino or at home. Few decades from now, gambling at home meant lot of expense and work. For a person had to collect various ingredients such as cards, table, dice, coins etc. to play. But today with the advent of online gaming any gambling aficionado can relish gaming while relaxing on his couch. Moreover with the arrival of online gambling, gaming has reached in every corner of the world.

Some of the most common gambling games are poker, baccarat, blackjack, video poker, slot machines etc. People cherish these games across the globe. Poker is the well-known game of skill. In poker players make wagers into a central pot with fully or partially concealed cards. The winner of the game (who has the best combination of cards) takes away this pot. Blackjack is the game of card counting. It's also known as twenty-one and pontoon in British English. Blackjack is popular for card counting, a skill with which players can turn the odds of the game in their favor by making betting decisions based on the values of the cards known to remain in the deck. The game of video poker is quite popular in Las Vegas. It is played by placing a bet of one or more credits and by inserting money into the machine. After this the 'deal' button is to be pressed to draw the cards. Then the player gets a chance to hold or reject one or more of the cards in exchange for a new card, which is drawn by the player from the same virtual deck. This is followed by a machine evaluation of the hands. If the hand matches one of the winning hands in the posted pay schedule the machine offers a payout.

All these games have different rules and regulations. Prior to playing any game it is better to get acquainted with its rules first. Internet is a good way to know about these moneymaking games. it provides a rule book for almost every game.

Though gambling is also a good source of revenue yet is proclaimed illicit in most parts of the world. It is legalized only at few places such as Las Vegas. However all the players should take gambling in a sporty spirit only. Its addiction can be disastrous to the concerned person as well as his entire family.

On a Rush Card Guard

On a Rush Card Guard
A player who wins a large number of pots in a short period of time is said to be on a rush. We have reproduced this poker term in a shiny gold brass coin. The attractive artwork is color-detailed on 1½ “ diameter and each piece is HAND PAINTED, giving it a one-of-a-kind quality. The coins come packaged with color graphics and are encased in a plastic cover to keep the coin in perfect condition as you use it while playing poker. Hold'Em, Omaha, Stud and other poker players can use this product to secure their cards during play. When not actively looking at their hand cards, players must place them face down on the table in front of their chips. Positioning the coin over the cards protects them from being accidentally exposed, fouled or folded.

Mean Machine

Mean Machine
British soccer star Vinnie Jones stars as--no big stretch--a former soccer star named Danny "Mean Machine" Meehan who gets arrested for drunken assault and sent to prison for three years. Behind bars he finds himself embroiled in web of prison politics, caught between a governor with a gambling problem, a crime boss who lost a lot of money on a game that Meehan lost, and a motley crew of surly prisoners and guards with grudges. It all culminates in a soccer match between a team of guards, led by a hard-nosed warden, and a team of convicts, led by Meehan. Mean Machine is a remake of the Burt Reynolds movie The Longest Yard and the plot is pretty sure-fire; it's hard not to get caught up in the tensions of the big game. Plus, the comical game commentators give the movie a good jolt of humor. --Bret Fetzer

Beating Blackjack with Andy Bloch

Beating Blackjack with Andy Bloch
Andy is regarded as one of the world's preeminent blackjack players. His notoriety is largely tied to his role as a player and manager of the infamous M.I.T. Blackjack Team, as chronicled in the Ben Mezrich's book, Bringing Down the House. Andy won so much money counting cards that he's now listed on the "Griffin List" of known card counters, and no longer allowed by any casino to employ the tactics described in his new DVD, Beating Blackjack with Andy Bloch. Although he's rarely seen playing blackjack, his celebrity in conjunction with the M.I.T. Blackjack team has been featured in the documentary "The Hot Shoe"(2003), Fox's reality series "Casino" (2004), the BBC Horizon show "Making Millions the Easy Way" (2005), and GSN's recent expose on the team in their series, "Anything to Win" (2006).

Only Andy knows how much he won playing blackjack.

Since becoming a professional poker player in 2002, Andy has excelled on the tournament circuit. He has eight WPT finishes in the money and top finishes in many other tournaments. In 2005, he won the $10,000 buy-in Ultimate Poker Challenge II championship event and won his first WSOP circuit title at the Rio.

Andy is truly unique - he earned an engineering degree from M.I.T and a law degree from the Harvard Law School, yet he makes his living as a professional blackjack and poker player. He has passed the bar exam and has practiced law exactly once. He won the 2003 Roshambo (rock, paper, scissors) World Championship. Currently, he continues to draft briefs, play the stock market, and travel around the world from tournament to tournament.

When Luck Matters In A Gambling Business

For over a quarter of a century now, gambling has dominated as an industry. More and more people do not just see this as a form of recreational activity but as a lucrative business opportunity as well.



Nowadays, there are almost 445 casinos in the United States and still growing more. No wonder why many business people are opting to start a gambling business of their own because it seems to be the in-thing today. And wherever trends come, business-minded people would surely dominate the scene.



However, like any businesses, operating a gambling business also entails careful management and makes use of strategic methods so as to increase the business? money-earning potential.



Luck or Skill?



Most people say that operating a business needs dogged determination, skills in all aspects of the business, and luck.



Hence, it applies the same thing in gambling business. But where gambling mostly relies in the stroke of luck, gambling business owners should not do so. This is because operating a business, in whatever form, should not merely rely on luck but on one?s skills and determination.



Indeed, businesses also have the risk of losing or winning in the end, just like gambling. But nevertheless, it still needs the proper management and operative measures so as to have a successful gambling business.



Things to consider



Just like any kind of business, running a gambling business also entails money. A person can never continue running a gambling business if it no longer has money.



People should keep in mind that running a gambling business is not a ?get-rich-quick_ scheme. Therefore, things that will be employed should be in conformity with the law.



It also needs good planning. Of course, there is nothing in this world that will be successful if not with good planning. Planning keeps the business right on track. It gives the owner a special guide in order to make decisions properly.



Moreover, dogged determination is required. Surveys show that almost 65% of the businesses, which were not able to succeed, had instantly given up their businesses just because of some trials.



And lastly, good accounting skill is needed in order to run a gambling game. After all, gambling entails lots of money, so it is just proper to keep track of whatever comes in and out of the business.



The bottom line here is that running a gambling business, like any other business, is not an easy job. What?s more, it needs a good combination of everything so as to get the business going, whether it includes luck or not.

The Best gambling addictions Articles on Wine
Problem Gambling

Although gambling addiction affects less than 1 percent of all gamblers, it is an issue taken very seriously by land-based and online casinos around the world.

Gambling addiction is the compulsive, or pathological, need for an affected person to gamble. Problem gambling can affect all arenas of a person's life causing financial, social, psychological, and even physical problems.

A problem gambler is someone who feels this compulsive need to keep gambling despite the affects it is having on his/her life.

There are certain criteria that define a problem gambler, including, but not limited to, gambling until every dollar is gone, gambling a longer period of time than planned, thinking about gambling causes you to lose sleep, you have tried to and can't stop gambling and you leave bills unpaid and spend all your money on gambling.

Addiction gamblers don't always necessarily gamble in regular methods, at casinos or lotteries, for example. People with this problem will bet and gamble on anything, even meaningless bets with friends or coworkers.

If a person is having trouble determining if they, or someone they know, has a gambling problem there are many tests online from various problem gambling institutes that they can accurately determine if they are affected.

Casinos and online casinos have also taken steps to identify and help problem gamblers, although they acknowledge the fact that most problem gamblers identify themselves first and seek help.

This article was written on behalf of Online Casino. At Online Casino we are dedicated to helping problem gamblers and completely advocate responsible gaming.

4 Gambling Mistakes New Poker Players Make

Poker is a game of chance, but there is still a large amount of skill involved when playing. Many new poker players make gambling mistakes that cost them a lot of money and get them out of tournaments. Some novices play free poker online and never win because of terrible gambling techniques. However, by knowing four common gambling mistakes that are made by new players, you can greatly increase your chances of winning games and tournaments.



1. Going all-in too often or in obvious desperation. In many tournaments with play money, some players go all-in the first hand. It may work for a few times, but after a while, someone will call you. In that case, you better hope that you have actually good cards. All-in can be used to get players to fold, but it should really only be used if you have a solid hand and could possibly double your stack. People should bluff very infrequently with an all-in. Going all-in with a bad hand is what many people call ?bad poker.? Sometimes you can get lucky, but the best players bet carefully.



2. Under betting. If you have a good starting hand, don?t be afraid to raise pre-flop, or bet high after the flop. If you have a great hand, then slow playing can work very well. However, when you do start placing bets in a no-limit game, they should not be too small. One reason is that you won?t end up winning as much money if you bet small. Another reason is that you are giving incentives for many other players to stay in the hand. Therefore, you are giving other players chances to hit a hand that is better than yours. The best players bet just the right amount to get it where only one or two players call. In that case, your odds for winning are a lot better.



3. Over betting. Some players get very excited when they have a good hand. They may go all-in, or lay down outrageous bets. Not only is it a waste of a good hand, but also people can start to read you. If you constantly over bet only when you have something, then people will always fold and you won?t win money. However, if you don?t have anything, then people will also know because you aren?t laying down monstrous bets.



4. Finally, it is important to know when to fold. The best poker players are constantly watching other players, and guessing who could have better hands than they have. If someone bets high, and you know you have the best possible hand (which occurs rarely), then you can call. However, you need to know the odds of the other person having a better hand. Additionally, many new poker players call large bets when they don?t have anything, they just need a draw card. This is the worst type of gamble. Seldom will a person get that final card they need for a straight or a three-of-a-kind. Knowing the odds is key to playing good poker.



New poker players are often very easy targets for experienced players. Many new poker players make gambling mistakes that can be capitalized on. In order to avoid those mistakes, it is important to study the odds in poker, analyze what other players could have, and bet intelligently. If you do that, then you will have a fairly successful poker playing experience.

Gambling Control ? The History Behind It

Attempts to control Gambling is not a new invention and is know to exist since the early ages of developing civilization and culture. And just as civilization developed, so did the split of society in different classes. Law?s controlling gambling had very close ties to the society structure and people?s belonging to the certain classes.



Rome?s Emperors are known to play ?dice? and did it fairly often, especially August and Claudius. But regular citizen of the Rome were allowed to play only during certain seasons. During the Middle Ages Church and Royalty of different countries made attempts to get rid of gambling and their failures serve as a proof of humanity strong interest to this form of entertainment. Long list of church?s hierarchs could be started from St. Kiprian Carthaginian (about 240 AD) and continue up to St. Bernardino Of Siena (1423). In 1232 Fredrik II published a ban on ?game of dice? and Louis IX in 1255 outlawed production of ?dice? and associated equipment.



During this long period most of the gambling was represented by variations of ?dice? games. Card games didn?t become popular until about 1350. Interesting thing is that all bans and prohibitions were directed against the sins associated with games and not so much the games themselves. Church was more worries by drunkenness and swearing that accompanied the games and government was interested to stop laziness, wastefulness, fraud and cheating and criminality that were that were obviously associated with gambling.



That gambling itself were not considered an evil could be seen from a fact that in 960 Bishop W. Cambrian invented a church version of ?game of dice?. His goal was not to root the games but turn them into something good and useful. British Monarchs starting with Edgar III published number of restriction laws with purpose of protection men sports and martial arts. Henry VIII announced gambling houses outlawed, even though he was an apt gambler himself, because they distracted young people for archery and military training. This Henry?s verdict against ?public game houses? existed in England about 400 year ? till 1960?s.



Our days are not any different and each country is trying to find its own ways to control historically developed interest humanity to gambling. Unfortunately they are too numerous to even attempt to list them but it?s not even a point of this short article. Perhaps it?s time to stop controlling and start educating people. Responsible gambling is a source of many hours of entertainment and if properly educated perhaps a wider population can enjoy it.

5 Pro Gambling Tips the Online Casinos Won't Tell You


Playing in Online Casinos can be either a very good experience, or a very poor experience; depending on how much money you gain or lose. The success of your online casino endeavor depends on your gambling abilities. It is true that gambling is mostly based on chance, but there are many things one can do in order to maximize the chance for success. Following these few tips can help you become a better gambler.

1. Set limits and monitor your money. A large part of gambling is money management. If you set limits for yourself, you can avoid losing too much money. Also, if you set a limit, you will become more conservative in play as your money approaches the limit. Conservative play can often lead to gains. Forcing yourself to work with a certain amount of money will force you to monitor your bets on every game. Players often get into trouble when they are careless when they bet. It may even be a good idea to set aside certain amounts of money to use for each online game. You may gamble a third of your money at a poker table, and use the rest to play a different online game. Not only can this help you eventually win more money, but also you can have more fun playing different games, rather than losing all of your money on one game.

2. Watch how other players bet and base some of your bets off of theirs. Some players bet very conservatively if they have a terrible hand. Use that to your advantage, and raise your bet. You can also notice a player with a shaky hand, and possibly use your bet to force that player to fold. If you yourself have a good hand, gradually increasing your bet is a great way to draw more players in and increase your predicted winnings. It is very important to be aware of everything going on in the game when gambling.

3. Online casinos wont tell you, but if youre a better player, it can sometimes be advisable to go into a lower skill-level game. The bets are lower, but your long-term winnings can be greater. Additionally, a great way to increase winnings is to divide your skills among a lower level game and a higher-level game. Gambling in a lower-skill room can be a safety net while you gamble with more money in the higher skill games. Once you become skilled enough, even the high level games will yield great success for you.

4. Know when to stop playing. Unfortunately, some players start losing and just keep gambling. This leads to immediate trouble. The best advice is to know your limits, and realize when you are starting to burn out. Casinos generally love players suffering from burnout, because those players will be less alert and more likely to spend more money. If you are tired, and stay in with hands that arent so good, you are probably suffering from burn-out.

Gambling has the potential to give you great financial gains, as well as financial losses. The best advice is to have as many safeguards as possible. These safeguards can ensure that, in the event of a failing financial performance, you will not lose too much money and will be able to play again. The best players are always alert and think ahead. If you think ahead, you will surely have a positive experience in whatever online casino you choose.

Sorry, Wrong Number

Sorry, Wrong Number
Barbara Stanwyck and Burt Lancaster star in Sorry, Wrong Number, an odd telephonic thriller that starts off with a bang. Stanwyck, playing a shrill invalid, is at home alone and phoning around to find her husband. Thanks to a crossed wire, she overhears a murder plot, but she can barely get anyone to pay attention to her, let alone believe her. The rest of the film is played out in telephone conversations and flashbacks as our increasingly frightened heroine tries to find her husband and unravel the murder. Stanwyck, as always, gives a terrific performance, managing to make her character both unlikeable and compelling at the same time. Lancaster, as her kept husband, is handsome, virile, and trapped all at once. The plot, expanded to a film from a tight, dark little radio play, wanders at times but gathers itself back together for a corker of an ending. --Ali Davis

Gilda

Gilda
All film noirs need deceit, betrayal, dialogue hard as diamonds--and dames even harder than that. But Gilda is the only one with the dame front and center, and for good reason. Rita Hayworth shimmers in the 1946 classic, which spins on a tortured plot involving the title character (Hayworth); her imperious husband (George Macready), a ruthless casino owner and head of an Argentine tungsten cartel (!); and Johnny Farrell (Glenn Ford), Gilda's ex-lover and now her husband's go-fer. But no one watches Gilda for the plot, except to learn that all the characters have secrets--perhaps even ones they would kill for. Hayworth captures Gilda's vulnerability beneath her devil-may-care front ("If I'd been a ranch, they would have named me the Bar Nothing"). Not to be missed: Hayworth's slinky striptease to "Put the Blame on Mame." --Anne Hurley

Cabin in the Sky

Cabin in the Sky
Hollywood's first all-black film since The Green Pastures tells the vibrant fable of rascally Little Joe, torn between the love of his good wife Petunia and the wiles of good-time bad girl Georgia Brown...and caught in a tug-of-war between emissaries from the Lord and Satan. How can virtue triumph over evil? Well, as Petunia says, "Sometimes when you fight the devil, you gotta jab him with his own pitchfork." Debuting movie director Vincente Minnelli (An American in Paris, Gigi) and stars Ethel Waters, Eddie "Rochester" Anderson, Lena Horne, Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington are more than a match for the devil in this musical treasure. With a soundtrack of dazzling standards including Taking a Chance on Love and Happiness Is a Thing Called Joe, Cabin in the Sky is a joyous classic.
