Britain Bets on Internet Online Gambling

Posted on by John Johnson

 

 

By legalizing online gaming, it hopes to bring betting companies in from offshore — and bring tax revenues home

 

It doesn’t have any ritzy Vegas-style casinos — at least not yet. But Britain has gone mad for betting. Newsstands are crammed with glossy gambling magazines and a national daily newspaper devoted entirely to games of chance launched last month. Some cable and satellite channels air nothing but poker and casino games. This year Britain even opened the world’s first casino college, where croupier trainees learn the tricks of the trade. Now, the government hopes to make Britain the global hub of online gambling.

 

Britain has already laid out the welcome mat for online betting firms which allow customers to wager electronically on everything from horses and soccer matches to the winners of reality TV shows and the Oscars. Such Web sites are operated legally by traditional street-corner bookies like Ladbrokes and William Hill, as well as by Web upstarts such as Sportingbet, UKbetting, and Betfair. They pay 15% of their gross profits in tax. So far, that’s been a pretty good bet for the government: Tax proceeds have topped $2.5 billion for the Treasury since 2004.

 

Now Britain is set to increase the stakes. Parliament has enacted sweeping new legislation that will open up the online market, starting next year, to traditional casino games such as poker, blackjack, and roulette. Britons already play such games by the millions, but the companies offering them are based in offshore tax havens such as Gibraltar, the Channel Islands, and Costa Rica. The government hopes that by becoming the first country in the developed world to legalize online gambling, it can lure offshore outfits to locate on British soil and pump even more revenues into public coffers.

 

BETTING LEADER. It’s a huge opportunity. Bookmaking has been legal in Britain for nearly 50 years, and the British are notorious for their love of betting. But the Internet has drawn in millions of new punters who never would have set foot in the betting shops found in every British town. …

Five Quick Ways to Better Your Hold’em Casino en ligne Game

Posted on by John Johnson

 

 

If poker matters to you – if you really want to become a winning player, and not just wish you were – you owe it to yourself to take the steps that matter.

 

The hours before dawn are bad times for the sleepless. I had played poker too long, so I drove home, turned on the television, and started channel surfing, but all I could find were infomercials and bad prints of old movies – the kind in which the sound is nearly unintelligible and the once-shimmering black-and-white tones have long since faded to mottled gray. The infomercials weren’t much either, but at least they were watchable, and when you can’t sleep, that’s good enough.

 

Those infomercials all had one thing in common: They promised instant results. Wanna lose 15 unwanted pounds, build abs of steel, get rid of that ugly cellulite? Never mind what the problem might be, each product promised results instantly. If it’s good enough for late-night television, I figure it’s good enough for me. If you want to improve your Hold’em game in a New York minute, here are five ways that will jump-start your game and improve your play.

 

1 Read the newsgroup: If you don’t have a computer, now is the time to go out and buy one. When you get that box home, connect to the Internet and read the discussions and poker news on the Internet’s rec.gambling.poker (RGP) newsgroup. While you’ll find lots of social chatter and collateral postings, the Internet is the source of some incredibly creative ideas about poker.

 

These ideas, for the most part, are not circulated outside the newsgroup. It’s not out of secrecy, mind you, it’s just that RGP attracts very bright, creative, and insightful folks who enjoy talking poker. As a result, it’s fertile ground for new ideas and concepts. Ideas are posted, and comments are swiftly fed back to the author. It’s information at warp speed: That’s what the Internet is all about. You can follow the growth and development of ideas as they are molded and shaped by …

How Big Can the World Series of Togel Singapore Poker Become?

Posted on by John Johnson

 

 

By the time the main event was set to open, so many Togel Singapore players ponied up $10,000 for this year’s main event that the first day was run in heats, with half the field playing on Sunday, May 23 and the other half on Monday. They combined the reduced fields on Tuesday. At the tournament’s start, no one was even sure how many players entered the event. Estimates ranged between 2,550 and 2,600, and the actual number turned out to be 2,576 — more than triple last year. If you graphed the growth of the World Series of Poker over the past 34 years, you’d see an acceleration curve that looks like a turbine engine ramping up to speed, growing slowly at first, then swinging from its steady horizontal rise to an almost vertical line resembling the vapor trail of a rocket launched into outer space — up, up, and away. Zoom. Swoosh. All of those comic book adjectives come together to form a perfect descriptive fit.

 

In 1997, the 300-entrant barrier was crossed for the first time, and it Togel Singapore seemed a lot. Everyone was shocked when more than 800 entered last year, but 2,576 players is off the charts. And it could have been more. The limiting factor was not the number of players, but available space to seat them all. Had they scheduled the first day at the Las Vegas Convention Center, we might have seen the total number of players climb to 3,000 or more.

 

As the number of players grew, the folks at the Horseshoe did what they could to constrain the field. Usually, there’s a feeding frenzy of satellite tournaments right up to the start of the main event, with each player paying $225 to enter a satellite that awards as many $10,000 buy-ins as it can. They also play one-table satellites, with players paying $1,025 for a chance to win a buy-in for the main event. Once Togel Singapore Harrah’s management saw that there would be no possible way to accommodate …

Greg Raymer, the 2004 World Series of Poker champion called a pair of attackers’ bluff at the Bellagio hotel-casino in Las Vegas, NV. The foiled robbery occurred around 2 a.m. on December 20th as Raymer was returning to his hotel room after he finished playing in a cash game, according to Las Vegas police.

As Raymer approached his room that morning, two attackers appeared out of nowhere and attempted to force him into his room. Raymer resisted and began struggling with the men as one of the men pulled out a gun and stated: “We just want the money.”

Raymer did not stop there however, he yelled for security after he was able to knock one of the attackers to the ground with Free Sports Picks. Moments later the attackers realizing this would be no easy feat fled the hallway.

Police later made an arrest in the case, but no identity was released. A security guard at the casino said he recognized the person as a poker player from a previous incident at the casino.

On an unspecified message board Raymer was quoted as saying: “I don’t write this to brag, I just want any robbery-minded …

Casino Extra Poker Cheats: The Mechanics Grip

Posted on by John Johnson

 

 

Many players have learned how to successfully cheat at the game of poker. One such cheating method is mastering the art of stacking the deck. To master this skill one has to be good with sleight of hand. This is done by a special way of holding the deck of cards that allows the deck to be manipulated, or stacked, one of these special ways is called the Mechanic’s Grip.

 

To help you better understand this cheat, pick up a deck of cards as if you were getting ready to deal. You will probably be holding the deck in the palm of your hand, with your thumb on top of the cards, and your other four fingers on the side of the deck. When dealing cards, you use your thumb to push one card onto the tips of your other four fingers. The thumb is then used to hold this card in place, until your thumb and pointer finger of the opposite hand grabs it and deals the card out. Many poker players deal this way, even though they probably have not noticed it or put much thought into it.

 

To form the Casino Extra Mechanic’s Grip, move your pointer finger and middle fingers to the short side of the deck, farthest away from yourself. With this grip, more of the deck is covered by your hand, making it harder for the other players to see what you are doing. This grip is the basis for many cheats, such as peeking (the dealer will either push one corner, or side of the top card, away from the rest of the deck so that he can see the top card), bottom dealing (dealing the from the bottom of the deck instead of the top), and second dealing (dealing the second card in the deck instead of the top card, usually when the dealer wants the top card for his own hand). By using the peek, the dealer will be able to keep track of what cards each player gets, he can also setup his own hand by …

The Big Blind Casino Cbet Gets a Turn in Position

Posted on by John Johnson

 

 

Yesterday we covered the positions and how the dealer button moves which in turn moves the Small Blind and The Big Blind.

 

The Blinds dictate how much a person must bet at the outset of a hand.  As long as  a person is ‘Sitting at the Table’ they must put money in for the blinds when it is their turn.  This is called Posting the Blind.

 

Posting the Big and Small Blinds occurs before any cards are dealt to any players.  This is probably an inference of the source of the terminology ‘Blind’ as the players must post a bet blind to what their cards may be.

 

All of the other players at the table can wait until they see their first two cards.  Once they receive their first two cards the other players will have the option to Fold their hand and quit the hand or post a bet.  The bet must be at a minimum the same amount as the Big Blind.  The players can also raise the bet.

 

Depending on the version of Texas Hold ‘em that is being played the amount of the raise can vary from double the Big Blind up to all the chips that a player has.  I will cover the raising scenarios more thoroughly tomorrow.

 

In the simplest of scenarios all the players will match the Big Blinds bet or they will fold (or they will raise which I will talk about, tomorrow.)

 

After every player has had a chance to fold or post a bet including the player that has the dealer button, the player in the Small Blind position, who has now had a chance to view their cards, can post a bet to stay in the hand.

 

Why does the Small Blind have to post an additional Amount?

The Small Blind initially only has to post an amount that is half the amount posted by the big blind.  So if the Big Blind has to bet $10, the Small Blind initially has to blindly post up $5 before any cards …

Texas Hold’em Cheri Casino Poker Hand Odds – A Primer

Posted on by John Johnson

 

 

Understanding hand odds should be a crucial part of your strategy for playing Texas Hold’em, or any of its variations. It’s not exactly easy to think on the fly, especially when it comes to dividing strange fractions in your head during a tournament. So you should get a handle on how to calculate when you’re not playing.

 

Called me biased – I’m a math geek – but it’s not too difficult to calculate approximate odds and other important figures if you have a basic understanding of how to do it. Some of this stuff will be obvious, but for the sake of argument, I’ll assume you don’t know how to calculate any card odds. I’ve talked about odds before, but I wanted to try to bring some basics together in a single post. (Warning: this is a long post.)

 

Firstly, in a regular deck of Cheri Casino cards, there are 4 suits and 13 cards in each suit. Each suit has 3 face cards (royalty), but there are 5 cards which have a value of 10 in poker: A through 10. Keep in mind that this is different from Blackjack, where A is either 1 or 11.

 

Holding any two hole cards (hidden from other players) that are both worth 10 points each is called holding 20 points. Any time you are holding 20 in the hole in Texas Hold’em, you are holding a relatively strong hand that you should consider playing. Personally, I play tight and conservative, so I won’t play just any 20 hand.

 

Since each player in a game is dealt two cards at a time, you can calculate the approximate odds of receiving a particular duo of cards fairly easily. For example, say that you are the first player to be dealt your two cards and you want to determine the odds that you will be dealt a 20 hand. How do we figure that out?

 

Simple. First, how many 10-pt Cheri Casino cards are there in a deck? There are 5 in each suit, and 4 suits, for …

Chances to gamble prevalent in region – Judi Online24jam Deposit Uang

Posted on by John Johnson

 

Despite the slump, Jeannot said, “I would say Western Pennsylvania is gambling-friendly. I think people here enjoy horse racing. The Judi Online24jam Deposit Uang lottery seems to be a big event. Our customers go in herds over to West Virginia to enjoy the slot machines. It’s all part of the lifestyle.”

Some frequent track patrons are hard-core handicappers like John Romantino, 40, of Charleroi, who bets 40 to 50 races per visit on both the live Meadows action and televised simulcasts from around the country. His 3-year-old son Dakota accompanied him recently, scampering outside with other children near the track railing.

Hanging out at the finish line, a few yards from the horses and drivers, a father, mother and daughter from Bethel Park enjoyed their once-a-year visit to the harness track.

Rick and Jeen Harper of Bethel Park hooted about their winnings on a $2 ticket they held on TSM Scarface, a long shot that won the fifth race. Their Judi Online24jam Deposit Uang prize: $23.40, or less than a tenth of what Romantino would risk during the evening.

“We each put $20 in our pocket when we come, and when it’s done, it’s done,” said Jeen Harper. “It’s cheaper than seeing a show in the Cultural District, but we do that as well.”

The Harpers play cards with relatives for mini-wagering fun — $5 buys all the chips needed to enter. Unlike most gamblers interviewed, Judi Online24jam Deposit Uang however, they weren’t eager to see slots legalized in Pennsylvania, and wouldn’t play them if they come.

“I don’t like the thought of the state needing it for the revenue,” said Jeen Harper, just before the couple’s favored horse in the sixth race broke stride, turning a pair of $2 tickets to trash. But their 14-year-old daughter Cara had them bet another horse to “show,” a conservative investment, and their wager on her behalf won the family back $3.60.

Gambling opponents have been successful multiple times in derailing expansion of legal wagering, but the efforts keep coming back. The Pittsburgh-based No Dice group, an informal organization with a mailing list …
