Casino Gambling Dilema’s And Morals

October 08, 2007

There has been many things said about online casinos, and many questions asked, such as: are they safe ? are they secure ? are they morally wrong ?, Who benefits from them ?. Does anyone really win ?. Well let me take 5 minutes of your time and try and straighten a few things out.

Firstly Online casinos are meant to be a form of entertainment. They are not there to earn a living from or too subsidise your wages - like most people think. That is the wrong attitude and the wrong mindset when entering a casino. Wether that be online or at a brick and mortar venue. Casino gambling should always be treated as a bit of fun and enjoyment, and if your “up” at the end of the night then thats a bonus and should just be an added bonus to the fun night i hope you’ve already had. Setting out with the goal to make money is in itself setting yourself up to fail.

Winning Casino Strategy

August 02, 2007

As humans we tend to have this predefined pattern of thinking that we already somehow won the game that we havenA?t even played yet. You psyche yourself up to stay cool and confident, when you already have these preconceived ideas that you are special and that you hit the big jackpot already.

I remember every time I would buy a lottery ticket I would always pretend or really know that I wasn’t going to win. I mean what are my chances. Is God just looking right down at me and telling me I am the one?

How to play a monster hand

June 29, 2007

Poker is a game of thought, deception, and strategy, so even before I sit down for a tournament, I like to be prepared for anything. There are times when the cards aren’t going to agree with you, and you’ve just got to play through it, but there are also times when you know you’ve got a monster hand and you need to know how to take as much advantage as possible.

One of the first orders of business to attend to when you’re dealt a monster hand is making it known to the rest of the table that you’re holding something worth playing. There are theories that “slow-playing” a monster hand will increase the number of players that will play against you, but in the long run you might not win as much and in Texas Holdem especially, winning one big pot can take you a long way. Also, the cards that are shown off the flop and beyond can hurt you.

Even though monster hands are a great asset, in tournament play folding one in the beginning isn’t such a bad idea. This lets you watch the rest of the table giving you the knowledge of being able to read the other players. By using this technique early enough, you can almost anticipate who your opponents will be later in the game and how they will play against you. Read the rest of this entry »

Poker Bullshit: The Art of Bluffing

June 29, 2007

In order to really understand the competitive beauty of poker, you need to accept the fact that a good liar can make a great poker player. Acting like you’ve got something - or pretending like you don’t - can take you a long way in a poker tournament, so becoming an expert in bluffing can almost guarantee at least mild success. Personally I love to bluff; it stirs the pot and keeps people from getting a pinpoint idea of the cards you are playing. If you win a hand or two with a solid bluff and your opponent knows this, you’re letting your opponent know that you are not afraid of losing and that “you won’t be pushed around”.

So what is a bluff? Bluffing is representing what you don’t have, hoping to win a pot you have no business winning. But remember, your bluffs have to make sense. I like to think of bluffing as telling a nice fictional story. As a kid, I’m sure most of you told a little lie or two to avoid a bad situation, and poker essentially works the same way. But also like as a kid, if you bluff too much, you can get yourself in some serious trouble, so be careful. Read the rest of this entry »

Slot Machine Strategy Guides

I’ve been looking ahead to the next slots guide for my experiments.

I mean, I don’t want John Patrick to think I’m just picking on him. I talk so much about him that I may seem obsessed with the old coot.

But he detailed 25 slot systems. I’m going to give each one of them about 25 sessions of study. So I’m talking about 625 posts about John Patrick.
It’s a full scientific study. I should apply for a government grant.

Still, I’ve thought about checking out other books’ systems. Read the rest of this entry »
