Wednesday, May, 3, 2006  Selecting a game.
The most crucial point in developing a roulette gambling strategy is choosing the right table. Many online casinos invite you to spin the wheel at their tables promising a real enjoyment. However, the most ornated roulette tables are not necessarily the most fortunate. The only difference between all roulette wheels is in the number of zero sectors and additional rules. There are three kinds of roulette gamble:
American or “double zero” roulette has two zero sectors on the wheel, thus being the worst table to play at for a gambler. Casinos with such wheels enjoy 5.26% edge making American roulette the least popular of all.
European or “single zero” roulette has only one green sector that increases the gambler’s odds to 2.7%. But for the most efficient gambler, it’s worth seeking for additional rules.
Emprisonment rule which is French “en prison” allows either to surrender half of the bet or to secure it so far and let the next spin decide whether it will return to the gamble (without payoff) or pass to the casino. To execute the emprisonment option, there are two provisions: the bet must be an even-money one, and the winning number must be “zero”. This rule reduces the casino’s advantage even further, making it drop to 2.63%, yet it’s too much for a casual player to feel happy about the gamble.
‘La partage’ is extremely hard to find, as this rule makes the gambler lose only half of the bet if the winning nimber is zero.
Gambling strategies.
Reasonable betting is the core of any online casino gamble. And roulette is the game in which all universal betting systems that we describe at our pages, can be successfully implemented. But apart from those, there are gambling strategies peculiar to the roulette game only. Below are some of them:
CGR system.
The essense of the Casino Group System is in choosing a couple of group bets where your chances of winning will be equal to that of your fiasco or even higher. For this purpose, bet on a combination of low-payoff sectors, e.g. “1-18” plus “3rd dozen”. In such an apportion the game will result in no loss (once in two spins) if your “1-18” wins, 50% of your bet profit (once in three spins) if “dozen” wins, or losing all your bets, yet once in five spins only. This gambling strategy can be slighly modified according to your ambitions, spirits and self-confidence.
Powerplay.
The powerplay system teaches you to bet not on the numbers on the table, but on the numbers on the wheel. In other words, to divide the roulette wheel into 6 sectors, 6 consecutive numbers in each, select one sector and bet it as long as it would need to achieve some winnings. The strategy is based on empirical results of a true European roulette wheel and works well in combination with betting systems.
Wednesday, May, 3, 2006  The rule of thumb.
You should follow this rule before starting the game in order to assess what size your bankroll shall be. This can help planning your gambling budget, so that you won’t regret about losing much, carried away by excitement. Imagine that an average gambler makes six spins per minute, 360 spins per hour, correspodingly. Multiply this number by the coin denomination and the number of coins you are going to play, and get the approximate figure of how much money you are to spare for the game. When counting, don’t rely on your possible winnings lest you should find yourself in blank despair if you fail to win enough.
Up-and-down strategy.
If you don’t feel like playing progressives, this betting scheme can be of use. Its core is in changing the amount of your bet for every spin, i.e. betting one, two, three, then two, one, and again two, three, and so on. This will allow you to hit high winning paylines without spending too much. The strategy is especially effective with bonus feature slot machines that allow free spins.
Playing fewer paylines.
This gambling strategy is to be used with multi-payline slot machines. It presupposes betting slightly more but on fewer paylines than available. This saves money and increases the payoff in case of winning. The drawback is that you can miss a winning combination, but playing all paylines will make you lose more on average.
High-and-Low Balance.
Remember, that the higher the possible jackpot is, the less frequent will be smaller payoffs. Thus, choose the strategy based on your goal. Else, going for jackpot requires betting maximum coins that makes the game run faster which is in the casino’s favour, as your wallet empties at a high rate. Thus, measure your odds with the size of your bankroll. If you prefer risk and can afford it – bet maximum and hope for the top prize. To make the gambling pleasure longer, seek for low denomination slots where you can go for a jackpot without losing too much.
Tuesday, May, 2, 2006  Three reels slots are always better than four reels ones. Consider the chances of having three matching symbols abreast, against four.
Progressive slots give you the opportunity to obtain a high jackpot. Here it is important to play maximum coins to attain highest payoffs if the jackpot justifies that. However, if you feel reluctant to lose much of your bankroll, consider playing progressives with maximum two coins bet only.
One-payline slot machines give you less winning frequency than three-paylines slots. However, the latter have much lower payoffs and demand to play three coins per pull which quickly wears out your fortune.
Double-up symbols are a wonderful boon for any gambler, as a double-up symbol replaces any other at the reel. However, such slots are hard to find.
Multi-location progressives are a golden dream of any gambler. They are hundreds of slot machines electronically linked, that contribute to a common jackpot wich usually mounts to an astronomical sum.
Bonus feature slots have recently become popular. They can offer bonus features like a bonus spin or the option to hold the reels.
Tuesday, May, 2, 2006 If you want to be a successful blackjack player you will need to learn basic strategy. Most players start learning by referring to a basic strategy chart. The strategy chart shows you how to play your first two cards based on the dealers up card.
The best way to do this is to translate the basic strategy chart into plain English that explains how to play a hand with three or more cards. Let's look at an example:
If your first two cards are and a 5 and a 3 you have a total of eight. The chart tells you to hit. You draw another 3, which gives you a total of eleven. The chart tells you to double on 11 but you can only double on your first two cards. Therefore you must hit.
When we translate the strategy chart into plain English, we use the word "otherwise" when dealing with situations that are different because of multiple cards. If we were to write out the example above it would be: If you have 11 - double, otherwise hit.
How to Play Hard Hands: -A hard hand is two starting cards that do not contain an ace.
If you have eight or less, always hit.
If you have Nine: Double if the dealer has 3 thru 6 - otherwise hit.
If you have Ten : Double if the dealer has 2 thru 9 - otherwise hit.
If you have Eleven: Double if the dealer has 2 thru 10, Hit if dealer has Ace.
If you have Twelve: Hit if the dealer has 2 or 3, Stand if the dealer has 4 thru 6, otherwise hit.
If you have 13- 16: Stand if the dealer has2 thru 6, otherwise hit.
If you have 17 - 21: Always Stand.
How to Play Soft Hands: - A soft hand is when one of your starting hands contains an ace.
If you have Ace 2 or Ace 3: Double if the dealer has 5 or 6 - otherwise hit.
If you have Ace 4 or Ace 5: Double if the dealer has 4 thru 6 - otherwise hit.
If you have Ace 6: Double if the dealer has 3 thru 6 - otherwise hit.
If you have Ace 7: Stand if the dealer has 2, 7 or 8. Double 3 -thru 6 - otherwise hit.
If you have Ace 8 or Ace 9: Always Stand.
Monday, May, 1, 2006  Black Jack is the only casino game where the gambling house doesn’t enjoy steady advantage over the player. To make probabilities act in your favour, two Black Jack strategies were developed throughout the decades. Combined with the right choice of the game variation, the strategies can help you achieve a remarkable success in Black Jack casino gambling.
Selecting a game.
Single vs MultiHand.
The Single game is psychologically better, as Multi Hand Black Jack distracts your attention spreading it on playing several hands at a time, and hampers to estimate your chances correctly.
52-card vs ‘Shoe Game’.
Black Jack can be played with up to 8 standard decks, but only one deck game can be played without obvious losses.
Insurance.
This option allows you to insure your hand against the dealer’s Black Jack if the dealer’s up-card is an Ace. Taking insurance is a sure loser as it increases the casino’s edge, so that your slight advantage is gone.
Surrender.
Try to find a table with this option, as it allows you to surrender against the dealer’s exposed Ace and lose only half of your bet.
Black Jack Strategies.
Basic Strategy.
Supposing that you’ve found a 52-card game with ordinary rules where the dealer stands on 17 and the early surrender is allowed. Enjoy a small edge over the casino of about 0.77%! This is possible if to follow a so-called basic strategy which gives you this advantage sooner or later.
Monday, May, 1, 2006  Once upon a time in a 24-hour-a-day wonderland there lived the casino gambling monster who fiercely guarded the glittering entertainment palaces. Many brave and outrages casino gamblers had attempted to pin him down and pull out his golden teeth, but none prevailed.
The temples of casino gambling continued to flourish and prosper like no ever before until one memorable evening when a hitherto unseen casino gambler walked in. He was a strange-looking guy of an unidentified foreign origin. The casino gambler was unusually dressed and wore magic amulets. There was something about him that said he would beat the casino gambling house. And he beat it.
For he spent many years studying the casino gambling secrets, formulas, magic and skills in a far away land. Through the powers of casino gambling secrets he surpassed the mighty casino gambling beast. And the rumours and stories about his impressive winning circulated all over the wonderland and they reached our ears.
So, before you venture into the exciting world of casino gambling, slip into your lucky socks, pull up a chair and learn the casino gambling secrets. For winning requires certain knowledge and specific skills.
— Don’t lose your common sense - casino gambling often goes hand-in-hand with stupidity. It’s very easy to kiss large amounts of cash goodbye. You must keep it in mind if you don’t want your wardrobe to consist of shabby clothes.
— Correct money management – getting an edge in a casino games suggests that you bet the right amounts at the right times.
— Set a loss limit. Always set a limit on the amount you are willing to lose and stick to it! Otherwise, you will never become a successful casino gambling player.
— Take the profits and run. When Lady Luck shines on you, be prepared to quit. When the tide turns never lose back your profits — always take them and run!
— Set reasonable expectations. Set reasonable win goals – winning 20-50% of your bankroll is a good gamble.
