Online Keno introduction

January 31, 2007 at 2:15 am · Filed under Online Bingo, Online Gambling

Keno is one of those games you either know about or you don’t. It’s basically considered a lotto in the casino. Like the lotto, the game consists of numbers drawn. The object is to pick the numbers that come up. The game of Keno can either be fast or slow depending on the casino. By playing Keno online you can control the pace of the game. There are also keno machines. Personally, I like live keno. You sit in a lounge, if you want, and play. Keno is a game that you don’t have to be present to play and win. For instance, you could put in a ticket for 20 games and then go play something else in the casino.

The game of Keno is pretty simple. In this article, I will go over some of the basics of the game setup and rules. It’s a piece of cake, so let’s get going.

Keno Board

The game is played on a board. The Keno board consists of eighty total numbers-number 1 though 80. The first forty are called the top half and the second forty are called the bottom half.

Playing Keno

Each game of Keno goes the same. The game starts, and twenty numbers are drawn. If you are playing live keno, they may have the ball system. Ping pong style balls are sucked up and chosen, just like the lotto on TV. Other live Keno departments use computers. If a number you selected is chosen, that’s called a “hit.” When all twenty numbers are selected, the game ends and winning tickets are paid.

There is a lot of diversity in the game of Keno. For instance, you can select one number, two numbers and so forth-up to twenty numbers. Usually, you need to hit most of your numbers to win something. For instance, if you select six numbers, you will usually need to hit 3 to get your money back.

Keno Payouts

The payouts in Keno are pretty high. The probability of winning depends on the total numbers selected. For instance, if you select two numbers, you have a 6% probability of hitting your ticket. Every casino’s Keno department has their own payouts. There is also a difference in pay between live Keno and machines. If you are going to play online, make sure you shop around for the best payouts first.

In downtown Las Vegas, there is one casino, for instance that pays $1,000 if you hit all six of your numbers on your forty-cent ticket. That’s a pretty nice payout. Increase your numbers to seven or eight and you get into the $5,000-$10,000 range.

The ABC of Bingo

January 30, 2007 at 4:26 pm · Filed under Online Bingo, Online Gambling

Bingo is an extremely easy game to learn. And the internet has made it simpler by introducing online bingo, where you can easily play and chat. But there are a few things you need to know about bingo – specifically online bingo.

First thing’s first, you need to select a bingo hall, which is commonly known as a bingo room. In every room, there are different games and chatrooms. Most bingo rooms have very catchy names so that you’ll always remember your favorite bingo room. You can choose between:

A Practice Bingo Room:
Here, you’ll be able to practice for free, but the main rule is that you cannot chat at all. This room is mainly practical and you can cross your numbers yourself if you want. The main objective is to see exactly how fast the bingo numbers are called out during a bingo game.

A Main Bingo Hall:
Here bingo players play for money, you can chat and play poker machines as well as slot machines and instant games, all the while playing a game of bingo. This bingo room has the most jackpots and prizes. Most chat buddies spend their time here.

A Tournament Bingo Hall:
Most bingo rooms run different tournaments with different types of jackpots, buy you cannot win a lot because it is the most visited room so your chances are very low.

Payment And Purchase Of Bingo Plates:
Once you’ve selected which bingo room you’re going to play in, you should go to the banking section of the website, and start depositing your money into your bingo room account. Once you win, your prize money will be deposited straight into your bank account. Keep your eye on packages, when they are offered. You can easily buy packages at a lower price and they are normally offered when the time-jackpot is at stake.

Auto-Daub:
The biggest advantage of online bingo is the auto-dauber function, where your bingo cards are filled in automatically while you sit and chat. Most bingo websites offer a yell bingo for you, but some bingo sites have a red button that you have to press in order to qualify for a bingo. This would mean that you’d have to watch the game.

Choosing A Caller:
Most bingo rooms offer their players the choice of a virtual person to call the bingo numbers. You can also choose what background you want and which music you want.

Choosing Your Dauber color and shape:
An extra allows you to choose the shape and color of your auto-daub. Whether you want blue soccer balls or green hearts etc.

Auto Sort Your Bingo Cards:
If you have purchased a lot of bingo cards for one game, it isn’t always possible for you to keep track of all of them. With Auto-Sort, they’ll show you the cards closest to a bingo. Always keep an eye on the bar above the plates telling you which numbers you need.

Time Jackpot:
Most sites have timed jackpots every hour. You need to get a bingo before a certain number to win that specific jackpot.

Pattern:
This is the pattern you are required to fill out before you get a bingo. It is normally visible during the game.

Once you have encountered and mastered the game of online bingo, you’ll be able to win tons of jackpots and play other games at the same time. You can easily indulge in slot machines, instant games or video poker while you play.

Cheating at Roulette

January 30, 2007 at 2:21 am · Filed under Online Roulette

If you are searching on the net, you will find many authors who claim “cheating at roulette” is possible and by doing it you can win consistent profits.

The bad news is “cheating at roulette” is not possible. However, you can put the odds in your favour as much as possible without cheating or paying anyone for the knowledge!

Here are two common cheating at roulette myths:

Myth 1. You Can Use a Mathematical System to Predict Future Spins This is the most common misconception about roulette and has no basis in fact.

roulette is a game of pure chance and each single spin is unrelated to any previous spins. For example, if the ball falls on red 10 times in a row, players feel that black has a higher chance of coming up next - this is not true.

Many players also like to look for, and bet on, ’sleeping numbers’ - numbers that have not been hit for a long time.

Just because a number has been, ’sleeping’, does not make it more likely that the number picked will come up on the next spin.

Mathematical systems can’t work by their very nature. Why? Quite simply, mathematical systems require data, and with roulette, there is no past data that can be analysed.

In mathematics, you know exactly what is going to happen next, in a game of chance like roulette you never know what is going to happen next!

roulette is a game of pure chance, and a system that claims to make money consistently from such a game is a contradiction in terms.

Myth 2. You Can Use Money Management to Gain an Edge Money management cannot affect the house advantage on any bet, nor guarantee that you will win more money.

For money management to work, you need to increase your bet size when the odds are in your favour, and decrease bet size when they are not. The problem is course; the odds and payouts are set in the casino’s favour, and never change, and roulette is a game of pure chance.

The house always has an advantage in roulette due to the amount paid out per bet; you cannot change it, or manage it.

Cheating At roulette Is Not Possible but the Good News Is: You can get the odds as much in your favour as possible with some simple steps:

1. Play European roulette

There are two roulette wheels, American and European. The wheel to play is the European wheel, as it reduces the casino advantage to 2.63%

2. Place Bets that Mirror their Payouts

Place bets whose odds almost mirror their payouts - these “even money” bets include, betting on Even, Odd, Low (numbers 1 through 18), High (numbers 19 through 36), Red, or Black. All these pay out at 1 to 1.

3. Reducing the House Edge to the Lowest Level

Look for a wheel that offers the rule ‘en prison.’ If you make an even money bet and the ball lands on zero, you don’t lose your wager. Instead, your bet is ‘imprisoned’ i.e. held hostage, and you let it go forward to the next spin. If your bet wins, you can remove it from the table. The house edge is just 1.35% on this bet.

roulette is a game of chance, and there is no way of cheating at roulette to increase the odds in your favour. They are fixed. The three tips above however, will help you maximize the odds in your favour.

How Gambling Horoscopes Help you Win

January 29, 2007 at 8:01 pm · Filed under Online Gambling

Many people believe that by using astrology you can tell your future, and maybe it can not, but by following the advice given in Horoscopes many people find great luck, so how else can it be explained.

This phenomenon can be explained by the fact that if you believe it is true that you will have good luck on a certain day you probably will.

This does not mean that the prediction was right, but if you believe good things are going to happen to you at work, in your personal life or in a casino, you will give off a positive energy that attracts other positive energies and this will help good things happen.

Some people do not believe this theory either. They feel that if you believe good things are going to happen and they do it is because you were in a better mood and making better decisions which will bring about better results.

No one can tell how exactly gambling horoscopes help a person win in a casino, but the fact remains that they do help people win all the time.

Studies have been done to try to show exactly how horoscopes work, but no one has ever been able to come up with an explanation that seems believable. All they have been able to show is that the more you believe the better and more accurate the predictions will be.

This may be because if you really believe in the accuracy of the gambling Horoscope you will find things that you rationalize to make fit into the horoscopes prediction.

No one has ever been able to find any reason any form of prognosticating works, but people do believe in it and it is that belief in it that seems to make the things come true.

Studies have been done in the past and have proven beyond doubt that a person who has a more positive outlook will tend to have better luck and will generally be a happier person; where as a person with a negative outlook will constantly have negative events take place around them.

The only explanation scientists have ever given for this is to say that the average human only uses 10% of the brain and that the explanation for these events is hidden in the 90% of the brain we do not use, and that maybe if and when we learn the secrete for unlocking these areas of the brain we will then be able to get a better understanding of how all types of psychic predictions work.

But until then all I can tell you is that if you believe that the prediction will come true then it will come true.

By reading your horoscope and waiting until it says you will have a good day, then going to the casino to do some gambling you will greatly increase your chances of having a winning day and the more you believe it will happen the more it increases your chances of being successful.

Dice Setters or Rhythmic Rollers

January 28, 2007 at 4:32 pm · Filed under Online Craps

If you ask a group of craps players if they would rather be on a table with a rhythmic roller or a dice setter, they will almost inadvertently tell you a dice setter. This is because they have most likely played with numerous dice setters with some grade of success and secondly, because most people will think of rhythmic rollers as just somebody who picks up the dice and gives throws them across the table.

In all my years at a craps table, I have only seen two “true” rhythmic shooters. The rhythmic shooter can control the dice and cause an unbelievably consistent outcome by rolling in a rhythm. The first one I saw was average and the other one simply astonishing.

I first played craps with her a few years ago in Tunica, Mississippi. She was playing on a table by herself early at The Horseshoe and I sat down at a nearby slot to keep a keen eye on her. I could tell she was doing well because her red chips went to green and then started to go black.

The first thing I noticed was that she kept her left hand at an angle on the table all the time with her palm down on the felt. She then seemed to pat the felt in some sort of rhythm, but not really. It was quite strange but it worked. Keep in mind, most rhythmic rollers do not stay in this same position patting the felt, but she did.

I suppose where she tokes the dealers, she gets them to “keep the dice moving” but I never heard her say anything like that at all, but the bets she placed for them were quite
noticeable, especially with a dealer bet $54 across. You better believe the stickman kept the dice moving, even with the stick change, they continued to move the dice quickly in her direction. This can help a Rhythmic Roller.

She held them for another thirty minutes on that roll, seemed agitated and called it a night. The next morning, I asked the dealers on the next shift if they had seen her, I described what she looked like and they immediately said she went over to Hollywood to visit friends. Feeling like a leech, but down quite a bit on my luck before I met her, I rushed right over.

The only thing I noticed was that little hand tapping out some sort of rhythmic beat while she hit number after number. When I asked her how she learned to play so well, she said, “Oh, I’m not that good really, it’s just my lucky hat”.

I have been fortunate enough to play with her perhaps five or six times now and I’ve come to the conclusion she is wearing my lucky hat too!

UK Bingo

January 28, 2007 at 11:13 am · Filed under Online Bingo

UK Bingo is an interesting game that has gained tremendous popularity worldwide. One reason for this rapid spread in its popularity is the fact that it can be played anywhere and anytime. All that is required to organize or participate in a bingo game are some bingo cards and bingo chips, and a few players with the ability to identify numbers and zest to win. Bingo can be played in churches, at charity houses, social functions and parties.

Several people in the United Kingdom who are hooked on online Bingo spend and win millions of U.K. pounds every year. Both versions of the game, bingo played in parlors and online bingo are popular in the U.K.

How To Play Bingo, U.K. Style

Bingo is usually played in the U.K. with numbers between one and ninety, both numbers inclusive. You can play it with tickets, unlike in the United States where bingo cards are used. Each ticket consists of three rows and nine columns; every row has five numbers and altogether each ticket has fifteen numbers on it. You must buy enough tickets so that they last for an entire session. Generally, each session is of an hour’s duration and around three to eight games are played per session. A book consisting of a group of six tickets and ninety numbers can also be bought in order to play bingo in UK.

Winning Criteria

It is natural for players participating in a bingo session to do so with an intention to win. The probability of winning the reward is what drives them, keeps them spirited and enthusiastic. If you are playing Bingo in UK, it is important for you to familiarize yourselves with the winning criterion in the version of the game played in the country. Typically, one of the following three needs to happen for you to win a game of bingo:

You should get all the five numbers in the first row of your ticket.
You should get five numbers in both the first and the second line.
You should get all the numbers in all the three rows, which is known as full house.

The Grand Finale

When a player’s ticket fulfills any one of the above-mentioned conditions, they must call out “house” in order to claim their victory. When a player gets five numbers in the first row, the game comes to a halt for a brief while in order for the organizers to ascertain the win and display the winning ticket on a screen. The game needs to continue till all the three lines on the ticket are won. In order to claim multi- line win, the lines should exist on the same ticket. The prize pool is divided among the lucky players with the three winning combinations. The major chunk of the prize money is obviously reserved for the player who wins with a full house.

Poker Online Freeroll Tournaments

January 26, 2007 at 12:14 pm · Filed under Online Gambling, Online Poker

Poker online freeroll tournaments are a huge way to leverage a player’s way into major tournaments and to win big money at no cost to the player. Casinos and poker rooms offer them to reward active players and to recruit new ones. Generally by playing a number of hands using real money, invitations are extended to play in tournaments at no risk. Players are also sometimes given points based on their play that can be redeemed for cash entries to the tournament of their choice.

It is always a good idea for players to review the poker room or casino’s policy for gaining free entries to these tournaments. Sometimes by playing 50 to 100 hands, you can meet the requirements or standards for being given a freeroll. Or by being one of the top ranked real money players for the month, you can receive an invitation. On occasion one can be given an entry simply for being a member who plays with real money. The rewards for entering such tournaments can be huge such as receiving a seat to the World Series of Poker, World Poker Tour or other major tournaments where the entry fees range from $10,000 to $25,000. Others reward top finishers with real money cash and/or satellite entry to other cash prize tournaments.

Choices expand greatly when using earned points with a particular online poker room. Players accumulate these points mostly by playing in raked cash games, multi-table tournaments and tournaments that include a paid fee. These points, depending on the poker room, can be redeemed for things such as actual cash or prizes. They can also be the ticket for entering some of the most prestigious poker tournaments on the Internet worth millions! As these points are rewarded for each raked hand of play, experienced players may want to focus on heads-up or shorthanded games instead of the full-table games. This is because the pace of these types of games are much faster and points can be accumulated at a quicker rate. Also higher limit tables generally play faster than smaller limit games that attract newer players who may not wish to risk the larger amounts per hand. Plus the single pot games over split pot should be a better choice for accumulating points as the decision making is not as complex, hence a speedier rate of play.

An experienced player should keep in mind that with so many people getting into poker, the prize pools for online tournaments often go into the six-figure range. And that it is worth it to keep in mind how they can obtain greater options for freerolls like what poker room to join with when considering where to play poker. For beginning players the advantage in using freerolls whenever offered or available is huge when starting out as it gives additional leverage to the player’s bankroll. Just keep in mind, the more you play the more free entries that will be offered to you.
