Remember the days before plastic? Well, they may be returning to the casino floor. The latest assault on the gambling industry takes aim at automated tellers and credit card swipe machines. Rep. John LaFalce, D-N.Y., has introduced a bill to put some distance between fools and their money.

 

The idea is well-intentioned: Gamblers would not be able to tap into the money they have in the bank in order to stay in the game or use their credit cards to dig a financial hole for themselves.

 

Casino opponents say the measure would curb compulsive gambling by giving gamblers an out.

 

When all their cash has expired from their pockets, they would have to walk away from the casino, at least long enough to visit an off-site cash machine. The thinking is that once free from the dealers, pretty waitresses carting free booze and slot machines with their blinking lights and dinging bells, the fresh air will snap gamblers out of their compulsive stupor.

 

LaFalce made a similar attempt to ban ATMs and credit card machines in 1999, but it never got so much as a committee hearing. Rep. Jerrold Nadler,D-N.Y., proposed an ATM and credit card ban in 1998 but gave up on it when the bill bogged down in the legislative process.

 

Nevada regulations already ban the use of credit and debit cards to finance the play at table games, though ATM machines are never more than a short walk away, just as they are on the Coast.

 

Expect a hard fight against this assault on the casino industry, as well.

The gambling lobby has only grown stronger since then, with Frank Fahrenkopf, the former Republican National Committee chairman, now in charge of the industry’s political arm, the American Gaming Association.

Nevada casinos saw winnings slump in September as gamblers scrapped plans for trips to the state’s casinos after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, a report showed Thursday.

 

The report released by the state Gaming Control Board showed the statewide win from gamblers was $763.6 million in September. That’s down 3.2 percent compared with the same month a year earlier.

 

The state’s share in taxes, $45.6 million, was down nearly 11 percent in September. Taxes paid by the casinos represent one of the biggest sources of revenue to keep state government running.

 

While down, the overall 3.2 percent drop in win for the resorts would have been nearly double had it not been for some huge losses by baccarat players on the Las Vegas Strip.

 

The Gaming Control Board report shows baccarat with a 76 percent increase in win on the Strip.

 

“What you’re seeing is the effect of the Sept. 11 tragedy,” said Bill Bible of the Nevada Resort Association, representing most major hotel-casinos in the state.

 

“And those markets that rely heavily on air travel, like the Strip, showed the most dramatic impact,” he added. Despite the big baccarat winnings, Strip resorts had an overall decline of 5.4 percent in September.

 

Frank Streshley of the Gaming Control Board said the September figures weren’t as bad as some expected, in part, because the casinos did well in the first part of the month.

 

Bible also noted that because flights were canceled following the Sept. 11 attacks, many tourists were stuck in Nevada and presumably continued to spend money in Sg Online Casino.

 

A breakdown of the September win figures shows that while the Strip was down 5.4 percent, downtown Las Vegas and Boulder Strip casinos were up nearly …

Peanuts Per Hand

Let’s use a simple thought experiment and some bar napkin arithmetic to understand something that most poker players overlook. Imagine a full time Texas holdem Poker player in a $10-$20 game. He is dealt a thousand holdem hands every week. He actually plays only 400 of those hands, wins 50 pots and he wins an average of $1,000 a week. Our imaginary player does well. Divide the number of hands he plays into the average weekly win and you’ll get an expectation of just $2.50 per hand played – – peanuts per hand!

Our player is imaginary and there’s plenty of bar napkins so you can juggle the figures any way you want, but you’ll still come up with peanuts. With this in mind, the rest of this page becomes a little more meaningful.

Casino Rake

Casinos and poker rooms either rake each pot or charge the players on a time basis. It’s part of the poker player’s overhead. I prefer a rake. Tight players win fewer pots and pay less rake. Charging the players time costs everybody the same.

The casinos and poker rooms provide us a place to play, security, dealers, a fair game, impartial settling of disputes, and promotions to attract players. Any reasonable rake or time charge is worth it.

Dealer Tokes

I once played in a poker room that did not allow the players to toke the Slot dealers. TIPPING THE DEALERS WAS NOT ALLOWED! There must be very few poker rooms in the world with that kind of policy. It was wonderful!

Tokes are an important part of the dealers’ income and part of the poker player’s overhead. I want the dealers to make their money, but you are playing for yourself. Keep your toking affordable.

Most of the time, if you’ve got a made hand in poker (for example, JT in hold’em and the flop comes JT3), you will bet your hand. If you’re drawing (let’s say you have Q9 against the same board), you may very well decide to check. In fact, checking and calling is the natural thing to do when you have a drawing hand. However, this isn’t always automatic. In limit poker, you’re going to have to bet your draws as well as your made hands sometimes to avoid becoming too predictable. Betting a draw on the flop (or even the turn) is sometimes referred to as semi-bluffing. That is: you would like everybody to fold since you don’t have anything yet, but if you get called you might win the pot anyway by making your hand.

Some people (especially rocks or weak-tight Sbobet Indonesia players) don’t like it when players bet their draws aggressively. They will make remarks like: “Why did you bet? You had nothing yet”. In the game I like best (pot-limit Omaha) you will never hear comments like this. In this game, the big draw is often king; draws are often favorite over made hands on the flop. Drawing hands can and should therefore often be played aggressively. Now, let’s take a look at how to play drawing hands in three of the most popular poker games: limit hold’em, limit stud and pot-limit Omaha.

Draws in limit hold’em.

You may have heard limit hold’em is no drawing game. This is true to a large degree, because it’s harder to draw out in hold’em than in any other game. Most of all, this means hold’em is a kicker game: if you’ve got AK, there’s an ace on the board and your opponent is playing a bad ace, you …

A word that should not be in any slot player’s vocabulary is “due.” No machine is ever “due.” The RNG constantly cycles and conceivably could pay out two top awards in the space of two pulls, and then not pay another for years.

 

The only way to even get an idea about individual machines is to “scout” them over an extended period of time. Keep mental (or even written) notes about which machines you and other players seem to win on again and again. Those machines that pay out consistently will be the ones on which to concentrate your play. No, it’s not an exact science, but even a little information can go a long way.

 

Betting on sports is one of the casinos’ greatest entertainment values, and it doesn’t have to be as intimidating as you might think

Want a bargain? I mean a real, honest-to-goodness, bona fide betting bargain? There aren’t many of them, but one activity in the casino qualifies absolutely.

 

It’s sports betting.

 

Casinos ligaz888 prosper because they provide what most consider an equitable exchange of entertainment for expectation, a fair balance between fun and fee. But a true bargain for the recreational gambler? That’s asking a lot. If a game is going a little too easy on the gamblers, the casinos will attempt to nudge up the take. This can be done by changing the odds, changing the payoffs, or raising the limits. But in most cases they’ll opt, instead, to increase the speed of playautomatic blackjack shufflers, multi-race keno, and horror or horrors video Caribbean Stud are prime examples. But this doesn’t work against sports bettors. How do you speed up the Packers/Giants game?

GORDON BANKS, ENGLAND’S NO.1, HAS DIED AGED 81

“I was ready to celebrate, but then this man Banks appeared in my sight like a kind of blue phantom.”

 

 

Even Pele was stopped in his tracks by Gordon Banks, the world’s best goalkeeper in his day, who has died aged 81.

 

A World Cup winner with England in 1966, he is perhaps best remembered for his wonder save from Pele four years later in Mexico, a stop often dubbed the greatest in football history.

 

Almost half a century later, Banks’ diving flip to deny the world’s best player is still astonishing in its athleticism, snatching victory from certain defeat, an almost extra-terrestrial action on the football field.

 

A Goalkeeper With Magic

 

His nonchalant trot back head down across his goalmouth to defend the ensuing corner shows the other side of his character – a decent, modest yeoman warrior not given to blowing his own trumpet loudly.

 

In both tournaments Banks was in imperious form and might have won a second Jules Rimet trophy had he not mysteriously gone down with food poisoning on the eve of England’s quarter-final against West Germany.

 

The fact he was the only Judi Bola Online24Jam Terpercaya player to fall ill, from a suspected contaminated beer, and he was England’s mighty guardian, was very suspicious.

 

“Of all the players to lose, we had to lose him,” rued manager Alf Ramsey.

 

To this day no proof of foul play has come forth but rumours abound that the CIA wanted England out so that Brazil would win the World Cup and in its elation the country would not fall to the communists.

 

Banks was the unlucky hero whose beer was duly poisoned as part of a political game, …

The term “living legend” is an all-too-frequent and loosely applied expression.  It’s a cliché that amounts to being alive and memorable for something notable, invariably brought about by sheer accident.

 

Possibly the phrase applies to Dubliner Andy Black, who played a starring role in the 1998 television documentary Million Dollar Deal. Narrated by John Hurt, the programme followed the fortunes of a group of English and Irish players in that year’s World Series of Poker.

 

Those qho know Andy Black would probably best describe him as charismatic, highly educated, inoffensive, and popular. In retrospect, they would also use the words skilful and successful.

Relatively unknown on the European circuit, the Belfast-born player has been around poker for some considerable time, an amazing 19 years, to be precise.

 

Like many things in his life, poker came about by accident, but was soon studied with the intensity and passion of an adolescent teenager in receipt of his first pornographic publication.

 

“I started playing cards when I was 7 with my mum,” explained Black, who is now approaching his 40th birthday. “As for poker, that began in 1986 while I was studying for a law degree at Trinity College in Dublin.

 

“It was at the Merrion Square Casino, then called the Griffin, where I played my first game of poker. I arrived with no money but was encouraged by the initial free entry and, more importantly, the free coffee and sandwiches. After all, I was a poor broke student.”

 

With poker, free food, and coffee abundant, Black eventually obtained a law degree but never went on to prosecute a shoplifter or defend a pensioner accused of smoking in a public house. “With a little more study, I could still become a lawyer,” he added in an …

It has been a low-key start to the 2014 K-League season. Blame the Winter Olympics and the controversy surrounding Queen Yu-na Kim being awarded the silver medal to a local Russian skater despite most thinking she deserved to win. And then there was a big national team game away in Greece and then the 32nd campaign of Asia’s oldest professional league got underway. It started as the 2013 campaign finished with a late goal settling affairs between Pohang Steelers and Ulsan Horangi.

 

Readers will remember (how could they forget?) how Pohang scored in the last minute of the final game at Ulsan to take the title from their despondent hosts who had been five points clear with two games remaining. That day, Kim Shin-wook was suspended and went pitchside to celebrate for the final seconds only to arrive just as the Pohang end of the stadium was going crazy.

 

Three months on, he scored the only goal of the Dominoqq game to give the Tigers a winning start. It was a deserved win. Fans at the Steelyard, still celebrating their unlikely title win, got a reminder that Pohang may not be out in front this season after not strengthening, perhaps even becoming weaker over the winter.

 

FC Seoul fans know the feeling. Despite a classy win over Central Coast Mariners in the opening round of the Asian Champions League at the end of February, the club got a glimpse of life with stars Dejan Damjanovic and Ha Dae-sung, who moved to China at the start of the year. Seoul, who were beaten finalists in the 2013 Asian Champions League, lost 1-0 at home to Chunnam. Seoul habitually are slow starters and don’t have the best of records against the Dragons, one of the league’s smaller side, but …
