Roulette Wheel Bias
By Jake Earl
It is the dream of every gambler to have a system; a system that allows him to take a casino for a considerable amount of money. For some people, it was no dream…
Albert R. Hibbs was a noted mathematician. In 1949, he and fellow graduate student Roy Walford, took time away from school and went to Nevada. Their aim was to study the roulette wheel bias of Las Vegas and Reno casinos, then exploit that mathematical “edge” and win big. They were said to have made over $42,000. in their schemes.
The idea of a biased wheel is not new. Because some roulette wheels are not properly balanced, the ball is often thrown into some areas more than others; more than random mathematical probability. By studying the wheel and it’s results for a long period, certain numbers show a higher percentage of winners than others, and they are bet upon more frequently by those who gather and analyze this information.
Joe Jagger was a British engineer who, in the late 1800’s, earned the title of: The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo. (Yes, he is a distant relative of Mick Jagger.) Another gambler and possibly more famous still, was Charles Wells. He too had the title. Both gamblers found and exploited biased roulette wheels in Monte Carlo’s famed “Casino.” Wells was also a con man responsible for bilking hundreds of people on bogus inventions. He died broke in France, after having spent several prison terms in two different countries.
As late as 1970, a woman named Carol Jarecki and her husband studied and played roulette wheels in Monte Carlo and San Remo, making a series of very successful runs on those biased roulette wheels. So even in this “modern era” of gambling, it seems that there are still a few places where the roulette wheels are not checked nearly often enough.
The new way casinos avoid bias is by recording every spin on a computer program. The program analyzes then reports any bias to casino management. Once reported, the wheel is serviced and the bias is removed. This system is used in only the larger casinos, but it’s a safe bet that even the smaller casinos would simply send you packing if you won too much. Bias or no. |

| Interesting BlackJack Strategy |
|

I just read the information below from tipsforwinning.com.
Basic, but VERY good.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just like video poker players, most blackjack enthusiasts don't bother memorizing all the correct plays. Plus, we humans are not computerized robots, and that means we make mistakes. So, can an amateur play winning blackjack? Yes! Here's how:
Memorize these six most important basic strategy rules for playing winning blackjack. (For quick and easy reference, keep a printout handy when you're playing online):
1. Stand if you hold hard 12 to 16 and the dealer shows 2 to 6
2. Hit if you hold hard 12 to 16 and the dealer shows a 7 or higher
3. Stand on 17 to 21, but hit soft 17
4. Always split pairs of Aces and 8's
5. Never split 10's, jacks, queens, kings, 5's or 4's
6. Double down on 10 or 11 if dealer shows an 8 or lower
Guard against making mistakes. Errors can be costly. If you want to play winning blackjack, keep your emotions in check and don't play hunches. Stick to the above rules. Don't buy insurance, casinos never offer anything that isn't to their advantage.
Start by betting the table minimum. Increase the size of your bet after every win and go back to your minimum bet when you lose a hand. Overall, you'll have more losing than winning rounds, that's why winning blackjack players follow a sensible betting progression.
Here's what we suggest: Make four consecutive bets at a betting level you're comfortable with, (usually the table minimum). Now, if you don't win at least two of the four hands dealt, simply try again a little later.
A winning blackjack strategy is to wait until you're ahead by two units, then use this progression: 2, 3, 5, 7, 10. If your betting unit is $5, the progression would be: $5, $5, $10, $15, $25, $35, $50. Even when you're playing winning blackjack every run of good luck will come to an end. When it does, go back to your original level. Anytime you lose four hands in a row, take a break for a while, no matter whether you're up or down for the session. |

| Some Things to Check When Playing Online Poker
|
|
|
If you're a poker player and you are thinking of playing online, you should pick the best online poker site in the web. Here are ways to pick the best sites from the bad ones.
Is It Legal?
Depending on where you are, online gambling may be illegal. There are even sites which ban players living in the United States. So you have to do a little research to see if you won't be breaking any rules, even if you are just placing free poker bets. However, certain loopholes in legislation will actually allow you to play in sites which are based outside America. Either way, it pays to be in-the-know when it comes to this issue.
Look For Great Membership Perks
To have an edge over others, the most dependable online poker sites will always offer great sign-up bonuses and loyalty incentives to its customers. To be able to play a few hands of poker with free poker bets is one bonus. If you are a loyal customer, some sites have a point system which would translate into great incentives such as cars and vacations. When your online poker site provides you with all these perks, it is a good indicator that they value your business.
Mix and Match
You might want to compare and try out other online poker sites to select the best one for you. Most sites will offer a free download with a limited amount of play. With this, you can use your free poker bets to test the game. Check if the game interface is user-friendly. Try to see if the site lags or not. Most importantly, look at the variety of poker games that a site offers. Also look out for different payment options and 24/7 customer support. You can always find all of these in the best online poker sites.
Make Other Bets While You Play Poker
Perhaps you may be thinking that you would be winning twice as much money if you can bet on other events such as horse racing and football while playing online poker. You should be able to use your free poker bets to gamble in other sports as well. The best online poker sites will allow it! You should really invest in a site which offers this kind of flexibility.
The Rake
A rake is a cut that online poker sites take from large pots and player tournament fees. Most big-time sites have rakes in them, especially when the bets are high.
These are just some general characteristics of great online poker sites. The important thing is to insert these into your own criteria so that you would be investing your time and money on the best! Use you free poker bets to really evaluate a site before putting in your money. |
