Keep sharp :)
"The example of Blaise Pascal, the famous French mathematician of 17th century, proves that gambling might be not so much a purpose as means. It can be an excellent exercise for mind, as in case with Pascal and another French mathematician - Fermat, who invented calculations, now known to us as theory of probabilities.
"Theory of probabilities was created when Pascal and Fermat started playing gambling games", stated one of their contemporaries.
These two scientists did sums on theory of probabilities by correspondence and the relevant material was obtained during their visits to the gambling house at leisure. Later this correspondence resulted in Pascal's treatise, "completely new composition on accidental combinations which govern the gambling games".
In his work Pascal almost completely casts out phantoms of luck and chance from gambling games, substituting them with cold statistic calculations based on the arithmetic mind. It's difficult for us to imagine what riot the invention made among the gamblers. We treat theory of probabilities as something trivial, though only specialists are sound on its details, but everyone understands its main principle. But in the times of the French mathematician, the minds of all gamblers were absorbed with such notions as "divine intent", "lap of Fortune" and other things that only enhance the obsession by the game adding extra mystical tones to the games. Pascal without any hesitation opposes his thesis to such attitude to the game "Fluctuations of happiness and luck subordinate to considerations based on fairness and which aim irrevocably to give every player what actually is owing to him".
In Pascal's hands mathematics became fabulous art of foreseeing. It is more than just amazing that unlike Galileo, the French scientist did not make numerous tiring experiments on multiple throwing dice that tool a great deal of time. In Pascal's opinion, the unique feature of the art of mathematic consideration compared to the common statistics is that it obtains its results not from the experiments but is based on "mind foreseeing", i.e. on intellectual definitions. As a result" preciseness of mathematics is combined with uncertainty of chance. Our method borrows its awkward name - "mathematics of chance" from this ambiguity". Another curious name followed Pascal's invention - "method of mathematical expectation".
Staked money, wrote Pascal, no more belonged to gamester. However, losing nth sum of money, players also gain something in return, though most of them do not even guess it. In fact, it is something absolutely virtual, you cannot touch it neither put into your pocket and to notice it - the gambler should possess certain intellectual ability. We are talking about the acquired "right to expect regular gain a chance can give according to the initial terms - stakes".
Somebody will say that it is not so encouraging. However seeming dryness of this formulation ceases when you just pay your attention to word combination "regular gain". Expectation of gain turns out to be quite justified and fair. It's another matter that a more hot-tempered person is more likely to pay his attention to the word “chance” and "can give" (and consequently it might also be otherwise).
Using his method of "mathematical expectation", the French scientist thoroughly calculates particular values of "right for gain" depending on different initial terms. Thus a completely new definition of right appears in mathematics which differs from the similar definitions of law or ethics.
"Pascal's triangle" or where theory of probabilities fails.
Pascal summed up the results of these experiments in the form of the so-called arithmetic triangle consisting of numerical numbers. If you can apply it, you can precisely foresee probability of different gains.
For common people "Pascal's triangle" looked more like magic tables of kabbalists or like a mystic Buddhist mandala. Failure to understand the invention by the illiterate public in 17th century touched the rumour that "Pascal's triangle" helped to forecast world catastrophes and natural disasters of the remote future. Indeed presentations of theory of probabilities in the form of graphic tables or figures and moreover proved by the real game caused almost religious sensations in uneducated gamblers.
Though we should not mix theory of probabilities with what it is not by its definition. "Pascal's triangle" fails to foresee the future deal in one particular case. Eyeless destiny governs such things - and Pascal never debated it. Theory of probabilities becomes useful and can be applied only in relation to the long series of chances. Only in this case, number probabilities, series and progressions, constant and known in advance can influence the decision of a clever gambler in favor of a particular stake (card, lead, etc.)
Pascal's invention is even more amazing if to take into account that its famous triangle was known to Muslim mathematician of certain religious orders many centuries ago. It is absolutely true that European Pascal could not obtain this information from anywhere.
All this once again proves that mathematical patterns of any process are the same regardless of time and space and whims of the so called Fortune. Awareness of this fact enraptured by Pythagoreans, philosophers who deeply and emotionally perceived it at that time.
One to thirty-five.
Pascal more and more often faced similar complications connected with the game that caused controversies in gambling houses and aristocratic mansions in France of that time. Among them there was a problem proposed to young Blaise by one of his aristocratic friends.
The problem concerned dice. It was desired to find how many series of throws is theoretically necessary so that the chances to win (two sixs) will dominate the probability of all other outcomes taken together. All this is not so difficult as a beginner may presume. It is easy to notice that in the game with two bones there are only 36 combinations of numbers and only one gives double six. After such explanation it is clear for any sensible person that with one-time throw there is only one chance to thirty-five to win.
The result of these simple calculations can cast down many fans of dice, but on the other hand, the rapture of those lucky ones throwing double six is staggering. Because they know the exact devil number of opposite outcomes that opposed their luck!"

Live webcam casinos....
"We play in live webcam casinos mainly for two reasons: to win some money, and more importantly, to have some fun. The fun part of playing in a casino is closely linked to winning some money, and in order to win some money, there are essential things that you should watch out when playing. Here are a few tips that you can use to make the most fun out of your time with playing, and at the same time win some money.
1. Manage your money. As stated above, we gamble in the hopes of making more money rather than losing money. You need to set aside a specific amount as your bankroll and commit to yourself that you will never spend a cent more than what you have allotted. To make this bankroll last longer, you should bet moderately and to keep yourself from making too many high-risk wagers. Also, do not throw every cent you have in one round of betting, or you will only be setting yourself up for disappointment.
2. Think your wagers through. It is so easy to get carried away with gambling. Sometimes, it is just too tempting to put in big amounts of money in the hopes of just winning. However, instead of just hoping, use your head. Think first before you make any wagers and do not just bet for the sake of betting. Make every decision you make count in your favor. Avoid betting on probabilities that seem to be impossible to pull through.
3. Use a strategy. There are lots and lots of resources on the Internet that offer various strategies for winning various casino games. If you are serious on wanting to win some money, take advantage of these resources and learn a few strategies for carrying out your game. Practice what you have learned and see how it works for you. Having a plan on how to play a casino game and implementing it correctly will help a lot towards you winning some decent cash at the casino.
4. Learn when to walk away. The best time to walk away from a live webcam casino game that you have been playing is when your winning streaks is hot. As the saying goes, quit while you are ahead. Otherwise, the mathematical odds of any game you play in the casino will rear its ugly head and start working against you. Soon enough, it will siphon away all your winnings and even some of the money you started out with in the first place.
5. Focus on just one kind of game. While it is nice to play many kinds of games in an online casino, it would be best for you to specialize on just one game if you are playing for money. Specializing on one game would help you perfect your moves for that game. If you know the ins and outs of the game you are mastering, you would soon learn how to make the best decisions about the game in an instant.
Following these tips will help you not just have fun when playing live webcam casinos, but will also help you earn some money."

Crash course on casino bonuses.
"Online casinos have been flooding the online world lately. It seems that they have been trying very hard in attracting more and more players to try their luck at online casinos. They have been have been trying to think up of different offers to catch a potential player’s attention. One such promotion is offering different types of casino bonuses to get people into playing on their online casinos.
Casino bonuses are offers being given by online casinos that would enable a player to avail of bonus betting money to wager on the several casino games being offered. The amount may differ for different online casinos. Some may give out 25 to 50 dollar bonuses for a minimum bet. There are even some online casinos that can offer a 100 percent match bonus for every deposit that the player makes. This means that if the player deposits $100 o his account, the online casino will match that amount in full, making the player acquire $200 initial betting money on his account. There are also other casinos offering bonuses next to nothing, just to have people have a taste of playing online and possibly have them hooked to play some more later on.
Although you might think that this is easy money on your part, there are certain requirements that you have to follow in order to cash in on your proceeds. Online casinos have established these requirements as a safeguard to possible abusers of their offer. One of the usual requirements is that a player should wager at least 25 times the amount of deposit and bonus before being able to cash in. There are some games like baccarat, craps, roulette and even blackjack that do not count in meeting the required wagering provisions.
Casino bonuses can really attract players into getting started on online betting. They seem to want to avail of the extra amount being offered that would provide them with more betting money. It has made many people turn into regular online players and has done well for the online casinos. But there are also some people who have taken advantage of this offer in order to cash in on casino bonuses. These players, otherwise known as “bonus hunters”, take full advantage of the offered casino bonuses by opting to cash in on their winnings after all the betting provisions are met. Whether players may like it or not, these actions are strictly prohibited by the online casinos because it has been part of their conditions that players may only play for recreational purposes only. Online casinos are always on the lookout for bonus hunters. When caught, their promotional privileges are usually revoked.
If you do not want to be labeled as a bonus hunter and have your online privileges revoked, there are certain things that you should avoid. First of all, you should refrain from maintaining multiple accounts when playing in an online casino. Also try not to cash out on your winning before fulfilling the casino’s wagering requirement. You should also try to gamble normally. A sudden increase in the amount that you bet may make the casino throw a red flag at you. And last but not the least, make sure that you have the proper credit information given and avoid having irregularities on your credit card. Wrongful information may compel casinos to bar you from playing on their site and deny you the privilege of availing casino bonuses."

A Craps System Increases Your Chances of Winning
"If you're a craps player you probably enjoy playing the craps game with a minimum of risk. A craps system is a method of obtaining this. If you follow this system you will have a long and more enjoyable play whether you're playing craps at an Indian casino or from the best casino gambling online website.
A good system for the craps game should include
The Craps game plan
Have you ever seen The Lakers or any other top football team going into the Super Bowl without a game plan? I haven't. And this is also true for the Craps game. You don't enter a serious Craps game without some sort of a game plan. With a good Craps game plan to follow, it’s less likely that you'll get caught up with all the "bad bets" at the table when things go wrong Vital questions your game plan must answer, for example is when to bet, what to bet on and how much to bet, etc.
Know Thy Odds
You should know the odds for any number that is rolled in the Craps game. As Craps players we know that the house has a definite advantage as the seven has the highest chance of rolling than any number. So a general rule of thumb should be that the further away from a seven the number is, the lower the chance it has of being rolled. Let's say a two has a one in 36 chance while an eight has five in 36 chance of rolling. So by applying a little common sense, you'll see that you should chose to place bets on numbers that have higher chances of rolling.
Craps discipline
To carry out your craps game plan, you need to drum up discipline. This means doing like the professional gamblers do; don't let greed and fear tempt you away from common sense. If you keep focused and execute a little discipline, you can play only the strongest bets on the table and eventually walk away with minor losses instead of ruin.
If the fortunate event of having a nice stack of the casino's chips in front of you occurs, executing discipline will also help you to go home."
A good system for the craps game should include
- a Craps game plan
- odds, such as knowledge
- executing enough discipline to follow the craps game plan

Casino Comps...
"Let’s talk comps--that’s short for complimentary, or freebies that you earn from casinos. Comps are a reward system for visiting a casino.
The following is an article I wrote with the intent that I wanted to approach the topic of comps with an easy, fun read. My thesaurus was worn out while looking for words with comp in them. As you will see, I added a few new words to the English language.
COMPS or complementaries for rooms, food, beverages, and other goodies are a casino’s compensation to the loyal player. However, the player has to earn them, and learn the rules of the Comp game. Just as you prepare before entering any casino, so too is a complete education part of your casino compbat training.
Slot Club Cards are your entrance pass to Comp Heaven and table game players are included as casinos are patching you into the same rating system. Slot Club Cards now encompass all the games in the casino, and it’s Free!
Slots Clubs were started in Atlantic City where casino execs were very aware that quarter slot players could easily move next door to competing casinos. Some incentive to remain loyal to their casino was established.
This plastic marketing tool now comprises policy for most casinos worldwide.
Read the casinos’ literature, and determine which casinos give the most compromising bang for your buck.
You want to develop a best, better and good casino complete listing. There is no complaint list as it is only to your benefit as a player to join.
Compiling active status and total points plus the redeemable value of your card is mandatory for any competent player.
Analyze casino card offers as they will compensate you, the games you play, the surroundings, dining/menu offerings, entertainment, and particularly cash back.
What are you competing for? Free room, free food, free shows, playing coupons, promotional items as take-home souvenirs, or cash-back?
To compare, the rebates available are:
All casino players have complied in the beverage category.
RFB - king of COMPs - room, food, and beverage - all that any high roller or ‘whale’ could comprehend, however, with some limitations, low to medium players are eligible.
The compcept is to reward all loyal slot players.
Cash Rebates – depending on the dollar value for every $100 play, this should determine the casinos ‘rating’ for your compliance list. Turn the tables and ‘rate’ the casinos when comparing slot cards.
Meal COMPs - averaging one meal comp for every four hours of quarter machine play.
I ask for a meal comp after a jackpot win and have never been refused---the casino wants to keep you at the company store, plus no standing in line--you head straight for the VIP or ‘invited guest’ short queue; composed as you pass other waiting diners.
Room COMPs: watch your mailbox for casino newsletters, companion room offers or members can reserve rooms at casino rate—generally a 50% reduction.
Another component is entertainment goodies. 2 for 1-weekday show coupons and members’ rewards can be a headliner showcomp in the mail.
Promotional Gifts - dice, cards, caps, t-shirts and that’s just for signing on. Your birthday greetings arrive with compatible meal, room and cash coupons.
Funbooks and ‘lucky bucks’: compensation for table games. Put your bet down with these coupons and you’ve just reduced the house advantage. Ask for these when reserving your room, registering, when you book your trip, or all three.
Swing by the front desk to pick up casino brochures or local freebie magazines in the larger casino areas and compclip.
VIP compatible for active members -- special handling just for you.
More complimentary tips:
Ask, ask and ask again—be friendly—-if you are comptitled.
Make friends with the slot host. Ladies are more competent with the male slot hosts...get my drift?
Call the toll free number or go online at your favorite casinos for updated compformation.
Contact casino marketing or Events Manager. Ask for total points accumulated, the redeemable value, upcoming special promotions, especially double or triple points days—an incomparable advantage of an active member’s dreams.
Two comppers can reach their freebie goal faster; request two slot cards with same name/membership compartment number and doublecomp those points.
Participate in a companion run hitting at least five casinos, joining as you go and collect all the compoffers.
It’s a common miscompception among gamblers that you must lose money to qualify—not true. Casinos want your time in their establishment—use those cards.
Tracking your points is based on all monies put through machines whether you are dropping coins or playing off your credits—it all computes.
Look UP, at the neon signs, in the casinos windows; where they advertise their best games, best payouts—all compliments of the house.
Attaching a card to you is a good idea. I’m the one with the colorful twisted cord attached to me. I have lost my composure and nearly a vital body part at times when forgetting to remove my card.
Finally, wager management should also be part of your complete education. Don’t play just for COMPs, however, in comparison—a reduction in the cost of play increases your gambling bankroll.
Compulsive gambling is bad but compulsion is good for every casino player; not only will you have good luck but you are making your luck with competence."

Look UP, at the neon signs, in the casinos windows; where they advertise their best games, best payouts—all compliments of the house.
Attaching a card to you is a good idea. I’m the one with the colorful twisted cord attached to me. I have lost my composure and nearly a vital body part at times when forgetting to remove my card.
Finally, wager management should also be part of your complete education. Don’t play just for COMPs, however, in comparison—a reduction in the cost of play increases your gambling bankroll.
Compulsive gambling is bad but compulsion is good for every casino player; not only will you have good luck but you are making your luck with competence."
(Not as complete a guide as I would have liked, but definetly a starting point :) DL)

Tips for picking the right online casino
"Casinos are becoming easier to access thanks to the power of the internet. The internet allows gamblers to play 24/7 wherever they may be. Because of that, there have been more and more casinos popping up online. How do you know which one is the best online casino to pick? Here are some tips to pick the best online casino out there.
1. Find out which software the company is using to run their online casinos. Some major software providers are Microgaming, Cryptologic, Net Entertainment, Boss Media, Playtech, and Rtg. A company that uses tried and tested software means that they are trying to make a name for themselves. Software created by major companies is not cheap, if they use expensive software; it only means they are probably serious.
2. A great casino should also offer great customer service support. They should be available where ever, when ever. They should also be able to be contacted in every way possible, 24/7. They should also be friendly, helpful and quick to respond to player’s problems.(You can always call before you try! DL)
3. Try to ask around for the best online casinos. Why believe only what you read in their sites? Try to find out what other users think about their site. (There are tons of "Fake" review sites out there, I try to search the casino name + Blacklist, or complaints. DL)
4. Find a casino that fits your computer and internet connection. If you have a slow connection, you may have a long time to download the games. If your computer components are also kind of slow, it might affect the images and game play. The main reason people play online is to experience a better gaming experience. If your computer and the casino are not compatible, why play online?
5. Always look at the terms and conditions. There will be online casinos that offer bonus play, but only after some conditions are met. ( Always read it caefully, if your unsure, call customer suport to explain. Don't learn the hardway like I did. DL)
6. Always check out the different games offered. The more games that you like, the better. If you love playing slot machines, try looking for a casino that offers great slot machines. ( Actually I prefer Sicbo DL :))
7. Always consider how you'll be able to pay for those games. Are there easy ways to pay for them through the bank? Always pay in the most efficient way .
8. Consider how you can be paid. Some casinos pay within 24 hours, some takes long weeks and could even reach months. If you win a big amount, some will pay you in staggered payment. I.e. if you win $15,000 you’ll be paid for 3 weeks. This is because some casinos limit their pay to $5,000 per week. So check their holding and process terms.
9. Do more research about the casino. There are online casinos that are linked with land casinos. This gives them less chance to run off with your money (unless the casino can be folded up and flown away).
10. Follow your guts, all of the things mentioned above may be correct. But in the end, your gut will tell what is right and what isn't."

9 Ways To Win At Sports Betting
"If you are looking to try your luck at sports betting then know that you do have greater odds of winning in this game than you would in roulette or craps. While those are games of chance, sports betting is a game of predicting a foreseeable outcome. Here are some tips on how to win big at the big game.
9.Place Bets on the Right Sports Book
Statistics suggest that placing bets with the correct sports book will make a big difference, and increase the odds of winning by 3%.
8.Bet Against the Public
There are some that claim that “fading the public” can be profitable. This has led many bettors to bet on the other team than is predicted.
7.Do Your Homework Before the Game
The best way to win sports betting is to research all aspects of a game, especially circumstances and data that others would not consider. Not even bookies will have time to research every sport and every game. Therefore, if you can create a niche for yourself, you could become an expert on a smaller conferences and find yourself winning big money. (Like any gamble, preperation is a HUGE advantage DL)
6.Choose the Underdog at Home
Statistically speaking, it’s a good idea to bet on an underdog at home. A team will put forth their best effort at home stadium and underdogs have a way of triumphing over the odds in general. Using this strategy you may beat the odds too.
5.Bet at Just the Right Time
Bettors who bet on underdogs usually bet early. Therefore, if you are betting on an underdog try and bet late. If you are betting on the favorite then bet early. Going against the grain in sports gambling is often a smart move.
4.Make Arbitrage Bets
You can make money on sure bets regardless of the outcome of a game with arbitrage bets. The advantage of these bets is that it doesn’t matter what the outcome of a game is, since the only bet you made was on a specific happening.
3.Square or Sucker Lines
Many betters try to stay away from square lines (that is, lines that are designed to lure public opinion into betting a certain way) and in the end, can even make money off these phony wagers if they can closely monitor the betting percentages.
2.Never Gamble While Drinking
This may be common knowledge to some, a great shock to others. However, when you drink an alcoholic beverage, your judgment will be significantly clouded. A drink may also give you that extra “courage” to make a rash and expensive decision. (This one took me awhile to sort out DL)
1.Manage your Gambling Money
Another lesson in common sense that is often ignored when it comes time to put down a wager: never bet more than you can afford to lose. In fact, it is recommended that you set aside a portion of your money for betting and to stick with it, regardless of your winnings or losses. Lastly, try to spread your total among a few smaller bets rather than risk it all on one sure thing that may not be as predictable as everyone thinks."

Video Poker Pointers
"Video Poker combines both Luck and skill. The luck part is the cards that are randomly dealt to the player. The skill part encompasses much more then simply knowing what to hold and what to fold. Here's an article that will discuss some of the things every video poker player should be doing, regardless of their game play strategy.
1. Only Play At Full Pay Machines
One of the smartest things any potential video poker player can do is to check the payout schedule before he or she starts playing. The payout schedule tells you how much you'll be paid for each winning hand. In a Jacks or Better Video Poker game 9/6 is considered full pay. That simply means that 9 coins are paid out for a Full House and 6 coins are paid out for a Flush. Many casinos pay out less then 9/6, meaning that in the long run, you'll simply win less money.
2. Always Play Max Coins
A Mistake many novice players make is to play fewer coins, thinking this will keep them in the game longer. The problem with that theory is many machines will give you proportionately more coins for hitting a Royal Flush with max coins then they will for hitting with less then the max. If you're worried about going through your bankroll too quickly, play at a low coin size. Or, if you're really not sure how to play, us a play for free version of the game until you've gotten your feet wet. (This is actually a great idea for any game, and one I try to "preach" as loud and often as posible DL)
3. Plan How Much You're Willing To Lose --And Stick To It.
There is a lot of luck involved in winning Video Poker. Unfortunately, too many players keep pumping coins into the machine, thinking their luck is bound to change. Successful players know that some days you have it and some you don't. Before you start playing, have a set amount that you're willing to lose, once that money is gone quit playing. (Once again, any time your gambling this is the way to go. I personally start with $20.00 and when I win $20.00 my initial cash goes back in my pocket to stay. DL)
4. Take Your Time
Video poker is a game of man against machine. Always remember that there is no time limit. Make sure that you carefully review your cards, with each hand. Take as much time as you need, no one is waiting for you so don't feel pressured to make your move. Don't hit that draw button until you're ready. (There is never a rush to play, enjoy yourself and stay relaxed. You won't make as many dumd mistakes DL)
5. Take advantage of the "Play for Free" Games
Novice players need experience; obviously the best way to gain experience is to play. Fortunately, many online casinos offer "Play for free" versions of some maybe even all of their video poker versions. Take advantage of these and develop your strategy before you plunk down your money." (Don't play until your ready, it will make the difference between going home with a wad of cash, or crying in a wad of kleenex DL)

I'm going to start posting some of my PLR articles....
Or at least parts of them. To be fair, and because I don't like to take credit for other peoples work, I will put "..." around any work that isn't originally mine. Not because I'm lazy, but because I have a lot of information I think people would benifit from in PLR, and I am not all about trying to sell it for $. So I figured posting it for free would be a great way to share it.
Well worth it, free and no sign up :)
