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!"

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."
