Doubling up can be deadly at Online Roulette

February 8th, 2010

Not many people are aware of this but playing roulette, and especially the online casino version, can be very rewarding. There are a lot of players who scoff at the idea of playing roulette, thinking that a player can only come out ahead by hitting a run of luck betting on a particular number and letting it roll once or twice.

There are also tales of roulette players who follow a system, known as the Martindale, where if they lose a particular spin, they automatically double their bets on the next spin, and on and on, till they actually win. According to Martindale, when a players does win they not only get all their money back, but also win more than they would normally have done on the last spin. There are two obvious flaws in following the Martindale system, especially when it comes to online gaming. First of all, no one can guarantee a player that they won’t run out of money (or nerve) before the next winning bet comes up; Secondly online casinos follow strict table limits that will not allow a player to bet more than a certain sum of money on a spread. That means that at a certain stage they will be unable to double their bets, and the house odds will continue to work against them.

That is why double your money systems to cut back on losses, such as the infamous Martingale one, will not work on an online casino, as history has proven that they rarely do in a land casino. Players who win consistently at online Roulette are usually those who have developed a betting strategy, which almost always means betting consistently. Even in an online casino, where there is usually no audience to witness these rare magic moments when a bet playing 35-1 comes up, it is still a very nice feeling. However there are those who will tell you that coming out ahead at more spins than less at odds of four or five to one is much more satisfying in the long run.
And that chasing losses is a recipe for disaster.

Playing Blackjack Online is a whole new card game.

February 8th, 2010

Anyone who has ever been compelled to play blackjack at an online casino will tell you what a difficult and frustrating experience it can be, unless you can get a chance to play a table on your own without the interference of other players. Each of them with their own ideas of how the game should be played.

To be fair, it should be said that Blackjack is a game where enjoyment should take precedence over actually winning every time. However players should be entitled to get some value for their money when playing in a land casino, but more often than not, this does not happen.

However, playing blackjack online is a whole new card game. Not only can a player enjoy playing their favourite game in the comfort and convenience of their own home, , with no-one leaning over their shoulder to place bets, breathing alcoholic fumes on them, and flicking their fag ash into your coffee.

Apart from these minor details, what a player gets to enjoy most of all by playing blackjack online is that they can also enjoy the luxury of playing against the house entirely on their own. They can play one hand or even five handed against the player without the fear that some bravado who is trying impress his girlfriend, or even worse, your girlfriend, by drawing a card on fifteen while to dealer is holding a six.

In online casinos, players enjoy a much higher playing odds percentage than they do in a land casino, and this is never nearer the truth with blackjack. It’s no secret that land casino owners love blackjack because it is one of the only games where players can influence the outcome of the hand, both in favour of the players as well as the house. Sadly its usually in favour of the house, meaning the blackjack in a land casino is really profitable, where in online casino mode the odds are much more in favour of the player. So cast your bad memories aside and try your luck and skills playing Blackjack online at A Gambling Casino. You will soon discover that it is a whole new card game.

Understanding the basics of Craps

February 8th, 2010

Craps, when it was first played in its basic form, was a very simple game. It was meant to be that players would throw two dice, and some would bet that seven would come up and other would bet that a “point” meaning any other number would be thrown first. It usually meant that the players who bet against sevens coming up lost, as the statistical chances of seven being thrown is much higher than any other combination. However, in those days, people who played craps were not known for their mathematical abilities, as the game was mostly played in back alleys or in the back rooms of salons and pubs. Complaining to the management wasn’t always an option.

When Craps was transferred to a casino setting, the odds changed a little and the chances of players winning also increased with it. This was because a player could also place bets against the possibilities of the seven being thrown, which also made the game a lot more interesting.
In the casino version, before the shooter makes a pass, players make either a Pass Line bet or a Don’t Pass bet. That means if either a seven or eleven comes up, players who bet on that line get paid even money. If a “craps” bet (two, three or twelve) comes up, then the seven or eleven loses, and the players who bet on “any craps” get paid out very attractive odds.
This sequence can go on until the shooter makes a “point” which is any of the following numbers ( four, five, six, eight, nine or ten) After the point has been made the shooter continues to toss the dice until either the point is made or seven is thrown. If the player succeeds in making the point, they will usually be allowed to “keep the dice” and continue onto the next roll. If they throw a seven, and especially if it is early on in the pass, they will certainly not be invited to take on another pass, and will usually leave the table, the victim of some heavy stares and veiled threats.

Online craps hasn’t changed that much from the land casino version as far as rules are concerned. The one major difference is that an online player can pit their wits against the house on their own, and without any pressure of time. An interesting new development in online craps is the development of online craps tournaments. These tournaments are based on the winning formula of Texas Hold’em tournaments where a player pays a fixed entry fee, is issued a few thousand playing chips and has to play against the house for a certain amount of time. The player who has the most chips at the end of the time wins the tournament and a fairly substantial prize. At A Gambling Casino we are pleased to keep players up to date on all the latest craps play and tournaments.
