WANNA BE FUNNY LIKE ME?

Online casino craps – originates from the word crap! Bah-hah-hah! That’s me making a joke! I’ll tell you all online casino gamblers a secret: craps is one of the best games out there! Believe me, I’ve tried them all! And it was all pretty damn crappy except for online casino craps! I’m not gonna be all luring and stuff, and say that this is an easy game to play! You actually have to learn the rules and understand what’s all the commotion’s about, in order to win a buck in online casino craps! So, if you have an IQ of Paris Hilton I wouldn’t be so bold as to recommend you this amazingly “crappy” online casino game (yep, joking again).

But if you’ve managed to conquer your dyslexia, or whatever other child-trauma you had, and now you can actually read and comprehend some instructions, then get your ass down to an online casino and start playing those casino craps! See how good of a mood I’m in?! Well, that’s cause I’ve just won in the game of online casino craps! Not so crappy at all, is it?! (I get it, the joke’s getting old! So good bye and good luck)!

Mayflower’s Sailing Back

Hey, you online gambling dudes! How’ve you all been holding up? I mean with all those crappy news about the Unlawful Gambling Bill?!.. Darn it! You know, that this whole banning of the online casino playing in the Sates is actually good news for someone? For whom you asked? Well, not for those who opposed online casino gambling anyway! For all those foreign dudes! Yeah, Europe – Sheurope, exactly! Now many of our favorite online casino websites are actually beginning to develop new websites in various languages other than English!

Yep, if we can’t play, other lucky bastards are gonna get to win all those awesome online casino jackpots! So, this is totally bogus: like online casinos in Norwegian (what the hell is THAT?) in French and Spanish! Whatever! Anyway it’s a total bummer! I guess for me to play in my favorite online casino I will have to immigrate now! Yep, I am gonna be that funny lookin’ guy with an artistic beard or whatever! Just call me Jacque… But at least I’ll get to play my favorite online casino games!

dont go all wild on insurance

This is just a mistake I think a lot of players are making at the online casino and because I’m such a people person, I would to share this with you, hoping that you my friend, will not make the insurance mistake. So, one of the worst plays you can make is insuring a hand of 20 made up of two 10’s. What you’re actually doing is insuring yourself against the dealer having a 10 when you’ve already reduced the odds of him having one by having two yourself. Listen, don’t you already pay enough on car insurance?

Another mistake is choosing the wrong play when the dealer shows an ace and could be holding a possible Blackjack. Ok, now lets say you have a blackjack and that dealer the dealer has that ace- at this point you can still purchase insurance. Many players fear having a push forced on them and end up taking ‘even money’. Taking Insurance on your Blackjack vs a Dealer’s Ace is called ‘even money’ because regardless of the Dealer’s hand, you will take an ‘even money’ payout of 1-1 on your blackjack. They say that you learn from your mistakes, but you also lose lots o’ money.

5 cent spin on slots

Slots is the ultimate game for tightasses. While my folks rather put up with the stink of the landbased casino, I upgraded to the online version, although still enjoying playing small scale. Some slot machines give you an opportunity to play for as little as 5 cents per spin. Check Monaco Gold for instance. I don’t think you can get any lower than that, and believe me when I say that I mean this in the most positive way. The good thing about the nickels and dimes slot game is that it can simply go on…and on…and on. And I really like snailing on and on with slots.

I actually decided couple months ago to brief my parents in the online casino world. Or should I say to brief them into the computer world. I got as far as to introducing them to the Enter button although my mom did some far out moves with the mouse.They’ve still got a long way to go until they’d achieve my high level online slot gambling expertise.

Goa explores casino world

The state of Goa in India is exploring the idea of becoming a mini vegas, I exaggerate of course, but it looks like there is some movement there in the gambling direction. Since the online casino scene is light years away from becoming a national craze (because seriously, you can’t get a decent internet connection there), it looks like this is the right move. Actually the Indian congress is leading a move that invites proposals to set up ten offshore casinos.

There is a lot of opposition to the governments plan; they are saying that Goa will change into a dangerous place and would promote a ‘prostitution and gambling centric tourism’. Goa, I hear, is a beautiful place - haven’t been there, but as it happens, some of my best friends are Indians, and they believe that Goa will just get stronger from a move like this.

So Many Options with Craps

Wow I never thought playing craps could be this much fun! I’ve played the game at land-based casinos before, and didn’t quite get what the fuss was about, but when I play the online casino version of the game – man I am hooked! I think I like the game so much because of the large number of betting options. I am used to playing blackjack or this and that poker variation, but with online casino craps, there are just so many things a player can gamble on, and it’s just great.

It’s a bit more complicated to understand at first, as the board is big and has many markings and number, but if you know how to play craps in the real world, the online casino version won’t be a problem. I didn’t check the online help, because I know how to play, but I am sure they have a good explanation on how to play and what actually goes on at the craps room. If you are looking for a game that has many options, and doesn’t necessary end after one throw – online casino craps is the game for you!

A Great Place to Gamble Online

Monaco Gold Casino is one of the best online casino sites that I’ve ever visited and I highly recommend you to try it out. There are many online casino sites out there, as you all know, but there are only a few that deliver such an intense online casino gambling experience – I mean it! I think that the best feature at an online casino is the number and diversity of games, and Monaco Gold Casino has plenty of both.

I guess everyone has it’s own favorite things about their online casino gambling, but his site is one that you simply have to try out. The promotions are great, they update their selection often, and there are many bonuses to choose from (which is always great). But you know, the best thing about online casino gambling is the people you play against, and in this department, Monaco Gold Casino has no competition.

I’ve played in several online casino rooms at Monaco Gold Casino and the experience was lovely. There were nice people playing and the game went by pleasantly and with no interruption. Just give the site a go and you’ll see how nice it is. Have fun!

Casino Reviews for All

Hey Guys! I know that all you online casino players out there are looking for online casino reviews, and I found a great site that publishes reviews for all the sites that we play at. You probably already know it. The site is called Poker News, and it is generally a site that has poker reviews and other poker related sites, but now it also features online casinos reviews.

You can find the site under the Poker News Casino URL, and you’ll find many useful online casino articles and reviews of online gambling sites. It’s a real gem for players like us. I am always looking for new sites to play at, and reading a review before registering for an online casino is something that all of you should do! Take a few minutes and read some of the reviews on the site, I am sure you’ll like it.

The best thing about the new site (and I am sure you will all appreciate this one) is that is it absolutely free. It’s a free resource for online casino information, and everyone can access it and use it as they wish. If you know of any more sites that offer online casino reviews that are trustworthy, please do share!

Prizes at free slots

The world is a-changing and I hope you are sitting down when I tell you that you can win real- REAL money at some free casino slots. Now, you can forget about me promoting a certain site because I’m not winning enough there but I will tell you this- it’s true. I mean, it used to be nice to get things like free spins and small prizes and I admit- but this time around I came back for more, because hmmm… Free slots with free gifts – I’ll take two! Anyway, a lot of sites have the free spin thing but check out the well designed sites (a nicely designed site is the first step towards believing they will deliver real prizes) and look for a section describing the prizes or tournaments with defined prizes. Free casino slots offer real prizes today, and I’m talking real money here- you can get credit that can be played as real money at the online casino. Don’t look so surprised, you knew it was coming. The online gambling industry is growing and you can expect to see a relative increase in the number of new free-play sites with real prizes. When the competition grows the value of the prizes will also increase and this, my friends, is excellent news for us!

New Online Slots Club Launched

Fans of online casino slots will be happy to learn that Everest Casino, one of the best online casino sites that I ever visited, is now offering a new feature called “The Slots Club.” During my last visit to the online casino, I’ve noticed their promotion for the great new club, and I knew that there will be people here that would love to hear about it.

Now, check this out! The club is free for every slots loving online casino player! That’s right; all you need to do is punch in a code for the membership and that’s it – you are a member of The Slots Club. You only have to register for the club once, and all the features will become available for you. What are the benefits, you ask? Each member is automatically signed for the monthly promotion!

I did a little checking on this one, and apparently, the online casino divides the players to different ‘classes’ according to the amount of money you spent at the online casino. There are three classes: Gold, Silver, and Bronze. I am not sure what each of the classes stands for, but I am going to find out and post an update soon. Hope you have fun!

How to dress

Hi all! I’ve been playing online baccarat game for a few years now and always wanted to try and play it in a real casino. I thought it’s much better to come to a real place where the games are running and the money is flowing. So when my husband and I decided to go to a vacation, I asked him to go to the famous Monaco casino. We were so excited about playing in a place like this, we did not at all predict any problems.

And the major problem was that we weren’t dressed properly! Apparently, for a game of baccarat a tie and a jacket is needed! Who would imagine! It kinda ruined our evening, since my husband didn’t have a tie and there were no ties to hire. And Monaco, you know, is sooooooo expensive, we couldn’t afford to buy him a $200 tie! After I got home, I was told that in Las Vegas they are less strict on this subject. Next time we are definitely going to play baccarat in Vegas! Long live America!

A basic Craps starter offer

“I was asked about the basics of craps lately, about the kinds of bets and what not. If you’re looking for a diverse game to play, craps should do the job. I know it can be intimidating for beginners with all the different kinds of bets there are and the fast pace of the game that allows little time for questions. You can start out with the basic bet and use it for your first encounters with the game. In time you will become more experienced and add more bets to your list of bets. First of all, understand that it is a game of rounds. The first roll in a round is called the come out roll and sometimes the outcome of a round will be determined on the come out roll. Rolling a 2, 3, 7, 11 or 12 ends the round. If any other total is rolled that number is called the point. By placing a white puck on an area of the table, the dealer points out what the point is. If a point is rolled then the dice will be rolled until the same point is rolled again or a 7 is rolled. Anyway that’s a starter. It helps a lot to understand dice probability which will take you one more step further into understanding craps.”

Chances are that you have played online poker in the past, or are even a big fan of the game. Many online casino gamblers don’t even know other games, playing online poker only at the sites. But for those who are not among this group, and who need some encouragement or an invitation to join it, here are a few words to help you make up your mind. Pker is such a great game and the online casino industry has done so much to make it even better nand more entertaining, that one cannot walk away without being impressed.

Tips About Tips

As a beginning gambler, the most important thing to know is how to tell between a good advice and a bad one. online casinos bring you the full guide for the tip searcher.

Every new gambler is hungry for those little tidbits of information that can make the trip to the table exiting and rewarding. Gambling tips are available all over the Internet, and they can with no doubt, and very easily, be divided into two kinds. Good tips and bad tips. The problem is it's often hard to tell.

Luckily, some sort of intuitive or nonobvious mathematical reasoning usually backs gambling tips. So when you're searching the web, picking up the latest tips to help you gamble, pay careful attention to the source of the tips, and the logic they seem to promote. Seeing the same tips over and over again is not a bad thing. This usually means that they are generally accepted, or they have all come from one source, and that source must be quite accessible to Internet publishers.

When we talk about gambling tips, we must talk about the odds. As you may know, odds are based on the mathematics known as probability. Probability is used in all aspects of our lives from weather and business to science and technology. Is it likely to rain tomorrow? The company you want to invest in, how successful will it be? What are the odds for you to get a scholarship? When it comes to gambling, the question becomes, what are the house odds? Check out our page on gambling odds.

Gambling tips generally match up with components of advanced or basic gambling strategies. When you find a good tip, search using a search engine and see if you can find the same tip somewhere else. If you can't, go and ask a gambling expert. There are many community forums online where professional or seasoned gamblers will be happy to help you out. Since these tips should match up with logic, look for the logic within them. But tips are not always the same thing as advice on specific situations within a game. That more reasonably falls under the topic of gambling strategies.

Many gambling tips are taken from published gambling books, and often go without proper credit. These tips are usually laid out in a simple to understand style with some supporting statement.

Never make the five-number bet (0, 00, 1, 2, and 3). Its house edge is 7.89%.
Search for European roulette wheels (37 numbers including single 0). The house edge on all bets is 2.70%.

These are ideal examples of good gambling tips. They include a logical element, backed by mathematical example of how the house edge is reduced. Some good tips never mentioned the house edge, as they are general rules to gamble by. For example - no betting system will change the casino's advantage.

Gambling Tips

Before starting or better saying continuing with war online casino I had a request to publish some online casino and gambling tips so here is it:

The next tips will help you have a more enjoyable and rewarding experience when gaming at web-based casinos.

Know your casino
Choose the casino you are going to play in carefully. Always play at casinos with quality customer service in case problems arise. Try asking a question before making a deposit to estimate response time. For more information about choosing a casino, click here.

Know your game
Not all games are created equally. There is almost endless information both on the web and in print to help you know and understand the odds you face in any given game and the strategies that will help reduce the house edge to a minimum.

By researching the games you like to play, you can give yourself a significant advantage when playing the casinos. For example, if Blackjack is your preferred game, find online blackjack strategies and learn the best ways to beat the dealer. All casinos make their profits from players making the wrong decisions. Although you cannot guarantee your win, you can give yourself a much better chance. There are even strategy guides for games such as Roulette so have a look around before you bet on big money.

Most reputable casinos have a link to an audit of their games odds. These third party audits list the average player return on the various games, and are a great way to see what pays out the most and what games to avoid.

Take advantage of special offers.
Special offers are there to attract new players to the casinos. You might as well take advantage of these until you find your perfect casino. Some are as high as £200 free. This will help you to place larger bets and win BIG! If redeeming a bonus, be sure to check the terms on cashing out beforehand. Certain bonuses at online casinos require you wager certain amounts before cashing out.

For more information about online casino bonuses, click here. Another advantage of gambling online is the free games. Try playing for free at new casinos before playing with real money. This will allow you to try all their games out risk-free.

Play to a budget
What exactly does that mean? Let's say you've got $500 and you expect to gamble twice a week for the next couple weeks. That's $125 per session and that's your budget for any given session. Put the rest away, forget about it and enjoy the money you've got in front of you. DO NOT under any circumstances touch another day's bankroll. If you lose all your money, walk away and come back another day. This is how you remain a happy and successful gambler and not an ongoing loser. You can find more information in our money management article.

Play only with money you can afford to lose
Gambling on The Internet is much the same as gambling in a land based casino and the same rules apply. Upon entering the casino you should only deposit money, (ideally from a credit card) which you can afford to lose. This way you guarantee you are not going to gamble away your car or your clothes.

We've all heard and said it before: only gamble with money that you can afford to lose. Anything you can't afford to lose - like the rent money - is called "scared money" because that's what you'll be if you even get close to betting with it. And scared gamblers are losers-in-training. If you play this way you may well need professional counseling. Gamblers Anonymous and The Internet Gaming Council's Helping Hands are ready, willing and able to assist troubled gamblers.

Don't play while under influence
The casinos know way it goes: you booze - you lose.

A stoned/drunk/coked-up gambler is, and this is a big under statement, a lesser player than they would be straight. Why do you think the brick-and-mortar casinos give the drinks away?

Remember that nothing beats a game of chance
If you want to find out how useless the fancy betting systems are, try them out on a "Free" game for a while and you'll see how far they get you. Guaranteed way to beat Roulette, or Craps, or the Lottery, or Keno? Martingale, Fibonacci, whatever grand name they have, they all spell "lose faster" not "win more". The only possible way to guarantee that you'll walk away a winner from these chance games is if they are fixed.

Play by the numbers not by hunches and gimmicks
If you're playing to win, know the odds of your game and play accordingly. The numbers may be less thrilling, but they are your roadmap to avoiding the losing plays. Hunches, ESP, clairvoyance, tealeaves, remote viewing and divination are all sorry secondary choices to the mathematics of your game.

That "insurance" bet in Blackjack: house edge around 6%. The so-called "crapless craps": again, about 6%. The side bet in Caribbean Stud: over 25% house edge. What's the moral of this story? Aside from knowing your game and being highly familiar with the odds you face, the moral is "forget the gimmicks". Sure there's the occasional exception but in general the "add-ons" to the basic games are sucker bets, remember, the casino knows its business.

Start out small and work up.
If you start with a $25 deposit, gamble small $2 stakes to begin with. This will give you the ability to get a good feel for the game and the casino. This will also allow you to double your bet when there is the opportunity without risking too much. If you win a couple of hands in a row and you are comfortable with the casino, you should increase the bet, preferably after putting some of it aside. There's only one way to win big money and that is risk big money, but again only what you can afford.

Take the winnings and run
Before you start playing have a plan for when to stop. This certain time varies between players. Some decide to quit when they're up by 50%. Others bail when the tide turns and they lose 20% of their winnings. Some when they've doubled their session bankroll. Whatever your decision is, it's important to have one (only one) and stick to it. Otherwise you'll just keep playing until you can't and by then you'll have lost all the money you won. Forget getting even, forget the big cash, enjoy what you have won. Greedy players make big losers.

Expect to lose
On practically every bet you make in whatever game you play, the house's win is designed right into the rules of the game. Casinos do not depend on luck to stay in business. That edge generally means they'll be the winner a lot more often than you will be. You can find and play games where the house edge is 1.5% or less but you'll have to do your homework to find them. Sites like ours are a good place to start your education, but never forget that the casinos know their work and are in business to take your money.

Have fun
After reading all these tips there is one important thing to remember. Unless you're a professional player with a proven track record, you're playing for the pleasure of it. For 98% of players casino gambling is fun pastime - you're spending money to be entertained. If the fun stops, so should you.
