Win the Lottery – tips

Monday, March 29th, 2010

Don’t use family birthdays – this is a popular mistake!

Sure it lacks originality but more than that it reduces your chances of winning the lottery. Just think about it — the days and months only go up to 31 and

12. Even if you do win the lottery using your birth digits, the chances are you’ll have to split the winnings with more people. After all everyone’s birthday

begins with 19 (and anyone who doesn’t should not be playing the lottery). The same applies to buying a ticket when there’s a bigger jackpot — more people

play so the odds are more people win. Let’s be honest you don’t want to have to share your winnings with strangers anymore than you want to hear from your

second cousin twice removed after a 20-year silence.

Don’t make a nice pattern!
Diagonal lines, straight lines, star shapes, boxes, zig-zags – doing this on your slip is silly. You might think you’re being smart but again, you and

thousands of other people will have the exact same thought.

Check ball frequency!
They tell us it’s all totally random, but certain balls have a knack of being drawn more freqeuntly than others. Find out which ones apear most often when

making your choices. Number seven and multiples of it are popular choices. And rightly so, number seven appears in the list of top 10 winning numbers in both

the South African and UK lotteries.

Actually check the results!
You’d be suprised how many people don’t check whether they’ve won the lottery. What’s more, winning tickets have to be claimed within 180 days of the draw,

otherwise the money goes off to the Lotto’s Good Causes fund. A ticket worth ฃ9,476,995 was once distributed in this way and it was the 24th prize in excess

of a million pounds to be unclaimed.

Become a worker!
Camelot recently released a list of the top Lottery-winning professions. Builders and workers have been the biggest winners, followed by administators and

managers. The unluckiest in the Top 40? Poor funeral directors.

Go for a tarot card reading
It’s worked for some people. Housing officer Janette Wright was told by a tarot card reader that one day she would come into money. A few years later, she

bought a Lucky Dip and promptly won a ฃ1,633,505 Lotto jackpot.

Super Hot Tips For Online Gamblers

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

Gambling online will probably go down as one of the great technological activities. No more smoky casinos (unless you like that sort of thing). No more traveling to the nearest casino-perhaps some dump. So now that we have this great advancement upon us, how can we make it better? Today, I’ll give you 4 super hot tips for online gamblers. Before you rush out to gamble online, make sure you check out these tips.

You’re Not Due

No, I’m not talking about pregnancy. I’m talking about this dumb feeling many gamblers get that they are somehow due to win. It happens a lot with video poker and slot players. They think the machine knows they’ve been there for X hours and lost Y dollars. It doesn’t. Remember, you’re never due to win. Never gamble like you are.

Play the Field

Just like with women, all online casinos are different to some degree. You wouldn’t marry the first woman that gave you the time of day would you? Don’t answer that. Likewise, you should check out a few different casinos-at least taste them. By playing the field, you’ll find out just what is the best online casino for you.

It’s All About the Progressives

If you play online slots, video poker, keno or Caribbean Stud Poker, pay attention. These games, and some others, have progressive jackpots and not all progressive jackpots were created equal-some not even close. Progressive jackpots can vary wildly from online casino to online casino. And that’s why it’s vital that you do your research. Let’s say you love Caribbean Stud Poker. Well, it’s possible that a progressive payout is $90,000 at one online casino and $25,000 at another. See any difference? It’s nuts.

Show Me the Money

Bonus money baby, that’s what I’m talking about. I’ve seen hundreds of online casinos and most of them give out bonus cash in one form or another. But the Devil is in the details. Some want you to flip your account 75 million times to get it and others just have reasonable expectations. And all of them offer different bonuses. I’ve see some that will give you up to $50 and others that will give you up to $1,000.

Never, ever play at an online casino unless you get a decent bonus. I’ve spotted some that try to skimp in this area. Walk away. There is too much free money out there to be had. I’d also look for online casinos that offer reload bonuses and other goodies. There it is. Four super hot tips for online gamblers. Play smart, win more. Have fun out there.

A Few Tips For Blackjack.

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

When I first started showing interest a few years back in playing blackjack, a friend of mine gave me a list of tips and unofficial personal rules; where he got them from I have no idea, but I more or less stuck to them and they served me well, so I figured the time has come to share the wisdom a little.

Choose a low minimum bet table: 5% of your bankroll is around the max that you want to be betting per hand, so playing at a table with a minimum that exceeds that percentage is asking for trouble. The danger is that with a high minimum table you run the risk of loosing your bankroll before without opportunities to regain lost revenue.

Never split 10s: it may be tempting to play the two hands, but 20 isn’t far off from 21, so be happy with what you have!

5s Never, 8s Always: a pair of 5s should never be split but a pair of 8s should be split in all circumstances except for when the dealer is showing a 10.

Always split Aces: getting a blackjack is, as they say, the name of the game, so splitting aces gives you two chances to do just that.

Stick on 17; no matter what your gut says, just stick with what you have. Bear in mind that the dealer has to stick on 17, plus if you think even for a second about the number of cards in the deck and how much they add up to you will soon realize that the chances of getting a 4 or less are much lower than the chances of getting a 5 or more – just don’t do it!

The fewer decks in use the better the odds are for the player; the biggest leap in the house advantage is between one and two decks, but it does rise, all be it less steeply, with every deck added. Therefore, in a choice between a single deck and multi deck game, always go for the single deck; in a choice between a 6 deck game and an 8 deck game, always go for the 6 deck.

Rules vary from table to table, so the more player-friendly rules a table plays by the better it is for you. Specific rules to look out for are, the surrender rule; double down after splitting pairs; multiple pair splitting; and ace re-splits.

Remember that you’re only opponent is the dealer, so don’t look at anyone else’s hand, it’s not your business and it will distract you from your game.

The rest of the advice I received was basic common sense and money management; don’t bet anything you’re not prepared to loose, set limits, don’t gamble when drunk, you know the type. Anyway, I hope these tips will be as useful to you as they were to me.
