If you can play blackjack successfully, you have the skills to play in a higher stakes game where the rewards can be millions of dollars!

If you play blackjack successfully you have EXACT skills required for this game and you will then play with a much greater edge on your side.

Blair Hull was a good blackjack player and well known for making big profits.

He changed “games” and started to win huge profits.

He used his skills to turn $25,000 into $500,000 in just 3 years!

He then started with $1 million in his own financial company in 1985, and by 1991 had $90 million!

So what was he Playing?

He traded financial markets using his skills. He had no experience when he started but learned quickly and never looked back.

If you’ve never considered financial trading then consider the following:

Everything about trading financial markets can be learned.

Many of the world’s best traders came to financial trading after playing blackjack and poker successfully as they transferred the skills they already had and simply piled up bigger profits.

When you play blackjack you use a system and then place bigger bets when the odds are on your side and it’s the same in financial trading and bet properly.

In gambling, most players don’t win because they don’t have a system that can do this and they trade by “shooting from the hip” rather than using an odds based system.

And it’s the same in trading.

Traders just like gamblers are ruled by fear and greed and this causes their downfall.

Trading can be learned by anyone

In 1984, Richard Dennis conducted to convince his partner traders where not born they were made.

The experiment taught 14 people from diverse backgrounds a trading system and it took just 2 weeks.

They were then told to apply the system and made huge gains straight off the bat, with many going on to become trading legends.

Why are blackjack playing skills useful?

If you play blackjack you have a non-emotional disciplined approach and that’s exactly what you need in trading.

To win you play the odds with no emotion and have the discipline to follow a system.

The key difference is:

The rewards are much higher.

Take a look at the checklist below:

• Play with discipline

• Use money management

• Play with confidence

• Don’t get emotional

• A focus on the odds above all else

* You are playing to win above all else

If you agree with the above statements and recognize their significance then you can become a financial trader and play for higher stakes in one of the most exciting and lucrative “games” around.

Think about it.

Shouldn’t you be playing for higher stakes with the skills you have.

Remember:

Everything about trading can be learned, other blackjack players have made millions, so why not take a closer look at this idea for yourself and see how much you could make!

As you’re wandering around this site, then I bet you’re interested in some gambling. Maybe poker? However, before making your first deposit to the casino of your choice, you do need to think about many aspects of this game.

We all have played poker with friends when we were just little kids, right? I have, I admit that. It was fun. Every player was dealt first 3 cards and then two more cards. And between the deals everyone could raise and call and check and…yeah, it was fun. Independent of whether you played for small coins or for bananas. At least that’s how the play was for me. However, the usual Casino poker – Texas Hold’em is something a bit different. So if you’re not aware of it, be sure to get introduced.

First, before you even see any cards, you can decide whether you want to play this hand or not or maybe you want to raise the initial amount that you put into the game. After that 3 cards are put on the table and the checking, raising, folding, etc takes place again. Then there comes the fourth card and then the fifth. And there’s often some stupid guy (or smart guy) who raises to ALL-IN. Then you have two choices. You can do the same or fold – of course, if you’re folding, you will lose all the money you have previously put into this game. If you go ALL-IN, you do have to be sure you actually have something. And by something I don’t mean two 2’s. You need to have something more than that. For a longer explanation about which cards you should play with, etc, you can read a longer article at gamblingdudes.com - Which Cards Should I play?

Okay, now that you have the basics, you need to set yourself limits. Have you heard about a thing such as gambling addiction? It’s not a myth that gambling is addictive, it isn’t. So now you need to think - am I able to control myself with all the adrenalin in my brain when I have 2 aces and someone puts ALL-IN? In most cases, you shouldn’t go all-in, especially with no cards on the table yet. So before you actually start to gamble for money, you need to learn to play bit. Even though I have written this article to sound as easy as possible, there are certain terms that you need to learn. As a next thing you need to set yourself limits. How much can you afford to lose? How much can you afford to lose today? And once you have put that on paper (or saved it into your mind), stick to it! You can win big in poker, but you can lose even more.

As a next thing you also need to think about which tables you should play on? What is the maximum bet you can survive? One thing is that in higher tables the players are stronger. But that’s just one side of the coin. To make it possible for you to play and actually enjoy it without running out of money, you should have 100x minimum bet. So if you’re playing in a table with minimum bet of $1, then you need to have at least $100 in your account. Though this is really the minimum.

Okay, here are the main thing you should have learned from this article once again:

* Know the game

* Know your cards

* Know the terms

* Know your limits

* Stick to it!

It seems like a dream or a fantasy. Can you really bet on both sides of a sports contest and come out a winner? How about a big winner? The answer is a surprising yes. It’s something that is not talked about too much, but it exists. This article is going to explain how you can win at sports betting by betting both sides of an NBA game. The concept is very easy to follow and you will be able to go out and use it in just a minute or two from now. Are you ready? Here we go.

Line Movements & the Basics

The concept is based off the fact that the NBA line normally moves up and/or down with each NBA game. For example, a team might open as a 2 point favorite and close as a 2 point favorite, but during the day, the team might have been up to a 5 point favorite. The totals line in the NBA is always full of movement. A game might open at 192 and close at 196. Line movements on the totals line of 3-4 points are a normal occurrence.

To perform this sports betting maneuver, you are going to bet each side at different times. Not all games are viable options for this strategy, because not all games have movements. As mentioned before, the totals line moves for most games. There are four main rules to follow:

If you bet the favorite, you need to bet the underdog when the line goes up.

If you bet the underdog, you need to bet the favorite when the line goes down.

If you bet the over, you need to bet the under when the line goes up.

If you bet the under, you need to bet the over when the line goes down.

Now that we have the general rules and concepts in place, let’s look at an actual NBA totals example.

Betting Example

Our example consists of the Miami Heat, who is a 3 point favorite, playing at home against the N.Y. Knicks. The over/under for the game is at 168 and the line just opened. You will be making $110 wagers—since it’s easy, mathematically, to see how things work.

You make an initial bet on the OVER 168 for the game for $110. Through monitoring the line off and on during the day, you notice the line has moved to 173. You decide that a 5 point swing is good enough and make a $110 on the UNDER of 173. You now have two tickets in play and here are the possible outcomes.

The game can end at 169 or 174. This is a push and you only lose your vig on one ticket.

The game can end at/over 174 or at/under 167. This is a push and you only lose your vig on one ticket.

The game can end at 168 or 173. You pushed one ticket and won the other. You have won $90. ($100 minus vig)

The game can end at 169,170,171 or 172. You win both tickets and receive $190.

In our example, the worst that can happen is you lose $10. The best-case scenario has you winning $190, which is 19 times your risk.

The Catch

So what’s the catch? You need to know which way the line is going to move and if it will move at all. Let’s say you bet that OVER 168 and the line did not move. You are now playing the OVER 168. If you like this bet, there’s no problem at all. However, if you bet just hoping it would move, you now have a bet you don’t care for.

Next time you make a NBA basketball bet, pay attention to the line moves. You just might find a way to capitalize on it without risking much.

Outright Odds: 300/1

Group A Winners: 9/1

Ecuador qualified for their second World Cup finals in succession on the back of a remarkable home record which included victories over both Brazil and Argentina. So should punters rush out and lump on the huge 3001/ (Bet365) odds available for the largest upset in World Cup history? In short, no.

Ecuador qualified with one of the most lopsided qualifying record of any team competing in Germany this summer. Quito, the country’s capital, stands 2,850 metres above sea level and assisted by the thin air, Ecuador were almost unstoppable at home. They won seven out nine home games, including victories against the South American giants with the other two results goalless draws against Peru and Uruguay.

Away from home it was an entirely different story. Five defeats, two draws and one victory in the equally high altitude of Bolivia was perhaps a more realistic measure of their capabilities but overall they sealed third place in the group.

Ecuador will have to improve on their travels if they want to avoid humiliation in Germany. Their stint in the 2002 World Cup was their first but they have the victory over the third-placed team of 1998, Croatia, to draw inspiration from.

Potentially, they could be a tough team to break down in defence. Captain Ivan Hurtado, a 31-year old veteran with nearly 130 caps to his name is partnered by Giovany Espinoza who was the only player in South America to play in all 18 qualifying matches. For all this experience, the defence can be caught flat and, if Espinoza is taken out of the reckoning, is all over the place when high balls are played in the box. They are also weak in terms of goalkeeping.

Ecuador have moved away from the short-passing through the middle which has categorised their game in favour of striking quickly down the wings. In Edison Mendez, who scored the winning goal against Croatia and five goals in qualifying, they have a player who can cause problems. There are also high hopes surrounding Luis Antonio Valencia, 20, who chipped in with another three.

Former Southampton flop Augustin Delgado is Ecuador’s main focal point in attack. He netted five times in qualifying and scored his country’s first ever World Cup goal, taking the lead after five minutes against Mexico in a match they eventually lost 2-1.

Ecuador’s lack of experience in Europe could prove to be their downfall as they have only played three full internationals on the continent and they looked completely overawed when playing Italy four years ago. They will do well not to finish bottom of the group.

Recommended Bet:

Ecuador’s lack of experience in Europe and dire away form means they cannot be backed with any confidence apart from finishing bottom of the group. Look out for potentially tasty odds on them suffering a “shock” defeat against Costa Rica and consider them to finish bottom of Group A.

Costa Rica to beat Ecuador @ 2/1

Over the years, poker became very popular and the boom of online poker has added fuel to the fire. Also the need for poker books increased, so many have been written so far, some good and some not so good. But they all teach you one thing more than they should: they teach you how to play tight and tighter than others. Although being tight is good sometimes and discipline and honest play is important, when all you do is play tight then it is obvious that you will immediately be spotted an all the others will being to fear and respect you and your hands, therefore when you do have a winning hand you won’t be able to win too much because no one calls your bets.

When you are so tight and you enter a loose game, where players play mostly for fun, then you have a problem. They will spot you game and even if you play it by the book, you won’t be able to win your pots. They might be playing for fun but still they want to play as much as they can for the money paid and that is why they will stay clear from your big hands. If they see you one time as a rock, then it is difficult to win hands with a big value.

When calling someone a rock in poker it means that player is conservative and tight to the extreme, he plays only the best hands and his reactions and actions are always accurate to the hand he is holding. On the other extreme of poker player stands the player referred to as the fish, a player that is mostly inexperienced and plays bad hands, losing most of times. The idea is not to stop hunting good hands or to play bad one, the idea is that you should take notice of your game style and if you see you are too tight to correct it. Not because you are missing some good hands that can hit, but because you are missing a lot of big pots. When seen as a rock at the poker table, you are risking the worst thing of all: you are risking to play in such a way that even the bad player know how to play against you and don’t loose. This is what becomes of a poker rock and it can be the most unpleasant thing, even more unpleasant then losing a big bet with a not so good hand.

After a hand is completed in online poker you’ll never find me showing my cards, win or lose, to the rest of the table. I always muck. In fact my settings are pre-selected to “always muck”. You pay to see my cards, and if I’ve lost a hand online there can be no reason to show my beaten hand. But now I ask myself if this is the best strategy? Because there are times in poker when it pays to show. That’s certainly true in live-game poker, but what about the online variety, which is a very different animal? Let’s look at this in more detail, especially as it pertains to online poker.

There are three very good reasons to show your hand when you have won a pot. The first is to create confusion in the minds of your foes. The second is to provide disingenuous information. The third reason is to get under everyone’s skin, and hopefully push some poor rube over the edge and on tilt. An example is when you win a hand with a stone bluff. You advertise those rags. Players are wondering how you could stay in with such slop, never mind bet, raise, or re-raise. Players might wonder out loud, and even get slightly miffed. All the better.

There are times when you want to show only one of your hole cards, something you cannot do on any of the online poker rooms, at least not to my knowledge (as yet - note to poker software developers: add that functionality, namely “show one hole card only”. It could be to online poker what the double-click was to computers, and if there are any royalties you know where to find me.) So this is a tactic of misinformation that only works in a live-game, and it can work very well.

Showing your cards can also be a forward-thinking strategy at your local card room in that it helps to create a table persona for you. Players now think you play very loose based on that bluff, and next time you come out firing it will be tough for them to put you on any hand. This is advisable if you’re about to spend a long session facing a mostly unchanging table.

Now for the cons of showing your cards online. First of all the value of a table persona is diminished in online poker because of the incredibly high rate of player turnover. You’re advertising for people who won’t be there in five minutes time, let alone five hours time, and who probably are not paying attention in any case. The fact is that in a number of online games the only players who will notice your hand are those still in the pot. The others have run to the kitchen before the cards are in the air for the next hand. Showing your cards online frequently looks like inexperience and nothing more.

I think a good player gains a lot by seeing other player’s cards at the conclusion of a hand, and my advice to rookies or even intermediate online players is to never show unless you are compelled. The good players already have an edge over you - why give them an even bigger advantage? There is no greater sign of weakness then when a beaten player still feels the urge to show the table his second-best hand. Your K9 outkicked by a KA? Don’t show me that in the misguided hope that I’ll feel sympathy for your plight. All I’ll feel is delight that you handed me a glaring weakness in your game, and the next time you play with a weak kicker like that pathetic 9 I’ll be right there to pick up the pieces.

Some people just aren’t satisfied with normal, everyday experiences. They must explore the “ultimate” in every aspect of life, no matter how dangerous. Do you know the type? When they go out to get some sushi, for example, they insist upon ordering the blowfish despite the fact that, a.) every wall in the restaurant contains a sign stating in large block letters (in four languages) that the blowfish can be fatally poisonous if there is the slightest error in its preparation, b.) The waiter makes you sign a legal waiver before ordering the blowfish, and, c.) A woman at the next table is being carried out on a stretcher, a partially eaten order of blowfish sitting on her plate. Despite all these warning signs, some people just insist on ordering the blowfish.

If you are one such adrenaline junky (or if you just live with one) the only place you want to go for some online poker is Ultimate Bet.com. The name of this site says it all. This is not an online poker room designed to cater to the timid, the cautious or the prudent. It’s all or nothing at Ultimate Bet, and that fearless spirit is represented in everything from the game selection to the great bonuses offered here. Ultimate Bet is part of the Excapsa network, one of the world’s premiere poker networks. These folks really know what they are doing.

There are many ways to bet on sporting events, whether online or at a land-based casino. Some betting methods are simple and straightforward, others are more complex, some even exotic so to speak. However, a newcomer to sports betting must understand betting structure before risking any money. The basic, or most common bets are as follows:

THE STRAIGHT BET:

A straight bet can be a wager on one of two opponents in let’s say a tennis or boxing match. This is commonly known as a fixed odds bet, meaning a bet in which the odds are fixed when the bet is placed.

MONEY LINE:

In money line betting the bettor takes odds for betting on the underdog, and gives odds for taking the favorite. Money line is actually a straight bet, since you are risking more to win less, or vice-versa, depending on whether your bet is on the favorite or underdog.

As an example, if the money line favors the New York Yankees, since they figure to win over a weaker team, and the money line is $200, you would need to bet the money line, to win $100. The reverse would be true if you bet on the weaker team; betting $100 to win $200, for instance.

OVER/UNDER:

Over/Under is a popular way to bet on a game if you are not confident in picking a particular winner, because in Over/Under you are betting on whether the final score will be over or under in accordance with the odds predicted prior to the game. In other words, the winning bet is predicated on the combined scores, or total points scored by both teams. Example: The Over/Under in a game is set at 55. Over bettors can win if they bet at least 56, and under bettors collect if they bet no higher than 54.

THE PARLAY:

This is a tough one, but the lure is the payoff, which can range from large to HUGE. A parlay, popular at horse and dog racing tracks, means that you must pick exact winners in a series of events. As an example, picking the winners of the first, second and third races at the horse track, or a three team parlay bet in which you must wager that each of these teams will beat, (or not beat), the spread. If even one of the horses or only one of the teams fail, you lose. Two out of three do not count.

THE PROPOSITION - OR PROP BET:

Not as popular, nor as common as the bets previously noted, the proposition, or prop bet is a wager on a particular aspect of a sporting event. For example, betting on which player will score first, how many completions a quarterback will make, or how many strikeouts a pitcher will get.

Finally, the key to being a successful online sports bettor is doing your homework. In other words not just understanding the mechanics of wagering, but know the sport you are betting on. Understand why the odds are set on a particular boxer, horse or team Know this and you will increase your chances of successful online sports wagering dramatically.
