Here Is More Good News in the Effort to Legalize

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Here is more good news in the effort to legalize online poker around the world.

The French National Assembly approved, by a count of 302-206, the bill to liberalize and regulate online gaming (including online poker) in France. The bill now passes on to the Senate for further debate.

The bill would end the domination of online gambling by France’s two state monopolies: Pari-Mutuel Urbain (PMU) for horse racing, and Francais des Jeux for lotteries and other games, and allow privately owned websites to offer casino online, and betting on sports and horse racing. Under the proposed law, state-owned Francaise des Jeux would still retain its monopoly over Lotto. Also. bets on games considered too addictive and lacking in an element of skill, like one-armed bandits, would not be allowed.

Eric Woerth, the budget minister who was the architect of the bill, has said the state made over 5 billion euros (4.6 billion pounds) per year from gambling on the internet, at licensed cafes and at the racing tracks.

For years, France has been under pressure from the European Union and from private gaming firms and European gaming associations to open up their market worth billions of euros to competition.

Chips Are Real Money

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

There are a few things that we , as regular online poker players, tend to forget. One of these things is the idea that online poker chips actually represent real money. We all know that on a conceptual level the chips represent the hours that we toil away at our nine to five jobs doing what we need to do to fund our game, but do you ever really stop to think about that in the heat of the moment? This would be an apt moment to bring up televised poker online shows that have gotten us to think in terms of large chip stacks, or online poker games that convert our cash to something that we never even get to hold, but it is not enough to blame others for our lack of consideration for the humble chip. Next time you play poker, whether you play a digital game or one on a classic green felt, think about the meaning of those chips before you through them into the pot. Would you be as willing to go all-in if you realized the purchasing power of those chips. The stack that you are so willing to waste on a bluff could be a fine dining experience, a trip to the movies, or that long coveted flat screen television.

Four "Do’s" and "Don’ts" when Adding "Odds" Games to Your Bingo Program

Friday, February 5th, 2010

If you’ve decided to add some “Odds” games to your bingo program, below are a few “Do’s” and “Don’ts” to consider before you begin.

DO make sure you consult a bingo odds chart before you try anything too tricky.

A bingo odds chart will break down all of the statistics and probabilities for you. Want to know how many numbers on average it will take to bingo with a letter “X” pattern with 100 people playing 12 bingo cards each? An odds chart will break this down for you, as well as, most other commonly played bingo patterns.

Odds charts can be difficult to find, so if you’d like some help, contact Wholesale Bingo Supplies and talk to one of our bingo experts.

DON’T make the “odds” game prizes impossible to win.

Bingo players will usually have a feel for how long it will take a person to bingo on their bingo paper on a given pattern, so don’t make your “odds” games impossible to win. For instance, don’t offer a prize on a bingo coverall if a player wins in 30 numbers or less, because no one will ever win that and your players will know that. If you make the chances of winning too extreme, your players will become disenchanted. Even long shots should hit every now and then, even if it’s only once a year.

DO pay attention to your state’s or region’s maximum legal prize payouts.

However, unlikely, it is possible for a number of “odds” games to pay off during a single bingo session. Make sure that a lucky day for your bingo players doesn’t turn into an unlucky day and a rules violation for your bingo. Be sure that your bingo program has no chance to exceed your legal prize payout maximum.

DON’T go crazy trying these games

Our advice with most bingo programs is to go slowly and make some small changes first. Test the waters a little before changing up your game entirely. You want to give yourself some wiggle room in case further changes come to mind.

Getting Lucky with Rediculous Hands

Monday, September 21st, 2009

Sometimes at the poker online table, when things aren’t going your way and it seems like nothing you do is working at the casino, you get desperate and make some stupid move. And occasionally, miraculously, that move pays off. I was playing recently, at a famous, well-known casino on the east coast of the United States. It was one of the worst sessions I can remember having. It started off okay, I won two pots with timely bluffs, but after that everything went downhill. None of my bluffs were working; I tried playing good hands, bad hands, raising our of position to confuse people, anything really, and it wasn’t working. It was quite frustrating. So, at one point I decided I wasn’t going to see my chips stack whittled away slowly, I and was just going to go for it. I decided that the next person who raised, I was going to re raise them all in without even looking at my hand. I know, it sounds incredibly dumb, and it probably is. But at the time I was thinking, you know what nothing else is working so I might as well go for blind luck. So the next hand someone raised in front of me, and I reraised all in. I turned over my cards and was dismayed to see a 2-8. Oh well, I thought, today isn’t my day. To make matters worse, my opponent, who called for some reason, had a 10-8! Why would he call my reraise with a 10-8?? Well, it didn’t matter, he did. Anyway, all of us at the poker table had a big chuckles when the flop came 8-2-J. The turn and river were blanks and my ridiculous hand had held up. Like I always say, it’s better to be lucky than good.

The Physical Poker Advantage of Tells

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

Probably the biggest difference in strategy between playing online poker and playing at a physical poker table is the presence of tells.

In online poker, you can’t spot a tell even if you are the greatest mentalist in the world, because you can’t see your opponent. They be pumping their fists begging you to call, or pleading at the computer screen begging you not to call.

With online poker, you have to bring all your knowledge about strategy and game theory to be successful; playing in a casino, you need all that and a little bit of understanding about human psychology.

While I think tells are overrated to some degree, there are usually no magic “tell all” tells like the movies make it out to be, but knowing how human beings generally sit or shift or twitch when they are in positions of power or weakness is helpful.

To that end, there is a seminar devoted to spotting physical tells during the World Series of Poker Academy seminar Nov. 7 and 8 at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas. The instructional camp, incidentally, precedes the final table of the 2008 World Series main event set for Nov. 9 and 10. One of the tips, according to a former FBI agent giving a lecture who was quoted in newspaper article, is if someone reclines in their seat and splays their limbs out after pushing all in. It’s what is called a “territorial display” and what we do when we’re strong.

Interesting stuff, and I’d be curious to learn what other tips are taught at the event.
