Chevy Rock and Roll 400: The Chase For The Chase

May 1st, 2009

So much for Carl Edwards or Greg Biffle making a run at the Nextel Cup Chase for the Championship. Neither could get close to the lead in California last weekend, so neither will be part of the 10-driver Chase, a fact you’d never have convinced me to believe back in February. After all, weren’t the Roushketeers the best drivers in the business? Apparently not.

Don’t get me wrong; Matt Kenseth is still a cut above. But Mark Martin is hanging on by his fingernails, and could be bumped by Kasey Kahne this weekend, while Edwards, Biffle and Jamie McMurray are officially on the outside looking in. I’ll have a preview of the Chase next weekend, when all 10 slots are iron-clad, but I suppose I ought to offer up a prediction before we get to calling a winner in the Richmond race. Last weekend I said I still thought Kahne would make the Chase, and that he’d supplant Martin, and I’ll stand by that pick. Kahne was the class of the field winning Fontana last Sunday, and Martin isn’t actually in 10th place any longer; Jeff Burton holds that dubious distinction. But when the dust settles late Saturday night, I think Martin will have had enough problems to cause him to miss the Chase. It’s just that kind of year for Roush.

Meanwhile, there’s the race itself. The Evernham team has been strong here the last few years; Jeremy Mayfield (remember way back when he was an Evernham guy?) basically needed a win here in ‘04 to make the Chase, and he got one, and last season Kahne posted his first career win at this track. They call Richmond the short track that drives like a superspeedway, because the front straightaway is much longer than the back, so even though it’s a .75-mile course, cars get up to surprisingly fast speeds heading into Turn 1. Loose is fast at this joint, and traditionally guys who have sprint-track experience tend to excel here. Then again, Dale Earnhardt Jr. has won two of the last five events at this place (including a come-from-behind win here in the spring), and no one’s going to mistake him for a sprint-car guy, so every such rule should be taken with a grain of salt. The track I consider closest to Richmond for comparison purposes is Phoenix; while Phoenix is longer (one mile) and more shallowly banked, setups tend to verge on similarity, and good performers in the desert tend to overlap with good ones in Richmond. All that said, let’s take a look at the best bets in the last ″regular-season″ race of the 2006 Nextel Cup season.

Last Week: Sweet victory. Sort of. I didn’t win the straight-up bet, as Kahne beat the field handily at around 7-1, but I picked Kyle Busch in an upset head-to-head matchup against Burton, and that worked out just fine. So for the week, I finished up 0.61 units (on 1.5 units wagered), which isn’t great, but is officially better than a sharp oil gauge in the eye. For the season that puts me at a profit of 16.62 units, and also gives me my fourth consecutive winning week.

Note: The following odds are very preliminary, and the online books haven’t posted their head-to-head wagers as of Friday evening (ET). I’ll update this article on Saturday morning or afternoon with current odds, and make a H2H pick as well, so please check back.

Take Kevin Harvick (12-1), 1/6th unit. My tendency would be to take a Roush car here, as they were simply awesome at this track in 2005, but I’m through thinking that the Roushketeers’ dominance anywhere last year has much effect in ‘06. Instead, I really like Harvick this weekend. He won Phoenix this spring in fine and dominating fashion, and then probably should’ve won the Richmond race that Dale Earnhardt Jr. (10-1) won this spring, but for some questionable pit strategy. Harvick also dominated this fall Richmond event in ‘05 for the race’s first half, before falling off. Put it all together, and the short-track-trained Harvick goes into the Chase in style, winning his third race of the season.

Take Kyle Busch (8-1), 1/6th unit. The younger Busch’s record in three Richmond starts? Fourth, fourth and fifth. Yeah, I think it’s safe to say he likes this joint. Busch led Happy Hour on Friday afternoon, and considering he won New Hampshire, placed fifth at Martinsville, and has posted a Phoenix win in his short career, the relatively flat tracks are his friend. Like Harvick, Busch isn’t mathematically locked into the Chase, but he’s darn close, and it would take a catastrophic scenario for him to miss the playoffs. As such, I think both he and Harvick will know they’re locked in midway through this race, and will be able to go for a win when it comes down to the wire.

Take Denny Hamlin (15-1), 1/6th unit. Let’s have one for the hometown boy. Hamlin is from Richmond, and cut his teeth on this exact speedway in lesser circuits. He finished second here in the spring, in his first Nextel Cup race at this place, and he, like the two drivers before him on this list, seems like pretty much a mathematical lock for the Chase. This is a slot I had reserved and ready for Earnhardt Jr., but this is a very tough venue to win from the rear, and Junior simply didn’t practice or qualify well (he’ll start 33rd). The last seven Richmond winners, and 10 of the last 11, have started inside the top-10, and that’s what scared me away from Little-E. Hamlin has no such worries; he went out on Friday evening and qualified on the pole. It would be an amazing story, but I do think Hamlin can contend for his first win at home.

European Roulette – Its Easy, Fun, Exciting - Now Learn To Win

May 1st, 2009

There are many casino games, but none of them match Roulette for sheer excitement and outright entertainment.

There however two games European roulette and American.

If you want to win you must play European as the odds are better. Here we will explain how you can bet to win with the best bets.

Why European Roulette Has The Best Odds.

American roulette, wheels have 38 slots with ″0″ and ″00″. The European wheel has 37 slots with just the single ″0″.

With the extra zero in American roulette, the house edge is 5.3%, where as with European roulette; the house is just a 2.7%.

So don't play American roulette when the house edge is almost double – Play European roulette only.

The house advantage can be reduced further by betting correctly in fact in European Roulette lets you bring those odds down to just 1.24% house advantage. As roulette is a game of chance, those odds are not bad.

Winning At European Roulette

Lets first look at a few myths that people believe and think can help them win so lets get them out the way first, before looking at how to win.

Firstly remember none of the Roulette systems work.

Don't be naïve and spend money on Roulette systems, they just don't work!

If you think you can make real money by spending some hundred of dollars on a supposed system, think again!

Why don't they work then? It's simple.

All these systems are based on mathematical formulas.

These formulas are all based on the assumption that past data and presumes that this data can be used to predict a future event.

However in any game of chance you can never know what will happen next, so mathematical systems cannot be applied. This is simple logic.

For example, if red comes up 30 times in a row or 99 times, the odds of the next spin will always be a 50 – 50 chance.

Each spin is unique, and random, so all the past data is worthless.

So can you win at European Roulette then?

Sure you can. Just remember.

The best odds are at European Roulette as we have stated.

There is also a way to reduce those odds ever further.

This is by betting with good odds as well. That means, play bets whose odds are near to their payouts (1:1)

These are the ″even money″ bets. Even mean bets are those of Odd, Even, Low, (numbers 1 through 18), High, (numbers 19 through 36), Red, or Black.

These all pay out odds of 1: 1. Furthermore, you have about a 45% chance of winning each time. There is more good news.

Point 2. With European Roulette's single-zero wheels you can use a "rule" and place a bet called "en prison" (in prison)

It works like this; if you make even money bet it ball comes up 0, you don’t lose your bet. Your bet is then ‘imprisoned’, meaning it has to stay on the table where it is, and wait for the next spin.

Now in case your bet wins, you can pick up your bet and winnings.

Mathematically, the house edge has been cut in half and is just 1.35%. This is by far the best odds of winning for the player.

Its rather boring to just play one bet, so you can use any of the even money bets, all with the same technique.

The other bets have poor odds and seven number bet has terrible odds so avoid them, unless you feel lucky!

European roulette gives you better odds than American roulette and a good chance to win.

Forget buying systems. Follow the guidelines above, and you bring the odds in your favor.

European Roulette is fun, exciting and also has good odds for what is a game of chance.

We wish you Good luck!

How to Play Slots

April 20th, 2009

Slot machines are a mainstay of casino gambling. They seem to have been around for as long as the technology that has existed to make them and that technology has been improving all the time. The original slot machines consisted of a box containing three reels which were set into motion by pulling a handle once money has been deposited. If the reels landed on three matching symbols, you won. Simple as that.

Current slot machines are entirely computerized. The symbols come up on a video screen and the "reels" are set in motion by pushing a button, although some still have a handle that you can pull for that old time slot machine effect. Of course, on the Internet, all you have to do is point and click your mouse to set the reels in motion.

The basics of a slot machine are simple. You put one or more coins in the slot, push the button and hope three matching symbols come up. You can sometimes win if a particular symbol, like a cherry for example, comes up even once and some symbols may double or triple your payout if the other two symbols match. Whatever machine you use will have a chart with the payoffs clearly outlined. In online play, there will be a menu through which you can find out the payoffs.

There are a number of advantages to online slot play. For one, you don't have to worry about carrying your bulky bucket of coin winnings to a change window; you can just transfer them directly to your casino account. For another, there should be posted on the somewhere on the site information about payback. Payback is the amount each slot machine pays out for every dollar it takes in. A slot machine should payback at least 90 percent of every dollar and in some cases more. On the other hand, many people like the flashing lights and live clinking sounds of coins dropping into their tray and generally enjoy the full casino experience of live play. (Live casino tip: the machines with the most payback sit near the entrances to the casino, so potential players walking by can see slot players winning.)

You will often have the option of putting more than one coin into a slot machine at a time. Multiple coins will either multiply your payout when you win, or give you more ways to win (for example, you may see three symbols on each reel and if you match three across, horizontally, or diagonally you win).

When you play slots, be sure you know exactly how your machine is played, what multiple coins will get you and what symbols you need to get paid. If you don't like the payoffs, or the appearance of the machine, move to another one; there is no shortage of different machines out there to play. If you can find out what your machine pays back, do so and always look for paybacks over 90 percent. Good luck!

Oriental Gambling

April 18th, 2009

The tree of gambling is growing and its roots expanding day by day. While few decades before the tree was deemed as a weed and left unattended, in recent years it has received immense attention and nourishment from different countries of the world. This is mainly because of two interrelated reasons- the alarming rate at which the gambling tree is bearing fruits in the form of revenue and the its unfailing involvement with people.

At present gambling is legal in several corners of the world. It is lately declared lawful in some of the Asian countries. As a result new resorts that are open to all are built at these places. For instance the city of Cambodia has come up with the Ho Wah Genting Poipet Casino Resort that bills itself as the Las Vegas of the East. The casino offes all the delightful games such as B6 Baccarat, Mini Baccarat, Blackjack, Casino War etc. In the Indian subcontinent there are six casinos in goa out of which 5 are slots-only establishments. The one full serving casino of this place is an off-shore casino on atwinn engine catamaran, Casino Goa. It is a lifetime experience to visit and play at this floating casino that offers a bar, a swimming pool and a great restaurant featuring a multi-cultural cuisine.

One such similar yet unique experience is at the casinos of hongkong. The reason being the construction of Hong Kong casinos on ships, either in port or as casino cruises. However it seems that water and casinos share a good liaison for the only casino in Laos, the Dan Sa Vanh is located along the Nam Ngum Lake. Besides gambling the other activities at the casino include boating and golf.

Gambling is made legal and so there are around 15 casinos owned and run by ht e government in Philippines. Out of these the Fontana Resort is not for the local people of this place but only for the foreigners.

If you are looking forward to delight in the beauty of snow capped mountains along with playing your favorite games such as Caribbean Stud Poker, Keno, Money Wheel, Pai Gow, Roulette, Blackjack etc., the Genting Highlands, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is just the ideal place to hit. Besides being an acclaimed tourist spot, the Genting Highlands, by virtue of these casinos are quite popular in the gaming world.

Lotteries and lottery related games are quite significant and greatly relished on the land of South Korea. South Koreans have an immense liking for lottery games. This can be well assessed from the fact that South Africans are the pioneers of online gambling, they had introduced in 2002. Along with it a new lottery game which is akin to financial winner, the Sports Toto is a gift to the gambling world by South Korea. But this place is not all about lotteries. There are other forms of gambling too such as horse racing and cycling.

Though legalization of gambling in various corners of the world is at a surge these days, yet gambling should be done within limits. Addiction of gambling is extremely fatal to the life of the gambler and his family.

Slot Machine Games — Background and History

April 18th, 2009

Slot machine games have their modern roots reaching back to the late 19th century with poker machines and the 3-reel Liberty Bell slot machine. Both were the predecessor of video poker games and slot games as we enjoy them today. Even the plums, oranges, bells and bars on slot machine games we see in casinos all over the world can be traced back to that time period. And they began with the effort to sell chewing gum to the public.

Herbert Mills, owner of Mills Novelty, introduced the Liberty Bell Gum Fruit machine that was a gaming device with a gum dispenser attached to it in 1910. Mills had been making gum vending machines since 1898 so the Liberty Bell Gum Fruit machine was a natural transformation for him. The gum flavors that were lemon, orange, plum and spearmint were used as symbols on the reels. The bell, which was the symbol of the highest payout possible on the original Liberty Bell device created by Charles Fey, stayed with this version. The bar symbol was actually a picture of a stick of gum that came out of the packets of gum dispensed by the machine. In that same year, Mills came out with the Operators Bell device, which substituted a cherry cluster for the spearmint symbol. Even though the reel strips for the devices had a copyright by Mills, competitors ″borrowed″ the format. Other manufacturers such as Caille and Watling not only used this format, but added apples, pears, pineapples and strawberries to their versions. Eventually the English branded them as ″fruit machines″. Mills added the watermelon symbol to the reels in 1937.

Reel symbols catch the eye of the player, but why do people play slot machine games at casinos? People enjoy gambling for a number of reasons. For one, many like the fun of gaming regardless of whether they win or lose. Most enjoy this during vacations or on business trips. And winning while playing can’t be discounted because people hope for some monetary gain in the short run at the casino. Plus the excitement of the casino adds to the reasons why people gamble. Sights, sounds, the presence of millions of dollars combined with lavish mega-resorts with exotic themes are in themselves a stimulating environment. Also, relaxation is a good reason as visiting a casino hotel can offer relief from the everyday stresses of life. Guests receive lots of pampering and get away from their daily routines during their stay.

Understanding the needs and motivations of players has stimulated slot machine game manufacturers to keep coming out with new and fresh ideas. Over the years, as technology evolved, so did their results. During the mechanical age (1890’s to 1920’s), the types of games available were variations in regular slot and draw poker machines. Very little did change over the next few decades for slot machine games.

In the 1970’s, Fortune Coin led the change in the landscape of gaming by introducing the first full-color multi-line video slot machines and the first full-color video poker machines to the gaming industry. Solid-state circuitry began to replace the mechanisms of slots and allowed new games to be played. International Game Technology (IGT) soon after purchased Fortune Coin. The level of benefit and success of that acquisition is seen today as thousands of ″Draw Poker″ video machines were placed in casinos and bars throughout Las Vegas and other cities, capitalizing on the popularity of poker machine games that began in the early 1890’s.

The 1980’s saw a move from solid-state circuits to microprocessors, which allowed new directions for games. One was the giant jackpot carousels like the Hilton Hotel’s ″Pot-O-Gold″ which linked machines together and created the opportunity to win million dollar jackpots. In 1986, IGT introduced a statewide ″Megabucks″ progressive slot system in Nevada which combined microprocessor-powered gaming machines with modern communications in order to link gaming machines across the state. This allowed players the chance to win multi-million dollar jackpots. With the 1990’s, the multi-game machine came into being giving the player a choice of playing spinning slot reel games, a number of poker games, keno, and video blackjack on one single machine. Other advancements during this time period include:

  • Multi-hand video poker games like IGT’s ″Triple Play Draw Poker″ which gave the player the chance to play multiple hands of poker in a single play
  • Interactive bonus games which have become standard on video slot games
  • Multi-denominational game play allowing a choice in the amounts wagered per game

Today, gaming manufacturers are continuing to find new ways to heighten the player experience. At the time of this writing, Bally’s has created the ″Hot Shot Progressive″ which takes 5 of their most popular slot games and places mini-versions of them on the machine. When the player gets the bonus round, they can play these mini-versions to have a chance to win up to five progressive jackpots on the same game. WMS Gaming has come up with a ″Powerball″ themed slot game in which a player can win up to 9 jackpots with one spin. And in the Blue Lagoon version of their ″Hot Hot Penny″ slot game, the player can play a free spin bonus that awards free spins at 3x pay, which can be infinitely re-triggered. Plus in the Hot Hot Penny mode, the bonus frequency increases by over 2x by re-spinning all non-bonus symbol reels along with receiving additional free spins in the form of bonus picks from 3 to 36 additional spins. These are examples of how slot machine games and their creators will continue an exciting legacy of innovation and creativity, giving players new reasons to come back for more.

The Best Online Slot Machines Around

April 17th, 2009

Slot machines have always been stalwarts of casinos. This is because it is a game for people who just don't want to think much and just want to drop coins and pull a lever. That's why slot machines also became stalwarts of online casinos. Here are what we consider to be the best online slot machines you can find and play. Note: this information changes often. What could be a great game could disappear by tomorrow!

Best Online Classic Slots:

Safecracker is the best among all the classic slots out there. This is because it gives the person a higher jackpot of 20,000 coins. The range of the bet is a quarter to 5 dollars. The maximum you could play is 3 coins per spin. In a single spin the amount hat can be won is $5000 and $20,000 for three spins. It also offers mid range payouts.

High 5 is a classic 3 wheel slot machine that has 1 pay line. Your winnings are multiplied depending on the number of high 5 symbols you get. Get one and your winning is multiplied by 5 times, get tow and it is multiplied 25 times. The coins that can be used can be from a quarter to 5 dollars. You have a choice of betting 1 to 3 coins per spin. The top jackpot is 15,000 coins.

Best Online Multi Line Slots:

Flower power may sound all girly because it offers winning up to 1000 coins only. However, the logic here is that the lower the coin purses the more chances you'll be winning. You will be able to hit a lot of winning combinations because it has more than one pay line.

Best Online 5 Reel Slots:

Thunderstruck may sound like something form an adult movie but it's one of the best 5 reel slots out there. This is because it offers a unique bonus feature (I'm not talking about the XXX features). With this slot, it is possible to get a free spin bonus round that has 3 times multiplier. This slot machine has 5 reels and 9 pay lines.

The minimum coins needed are only 1 cent up to a dollar range. You can play 5 coins per line. If you are able to hit more than 3 scattered rams you are given 15 free spins. If you hit the rams again while playing your free spin, you'll be able to get free spins again. This makes your total free spins 30. All wins on free games are actually tripled.

If you hit a wild Thor your winnings can be multiplied 6 times. This can make potential winnings reach $150,000. Then you can also click the gamble button to double or quadruple your wins.

Best Online Bonus Feature Slots:

Lucky Charmer has a second screen bonus feature that makes it fun to play. You will choose between 3 musical pipes and the charmer plays your choice if you are able to reach the bonus round. The object that rises out of the baskets will be the one to determine your winnings. To be able to activate the feature round you must be able to hit the King Cobra at the third pay line.

Best Online Progressive Jackpot Slots:

Major Millions is a three reel and three pay lines that can give you winnings amounting to $250,000. However the jackpot can be reached only if you bet $3 per spin.

Rags to Riches looks like the Wheel of Fortune. There will be 3 symbols of rags to riches to start the jackpot wheel. The minimum amount to be won is $100,000. The amount needed to bet per spin is $3.

Enjoy the slots!

Online Video Poker Gambling

April 15th, 2009

Online Video Poker Gambling has become very popular with the masses and almost all the real life casinos are making entry into this online business of poker gambling. Online Video Poker Gambling brings about more comforts along with it, like one can play the online poker and gamble for it while sitting on his bed, sipping a coffee! The Online Video Poker Gambling has fast become an accepted online gambling game, which consists of a basic poker game and a slot machine to gamble. Here are some of the basic rules that are followed while playing Online Video Poker Gambling. However, this online game is much more different than one played at the casinos.

The online video poker gambling has five cards from a deck for each player and a player can put off one or more cards that he has and can also replace them with others. After the draw has been clicked, the cards the players get this time will be the final pack for them. If the final hand is good enough, you win the pot. However, this type of play is fine with players who want to check their guesses with the slot machine. This requires a lot of skill on the part of the player. One can surely win many times if he is very well experienced with online video poker gambling and of course his guesses!

The online video poker gambling allows a player to select the cards, which means that the chances of winning are much higher as the issue of holding and retaining cards lies wholly with the player. Although both video poker and slot machines are housed in the metal cabinet with coins slots, the two games are almost poles apart. While slot machine winnings depend solely on chance and luck, Online Video Poker Gambling games involve a lot of thinking skills as well as familiarity with the game.

In the game of online video poker gambling, bluffers just cannot bluff any more, simple the reason that there are no opponents. The player is playing with a computer as an opponent, which of course know what you hand is. With video poker, it is the strength of the hand combination that you have created that will determine how many times you win the chances.

Of course, there are different hand combinations every time in this online video poker gambling, you will get the hang of it sure enough.
