The History of Gambling

Mon, 15 Nov 2010 13:26:09 +0000

Archeologists were the first ones to find evidence of gambling behaviors in actual cavemen when they recovered dice-like objects that dated back over 41000 years ago that were made up animal bones. They also found cave paintings that depicted our ancestors performing gambling like behaviors. They even found pairs of dice that dated back to the Roman Empire. In fact during a period in Roman times it was required for parents to have their kids learn how to gamble. If this law were passed during modern times parents would be at an uproar over it, so in this aspect The roman empire was very liberal. In fact it was purported that ancient Roman soldiers actually gambled for the robes of Jesus.
Evidence of gambling was even found over 4000 years ago in the chinese culture. Their game of chance was developed by using actual riles. The ancient Greeks were the most perplexing when it came to their gambling behaviors. Although Greek soldiers loved to gamble with dice games, Greek society for some reason made gambling illegal. For a very liberal society as the Greeks this behavior always puzzled me.
As far as American gambling history the first gambling establishments back in early American times were called saloons. These saloons were not only important as hot gambling spots but they were a great place where weary travelers coming from all over the country could meet and make friends. In essence these saloons had started to become social areas where people could make long lasting bonds and associations for life. During the early part of the 20th century the American government for some reason felt that gambling should be banned so they made it so by passing a series of laws. In 1931 however, the government decided to make a compromise on this by making gambling legal in 2 states: Nevada and New Jersey. This is how these 2 states became famous gambling hubs with Atlantic City and Las Vegas leading the way.

Roulette Gambling System – Twisted Statistics

Thu, 21 Oct 2010 19:22:52 +0000

Ever since I was a young student I have loved casinos – I love the glitz and glamor. Every face tells a story in these places and I imagine everyone is fantastically rich. Of course the truth is probably a very different story. My friend recently announced he’d found a roulette gambling system that would make lots of money in casinos but I had to stop him before he set off for Monte Carlo with his building society savings.
What my friend had discovered was called the ‘Monte Carlo’ or ‘Gamblers’ fallacy – I think you can notice the pertinent part of the name. This incredible roulette gambling system is based on the false premise that if you witness a series of deviations from the mean that these deviations will be balanced out by opposite deviations. So to put that into English if you watch a roulette game and notice that a red number comes up five times on a row then it becomes more statistically likely that black will come up on the next spin.
This of course makes sense logically (as something you might expect or be ‘due’) but mathematically it is incorrect. Each spin is an independent event and all previous spins have no bearing on the next spin. This mathematical fallacy is also the basis of another much touted roulette gambling system called the Martingale system. I’m sure anyone who has ever been to a casino has heard this one – you put your stake on say a red number coming up and then if you fail you keep doubling your stake until you win.

Roulette a Game For The Ages

Sat, 20 Mar 2010 17:32:02 +0000

There are two main versions of the game and the version depends on whether there is a single zero or double zero on the layout. Roulette has been a staple of many movies when they wanted to show an elegant gambling scene or some tense face off.

The play of roulette is very simple.You buy in for a dollar amount and the dealer gives you colored chips, which denote your level of bet and identify the bet as your bet. You can play any number of bets on a roulette layout. If you bet a single number between one and thirty-six, or the single zero or the double zero and the number comes up by the white ball landing in that space on the wheel you will be paid 35 to 1 on your bet. You can bet on as many single numbers as you want to or choose from one of the many other bets that a player can make. You can bet on the ball landing in a slot that is red or black, odd or even and the first 18 numbers or the last 18 numbers. All of these bets pay even money as there is a 50/50 chance. There are many combination bets a player can lay such a line of numbers or a column of numbers. Another popular bet is a section of the numbers like four adjoining numbers or a section of the layout of numbers. The number of numbers covered determines the payoffs.

Mathematicians trying to find a winning system have calculated the probabilities of the roulette ball in great detail.So far no system has been found that is foolproof nevertheless this doesn’t seem to stop people inventing new ones. The only system that has some merit is a slow progressive bet after a number or colour has not shown up for a while. Some say after 16 successive non-shows. However, when playing you should all ways remember there are no guarantees as it is purely a game of luck.

Roulette has forever been a incredibly popular casino game and is one of the higher house percentage games compared with blackjack and dice. It is entertaining to play and watch and a good game to relax at while you have a couple of drinks.

Serious roulette players all have systems they swear by, but you would be wise to save your money and not pay money for any of the systems you might see. They all work if you are having a lucky day and they do not work if the luck is not with you.

Casino Games. How Professional Black Jack

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 15:57:04 +0000

However it was their publication in the American Journal of the American Statistical Association causing much excitement among both gamblers and statisticians, and blackjack was considered a game a common player might probably win. Encouraged by popularity of the article in the magazine, copied and learnt by heart by many players, the originators published a book “Winning Blackjack“. Nowadays this book is a scarce edition and it enriches the home library of many professional gamblers.

In 1962 Edward Thorp this time using computer technologies calculate and published in his book Beat The Dealer not only the basic strategy of playing but also card counting. Thorp states that blackjack differs from roulette, craps and other games of luck, the result of every hand in blackjack depends on the previous dealing – it really matters which cards drew back form the game and which remained in the pack. Most of the stuff calculated by Thorp is still precise, but all the serious modern gamblers should read this book only for historical interest.

Thorp’s system called “10 count system” was meant for one pack game which enjoyed great success in all casinos of Nevada. It was extremely difficult for learning, so most of the gamblers gave it up. However, Nevada’s casinos restricted some rules, for example, doubling down only on 11 points. The media told the whole world about it, and Thorp with his book became known all over the world and the casinos that showed themselves to disadvantage had to return former rules. Realizing that under such circumstances crowds card counters would be trying to beat the house, operators of gambling houses introduced two procedures – shuffling after withdrawal of the trim card and multi-packed games.

Thorp’s systems was very difficult to use in practice. But for the computer conference in Las Vegas in 1963, the game would remain on the same level. On a whim, the conference organizers decided to include a Panel Session on “Using Computers in Games of Chance and Skill.” It was just a whim of the organizers to include a section “Using computers in games of chance and skill”. Thorp was designated as Chairman of the Panel and experts on the various casino games, including blackjack, roulette and baccarat.

Safer Casino Gambling For All

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 14:09:31 +0000

We are all aware about the risks that we are taking when it comes to Casino Gambling. There’s the probability that we will lose money, and all the succeeding consequences resulting from that. But the most basic of all the considerations a gambler would have to note is the security of the casino where they would be betting their money.

Going casino gambling involves a lot of security issues, aside from entrusting your money to the cashier. Most casinos, if not all, would require that you give them your name, address, credit card numbers, and other private information. We are all aware that these things could be used by some people to wreak havoc into our lives.

But in all fairness to the casinos, they have proven that the security features they employ makes their customers and visitors feel safer than ever to go casino gambling. There are several innovations that have been made. Most casinos have set-up video cameras to monitor each and every movement around a particular game table. This is of course accompanied by a team of surveillance personnel that constantly keeps their eyes focused on any mischievous actions from both the staff and customers. On-floor security officers are always on the look out for trouble. This also includes officers in civilian clothes.

Now, since we all know that online casino gambling is becoming a popular alternative to the traditional physical casino in Nevada, it is reasonable to ask about security issues regarding online gambling.

Some of the security issues facing people who go online casino gambling is, of course, the issue of whether their identities would remain a secret. This is one of the major concerns for online gamblers. Just like in the land-based casino, before you could enter a site offering online gambling, certain information would be needed in order for you to play. Information that are basically the same as the ones that they ask for in the Bellagio or Caesar’s Palace. Since we all know that these information may be used by spammers, at the very least, we should take note of whether a site’s security firewall is encrypted with at least a 128-bit SSL. The higher the bit of the encryption, the safer of course. This would ensure players that the site they are playing in is not vulnerable to hackers who want to steal credit card information and the like.

The next security issue that players must be aware of are the privacy policies employed by the web site they are playing at. Before a gambler should decide to enter a site, the privacy policy of that site should first be read. One has to make sure that all the text are easy to understand. Also, the policy should not contain any ambiguities. Although some policies may take a little of your time to read, doing so carefully, and looking for probable loopholes would ensure that your online casino gambling would be safer.

Finally, to ensure that the interests of both parties will be guaranteed, try to search for a site that offers a record of financial transactions before going casino gambling on that site. This would minimize the occurrence of problems that might potentially arise while playing online casino gambling.

1. Avoid confrontation with your opponent

Let us say that a player has an average amount of poker chips. The player is happy to earn big money and hopes to advance his level and earn the 3rd or 4th place in an online poker tournament.

A player will not have to risk everything he has. A player can easily accomplish and get to the high level if he will avoid confrontations and stay away from the action.

But several experiences from the online poker tournament games revealed that one or more players are usually knocked out of the final table with only about a few hands of the poker game.

A player or gambler has only two choices when playing poker in an online poker tournament. Either be passive or be active. In this case, when a player is passive, he has to maintain his passivity and wait during the course of the poker game before unleashing his action against his opponent.

Position In Blackjack

Position when you play Blackjack is really important as the game’s planning and tactics hugely depend on the opponents’ acts rather than on favorable combination of cards alone. The fact is that the last player to act is in an advantageous position as compared to the other players.

The final hand of a round makes the position even more important as the last player to act can make strategic planning to win at the final table. Players use different tactics, for example many blackjack players just try to calculate in mind the whereabouts of the dealer chip at the final table by controlling the quantity of the players at the table and counting position of the dealer button for each particular hand.

Depending on such calculations, players may act differently if they know exactly that they will be last to act at the final table.

France Want Online Gambling

Fri, 06 Mar 2009 19:38:41 +0000

France announced plans to open up their online gambling market.

75% of the gambling sites in France are considered illegal. France is bringing in a ton of money,but still missing out on a lot of it.

France’s new proposal is to let their citizens play at whatever gambling sites they wish, but to tax them on their play. The new plan is to take a 7.5% tax on sports bets or horse bets, and a 2% tax on poker bets. This should bring in billions of Euros in additional revenue, and will also make France’s gamblers happier.

The proposal is set to go before the cabinet at the end of the month, and everyone expects that it will go through. There has been pressure from the European Union on France to open up their gambling market, and we expect that pressure will be enough for the cabinet to quickly hustle the proposal through, and get it into action for 2010.
