			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If youre like me then you probably enjoy playing the lottery but are still waiting for the big win.  You may even be disappointed you dont seem to get very many of those little wins either.</p>
<p>I used to be one of those disappointed every week too</p>
<p>Although everyone knows that the chances of winning the jackpot are astronomically high &#8211; many thousands of people still win smaller (and not so small) prizes on games like the UK National Lottery every week.  I just didnt seem to be one of them.</p>
<p>That was until I started discovering some of the secrets a few select people in the know are using every week to -</p>
<p>a) massively increase their chances of winning the jackpot and<br />
b) win smaller prizes on a more regular basis</p>
<p>So, just what are these secrets?  Im glad you asked</p>
<p>One of the easiest ways of increasing your chances of winning is to simply play more times Duh, obviously! I hear you say, But that means I have to spend more money and the whole point is to win it, not spend it!</p>
<p>Well youre correct, but did I say anything about paying to play more?</p>
<p>I simply said to increase your chances of winning play more times.  There are ways of playing multiple times at the fraction of the normal cost there are even ways you can play entirely for free!</p>
<p>How?  Heres the secret</p>
<p>To play multiple times for the fraction of the normal cost you need to be part of a well organised lottery syndicate.</p>
<p>Now Ive heard all the horror stories about lottery syndicates winning and someone running off with the winnings or one time friends fighting each other through the courts</p>
<p>Notice, however, I referred to being part of a well organised lottery syndicate.  A well organised lottery syndicate that uses a proven mathematical formula a formula that lets you win more with the same numbers than you would had you played alone&#8230; even on lotteries as highly regarded as the UK National Lottery.<br />
<span id="more-1195"></span><br />
I know what youre thinking  How can that be?  If you have to share your winnings as part of a lottery syndicate how can you win more with the same numbers?</p>
<p>Its a good question, let me explain</p>
<p>As part of a lottery syndicate you can combine your spending power and play smart. This applies to any lottery but for the time being lets use the UK National Lottery as an example</p>
<p>To play the UK National Lottery you choose six numbers from between 1 and 49.  Now lets say that you are part of a lottery syndicate with 49 other people.  Every week the lottery syndicate has the same five numbers and uses its spending power to buy 44 tickets.</p>
<p>Why 44?  Another good question</p>
<p>If you need to choose six numbers per entry (and you already have five numbers) then all you need to do is buy 44 tickets using the 44 numbers you dont already have as your sixth number.</p>
<p>The brilliance behind this approach is you are always guaranteed to have at least one ball every draw  which means, in the case of the UK National Lottery, you only need to match two of your lottery syndicates numbers to win a prize rather than match three if you played alone.</p>
<p>And because of the way the maths works out there will be multiple winning lines within the 44 when you win which leads to more money to share within the lottery syndicate.</p>
<p>Your winnings as part of the lottery syndicate using this method are actually higher for matching the same numbers than had you played alone.  You also have more chances to win more often too</p>
<p>In fact your chances of winning the UK National Lottery Jackpot are increased by an amazing 702%!</p>
<p>Now can you see what I mean by playing smart and the power of playing the lottery as part of a lottery syndicate?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those of you who have ever joined a <strong>horse racing tipster service</strong> and been disappointed with the results, youve probably thought, I could do better myself. Well you may be right!</p>
<p>If you have continued that thought process, you may have considered starting your own horse racing tipster service, but have been held back by not knowing how to go about it. Well now you can join the highly lucrative world of the horse racing tipster with your very own <span style="text-decoration: underline;">tipster service!</span></p>
<p>A new e-book has hit the market and it is the most easy to understand and well written book on the subject that Ive yet to come across. There are a couple of free e-books that Ive seen touted around on other sites, and having read them, its easy to see why they are free. They are either thinly veiled excuses for trying to sell you a lot of different products or they are poorly written and thrown together, leaving you with no really useful ideas on how to get your <em>tipster service</em> off the ground.</p>
<p>How To Run Your Own Professional Horse Racing Tipster Service, is very different. It is a complete and comprehensive, step-by-step, take you by the hand guide that will give you all the information you need to get your tipster service making bundles of cash for you on a regular basis!<br />
<span id="more-1193"></span><br />
Even better, is the fact that the second e-book that used to be sold separately at up to 297 is now included in this one new e-book and is completely free as part of the package. You can find out more at; http://www.the-horse-racing-mail.com/Racing-Tipster.html&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s completely obvious to you that one player has the nuts, for instance. And you watch, fascinated, as another player bets into the nut hand with NO outs. To compound the error, the player who is drawing dead now calls a raise on the river to lose even more money.</p>
<p>Before the winner is turned over, you mentally call the winning hand to yourself, and are not at all surprised when the two cards you expected to see are revealed.</p>
<p>Why are hands so easy to read when you&#8217;re NOT involved? Good question!</p>
<p>Why are they so hard to read when you have YOUR money in the pot? Another good question.</p>
<p>Poker is a game of mistakes. The player who makes the least misjudgments, misreads and downright DUMB plays is most likely to go home with the cash.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to give you an exercise that is quite advanced for a change. Every once in a while you should be given a chance to go to another level of play. If you are like most players (myself included), you won&#8217;t be able to complete this exercise for long. At best you&#8217;ll only be able to manage a few minutes of the exercise before failing.</p>
<p>Here is what I want you to do. One night next week, before you get out of the car in your cardroom parking lot and go in to play, I want you to stop for a few minutes and concentrate. I want you to visualize yourself as you sit behind the wheel. As you see yourself, pretend that you are a director in a movie where you are the star. The movie is about you. Now you are NOT the player, you are the director watching an actor playing you.</p>
<p>Are you still with me?</p>
<p>The person that is normally you, now is an actor playing you, ok?</p>
<p>For as long as you can maintain the exercise, watch yourself play poker from a camera angle just over your right shoulder. Within the picture frame, the camera can see all the players at the table and can zoom in on your hand when it is dealt to you.</p>
<p>Instead of you putting your money in the pot, you are watching an actor putting his chips in the pot. Now the camera follows everyone in turn around the table. From this detached point of view, suddenly everyone&#8217;s motives for acting are revealed. Including YOURS.<br />
<span id="more-1191"></span><br />
To your amazement, you will find yourself saying about the actor playing you. &#8220;Why did he do that? That was so STUPID! The guy in the three seat OBVIOUSLY has the best hand!&#8221;</p>
<p>Now as the director, you tell the actor that is playing you to throw the hand away. Of course, the actor does what he is told. The exercise is complete when the player in the three seat turns over EXACTLY the hand the detached, uninvolved you put him on.</p>
<p>You have now done what you couldn&#8217;t do before. You&#8217;ve played a hand as if you weren&#8217;t emotionally and financially involved. And you saved a lot of money.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t expect to be able to maintain this exercise for long. It takes years of practice. But if you can do it even for a few hands a night, the difference in your play can be substantial. Poker will become a game of mistakes for the other players, not you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Each online casino rewards players differently and moreover, each online casino game does as well. You might have heard, for example, that craps has the best payouts of all while the payout percentages for video poker may be less than ideal (this is not a hard fast rule, merely an example). So what does this mean? What are payout percentages, how much do they matter to you, the player, when searching for a new online casino to enter or online casino game to play, and how can you use this knowledge to rake in as much money as possible? This article will answer all of these questions, and a few others.</p>
<p>The payout percentage of any online casino game is the portion of players wagers that is paid out in winnings. Thats right &#8212; if you thought that <strong>all </strong>of the money bet at the online casino is paid out to somebody (hopefully you as much as possible), you thought wrong. The house; (or the online casino itself) keeps a small percentage of every bet coming in as part of their fee for providing the online gambling venue in the first place.</p>
<p>Now, before you go pouting in a corner, vowing never to set cyber-foot near an online casino game again, let us assure you &#8212; not only is it the same way with land-based casinos, but the payout percentages at those brick-and-mortar casinos is lower (or worse for you, the player) than at the online casino.</p>
<p>The primary reason, of course, is the lower cost of operating an online casino as compared with a land-based one. The secondary reason is competition &#8212; there are so many online casinos, and more cropping up every day, that one of the only ways to compete in this cutthroat industry is to offer you, the player, better chances of walking away from your computer with money in your account than the competition can promise.</p>
<p>This is why most online casinos will hire a reputed third-party auditing company (like Price Waterhouse Coopers) to audit their games monthly and produce a <strong>payout report</strong> detailing the percentages of money coming into each online casino game at that casino (slots, craps, roulette, video poker, keno, etc.) that is paid out to players in the form of winnings and bonuses. So if you see something like this &#8212; <strong>Slots 98.7%</strong> &#8211; you know that the house keeps 1.3% of each penny bet at the slots. The closer the payout percentages of an online casino game to 100%, the better it is for you, the player. So if we saw &#8212; <strong>Craps 99.8%</strong> &#8211; wed probably brave a few rolls of the dice.</p>
<p>And incidentally, most jurisdictions that regulate gambling require casinos online and off to pay out a minimum of 75% of all incoming monies. Though in some cases this number may be slightly lower, its unlikely youll ever find it too much lower than that.<br />
<span id="more-1188"></span><br />
These payout reports are generally published openly on the online casinos website with a complete archive of previous months reports all readily available for anyone wishing to view them. If, perchance, youre considering a site that does not publicly display their payout percentages of each online casino game directly on their site, it is complete reasonable for you to write to the site (see their <strong>Contact Info</strong>) to inquire about it. They should be more than happy to email that information to you. If theyre not, wed raise an eyebrow and seriously consider <strong>not</strong> depositing any of our hard-earned money into such a place.</p>
<p>Now you know how to better evaluate online casinos and each online casino game that they offer in order to learn not only which have the best odds of winning <strong>any</strong> amount of money at all, but also which have the largest payouts. Armed with this information, youre now better prepared to venture out into the jungle of online casino games and emerge with a bounty to be proud of!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In part 1 of this 2 part series, we began to lay out for you exactly what online poker reviewers look for when evaluating an online poker room, using the poker review template from our own poker portal at Poker-Ranking.com.</p>
<p>In part 1, we explained in depth the following sections: Software and Graphics, Game Variation and Limits, and Traffic. In this concluding article, we will delve into what information is contained in the rest of the sections of a typical online poker review.</p>
<p><strong>Competition</strong></p>
<p>Here in an online poker review, youll find a gauge of the level of skill predominant at the various games (Texas Holdem, etc.), types (Ring Games, etc.), betting structures (Limit, etc.), and stakes ($100/$200, etc.).</p>
<p>The term <strong>fish</strong> refers to players that arent very good. The call a lot of bad bets and can be intimidated easily. A good player can beat fish consistently with little difficulty.</p>
<p>The term <strong>shark</strong> refers to expert players that devour the fish. (For another appropriate animal reference, consider a fox in the henhouse.)</p>
<p><strong>Bonuses</strong></p>
<p>This part of an online poker review will tell you the signup bonus youll get (usually a percentage match against your first deposit), as well as any other bonuses available at the online poker room.</p>
<p>Some common bonuses are as follows:</p>
<p><strong>Bad Beat Bonus:</strong> If you lose a hand holding higher than a certain amount (usually 4 Queens), you win the largest portion of a bonus that is shared amongst all the players that posted blinds in that round</p>
<p><strong>Magic Hand Bonus:</strong> Every round (or hand) in an online poker room is given a number (which is how you can later refer back to earlier games); in a Magic Hand Bonus, the online poker room chooses a number (say, every one millionth hand) and gives every player who posted blinds in that hand a share of the bonus, the largest portion going to the winner of the hand</p>
<p><strong>High Hand Bonus:</strong> Given to any player that gets the highest hand (above a minimum high hand, eg. 4 Kings) in a set period of time, without folding</p>
<p><strong>Progressive bonuses</strong> (or Progressive Jackpots): These start at a certain amount (eg. $500) and each day that goes by without a winner claiming the bonus, a certain amount (eg. $50) is added, until someone wins the accumulated amount and the jackpot is then reset to its starting level.</p>
<p><strong>Rake</strong></p>
<p>Here is where the online poker review will tell you what the commission is that the online poker room takes for each hand. The average rake is 5% of the pot, up to but not exceeding $3. Many online poker rooms take smaller cuts from smaller pots or lower stakes games.</p>
<p>Some have a wonderful <strong>No Flop/No Drop policy</strong>, stating that if nobody stays in to see the flop, no rake is taken.</p>
<p><strong>Customer Service</strong></p>
<p>This section of the online poker review tells you the ways to reach customer support (toll-free phone, email, live chat), the hours (preferably 24/7), and most importantly, the quality, courteousness, and responsiveness.</p>
<p><strong>Promotions</strong></p>
<p>Similar to bonuses, but meriting their own section of the online poker review, promotions are special, time-sensitive events, generally with extraordinary prizes that include hefty jackpots, vacations, automobiles, and free seats in World Poker Tour and World Series of Poker events.<br />
<span id="more-1186"></span><br />
<strong>Deposits and Cashouts</strong></p>
<p>Youll find two things in this section of an online poker review: first, the payment methods accepted for deposits (purchases) and cashouts (withdrawals), such as PayPal, credit cards, NETeller, etc., and second, the promptness, reliability, and security with which they process these transactions.</p>
<p><strong>Ease of Use</strong></p>
<p>This section of an online poker review usually discusses the usability and intuitiveness (or lack thereof) of the interface. In addition, youll learn here about the layout of the lobby and the information given, including lobby stats like the following:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Video Poker is a popular game that can be played in casinos across the world, or alternatively at home on your PC, through an Internet connection. The rules are very straightforward and involve the player attempting to get the highest combination of cards possible in order to win money. In this respect it is much the same as a normal game of poker, minus the interaction with other players. Of course, techniques used in a physical game of poker, such as bluffing, will be irrelevant here.</p>
<p>The game of Video Poker begins when the player inserts credit (either tokens, tickets or money) into the machine and presses the play, deal or draw button. A hand of five cards will then be electronically dealt on the video screen.</p>
<p>The Video Poker machine also has buttons with hold written on them, and players should now choose which cards to hold and which to discard. For the cards the player wishes to keep, the hold buttons should be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they wish, from all to none.</p>
<p>After the player has chosen which cards he or she wishes to keep, they should press deal or draw, at which point any new cards are dealt if desired. The game is now completed, with the Video Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the payment schedule.<br />
<span id="more-1184"></span><br />
Typically, the minimum winning hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing for each better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving on to two pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It goes without saying that the payment schedule can vary from machine to machine, so that experienced players are able to choose the most profitable ones every time.</p>
<p>Once the initial round has finished, the player can either choose to stay on in an attempt to increase their earnings, or press the collect button to retrieve any credits that have been won. Further, some versions of the game allow the player a chance to double their winnings, in which case a further game is played. There are also variations between individual machines, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other varying elements to increase playability.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you know how to play Texas Hold Em?

<p>The first thing you should know about how to play Texas Hold Em is the hand rankings. Texas Hold Em is a variation of Seven-Card Stud, and the order of hands is the same as for standard poker. Because there are no wild cards, the highest possible hand is a Royal Flush, which is five cards of the same suit in sequential order from Ten to Ace. Below the Royal Flush is a Straight Flush, any five same-suit cards in sequential order; then Four of a Kind; Full House; Flush; Straight; Three of a Kind; Two Pair, One Pair, and High Card. As you learn how to play Texas Hold Em, remember that in the unlikely event a High Card hand beats all the other hands at your table, most casinos dont pay out for a High Card win.<br />
<span id="more-1182"></span><br />
Learning how to play the game Texas Hold Em can be a lot of fun: there are lots of opportunities to place bets during a hand of Texas Hold Em. Each hand consists of five stages, or rounds, and betting takes place after each round is dealt. The first round is called the pre-flop; each player is dealt two face-down cards. No other player will see these cards during the course of the game, and so they are called the hole cards or, more commonly, the pocket pair. The remaining five of the seven cards in Texas Hold Em are community cards, dealt face-up in the center of the table for all players to view and use in constructing their hands. As you figure out how to play Texas Hold Em, you can learn betting strategies that will help you increase your shot at winning.</p>
<p>The community cards are dealt in stages. Its important to understand how to bet the rounds in how to play Texas Hold Em. After the pre-flop, three face-up cards called the flop are laid out. The remaining two shared cards are placed one at a time, providing two final rounds called the turn and the river. Following the bets placed after the river, all players reveal their pocket pair and call their best hand. One thing to remember about how to play Texas Hold Em is that when the five shared cards comprise the best possible understanding how to play Texas Hold Em is the ticket to poker excitement; whether you play the game at home, in Vegas, or at your favorite Internet casino.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In texas holdem poker the term Fish is used to describe the weakest and least experienced player at the table. You never ever want to be the fish. It is commonly said that if you look around the table and you can not see the fish you are in his seat.</p>
<p>To avoid being instantly marked as the fish make sure not only appear as if this is not your first time in a texas holdem poker room in a casino but that you are there often. Make sure no matter how impressed by the place you are, you appear as if this is just another day playing texas holdem in the casino. If your skills at texas holdem will not allow you to go unnoticed then pick another game like roulette or blackjack.</p>
<p>Make sure you know how to play. Do not come into a casino poker room to thinking you will learn Texas Holdem as you play. This is not Uno it is Texas Holdem Poker and played for real money. I promise you that before you learn the game this way you will be broke and homeless. You should learn to play at home with friends or online in free money poker games against others or against the computer. Then as you improve start to play in online poker rooms for money.</p>
<p>If you were a spy trying to infiltrate into Russia during the cold war the CIA would have you trained on how to speak Russian and the proper idioms and accent as well so that you blend is as a local, well texas holdem has its own language as well and if you want to blend in as an experienced player you have to know the language as a native speaker. This means understanding what others are saying and being able to use the common expressions correctly in normal conversation. Not laughing at a joke because you did not understand it will make you stand out and some people are bound to notice and figure out you are not all you seem to be.<br />
<span id="more-1180"></span></p>
<p>I am sure most of us have seen texas holdem on ESPN television and have sent he way to professional poker players dress. Many of them are wearing clothes will advertisements for poker related items. These players are being paid to advertise these items because of their high likelihood of being put on the TV.  Some players wear disguises to try and hide their faces from the other players by wearing hats and glasses to hide their eyes. These players know that a small slip up can cost them the chance at winning the million dollar prize, so to make sure they do nt give up any information to another player they try to hide their faces. You are not playing in the big leagues so to try these things will just make you look stupid since everyone will know you are not a professional player by the fact they do not recognize you. This will then make you stand out and risk you being marked as an inexperienced player or &#8220;The Fish&#8221;.</p>
<p>Every player at a texas holdem poker table that spots you as the fish will then begin to focus on you till they find your tells, and believe me we all have them. It is just experience that allows some of us to hide them better then others.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sic Bo originated in ancient China and means literally dice pair, although the game is actually played with three dice! The game is played throughout Southeast Asia, Korea, China and increasingly in Western casinos. Sic Bo is an easy game to play, the object being to bet on the outcome of a role of the three dice, to include combinations of any two or three of the dice, single numbers, two of a kind or three of a kind.</p>
<p>The game is played on a table that illustrates the 50 permissible bets in pictorial form and with their associated payout. Sic Bo payouts range from 180:1 for a specific triple, to 1:1 for betting on the value of just one dice. The dice are usually tumbled in a basket by the dealer, who will enter the results on to the table, and then light up the winning combinations. The dealer pays out the lucky winners and removes the unsuccessful bets.<br />
<span id="more-1178"></span><br />
The first and most straight forward betting option in Sic Bo is to bet on any one number of the numbers 1 to 6 on a dice, and if that number comes up on any one of the three dice rolled, then the bet is paid out at evens, if two number come up then the payout is 2:1 and if all three dice feature the chosen number the payout is 3:1. A player can also select a pair of numbers for example 2 and 4 to come up on any two of the dice, and if successful the payout is 5:1.</p>
<p>A bet can be placed on the total of the three dice from 4 to 17 inclusive. The odds vary for this bet depending upon the total bet. Small bets refer to a wager that the total of the three dice will be between 4 and 10 (although this does not payout for triple 1, 2 or 3), whilst Big bets require the total of the three dice to be between 11 and 17 (excluding triple 4 and 5); both these latter popular bets pay out 1:1.</p>
<p>A specific triple requires all three of the dice to show the selected triple e.g. 3 x 3, and this pays out the maximum of 180:1. A variant of this, at the lower payout of 30:1, is the any triple bet that pays out for any of the six possible triples. A specific double bet pays out 10:1 if any two dice match the number that has been wagered.</p>
