Improving Your Odds on Roulette

Improving Your Odds on Roulette

Improving your odds on Roulette

When I play at roulette I choose only the best bets (you win less money but you have more low risk than at the other bets).

Be careful to only play at European Roulette because the American one has an extra double zero and this gives the house and edge of the European one, which has a house edge of just 2.70%. On American wheel, the house has an advantage of 5.26% so don’t even try ;).

I’ll now show you what the best ones to choose:

The Column Bet
If you look at the roulette table you will easily see three columns with 12 numbers each. These are known in
European Roulette as dozens.
The best method is to bet on two of the three columns so now you have 24 numbers covered and converted in a 2:1 bet. Statistically you have 63,16% of changes to win using this method.
Example: you bet $20 on each of the two columns. If you win, you will be receiving $40, so you have a profit of $20.
On the other hand, the probability of winning in 10 spins is at least 50%.
ATTENTION: house odds are known to increase if you play too much time. If you are winning, walk away with your profits ;).

En Prison European Roulette Rule
This rule (only available in European Roulette) reduces the house edge and it is a good bet spot to bet on, but this rule only works on even-money bets: high/low (or 1-18/19-36) bets, even/odd bets and red/black bets. Basically the rule states that if comes out a zero, you receive back half of the bet or you can leave the whole bet for the next spin.
This method reduces the casino edge down to 1.35%. That’s a good method to try ;).

Situation Bets
Situation bets have the odds highly against you (that’s the reason of the payout being high.
However, if you study the numbers that come out during some spins (100 or more) you can have a clear idea of numbers that never showed up and then you can bet some into that. For me it worked sometimes and as the payout is very high I use it too and keep tracking the numbers that come out all the time.
I have found a great and FREE software that can help you with the tracking and analysis of the numbers that came out that is called “Realtime Roulettemaster” and is very simple to use.

Advices
Do not play for too much long periods of time.
Always remember that it’s a luck game we can just improve the odds of winning, and in bad days we can lose so don’t get greedy this is making money for fun…
In my website I have some more tips to you to play casino games and increase your odds. Try it out, if you want to win of course!
Be aware that those games are addictive. Play Smart 😉

Playing 6-max Low Limit Poker

Playing 6-max Low Limit Poker

Introduction

Shorthanded (6-max) texas holdem is a different animal than ten or nine handed poker. Low limit shorthanded poker has a few more wrinkles than the higher limit variety. Much of the literature regarding shorthanded poker is aimed at the higher limits, where many post-flop battles are heads up. We will focus on games similar to the 1/2 6 max games at Party Poker

Starting Hands

As at any level of poker, starting hands are the foundation of your holdem game. On the 1/2 6 max tables, you will frequently be facing 2 or 3 opponents with VPIP’s (voluntarily put $ in the pot…see Poker Tracker Guide for more detail) of 50 percent or more. Now, just because many of your opponents will be starting with shaky hands doesn’t mean you should stoop to their level. Texas holdem at any level is about playing starting hands with positive expected values. The other poker players’ looseness combined with the fewer number of opponents will allow you to play more hands, but it is still optimal to keep your VPIP below 30.

In general, playing 6 max, raise with any Ace with a kicker of ten or higher, King-Queen and King-Jack, and Queen-Jack suited as well as pairs down to nines. You should limp with any two cards ten or higher in any position. In the last two seats, you can play any two cards nine or higher. Suited connectors down to 65 can be played anywhere and any other hand with two suited cards 8 or higher as well as suited Aces can be played. Pocket sixes and sevens are playable anywhere. With the smaller pockets, play them if there are two limpers ahead of you. The hands you decide to play in the first two seats can be extended to some of the suited connectors or lower pairs if you are playing at an exceptionally passive table with little raising.

Steal Raises

Most of the hands we advised you to play should be opened for a raise in those rare cases when you are on the button in a pot that hasn’t been entered. Beware…stealing the blinds is very difficult in low limit shorthanded texas holdem. Most poker players playing this level will call your raise with virtually anything in the big blind. Many will call from the small blind. Steal raises from the cutoff seat are generally not advisable. You may stretch your raising requirements SLIGHTLY if first in after two have folded, but remember you’ve still got 60% of your opponents yet to act. Raise when you can expect to narrow the field to one, for then you will be in the driver’s seat.

Aggression

Shorthanded (6-max) holdem is typically characterized by aggression. This is true in the low limit shorthanded 6 max games as well, however, the unbridled aggression effective at higher limits may not serve you as well in low limit poker. You must remain aggressive, but beware that the conditions are different and you may not be able to bully your way to as many pots. Typically, your preflop raises will be met by two or more callers. If you raise with two high cards and miss the flop, you are probably behind in the hand. With two opponents, we advocate betting the flop. One luxury of low limit poker is that your bets will not often be met with raises or check-raises.

The 6-max tables are filled with calling stations…your best hands will get callers, but if you raise with KQ and there’s an ace and two rags on the flop, you will not be able to bet your opponent’s pocket twos off the hand most of the time. Similarly, hands like pocket sevens that are good raising hands shorthanded in higher limit poker are not profitable when raised at low limits. With multiple callers expected, you will probably have to hit a set to win…so raising increases your investment and is a poor play from an expected value standpoint.

HitTheFlop

If you’ve hit your flop, then you must be extremely aggressive. Slow playing is generally a no-no (unless you have a set or are heads up, then there are times when a slow play is called for). Remember, most of these low-limit hold em players will call you down with hands like middle or bottom pair, a gutshot or even an overcard or two. Don’t allow them to bad beat you cheaply. Make them pay to see their longshot draws. Extract your money from them when you’ve got the edge. Remember also that in shorthanded poker games top pair with mediocre kicker is a much better hand than it is on full tables. If I flop top pair with my K2s in the small blind, i am usually going to check raise. Check-raising out of the blinds is very profitable.

Late players will bet their gutshots or bottom pairs, and, more importantly, will pay you off to the river after your check-raise. This is an important play…not only will it earn you money when it works but it will discourage players from trying to steal pots. Check-raises with just top pair are extremely rare at low limit holdem, and your opponents will make note of it and fear you. Any flop in which you have top pair should be raised, unless there was a preflop raiser. Then, use your judgement as to whether he should be checkraised, depending on the board and his raising frequency.

Shorthanded Poker

Low limit shorthanded (6 max) texas holdem is a game swimming with fish. If you play tight, aggressive poker you will win at an astonishing rate due to the poor play of your opponents. Stay aggressive, but bear in mind that the number of opponents will dictate whether you should go full throttle or put on the brakes. Hop onto the 1/2 6 max holdem tables at Party Poker today, follow these guidelines and I guarantee you’ll be a profitable poker player.

Playing the Online Poker High Stakes

The history of how the poker game came about is very hard to pinpoint. Historians have long debated about the origins of the game. Although, fragments of cards that is tentatively dated to be from the 12th to 13th century were found in Egypt. Others propose that modern cards were from the Indian card game “Ganjifa. “

The history of poker can be further narrowed down to several possible origins and along the way, it becomes difficult as trying to pull a royal straight flush.

In the Americas, the history of poker is more documented. Based from document records, the poker game journeyed from the New Orleans in a steamboat and up to the Ohio and Mississippi rivers.

The poker game eventually spread via train and wagon. Changes in the game like stud poker, the straight, and the draw, became famous, specially during the Civil War.

The European face of poker, however, ended when the joker card was introduced in the game as a wild card in the year 1875. Also, in 1910, the state of Nevada declared betting games a felony and illegal before the law.

The state of California legitimized the draw poker because the draw poker was said to be based on the skill level of the player and the anti-gambling laws implemented during that time have no power against it. The Attorney General of California, however, declared the stud poker as illegal because the game is based on chance.

With this decision, the draw poker games developed and spread out across the nation. By 1931, the state of Nevada reversed its earlier decision and legalized casino gambling.

Despite all the different kinds of theories on the real origin of the poker game, one truth reveals itself, the poker game is a game that has endured the ravages of time and adapted to each and every generation that plays it.

Every one of the creative people who managed to do a variation of the poker game subconsciously adds another piece of history to the old and interesting history of poker.

— The Advent Of High Stakes Online Poker

Since the early days of the poker game, poker became a bit isolated from the world. Limited to plays from business men in expensive suits inside high-rolling casinos, the poker game was out of reach from the common man. Moreover, beginners and novices who are interested in the game have a hard time to pursue their dream.

Why? Because they should be ready to shell out large amounts of cash money to be able to play. Moreover, the beginner should be ready to face the challenge of trying to stay expressionless even though his card has absolutely no sign of winning, or his opponent will have the opportunity to read his reaction and every movement.

It is a good thing that high stakes online poker came into the scene. Through the years, high stakes online poker became so famous that the World Series of Poker accepted entries from players of high stakes online poker.

Have you ever met someone that is a stickler for details? Our neighbor is this way

Have you ever met someone that is a stickler for details? Our neighbor is this way

We spend a great deal of time with this neighbor and his wife. They are retired. They live in Minnesota by us six months out of the years and then they relocate to Florida for the other six months. For the summer months we like to do many things together because we do not see them in the winter. One of the things we like to do is to get together to play cards. We have played many different games, but the neighbor’s favorite is poker. He is the only one of us that had played prior to our playing together. He taught us the rules of poker. To begin with we would laugh that the rules of poker that he came up with seemed to always benefit him. He absolutely hates to lose. One day my husband was talking about our poker game with one of his co-workers. He mentioned one of the rules of poker that we had been following. The co-worker said that this was not how you play. This co-worker plays poker twice a month for some serious money, so he would know the rules. He also plays when he goes out to Vegas. He clarified the rule to my husband and also told him a site to look at that listed all the rules of poker. My husband told me about the website when he got home. We looked it up and found that there were many things that we were doing or not doing when we played. This neighbor’s birthday was coming up so we decided that we would get him a book of the rules of poker so that we could all use the book to clarify different things. When I went looking for the rulebook I found a rulebook for several different card games. I thought this would be even better. When our neighbor opened his present his wife thought it was great. She would no longer have to take his word for anything she could look it up. On the way home I told my husband the rulebook as more of a gift for the wife than the neighbor.
