Hedge Bet Betting

Monday, December 18th, 2006

Ok, let us see what is a hedge bet: Actually it is two offsetting bets made to win a small profit or to minimize the loss of a big bet. While hedge betting is not to the player’s advantage it can be used to grind out a small profit or be used to let you play longer on a small bankroll. The most popular use of hedge betting is at the craps table.

A player will put down a passline bet and then make a $1 bet on the any craps in case one of the craps numbers is thrown. In this case if the shooter throws 2 -3 or 12 the players loses his $5 passline bet but collects $7 for the any craps bet. If the shooter throws any other number the $1 any craps bet is lost. While this may sound like a good bet it actually is not and if you hedge every passline bet you will be an over all loser. The any craps bet has a house edge of 11.11%

The Martingale Betting System

Monday, December 18th, 2006

I’m sure, most players in the regular casinos and online casinos are looking for a kind of system to help them win. Many of them stumble upon or hear about a surefire system that involves doubling their bets after each loss. They think sooner or later they have to win. This name of this system is the Martingale system and it has been around for years. It has also been the ruin of many players. Here is how it works. You make a bet and if you lose you double your bet. If you lose again you double your bet. You keep doing this until you win and then go back to your original bet.

Try to imaging you are playing on a 5$ table. You start with $5 bet. If yu loose, your next bet will be $10. If you loose, your next bet will be $20 and so on. It would only take eight losses to exceed the table maximum bet. It doesn’t matter how many times you double up your bet. You will up you will only win five dollars if you eventually hit. This takes into account all your progressions up to that point. Even if you could exceed the $500 maximum bet, on the eighth bet you are risking $640 to win $5. You have already invested $635 for your previous seven bets. If you lose that one you are out $1,275. Can you imagine risking over a thousand dollars for a chance to win five dollars? The casinos know that if someone had unlimited resources they would eventually win. That is why the set maximum bets at the table. For example, $500 limit.

Some people who try the Martingale system have an initial success with it. They might win consistently for many sessions and swear the system is fool proof. Sooner or later reality will kick in and they will discover the flaw in the system.

But remeber: Anything can happen in a casino including losing several bets in a row. There are still many players however that are just hearing about the Martingale system and are convinced that they can’t lose with it. Here is an easy way to see for yourself.

No betting system will change the overall casino edge and the Martingale system can be disastrous when things go bad. Please don’t be one who is fooled by this system.

Your comments are welcome!

Friday, December 15th, 2006

Gary walks into a bar and sees three men and a dog playing poker. The dog is looking rather glum.

‘That’s a smart dog,’ says the man.

‘Not really,’ replies one of the players, ‘he hasn’t won a single hand.’

‘Why’s that?’ asks Gary.

‘He’s a bit dumb,’ said the player, ‘Every time he gets a good hand, he wags his tail.’

“Toilet” There I Said It

Friday, December 15th, 2006

A rather old fashioned lady, always quite delicate and elegant, especially in her language, was planning a weeks holiday in Sydney with her husband, so she wrote to a particular camping ground and asked for a reservation.

She wanted to make sure that the camping ground was fully equipped, but didn’t know quite how to ask about the toilet facilities. She just couldn’t bring herself to write the word “toilet” in her letter.

After much thought, she finally came up with the old fashioned term “Bathroom closet” but when she wrote it down, she still thought she was being too forward, so she started all over again, rewrote the letter, and referred to the bathroom closet as the B.C.

“Does the camping ground have it’s own B.C.” is what she wrote.

Well, the camping ground owner wasn’t a bit old fashioned, and he just couldn’t figure out what the old lady was talking about, so he showed the letter around a few of the campers and the only thing they could come up with was that B.C. stood for Baptist Church, so he wrote the following reply.

Dear Madam,

I regret very much the delay in answering your letter, but I now take the pleasure of informing you that a B.C. is located nine miles north of our camping ground, and is capable of seating 250 people at one time.

I admit that it is quite a distance away if you are in the habit of going regularly but no doubt you will be pleased to know that a great number of campers go there and many take their lunches along and make a day of it. They usually arrive nice and early and stay quite late.

The last time my wife and I went was six years ago, and it was so crowded we had to stand up the whole time we were there. It may interest you to know that there is a special supper planned there to raise money to buy more seats so that everyone will be able to sit in comfort.

I would like to say that it pains me very much not to be able to go more regularly, but it is surely no lack of desire on my part, just that I am so busy most of the time.

As we grow older, it seems to be more of an effort to go, especially in the cold weather. If you decide to come down to our camping ground perhaps I could go with you the first time you go, sit with you and introduce you to all the other folks.

Remember this is a very friendly community

Roulette voices…

Friday, December 15th, 2006

A man was walking along a lonely beach. Suddenly he heard a deep voice commands, ‘Dig.’

He looks around: but there’s nobody’s about. I am having hallucinations, he thinks. Then he hears the voice again: ‘I said, dig.’

So he starts to dig in the sand with his bare hands, and after some inches, he finds a small chest with a rusty lock.

The deep voice says: ‘Open.’

The man finds a rock and smashes the lock,. When the chest is finally open, he sees a huge hoard of gold coins.

The deep voice says: ‘To the casino

The man jumps in his car and drives the few miles to the nearest casino.

The deep voice says: ‘Roulette.’

So he changes all the gold into a huge pile of roulette tokens and goes to one of the tables, where the players gaze at him with disbelief.

The deep voice says: ‘27’

The man places the whole lot on number 27. The roulette table nearly erupts with excitement. Everybody is quiet when the croupier throws the ball.

The ball spins round and around and around then eventually stops on number 26.

‘SHIT!’ snapped the deep voice.

Black Jack: tip the dealer!

Friday, December 15th, 2006

Blackjack dealer and a player with a thirteen count in his hand were arguing about whether or not it was appropriate to tip the dealer.

The player said, ‘When I get bad cards, it’s not the dealers fault. Similarly, when I get good cards, the dealer obviously had nothing to do with it so why should I tip him?’

The dealer interrupted, ‘When you eat out do you tip the waiter?’

‘Yes,’ replied the player.

‘Well then, he serves you food, I’m serving you cards so you should tip me.’

‘OK,’ smiled the player. ‘But, the waiter always gives me exactly what I ask for . . . so I’ll take an eight please.’
