Poker Rakeback Options
Looks like maybe I overdid it a bit on my last blog post – sorry!
I let the pressure get to me a bit… it was not good to get impatient with the guy, he was just trying to learn how to play blackjack. Still how hard can it be???? and why did he have to talk so much?
Anyway whilst we are on the subject of learning – are you a poker player? And, if so do you utilize the poker rakeback options? Its a really good way of earning a bit off each pot and they have some great deals to offer poker players.
Follow the instructions on how to get rakeback, which are relatively straight forward… and you will be smiling when you see how much comes in each month. There are different ways of calculating how much rakeback you get and you should pay careful attention to this because it depends on what type of player you are.
Aggressive or passive? Aggressive players usually have a lot of their own money in the pot, so watch out how much rakeback others can get out of your aggressive play. And how much you stand to get back through rakeback.

Learn the blackjack rules dude!
Ok I know that some people think I’m being a bit unreasonable… I also got some comments about the ‘Bailouts’ blog post. But come on… its common sense surely??? Sure we all want to be nice guys and do the right thing, but there also comes a time when it becomes ridiculous.
I was sitting in the casino the other day and this guy comes in and sits down at the blackjack table to play blackjack… as one does… (no this is not a joke, even though it sounds like the beginning of one… “a man is sitting at a bar and in walks a horse”…. you know the story….)
Now he clearly knew very little about blackjack and specifically the blackjack game rules, ok so we were all beginners at some time and had to learn… I know. I actually welcome new players it is good, it is healthy for gambling.
But this guy kept stopping the dealer and asking questions, come on learn the blackjack rules dude! Its ok to ask a question once or twice, but this guy just didn’t seem to get the game… how hard can it be? You need your cards to add up to 21, even kids can play blackjack! Maybe not in the casino with real money, but they can still play the game, its not that hard.
Thankfully the dealer eventually told the guy to either play and keep quiet or to leave…
Maybe its time I took a break, I’m blowing off at everything!!!

Bailouts
What do you think about these bailouts?
When jobs are on the line and some credit is needed to keep a business going – then I can see the sense in helping out a company. As long as it is paid back!
But imagine you are a parent and your kid keeps coming to you for extra money, they get an allowance but it seems it is not enough. What would you do? Give them a bailout?
No ways I would do this… they may end up like me… a no-good casino bum, gambling away his life…
Seriously though I would say,”Go get a job and make your own money!!!”
You send the wrong message to kids if you keep bailing them out. But is the government sending the wrong message to business with all its bailouts?
Others will say, “The credit system is broken… it is a credit crunch… so now the responsibility lies on government to provide lines of credit to keep the economy going…”.
Sure, and I see their point. But come-on how far does it go and where does all the bailout money come from?
Next thing I’ll be writing to Dear Uncle Sam, I am a down and out online gambler…. I’ve had some terrible luck and I have no money left… Please sir can you help me with some spare cash so that I can try my luck on the slot machines…
It doesn’t make sense to me.

Online Casino Image
So yesterday I was on about how movies have helped promote the image of casinos. And I was thinking of real life casinos at the time, but of course nowadays, we probably have more online casinos available and so what about the online casino image?
Web casinos have also created their sophisticated, classy image to attract customers. There are so many different casinos online and the competition is so great, that they have to do everything they can to be better than their competitors and to attract gamblers.
The graphics have had to be of a high quality and the functionality of the online casino games has had to be as realistic as possible. If you played the games a few years ago they were not as nearly as good as what they are now, nor what the games of the future will be either.
If customers dont like a a site they just go elsewhere with a click of a mouse…. attracting and then keeping your online casino gambler is a lot harder online. So they have to ensure that their image is good and that they look like a top quality site.
Integrity and proffesionalism is also very important online, players must trust a casino online otherwise they wont deposit their money and play on the site.

Movies Promoting Casinos
Movies like some of the Bond movies, Oceans 11, 12…. etc have really helped the marketing of the casino industry.
You take the shear class of the European casino that is portrayed in ‘Casino Royale’ and instead of the sleazy image of a gambling pit full of desperate people, dropping their last hard earned coins into slot machines… hoping for their one big win…
Instead now you now have an image of a high class establishment a casino that oozes wealth and sophistication… that it is cool to gamble and accepted by society.
All image of course. But this what places like Las Vegas try and replicate, copying the high class image of the best casinos around the world, keeping you indoors in a false environment all day long and entertaining you – so that you will feel that you are in a classy european casino, where only the high society go… all designed to entertain you and ensure you have the best experience possible.
Its all about marketing and image! and movies have played a huge part to create this image.

Ok so President Obama and his family have moved into the White House and the Bush’s are back in Texas…
It hasn’t taken the new president long to make some key decisions and get right into the thick of things. Good for him, I suppose he has to, there is so much to sort out. What did he call them in his inauguration speech?, challenges I think…they sure are challenges Mr President!
Ok thats enough on politics lets get back to what counts and what we do best!
Today I want to talk about the choice of online casino games that we have. It is unbelievable the choice of games that you have to play when you visit an online casino.
I sometimes find it difficult to decide which game I want to play. Obviously I have my favorites, the ones I know I have a chance of winning at, or the ones where my money lasts longer or the online games that I have the biggest chance of winning a large jackpot.
But it is still difficult to decide which game to play sometimes. Online software has also got better. The graphics, speed and functionality are all way better.
The funny thing is that when I sit down in a real life casino, I usually stick to the card games because I like them the best and because I know the odds of winning are better. But its like I go crazy when I go online, maybe its because there is so much choice and the online casino games have become so good – I just dunno.
I suppose it has something to do with the mood I’m in at the time. Who knows?
What online casino games do you like playing the most?

Obama’s inauguration party gets going!
The inauguration of Barack Obama, the 44th president of the United States of America, will take place tomorrow in Washington. What a momentous occasion it will be. What a huge event, that is sure to be one big party! They say 2 million people will be there… wow… that’s awesome, what a turnout!
Isn’t it amazing what a hero he has become already, and he hasn’t even become the president yet! I wonder is it because the US needs a leader or is it because of who he is as a political leader.
Not to undo the incredible rise of Obama and his achievement. It is indeed a momentous occasion in history, to be remembered and recorded forever. It is incredible to think that slavery was abolished not so long ago, and now tomorrow the first black president will take office!
Actually the party has already begun with a free concert that took place on sunday afternoon. The crowds were entertained with some of the top entertainers, choosing songs that had real meaning for the historic event. Everyone got in on the act with songs, acts and speaches that made patriotic reference to all kinds of events and people.
Obama had some inspiring things to say to the nation – “Welcome to this celebration of American renewal,” probably sums it all up. America is hoping for renewal and revitalization – a breath of life, perhaps!
Enjoy the occasion Mr soon-to-be President, because once it is over the hangover of reality will soon kick in and you have one huge mess to clean up!
Oh and whilst you are at it, please could you change the internet gambling laws….

Play Online Casino Games
When you play games in a online casino, you don’t have the option of going head-to-head with the dealer or competing with a table full of players (unless perhaps you are a super-high roller). It is not economically feasible for live casinos to provide a dealer and a whole table for a single customer.
When you play online casino games, it is a different story. The dealers and tables are all virtual, so there is no cost providing as many as are needed. For this reason, when you play casino games online you may have a choice as to whether you want to play a single or multi-player situation. There are advantages and disadvantages to each.
Advantages of Single Player Casino Game Action: No Worrying About Time
When playing at a live casino, how much time the players take to act is an issue. If you play online casino games as a single player, you can take as long as you need to figure out want to do without being in any danger of aggravating other players. Furthermore, you won’t have to wait impatiently while another confused player makes a decision.
Advantages of Single Player Casino game Action: Getting in More Hands
In a similar vein, you can get in many more hands when the dealer does not have to deal or pay out to anyone but you. This means more action in a shorter time, so if you are an “action junkie,” you may prefer single player format.
Advantages to Multi Player Casino Game Action: More Social
When you play online casino games with others, you are in a social situation. You can chat and learn about the other players and congratulate them on their play. Since you are all competing against the dealer, some real camaraderie can develop.
Advantages to Multi Player Casino Game Action: See More Cards
It is very difficult to count cards in online blackjack due to the constant randomization of the deck. However, some people feel that seeing the cards in other players’ hands and therefore knowing they are not in the deck to be drawn confers some advantage.
There are many other advantages to both types of play. Consider trying both and working out for yourself which style you prefer for playing online casino games.
