Win At Online Gambling Part 2 – Games Of Skill

Article by sacha tarkovsky









We have already looked at how to win at online gambling with games of chance but by their very nature they are games of chance and you only need to place the bets with the best odds of success.

Here we will look at 3 games to win at online gambling that involve a degree of skill where you can influence the outcome of the game.

Because skill is involved you can win more money, but which game is best for you. Let’s take a look.

1. Online Slots Video Poker

This is the perfect introduction to a skill game, bridging the gap between the pure games of chance and the more daunting table card games.

The reason video poker is so popular is that it has all the fun of slots but you can play with a strategy (different for each game) and tilts the odds a little in your favour.

When playing video poker its best to play high paying machines and a good place to start is with a jacks or better 9 / 6 machine.

The advantage of video poker are its fun, it’s easy and you get to tilt the odds in your favour.

It’s a good intro to games of skill but if you really want to win at online gambling you need to look at blackjack and poker.

2. Blackjack

Blackjack is a game where your choices really do make a difference to the amount you win and by using basic strategy and card counting, you can get the edge away from the casino and in your favour.

The advantages with card counting is that over the long term you can get the odds in your favour and make steady gains and card counting is not as complicated as it is made out to be.

The disadvantages of blackjack are, that at best the edge in your favour is about 2% and it’s a long term edge i.e. short term results can vary dramatically.

You can make good money but you won’t really get rich and playing it can lack excitement, as you are simply following a method.

3. Poker

The king of all online casino games and if you want to win at online gambling and win big this is game to focus on.

So why is poker so competitive and the winnings so large?

The answer lies in it’s an interactive game where you face other players and compete with them NOT The casino.

It is this that makes poker a game where the big money is.

It’s a game of skill, but it’s also a game of psychology. Keep in mind the beat hand does not always win in poker!

Here you need to play your opponent as much as your cards, this makes poker unpredictable and the ultimate test of skill.

Poker can make you far richer than any other game in the casino but you need to hone your skills, to win at online gambling with poker you need lots of practice and the traits of discipline, perseverance, cunning, patience and a cool head.

If you can adopt these traits and learn from your experiences, you can make huge gains and in today’s big money poker tournaments you’re talking 7 figure sums.

In poker you can’t just follow a system as you do in blackjack or video poker, you need to use psychology to win and thats the appeal.

It’s hard, it’s brutal but very satisfying when you win!

All the games above have reasons to recommend them and the one you play to win at online gambling will reflect your personality, your aspirations and how much money you want to win.

Which ever you choose to play to win at online gambling, have fun and good luck.

The US vs Online Gambling – Part Two

Article by Kenneth Bateman









Online gaming won a small victory in 1999, when the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act failed to achieve the two-thirds majority vote necessary for passage in the House of Representatives as required by law. Cause for celebration by the multi-billion dollar online gaming industry, however, was short-lived.

As it is now being enforced in 2006 by an anti-internet gambling United States Government, the law as it has been amended in the Federal Criminal Code makes it unlawful for any person engaged in a gambling business to use the Internet or any other interactive computer service to:

- Place, receive or otherwise make a bet or wager.- Send, receive, or invite information assisting in the placing of a bet or wager.- Penalties include fines and up to five years imprisonment.

Some legal minds, particularly, but not necessarily, those persons aligned with Internet gambling interests, suggest there is no actual constitutional authority for these actions, and the enforcement of this legislation amounts to an abuse of constitutional authority. The key to this argument is in the 10th Amendment, which specifies that all powers not enumerated in the Constitution belong to the people and the States.

Certainly, legal brick and mortar gambling establishments in the United States will view this Federal assault on internet gambling as an elimination of competitors. As far as Federal, State and local governments are concerned, they receive no benefit from online gambling, since these offshore establishments do not create tax revenue.

The State of Nevada is coping with the meteoric growth of online poker by forcing all prospective gaming license applicants to sell any ownership stakes in online casinos, and prohibiting licensed poker rooms from conducting satellite tournaments that award winners with prepaid buy-ins to Nevada poker events.

However, despite conventional on-land casino’s silence on this issue, the WSOP championship event host, the Las Vegas Rio, did allow several online poker sites to promote themselves in the Rio’s luxurious hospitality rooms. Doyle’s room, UltimateBet and Bodog were some of the internet gambling entities that were conspicuously present at the 2006 WSOP.

Harrah’s Hotel and Entertainment Enterprises, owner of the Rio, rationalizes that these online gaming operators are not in violation of U.S. gambling regulations since they are advertising themselves under their online.net suffix where poker can be played free with no money exchanged, as opposed to their.com suffix, where poker is played for real money. This arrangement allows Harrah’s to consider themselves “within the law” because they are not allowing the promotion of online gambling, just internet games played for “fun”.

Of course, it is obvious that once online players begin playing for free and increasing their skills and confidence, it is almost a foregone conclusion that they will try their luck at real money play. As further proof of the wink and nod relationship between the Rio’s WSOP relationship to online poker sites, Nolan Dalla, the WSOP series media director, is a high-profile spokesman for the internet gambling site Pokerstars.com, and the felt tops of the WSOP poker tables feature the logos of Partypoker.
