Videopoker Tips

Posted by: Professional Gambler  /  Category: Gambling, Gambling Guides, Gambling Strategies


Video Poker is all-too-often confused with slots. Simply because they are graphically-driven games, video poker requires far more thought and strategy.Some good rules of thumb to improve your odds of success are:

1. You can apply a different strategy to each machine, so when you find a machine you like, stick with it. The longer you play, you will become more comfortable and be able to develop a strategy that works best for you .

2. Resist the temptation to hold on to a Kicker. Holding an unpaired card with a pair adds no value to your hand.

3. Drawing an outside straight (_5,6,7,8_) is far and away easier than waiting to draw an inside straight (5,6,_,8,9). Allowing yourself to wait for a draw on an outside straight allows you to complete your hand by getting the card you need on either end.

4. Jacks or Better has an easy-to-understand strategy that makes it the game best suited to players new to Video Poker.

5. Higher payouts such as 9/6 for Jacks or Better and 9/5 for Deuces Wild offer the best payouts for players.

6. Before you discard, remember that the probability of a Royal Flush in Jacks or Better Video Poker is approximately 1 in every 40,000 hands.

7. Never hold three cards in an attempt to get a straight or flush.

Smart Ways to Play Slots

Progressive slots offer jackpots that grow as more money is played through the machine. The progressive may be part of a network of machines all offering the same jackpot, and all contributing a portion of their play-through to that total. Until a lucky player hits the jackpot, progressive slots grow larger and larger, either topping out at a predefined level set by the casino, or being won in a single spin and getting reset. The jackpot grows in proportion to how much play the machine or network of machines get. After a major win, the jackpot value is reset to a base figure and it starts growing again. All of the lavish and extravagant prizes one sees on the casino floor are made possible by the progressive jackpot concept.

Here are the most important things you need to know before playing progressive slots.

To begin with, you have to choose between standard slots and progressives. Your decision will likely be based on your motivation to play. Progressive slots set aside some of their revenue to be put towards a giant jackpot, but offer smaller and often less frequent payouts in between. If you’re playing slots because you want to strike it rich, progressive slots are tailor made for you. If you prefer to maximize your playing time on a limited budget, and would be perfectly happy making just a few bucks, then it’s best to stick with machines offering smaller jackpots. Lower jackpot machines will likely offer smaller but more frequent wins.

To maximize your potential revenue, browse through the slots to find similar machines. Some stand-alone progressive slots may be the same except for the current jackpot total. Always choose the machine with the highest accumulated jackpot among similar machines. Chances are they were reset to the same base level, and the one with the higher jackpot has been running longer since being won.

Keep in mind that, if you are a progressive slots fan, all progressive machines require that you bet the maximum number of coins to be eligible for the big jackpot. If you play these machines, you’ve chosen to forego more frequent small profits for a shot at a big payout, and that payout will only go to players placing the maximum bet.

BASIC BLACKJACK STRATEGY

Posted by: Professional Gambler  /  Category: Blackjack strategies, Gambling Strategies
Blackjack strategy is a world made up of two halves. One half is comprised of those who believe that ‘basic strategy’ is all you need to know, while the other half believe it leaves something to be desired.

Basic strategy is the standard name for the strategies that were discovered with a little computer help in the 1980′s. Computer programmers realized that once you know all of the variables governing game-play, the specific rules for a table, and the number of decks in a shoe, you could program a computer to play blackjack for you.

Having the computer play for them allowed the researchers to assess every possible situation a player could be presented with (two card total vs. a specific dealer’s up-card) and determine which would be more statistically profitable for the player in the long run. This information is usually provided in the form of a table or chart that allows you to look up your two-card hand against the dealer’s up-card. The chart indicates whether you should hit, stand, double, or split.

It’s rather difficult to dispute the reliability of a blackjack strategy that was built on pure mathematics.

Playing perfect strategy, depending on the game you’re up against, helps bring the house edge into check, possibly lowering it to the point where the house has less than half a percentage point edge on the player. Advocates of basic strategy know their best chance at the table is to follow the laws of basic strategy to the letter. While people play with the best of intentions, they often fail to follow the strategy suggestions exactly. The reason for this is rather simple, but deceptively destructive.

Imagine yourself at the table, with your basic blackjack strategy firmly in mind, and you are dealt two fives against a dealer up-card of 7. Imagine also, that you’re near the end of your session and your bankroll isn’t as high as it once was. A common mistake often takes place under these circumstances.

Many players see that basic strategy in this situation recommends that you double down and hope your next card is a ten, for a nice strong total of 20. A player who is on a downswing for their bankroll though, is not as willing to bet big, unless they are chasing their losses, which is never a good idea. This is where a very common blackjack strategy mistake is made. When basic strategy suggests one should double down, it’s a mistake to think “that means I’ll likely win anyway, so I don’t truly need to double my bet, I’d rather risk less right now and be happy with my smaller winnings”. While there is some inherent logic in this approach, because it’s true that if basic strategy is suggesting you double down you have a better chance of winning than normal, actually holding back from doubling your bet limits the advantage that playing with basic strategy provides.

You’ve probably heard that playing perfect basic blackjack strategy may help lower the house edge to less than 1%, but this simply is not the case if you don’t take full advantage of every instance where it is advantageous to double down.

Consider this logically. The approximate house edge for a session of play can be worked out by watching your bankroll, seeing how much you have left, and seeing how much the house has taken. Not maximizing your wins on a double down situation will leave you winning just as often, but not winning as much. This has a direct effect on the house edge: it increases it. To keep the house edge at it’s lowest you always need to double down when it is suggested by basic blackjack strategy.

How to Dominate the Blackjack Table

Posted by: Professional Gambler  /  Category: Blackjack, Gambling, Gambling Strategies

If you have been an online gambler for any length of time, you probably have heard of a product called Roulette Sniper.  This product has been on the market for quite some time, and has become legendary in some circles because of its flexibility, ease of use, and accuracy to help the online roulette player defeat the wheel.  This software is used in conjunction with the online casinos.

Recently, there has been a new Sniper product released.  This product is called Blackjack Sniper.  The Blackjack Sniper software incorporates many different strategies that help the player to win at online blackjack.

Much like Roulette Sniper, Blackjack Sniper lets you download a complimentary free trial so that you can evaluate the software before you decide to buy.  This helps remove any doubt from your mind that this product may or may not be for you.  You will find that most other blackjack products online do not offer this sort of trial, which begs the question: Do these other blackjack strategies work, or are they just trying to grab your money up front in hopes that you don’t ask for a refund later on.  To put any doubts in your mind to rest, I strongly recommend you download the free trial of Blackjack Sniper so you can see for yourself if it is for you.

The strategies that Blackjack Sniper uses are a combination of blackjack strategy, card counting, wager adjustment, timed events, and progression.  All of these options can be toggled on or off for your convenience, and to suite your play style.

If you think that Blackjack Sniper is just a basic blackjack calculator, then you are very wrong.  First, I have downloaded a few of these “free” calculators, and to my beloved surprise, my virus alarm rang with Trojans that I couldn’t get off my PC. In fact, I had to reinstall my operating system and all my favorite software back on to my computer, all thanks to this “free” junk.

Second, these “free” calculators offer no advanced strategy, besides a basic strategy card in software format. They have no card counting, no timed events, and new wagering.  Usually, free means junk.

Third, these “free” calculators are just a means to direct traffic to casinos.  The author of the Blackjack Sniper software has tested the software at the recommended online casinos, and knows them to be reputable so that when you win, you get paid your winnings.

Some might say that card counting in the online casino world makes no sense, and most people would be correct about that assumption, but there are many online casinos that offer live dealer play.  In this instance, you will find that you can use the card counting successfully.  Also, with the adjust wager option, if you have done your homework on how card counting works, Blackjack Sniper will automatically adjust your wager according to the card count.

Bonus money is another topic that people have an issue with.  Like most table games, blackjack is restricted so that you can’t actually claim the bonus.  I have found one casino that actually lets you claim the entire bonus, and this is at the Bet 365 casino, a Playtech casino (very reputable).  You can find your way to this casino from the Blackjack Sniper website.  They have a no download flash version of blackjack that is really easy to win at, plus you will be able to claim your entire bonus money.  Remember to play “Classic Blackjack“, as all other forms of blackjack at this casino have bonus restrictions.

Hopefully this review helps you make a wise and informed decision without jumping to any conclusions.  Blackjack is fun, and in fact, almost as fun as roulette.  If you have any doubts that Playtech software is rigged, then you need to check the rogue forums, such as casinomeister.  Enjoy your winning with Blackjack Sniper, and we will see you at the tables.
