Betting on Baseball

Betting on Baseball is not as hard as you think. When betting on baseball home field advantage does not really exist. Baseball teams are assembled to win and to make the playoffs. But as you know there is very little parody in the game. For example the Huston Astros and Miami Marlins are terrible with neither team having a winning season in 5 years. Safe bets in baseball are going against these two teams. Even though they will not lose every game.

If you bet make sure you pick the team with its ace starting. An ace is the best pitcher on the team. For example Clayton Kershaw for the Los Angles Dodgers is an Ace. The reason for paying so much attention to pitchers when betting baseball is because they control the game. They are the most responsible for a team to win or lose.

My advise is to make a futures bet for baseball. Pick a team to win the World Series.  The odds are very good on this bet. If you picked the Dodgers at the begging the year to win the World Series the odds were 30/1. This means every $1 you bet you win $30.

In conclusion baseball is a slow game and you should take you time betting on the right team at the right time.

Why go to Las Vegas?

     Indian Casinos especially in Southern California have become a big attraction for gamblers and people seeking a mini vacation from their boring and dull lives. Indian Casino's have come along way from just being big blow up tents with a couple of Blackjack tables and few slots. For instance Pechanga in Temecula and Morongo in Cabazon have become huge and very popular. Both of these casinos have 70 to 100 table games each and about 8,000 slot machines.

    With all these tables and slot machines why gamble and drive out to Las Vegas which is 3 to even 4 hours away. Gambling in these Indian Casinos are the same as in Las Vegas. Poker, Black Jack, Craps, Baccarat, Video Poker, Slot Machines, and even Bingo are played at these Indian Casinos just like Las Vegas.  The betting and the odds are the same as well.

   Even if you are not the gambling type and you want to do something else you can. For example, at Morongo they have shopping outlets right next to the casino. There are night clubs at these Indian Casinos to go dancing and drink. There are nice restaurants to wine and dine. Even for you women you like to get pampered these Indian Casino's have Spa's. 

 In conclusion, why go to Las Vegas when the Indian Casinos are a quarter of the time away from you with the same gambling and entertainment value.

Texas Hold'em

      Understanding the basic game of Texas Hold'em is easy. You get two cards which are face down; you bet. Then there is a flop of three community cards that everyone uses; you bet. Then the turn comes which is the forth up card on the board that everyone uses; you bet. The final card the river the fifth up card on the board; you bet. With the two cards in your hand and the five that are on the board you make the best hand.
     
     This is the easy part knowing what is happening and why it is happening but the strategy and skill is what it all comes down to. Basic strategy is to play pairs and hope you hit three of a kind. This is called ABC Poker where you play what you are dealt and you have no what I like to say "creativity." Creativity is when you play suited connectors like 6 &7 of clubs trying to make a flush or straight. More creativity is basically bluffing in position. Bluffing is pretending you have a hand to scare other players away. Bluffing in position is when everybody checks to you and you bet just because nobody else has. In Texas Hold'em it is very easy to bluff. You just have to show strength by betting or portraying a story that adds up at the end. This is a very effective tool in this game.

    This game has become the most popular form of poker because it is shown on TV and played in all Poker rooms in casinos. People watching this game on TV really feel like they have a grasp on the game. But in truth they have no idea for two reasons. One reason is on TV they only show hands that are interesting or when there is a lot of action between two people like an all in. The second reason is when watching on TV you can see the cards of players at the table. People think they can play because they know how to read people but its easy when you know what they have.

   In conclusion, Texas Hold'em takes a minute to learn and a life time to Master.

    

GAMES FOR SUCKERS

There is a reason why you see all these huge Casino's its because of all the suckers that play the games that favor the house, "AKA the Casino." When gambling in a casino you must understand that you are not guaranteed to win in all likely hood you will be lucky to break even.  Unless you have an ornate ability to stop when your head but know one does.

Games for the Suckers  Roulette this is fun game you pick a number or a color you get 35/1 on a number and 1/1 on a color. There are 37 numbers including zero that means even if you put a dollar on all the numbers including zero you would lose two dollars ever spin. The only way you can win is to put money on a couple of numbers and hopefully it comes out.  What a Sucker game.

Black Jack is another sucker game. Even though there are distinct rules about how to play the game there is no guarantee that these rules will always pan out. For example hit all 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 when the dealer is showing a 7 or higher because the idea is the dealers hole card is always a 10. More examples of these "Rules" double down on all 11's and Split 8's and Ace's no matter what?  If you follow these rules you think you going to win because  you have a feeling of thinking I played right that's why I won. News flash you won because you got lucky. Not because you have found the magic of winning in this Sucker game of Black Jack.  

In conclusion, I hope this drop on knowledge to you people who play and gamble on these sucker games realize what is going on. Its not a big mystery why casinos make money and you don't.

See how it landed on Zero that's Irony

See how the dealer is showing a 6 doesn't mean he's going to bust

Bet on the Future

Depending on how much you follow sports or sports betting I suggest you place a bet that will last a whole entire season. This bet is called a future bet. You can pick any team or athlete from any sport and bet that they will win during a duration of a season. I find this to be fun and keeps me entertained for a whole season instead of one game.

Picking a team or an athlete to win something is very difficult. What you are doing is predicting the future and becoming a mind reader. What I do is pick a team that has not won in a while. Even though you think they should have won already in previous years.

One way to go about this is you go to sport book in Vegas or online and start looking for odds on the athlete or team you want to win. When the Lakers were good and Tiger never lost the odds were even money or 2-1 at best. Picking these people or teams is okay its safe because they are the favorite. But in my opinion I don't like this bet. You want to win big money you have to take an up incomer or a team that is on the rise. I call these athletes or teams sleepers. Sleepers are teams that people sort of know but don't think they can go all the way and win. The sleepers is the route to go because they usually get the best odds and you feel that you knew something that know one else knew.

Why go to a Casino when you can stay home?

 

 

You know going to casino's have  just become a big hassle. Especially where I live in Yorba Linda the closest casino to me is  the Gardens in Hawaiian Gardens. Nobody wants to go there its a bad element. When you go there all you can play are card games like Black Jack and Poker. This is the reason I have found a solution for myself.

Online Poker its the same as sitting at a table at a casino without the driving and having to smell or talk to annoying people. Guess what you can play right from your house without driving to a shitty area where you do not feel safe win or lose and believe me when you leave you feel like a loser even if you win.

Online poker has come a long way where you can play tournaments or even cash games at any time. Unlike a casino where there tournaments have only one a day and you have to wait to sit down and play in a cash game. What really annoys me about casino poker rooms in general is when you go to the counter and say I want to play a certain game and they have 7 or 8 people on the list and the place is empty with dealers just talking and they will not start a new game why not? You have room and dealers. Online Poker there is no waiting there are so many tournaments and cash games going. Even if  you just wanted to play for fun and not money that's possible. But not  at a casino. On Online Poker you can play for fun to improve your skills or there lack of.  You even enter into tournaments  for free and win entrees in other tournaments that are not.

All in all the experience of Online Poker to a Casino with poker you can't compare. The casino poker is far. Online is in the comfort of your house. The casino poker you have to talk to annoying people bitch about how he or she lost a hand. Online Poker you can just concentrate and have fun with no one bothering you.

Remember you gotta no when to hold'em and know when to fold'em





All these people are crowded its just uncomfortable



  

This what I'm talking about



Fantasy Football

Starting today the NFL season starts tonight September 5th with the Bronco's and Ravens playing in a rematch of the AFC championship game from last season. But all this means is fantasy ideas, drafts, and pools have already started.  Football used to be just picking the spread or the over/under on a game.  This is too boring for the average fan who wants to watch the game and make a little money to keep things interesting. Fantasy Football is not for your average fan who roots for one team and know one else.

When betting or playing Fantasy Football you need to leave your emotions aside for that  specific team you root for. You need to go after the best players not the best teams.
Fantasy Football pools are usually set up by a commissioner. The commissioner  asks people to join the league. Once the commissioner sets up the league and everybody has joined  there is a draft.  Which is the most important day in you're Fantasy Football  season. This is where you select your team. Drafting is essential because this determines what position players are on your team. For practice there are mock drafts which are used for practicing drafting in your league. I suggest you do these mock drafts so you can develop a strategy and figure out the rounds and rankings of players based on their position.  

Basic strategy is to choose running backs in the first round because they usually acquire the most points and possession of the ball besides the quarterbacks. The reason you do not pick a quarterback in the first round or even the second is because on your team roster you can have up too three running backs and only one quarterback. All in all you are trying to create an all-star team. There are shows dedicated to Fantasy Football including Fantasy Football on ESPN as well as NFL Network. Understanding that these shows can help you week to week on making decisions and knowing why or what you need to do for that particular week. There are 16 weeks in Fantasy Football just like the regular season. It least one of these weeks there is going to be a bye week for one of your players this is where it gets tricky you'll need to go to your free-agent pool which is the people that did not get drafted on draft day or you can make a trade for player who is not in the free-agent pool but they are on somebody else's team. Danger do not stress or change your team weekly just because one of your players is not playing that particular because when you go to the free-agent pool to get someone you then will have to drop someone and it turns into a domino effect every week trying to fix a little problem instead of letting it go and making your team not suffer.






Remember you got gotta play to win.
