IDN Poker Roulette Update

By Donny Wilkinson | 0 Comments

It’s been a while since we last looked at Roulette. No harm done because in terms of its online life Roulette has proven to be a remarkably stable game. What has changed a little though is the Single-Zero scene and that’s what we’ll focus on today.

Let’s re-cap the Roulette variations we’ll see on the web:

The standard American Roulette table has 38 numbers including 0 and 00 which yields a house edge of about 5.3%.

The European table does not have the 00 which means the house edge is shaved down to about 2.7%.

Some European games offer the “en-prison” rule: if the ball falls on O all even money bets are imprisoned; if an imprisoned bet wins on the next spin the bet is returned to the player. This player-friendly rule drops the house edge to about 1.4%.

A similar variation to “en-prison” is the French “la partage” rule where even money bets are split between the player and the house on 0. House edge for “la partage” is the same as “en-prison” at 1.4%.

There’s an Atlantic City variation on the American game which holds that on 0 or 00 all even money are …

Developer highlights strengths of Strip operators

By Donny Wilkinson | 0 Comments

The Strip is back, Steve Wynn said Monday.

The creator of The Mirage and Bellagio said the big Las Vegas casino operators emerged from the turbulent past year stronger, leaner and ready for a rebound.

“These were strong companies before Sept. 11 (2001),” Wynn said. “They were forced to deal with the aftermath of 9/11 and become more efficient. Because of the sharp drops in revenue, necessity was the mother of invention. The top companies now are all very strong, and they’re performing.”

Wynn is waiting for a federal government OK that would allow his company to sell stock to the public. Proceeds from the sale of as much as $408.3 million in Wynn Resorts stock would fund his $1.85 billion Le Reve megaresort and possible casino development in the Chinese enclave of Macau.

Wynn declined to discuss his company, the Le Reve project and its financing or Macau, citing a Securities and Exchange Commission-mandated quiet period that follows an application to sell stock to the public.

He agreed to share his thoughts on a range of issues facing the UFABet casino business as the industry’s biggest trade show, the Global Gaming Expo kicks off …

Ligaz11 Review of Poker Tournament Strategies

By Donny Wilkinson | 0 Comments

Sylvester Suzuki is the mysterious pen name of the author of this latest offering from gambling book publishing house Two Plus Two Publishing. Poker Tournament Strategies fills a gap in their publishing line, and a gap in the literature in general, by discussing strategies applicable to poker tournaments, with a special emphasis on those with lower entry costs.

This book divides the tournament types that one is likely to encounter into five categories, and devotes a section to each of them. They are: Progressive Stack Rebuy Tournaments, No Rebuy Tournaments, Constant Stack Rebuy Tournaments, Sudden Sayonara Tournaments, and Shootout Tournaments. The first three refer to whether rebuys and/or add-ons are allowed, and if so, how they work. The latter two refer to how opponents are eliminated.

Sudden Sayonara Tournaments are not “freezeout” events, where they are played until there is one player left. Rather, they are played until a predetermined number of players are left, at which time the prize money is divided up according to the ligaz11 chip count at that time. In Shootout Tournaments, each starting table is played down to one person. All of these table winners then meet to determine the prize payout. Needless …

FARGO: Betting operator says case isn’t over

By Donny Wilkinson | 0 Comments

FARGO – The founder of North Dakota’s first off-track betting business remained upbeat Friday after she was convicted of running an illegal gambling parlor.

Jurors in federal court found Susan Bala guilty on 12 felony counts, but the Racing Services owner said she had no regrets about going to trial instead of negotiating a plea.

“The case isn’t over,” a smiling Bala said as she left the courtroom.

Later, she told reporters that she had dealt with the deaths of her parents and serious illness in her family.

“There’s many things in life that come to you that you have to stand up to. And in my heart, I still feel good, and I’m at peace with myself,” she said. “That’s been the most important thing to me. This is one of these things that comes up that you have to deal with, and that’s what I’m going to do.”

Convictions

Bala and her company, Racing Services, were convicted of conducting an illegal gambling business, conspiracy to conduct an illegal gambling business, illegal wire transfer and nine counts of money laundering.

Jurors deliberated for about six hours.

Bala’s attorney, Mark Beauchene, said after the verdict that the parties in the …

Police Investigate Kahnawake Situs Judi Bola Casinos

By Donny Wilkinson | 0 Comments

Quebec provincial police are currently investigating the online casinos on the Kahnawake First Nations reserve to see if they fall within the boundaries of the law.

The goal of the investigation is to determine whether the casinos being operated on the reserve, which is located just outside Montreal, are illegal and should be shut down or if the province needs to rewrite existing gambling statutes to address the issue.

Current legislation does not explicitly prohibit with online wagering, but provincial authorities maintain that any gaming facility that is not officially licensed is illegal.

“The only one who has the right to operate a casino in Quebec is the government,” said Francois Moisan, spokesman for Quebec’s alcohol, racing and gaming board. “Others, such as religious groups and charities, can get licenses but our mandate is to control the licensing.”

As previously reported on WINNERonline, Mohawks on the Kahnawake reserve disagree with the government’s position, citing territorial sovereignty and legal uncertainty over online gambling.

That position may not keep the province at bay indefinitely, however. Montreal-based law professor Sunny Handa noted that the police have acted within their authority when they shut down other questionable casinos.

“They use pretty broad language in …

26 Games, Six Teams Standing and Bandar Togel Hongkong

By Donny Wilkinson | 0 Comments

The system has its critics but the play-offs gave the K-League regular season a final day to remember. Six teams out of 14 doing battle in the championship deciders may be a high percentage but without the games, we would have just been treated to the sight of Seongnam strolling to another title.

It is partly Seongnam’s fault that the system was reinstalled. After a 2003 season in which the Gyeonggi Province club won the league by 18 points, 2004 saw the rebirth of the play-offs. The following three seasons saw four teams fight it out but the K-League extended that to six at the start of 2007.

Seongnam finished first again and while there was no trophy, they did receive a consolation prize – the club will only face one opponent in a two-legged clash in November. Suwon Samsung Bluewings finished four points behind in second and are guaranteed a one-leg semi-final at home on October 31. Suwon’s opponent for that game will be the team that emerges from the battle between those who finished third to sixth.

Going into the final day of the regular season, two of those spots had been claimed …

Neill brave Andar Qiu Qiu but ignorant

By Donny Wilkinson | 0 Comments

Lucas Neill is no stranger to going out on a limb.

Neill, a regular in the Socceroos backline and one of Australia’s star turns in last year’s World Cup, has been hammered from all Andar Qiu Qiu quarters following his well-documented decision in the transfer window to snub Liverpool – and what turns out to be a possible appearance in the Champions League final – in favour of a relegation battle at cashed-up West Ham.

Before that his name was central to the debate of diving in modern football after conceding a stoppage time penalty to Italy’s Fabio Grosso in Australia’s heartbreaking second round World Cup loss to the eventual champions 11 months ago.

And now Neill’s at it again, this week boldly predicting an unblemished Australian success at July’s Asian Cup finals.

Critics might suggest the 29-year-old, in the midst of a relegation dogfight at the foot of the English Premier League table, is hardly in the best position to judge the relative merits of Group A challengers Thailand, Oman and Iraq.

But when asked about his expectations for Australia’s maiden AFC adventure, Neill responded by confidently boasting he expects Graham …

Premiership Bandarqq Betting

A new season kicks off this weekend and see’s the return of Walker’s Word. Another 10 months of non-stop top flight football action begins on Saturday with both the opening and closing matches ripe for picking a couple of shock results at great odds writes David Walker.

Saturday 19 August

Sheffield United vs Liverpool

Sheffield United make their Premiership return after a 12 year absence at lunch time, to kick off another 10 months of top flight action. The bookmakers are predicting a cakewalk for visiting Liverpool, but Blades boss Neil Warnock will have other ideas. During the 2002/03 Carling Cup, United beat Liverpool 2-1 at Bramall Lane, drew 0-0 at home in 1993/94 and beat the Reds 1-0 the previous year in the Premiership’s debut season. Liverpool may have one eye on their Champions League tie against Maccabi Haifa Bandarqq three days later which still hangs in the balance at 2-1 in the Reds favour.
