Survey #2 Says - Which Hand is the Toughest to Play in a Poker Tournament?



In the previous survey, I asked which hand tournament poker players hated the most. The winning hand was pocket Jacks.


However, in that survey, I left off A-K.


A-K or Big Slick used to be called "Walking Back to Houston." From what I've read, the reason it was called "Walking Back to Houston" is that in the big stakes games played in Dallas, players from Houston would come into town and play A-K strong. Unfortunately, they'd run into a pair of aces and go bust.


In this survey, I asked players which hand they would prefer to be dealt in the middle of a poker tournament. Again, it is your typical no limit tournament. You have an average chip stack, and are in middle position. Everyone folds to you.


Which hand would you prefer to get in this situation?


A-K unsuited or J-J?


Okay, before you read on, which hand would you prefer? Here you are acting first.


The results were as follows:


A-K unsuited 91% J-J 9%


Were you surprised by the results? Were you surprised anyone would pick pocket Jacks?
I am sure the reason players hate pocket Jacks is because they have experienced a card hitting the flop that is higher than a Jack way to often. It will happen over 65% of the time. Also, I am sure that they have experienced times when no card was higher than a Jack, but they ran into their opponent hitting a set on the flop. Not good. But it's happened to all of us.

How to Manage Your Sports Betting Bankroll - Essential For Long Term Profits


If you want to profit in the long term from betting on sports, then it does not matter how good your picks are if you do not use good bankroll management. In this article, I'll share with you 3 great ways to manage your bankroll.


Constant Percentage Betting


This is the most common way to manage your bankroll. Do not make the fatal mistake that many "gamblers" do which is to bet your entire account or even half of it on one game. These types of punters are always reloading their accounts and losing money, hand over fist for eternity! They are a bookie's dream!


Instead, you should bet only a small percentage. Even 10% is actually too much because a short run of events going against you can severely impact your balance and further increase your risk.
Most pro-bettors will bet about 2% of their balance, of what they can afford to lose. This might sound small but this is low risk and will allow you to realise your long term profit potential.



Dynamic Scaling


This is a further step from constant percentage betting. Let's say you start with $100 in your account and you bet $2 per bet. When your account rises to a balance of $150, the $2 bets are no longer representing 2% of your total balance. You are actually not taking enough risk and your profits are less than what they could be.


So you should scale up your bets dynamically as your balance changes. In this case you should now be betting $3 each time instead.


Constant Profit Betting


Some bettors (not many) will instead go with constant profit. So if they are betting on a match with really long odds, they will stake less. If they are betting on a hot favourite (short odds) then they will bet more.


They will do it in a way so that the winnings will be the same every time.


The downside is that the stake on each bet (the risk) will be different for each bet. If you go with this strategy I advise you set a maximum risk limit e.g. 5% of your balance.


The only way to win consistently at sports betting is to have a logical, scientific approach. Discover the explosive secrets of how to win 97% of your sports bets from a statistics doctorate and betting professional at http://www.sportbetchamp.com/

Roulette

Playing Roulette Or Dancing With the Devil



Even the name roulette has a risque sound to it - and indeed the origins of roulette are steeped in diabolical intent. It is usually agreed that the first roulette wheel was invented in 1655 - a fine experiment in attempting to discover a perpetual motion machine by Blaise Pascal playing roulette a brilliant mathematician. I really think he came pretty close as I was certain the wheel was never going to stop when I placed my largest ever wager on a roulette wheel in the Las vegas Hilton last year.


Unfortunately the wheel did eventually stop and with blatant disregard to what I thought were the laws of probability it landed on black for the 6th spin in a row. But alas I was wrong the rules I was playing to were available on "how to make a killing in Vegas" type websites all over the internet which were mostly made up - in retrospect I would have been much better looking at mathematical case studies at universities and colleges. So if you want some handy tips on playing roulette -


always play on a European Table - the odds are way better
always have a goal - if you win or lose 'x' amount -that's the end of the night
don't drink too much when gambling winning streaks can turn into losing streaks very quickly

Have fun don't let gambling run your life

If you end up playing roulette - remember to minimise the house edge - if you have any choice play at a European table - it has one less '0' which makes a significant difference, But anyway have fun - there is certainly no truth to the rumour that the Blanc brothers sold their souls for the secrets of roulette before opening their first casino. My christian buddy has also kindly pointed out that if you add up all the numbers on a roulette wheel - 1-37 - you get the number 666 - the number of the beast apparently. Well I'm going to risk it because it's fun !


If you're looking to make money out of roulette it might be worth checking out the roulette killer software. It currently has a money back guarantee so you can check without any risk. I'm currently making enough money with it to carry on risking dancing with the devil!

The 10 Common Pitfalls of Roulette Systems


Here are the ten most common types of roulette system, and why you should beware of them:


Progressive betting system: The most common of all. Lose on the first bet? Just double it and double again until you win. That's all well and good but eventually you will hit the table limit, or your own wallet's limit, and then you are bust.

Pure chance: Wait for five reds then bet on black! Does not work.

Number patterns: These systems rely on tiny discrepancies in the roulette wheel, or in the case of online casinos, in the roulette software, which cause numbers to come up in patterns. The idea is to write down the last ten spins and then use a formula to calculate the most likely number to come next. Unfortunately wheels are now so closely measured that you have a higher chance of being hit by a meteorite than of making money from this.

Wheel measuring devices: A number of electronic devices are on sale that apparently measure the roulette wheel and determine where it will stop. The problem with these is that first they do not work and secondly if you are ever spotted trying to use one you will be kicked out of the casino and will be very lucky if you avoid prosecution.

"Free" systems: All the free roulette systems on the internet rely on one factor. When you use the system you will first sign up to their recommended casino, for which the kind author gets handsomely rewarded. Avoid free systems and instead choose a system which works in any casino
.
Martingale: This system is one of the oldest, and probably the most simple. It relies on you doubling your bet so that each win cancels out the previous losses. As per number 1 this will cause you to go bust in the end.

Complex rules: Some systems are so complex that they are almost impossible to model mathematically. While this makes them difficult to disprove it unfortunately doesn't overcome the fact that they can't beat the house edge.

Roulette Software: Complex roulette software can record each winning number and suggest the next one for you. In effect these software packages are simply doing what one of the above systems is doing. No more no less. Don't expect any more success than by doing the guessing yourself.

Magic number: Often touted as the way to make money from the bookies machine, this system re-lies on the fact that once a certain number comes up it is always followed by another one in a strict pattern. This is clearly ludicrous and if it were ever the case would be fixed immediately.
Cheating(!): Finally, the best and worst of all. Yes, cheating can help you win but 1) it is practically impossible to do at roulette, and 2) you will be prosecuted for trying.

Avoid the roulette systems above and enjoy playing roulette.

Passive Income

Creating A Passive Income Online


To me, passive income means doing something once and then earning for a long time to come. A pop star, writer, movie star or rental property tycoon are examples, where they do something once and earn for many years o that one piece of work. In the past, this has only been available to a select few, thanks to the internet, it's now possible for anyone to experience the beauty that is, passive residual income.


This is something that you can start to do part time, then gradually this 'part time' passive income opportunity will eclipse your full time job and you will never look back again. Another benefit of having your own residual income business online, is the 'risk free' element involved. A small start up cost, with an even smaller monthly fee and you're away. And if it doesn't work, quit and that's the end of it. You do not have to take out a loan or re-mortgage your house.


If it's such a small risk, why isn't everyone doing it? I hear you cry. Well, the answer to that is simple, people are happy with their lot in life, no, sorry, people aren't happy with their lot in life, they're not happy, but equally, they are not willing to do what's needed, to change their life. As the old saying goes, 'If you keep doing what you've been doing, you're going to keep getting what you've been getting' To succeed, you must change something, it may be as small as working online for half an hour each evening at first. It drives me up the wall, when people start an online business and do very little, then wonder why they aren't earning a fortune. Doh! Follow the step by step, stick to it and you WILL be successful.



There are hundreds of passive income opportunities out there, on and off line. But the Internet has made the dream of passive residual income a reality. Today, creating a passive income online has never been easier, but there are some things to look out for.



If having your own residual income business appeals to you, a little bit of knowledge and a whole lot of drive, is all you need. With every residual income opportunity, there needs to be~



1. A product or service that people need and want
2. A step by step, PROVEN system that is so easy to follow, even your pet dog could implement the techniques.
3. Support and materials, online, offline, or indeed both.
4. History, I would never enter an passive income opportunity without a history of other people being successful with the company. In a new business, I know someone's got to be the crash test dummy, call me selfish, but I'll leave that part to someone else.
5. The opportunity to earn as much money as your heart desires.


If the opportunity checks all these boxes, you just need to ask yourself a few questions~


1. Am I going to do what it takes to succeed?
2. Have I got the desire to succeed?
3. Why do I want to succeed, are my reasons strong enough?
4. Will I stumble and fall at the first hurdle, or will I pick my self up and carry on with relentless determination?
5. Do I really want to change my life and live the life of my dreams?


If you answer these 5 questions correctly and you all know what the answers should be, you are set for success and a recurring monthly income that will change yours and your families lives forever. Go Get It!

Internet Marketing

The Truth About Making Money with Internet Marketing

Most people who get started with Internet Marketing often struggle before learning how to make money online. It's been reported that as many as 95% of small business owners involved in Internet Marketing fail to ever create a consistent income.


As a result there seems to be a prevailing mindset that it's hard to make money in the Internet marketing arena. Actually Internet marketing does not need to be complicated and is really a very easy process when you do it right.


So why do so many Internet marketers still struggle to make money online?

Possibly the problem is that many of them seem to do what my Grandmother used to call putting the cart before the horse. In other words, they have the Internet marketing process out of order.


Before you can start earning an income with Internet marketing you'll have to start connecting with your audience. Your primary goal as an Internet marketer should not be just to sell products. It should be to make a connection with your customers or subscribers. You have to develop a "connections mindset" and not a "selling mindset". Once you make the right connections with your audience the sales will begin to follow and it won't be hard to make money in Internet Marketing.


The best way to connect with your customers is by providing them with unique and useful information so that they can make an informed decision when they buy a new product. The bond that you create with your audience allows them to feel like they can trust you to provide information that actually helps them accomplish their goals and that you won't try to sell them crappy products just to make a few extra bucks.


For instance, let's say a new Internet marketing products is getting ready to launch next week - as usual. You already know that your subscribers are being swamped with a ton of emails from all of your competitors. The problem is that they're all the same old stuff with not an original idea in the bunch. If your subscribers are like me then most of those emails probably go right in the trash. I'm not going to read the same email 100 times...and neither is your subscriber.


So how do you break through all of that garbage and really seize the opportunity to make money online? You take the time and the effort to create unique content for your subscribers. Whether you create a short report, an mp3 or a video somehow you need to show your customers that they really are worth your time and effort to provide them with unique content.


This valuable content helps your customers feel more comfortable about making careful purchase decisions. When it's time to make a sale the customer is much more inclined to buy from you because you've earned his or her trust. When you establish a relationship built on trust you soon see that it's really not that hard to make money in Internet marketing.

Home Businesses

Home businesses give the average person a chance to become very successful. Home businesses will be the next big thing in the future. Many people are failing to see the huge opportunities home businesses can offer. There are many benefits to starting or going into business for yourself. The tax benefits alone can help you out tremendously. Not to mention all the money you can make with your own business. Many people have a negative view on this type of industry but they are solely mistaken.



This industry gives everyone and I mean everyone the chance to become successful for little or no amount of risk. This is something that is unheard of. Just think about it for a second. Where else can you make hundreds of thousands of dollars for a minimal investment. No where else can you this. Before if you wanted to start a business you at least needed $20,000 dollars.


With a home business you only at most need a couple of grand, that's it. And you can get started. Many people fail to grasp this fact and fail to take advantage of the awesome opportunity this industry offers the average hard working individual.


Many people are not making the type of money they want at their day jobs. Many people are depending entirely are one source of income. Normally that sole source of income comes from their jobs. They are badly misleveraged. Everything they own depends on their income from their jobs. Their house, food, cars, clothing, and lifestyle depends on only one source of income their jobs.


When people lose their jobs they find out how badly they were misleveraged. Once they realize this it is normally too late for them. They normally have to take a lower paying job and give up the perks and the lifestyle they used to lead before. It is a harsh reality to be in. But this can all be avoided by creating a secondary source of income for yourself in your spare time.


Many people are beginning to wake up to the harsh realities that many of our white collar jobs are being exported overseas and corporations are downsizing and laying off employees just to save money. Many people are keeping their day jobs and starting a business part time. This is a very smart way to go. Creating that secondary income is a great way to ensure your family and your lifestlye can continue just in case anything were to happen at your job.


Times are changing and those who do not change with the times will get passed up by those who are willing to change with the times. Why do you think we have 20 year old billionaires but at the same time we still have baby boomers still struggling to make ends meet each month. The reason is because times are changing and those who are willing to change with the times will move ahead and those who don't will get left behind. Home businesses are a great way to start to change with the times.
