10 commandments of gambling

Google+
Email
Print

Thou shalt not cheat

No explanation necessary.
Thou shalt honor thy gambling debts

A true gentleman honors his debts, especially gambling debts. When making a bet with another person you are putting your honor on the line. If you lose, you pay. No excuses!
Thou shalt expect to lose

The Las Vegas Strip was not built by winners. Even with good rules and strategy the odds are still usually in the casino’s favor. So don’t get mad if you lose. Think of it as the price you pay for entertainment.
Thou shalt trust the odds, not hunches

If you want to maximize your odds then believe in mathematically proven strategies, not hunches. If hunches are so great why are there so many psychics working the Boardwalk in Atlantic City as opposed to playing?
Thou shalt not over-bet thy bankroll

Before you gamble determine what you can safely afford to gamble with - as entertainment money. Stick to your limits and don’t gamble with money you need for necessities.
Thou shalt not believe in betting systems

For every one legitimate gambling writer there are a hundred charlatans trying to sell worthless betting systems promising an easy way to beat the casinos. I know it sounds like a cliché, but if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.
Thou shalt not hedge thy bets

Hedge bets usually carry a high house edge. For example, never take insurance in blackjack and never bet the any craps or any seven in craps. Exceptions can be made for insuring life changing amounts of money.
Thou shalt covet good rules

Rules vary from casino to casino. To improve your odds know good rules from bad and then seek out the best rules possible.
Thou shalt not make side bets

Side bets are sucker bets. Period.
Thou shalt have good gambling etiquette

Gambling is a lot more fun when people are polite and respect each other. It is also good etiquette to tip for good service.

Dynasty's Futura Too Strong in the J&B Met

8th at KNW G1 J&B Met (R2.5m) [2000m (T)] Winner: Futura (SAf), c, 4 by Dynasty (SAf)

THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT
With the withdrawal of early race favorite Legislate (SAf) (Dynasty {SAf}) just three days before the race, the G1 J&B Met was billed as a showdown between G1 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate winner Futura (SAf) (Dynasty {SAf}) and South African Triple Crown hero Louis the King (SAf) (Black Minnaloushe). While that duel never truly materialized, Futura nonetheless provided the thrilling finish the large and vibrant crowd had been waiting for. Traveling midpack in the two path behind a docile pace, Futura and jockey Bernard Fayd’Herbe opted for an inside route as the field swung into the straight. Futura burst to the lead between runners in deep stretch as Louis the King began to toil under pressure, and the bay drew clear to a decisive 2 1/4-length score over the 7-year-old Gold Onyx (NZ) (Black Minnaloushe), with the pace-setting Helderberg Blue (SAf) (Jet Master {SAf}) sticking on for third. Louis the King checked in sixth. Trainer Brett Crawford, who was winning his second ‘Met’, told SportingPost.co.za, “This horse has just done everything right. It is his third Grade 1 win in 11 starts. Those horses don’t come by often in our lifetimes. Thanks to the owners and the team. A great effort.”

The winner of five of his seven starts through the end of his 3-year-old campaign last year, Futura was third in his group-race debut in the G3 Cup Trial at Clairwood in June. Third behind Legislate when trying Grade 1 company for the first time in the Durban July, Futura bounced back to take the G1 Champions Cup at Greyville July 26. Put away for a winter holiday, Futura checked in third behind Legislate in his 4-year-old debut in the G2 Green Point S. here Nov. 22, and was coming into this prestigious event after picking up his second Group 1 in the Queen’s Plate over Louis the King three weeks ago.

SUPER BOWL XLIX:
NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS VS SEATTLE SEAHAWKS



HERE ARE SOME FACT OF SUPER BOWL:
The last time the Patriots played a Super Bowl in Glendale, AZ they lost to the Giants! They do not play very well when the crowd or weather doesn't favor them. Also the Seahawks fans travel very well and they are around a 1000 miles closer. Expect there to be more Seahawks fans at this Super Bowl where the defending champs are trying to go back to back!
The Seahawks had 5 turnovers and were down 16-0 at half time against arguably the best QB and offense in the NFL, the Packers. Their defense hung tough after turnovers and somehow kept stopping them from the end zone. They continued on to win again with heart and soul. What happens if they keep their turnovers down in the Super Bowl????
The Patriots are not going to score all they did against a the Seahawks like they did against a terrible Colts defense. So this can be trouble for them also. New England at times has struggled to stop the run and Marshawn Lynch thrives on this! Plus with all the Patriots in the spotlight it is going to be to hard to overcome! Brady will be rushed more and Gronk will be covered.
Finally did you know the Patriots were ranked #11 in offense this season and the Seahawks were ranked #9. Plus the Seahawks were the Best defense by far in the NFL with only 267 total yards given up a game. The Patriots were ranked #13.

I should not make it sound one sided but I strongly believe in the Seattle Seahawks go back to back!


Super Bowl Pick: Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl


Prop Bets:
Heads Coin Toss (5 of the last 6 were Heads)
MVP: Cam Chancellor 33-1 & Richard Sherman 33-1( if the Seahawks win it will be because of defense)
Total Yards Passing: Brady Under 260.5
Brady 3 or more int 7-1 odds worth a shot
