I'm also a big fan of winning money. I guess that's why I like playing the roulette software below. I get to play roulette and I get to win. What could be better? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My little take on roulette is that you play an online casino and the payout is around 99%. That's way better than the 90% you get in a casino. Now, you just have play with fake money until you're hot. once you're hot, switch to the real money and clean up. It's not that scientific, but it seems to work for me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Winning with Roulette software, from a math major&lt;br /&gt;I've found a roulette system that seems to work. It's not very scientific, but it has the benefit of having the odds on your side. Here's the deal. To win at roulette, you need greater than 100% Payouts. It's simple. The problem lies in trying to get these golden greater than 100% payouts. Casinos don't really like doing this, because they end up losing money. However, they bend their rules every now and then. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Casinos offer $200 signup bonuses when you download their roulette software. You need to give these a go. Basically, you install the software and deposit $200. They give you an additional $200. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The free casino slot loyalty bonuses are also really cool. Once you've signed up and played for awhile, you can get 35% extra money when you make your deposits. Check out Commodore Casino's website, but I think that they do this on Wednesdays. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So you want to download Roulette software?&lt;br /&gt;Here's some flash roulette software from G-FED for you to try out. To get the whole package, click on the commodore casino links.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11035780-116608096070747448?l=ch4ncegambling.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ch4ncegambling.blogspot.com/feeds/116608096070747448/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11035780&amp;postID=116608096070747448' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11035780/posts/default/116608096070747448'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11035780/posts/default/116608096070747448'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ch4ncegambling.blogspot.com/2006/12/free-casino-slot-for-download.html' title='Free Casino Slot for Download'/><author><name>Jedi Master</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02739092925833408539</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11035780.post-116608085572319647</id><published>2006-12-13T23:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-13T23:20:55.733-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;h2&gt;online gambling strategy - Winning at BlackJack&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ch4nce.com/?op=search&amp;amp;topic=blackjack"&gt;&lt;img title="blackjack" height="50" alt="blackjack" src="http://ch4nce.com/images/topics/bj.jpg" width="80" align="right" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;font-size:85%;"&gt;By &lt;a class="light" href="http://ch4nce.com/user/random%20dude"&gt;random dude&lt;/a&gt;, Section &lt;a class="section_link" href="http://ch4nce.com/section/blackJack"&gt;Blackjack&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Posted on Tue Sep 19, 2006 at 05:33:46 PM PST&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="introtext"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BlackJack is a simple game.

The 2:1 payout on blackjack pushes the odds closer to 98%. The "Three [3] – 7’s of Spades" bonus is like an extra 3.5 cents/hand. If you're playing $1.00 hands, the "Three [3] – 7’s of Spades" bonus increases the odds by 3.5%. The total odds become 101%!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So playing Blackjack is good online gambling strategy. What this means is this. If you play BlackJack with $1.00 hands, and play according to the table above, eventually, you should make money. The thing that puts the odds over the 100% barrier (and makes it good online gambling strategy) is the Three [3] – 7’s of Spades bonus. In order to get this bonus, you'll have to play a fair number of hands. Still, it means that eventually, you'll come out ahead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a cool Flash BlackJack Game.

I don't know.

Therefore, a "soft 17" is a hand that contains an ace and a 6. A player with an ace has the advantage of being able to change the ace's value to count as 1 after drawing another card. When a hand contains an ace that counts as 1, it is called a "hard hand".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Online gambling strategy - Hit or Stand?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table border="1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;If The Dealers Open Card Is: &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Hit On: &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Stand On:&lt;/td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;3, 4, 5 or 6 &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;11 and lower Soft 17 and lower &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;12 and higher Soft 18 and higher&lt;/td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;7, 8, 9, 10 or Ace &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;16 and lower Soft 17 and lower &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;17 and higher Soft 18 and higher&lt;/td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table border="1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;b&gt;When Should you Split?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;If The Dealers Open Card Is: &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Split:&lt;/td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;2’s, 3’s, 8’s and Aces&lt;/td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;8, 9, 10 or Ace &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;8’s and Aces&lt;/td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Online gambling strategy - When Should you Double Down?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table border="1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;If Your First Two [2] Cards Total: &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Double If The Dealers Open Card Is:&lt;/td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;11 &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Anything except an Ace&lt;/td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;10 &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Anything except a 10 or an Ace&lt;/td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;9 &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;2 to 8&lt;/td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;7 or 8 &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;3 to 6&lt;/td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;2-6 &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Don't Double Down&lt;/td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The online gambling strategy guidelines provided here are just outlines of a simple blackjack strategy.

A game full of richness and glory. It is two great forces locked into an endless struggle. What is life, except a medium in which to play craps? Craps is more than just a game. It's a metaphor for life. Would life exist without craps? I think not, ladies and gentlemen, I think not. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is "roulette black jack craps" just a game? How can we pin down the richness and fullness of this seemingly simple explosion of pure energy and delight into the words "just a game". To even contemplate this crime is a travesty I tell you, a travesty of epic proportions. The idea that something so great can be described with the same word used to define the super bowl or the world series of baseball is enough to tie my insides into knots. &lt;br /&gt;Does the baseball hall of fame, the mystery and skill of the great baseball players compare with the skill of the worlds great roulette, black jack, craps players? To even answer this question is an insult to my favority and hallowed life quest. I wish I could shout from the highest rooftop that craps is not appreciated enough and needs to rise up to take the place in society that it truly deserves. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Roulette, black jack, and craps is more than just a game. It's a battle against the odds; its a struggle against fate. As you approach the table with your pockets full of chips, you have your first glimpse of the green battlefield. Breathe deeply and savor the feeling. Inhale deeply from this cup which is life. As you approach the table, be calm. Don't retract from the realization that the table represents a world of possibilities, representing the essence of life as we know it. The table will be our salvation or our downfall. The fates will decide. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you make the Roulette, black jack, and craps Pit boss sweat? Can you figure out the roulette, black jack, and craps table? Is the table hot? Is everyone looking at you with fear in their eyes because they think you're weird? Or do they truly comprehend your dedication to this game? Are a lot of numbers being thrown and points being made? All these subtleties add a rich tapestry of emotion to the chaotic perfection and beauty that now surrounds you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bet low until you understand the roulette, black jack, and craps tables. Once you know the table, and know how the dice are running, you can start to bet accordingly. Bets on the six and eight are good for a hot table. Don't come bets are good for a cold table. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's good to have your own chant. Slight humming sends out the right vibrations to the table. It brings the gods of luck to me. People know this. They can sense it. I notice that people always leave the table when I come. I think that they sense that they are near one of the greats of the experience I humbly refer to as craps and they do not feel worthy of the experience. I tell them to stay but sometimes they run away I have to chase after them and pull them back. They don't understand my greatness at the roulette, black jack, and craps tables. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's fun teaching people how to play roulette, black jack, and craps. Quite often, people aren't ready for my lessons and they tell me I'm weird and they leave. Put all great teachers are often misunderstood so I don't mind. Every now and then, I find a group of receptive listeners. They gather around, buy me drinks and laugh and laugh. They usually say "Show us again the dance to channel the energy of the craps table!" It's a good dance, and I don't blame them for wanted to see it quite a few times. Sometimes they also ask to be taught about the true meaning of craps. I teach these few souls and acheive the lightness and growth that we all yearn for but which so few achieve. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's days like this that make it all worthwhile.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11035780-116608070120540487?l=ch4ncegambling.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ch4ncegambling.blogspot.com/feeds/116608070120540487/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11035780&amp;postID=116608070120540487' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11035780/posts/default/116608070120540487'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11035780/posts/default/116608070120540487'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ch4ncegambling.blogspot.com/2006/12/craps-is-metaphor-for-life.html' title='Craps is a Metaphor for Life...'/><author><name>Jedi Master</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02739092925833408539</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11035780.post-115842924741833443</id><published>2006-09-16T10:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-09-16T10:54:07.430-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Free casino stuff</title><content type='html'>These dudes &lt;a href="http://www.bloglines.com/blog/Free-Casino"&gt;free casino dude&lt;/a&gt; just came out with an interesting site about a free casino.

The first is a hotel and casino located in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada on what is now the Fremont Street Experience. The casino was named for its founder, Benny Binion and had 366 rooms, three restaurants and a rooftop pool. The other set of horseshoe casinos is owned by Hurrahs. Here's the complete story for those interested. There's actually quite a bit of juicy gossip (jail time, tax evasion, and a good old fashioned heroin addiction). &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The history of the Horeshoe Casino&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Benny bought the Eldorado Club and Apache Hotel in 1951, opening them as Binion's Horseshoe. It was the first casino to have carpeting and comps available to all gamblers. Binion also instituted high table limits, even dropping table limits completely at times, which was an immediate hit. &lt;p&gt;Benny served time in Leavenworth Penitentiary from 1953 to 1957 for tax evasion. He had to sell his share of the casino to pay approximately $5 million in legal costs. As a convicted felon, Benny was no longer allowed to hold a gambling license, though he remained on the Binion's payroll as a consultant. &lt;p&gt;Binion's entire family was involved in the casino. His wife, Teddy Jane Binion, managed the casino cage and his sons Jack Binion and Ted Binion would become president and manager, respectively. His daughter, Becky Behnen, managed the kitchen. Ted was removed from all casino involvement after his addiction to heroin and other drug use came out into the open. &lt;p&gt;In 1970, Jack (on of the sons) began hosting the World Series of Poker at the Horseshoe. Eventually, the WSOP became the largest set of poker tournaments in the world. In 1988, the Horseshoe expanded by acquiring The Mint, a high-rise hotel on the west side of the casino. The expansion of the casino from this purchase provided room for Binion's first poker room. &lt;p&gt;In 1998, more family fueds insued. Becky Behnen (the daughter) took over the presidency after a legal battle with Jack Binion (a son). The battle ended with Jack being bought out while retaining a 1% interest in the casino so that he could retain his Nevada Gaming license. Jack moved on to other gambling interests. &lt;p&gt;Behnen implemented some rather serious cost-cutting measures, most of which were unpopular with the gamblers. The most notable measure was the removal of the Horseshoe exhibit that held $1 million in $10,000 bills, and had served as a backdrop for free pictures of visitors. The visitors were pissed about this. Behnen also made changes in the distribution of the money from the entry fees in the World Series of Poker that were unpopular with the casino dealers and closed a popular restaurant in the casino. Personally, I think tht the removal of the $1 million in $10,000 bills was kind of a silly idea. It was fun to get a picture with the money, and it didn't cost the horseshoe casino much. it wasn't like they has to give it away as a prize. It just had to sit there... &lt;p&gt;Next, Behnen failed to keep sufficient funds available to pay winners in the casino cage. As one could imagine, people weren't too happy to lean that the casino didn't have enough money on hand to payout if people won. Finally, Bob Stupak tried to redeem his $5,000 casino tokens. Becky refused to exchange them for cash. People didn't like that either... &lt;p&gt;The casino became mired in debt and was closed on January 9, 2004. More drama ensued as U.S. Marshalls and Nevada Gaming Control Board Agents removed cash from the casino cage. The casino hadn't paid union benefits to it's workers. The hotel closed its doors the following day. &lt;p&gt;In March 2004, Harrah's Entertainment purchased Binion's Horseshoe and immediately Harrah's Entertainment sold Binion's Horseshoe on March 11, 2004 to MTR Gaming Group. Harrah's retained the rights to the Horseshoe brand and the World Series of Poker when it sold the casino and hotel, but sold the Binion's brand. The land the casino sits on is still leased from multiple owners. &lt;p&gt;MTR Gaming remodeled both the casino and hotel after the purchase. One aspect of the remodelling was to replace the worn carpet with surplus carpeting that Benny Binion had ordered and stored since the initial carpeting. On March 11, 2005, MTR Gaming Group officially took control of the operation of the casino and renamed it Binion's Gambling Hall &amp;amp; Hotel. &lt;p&gt;Wow, I'm not sure if you followed all that, but let's just say that the casino has a checkered past. No mob connections that I can see, but who knows what's behind the scenes...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Modern Day Horseshoe casino&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Horseshoe casino brand is owned by Hurrahs and comprises four different casinos: Horseshoe Casino Tunica, Horseshoe Casino Hammond, Horseshoe Casino Bossier City, and Horseshoe Casino Council Bluffs. here's a blurb about each casino...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Horseshoe Casino Tunica&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Slot machines&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Horseshoe Casino Tunica has over 2,000 slots. With those kinds of numbers, there is a good chance that you'll find the games you're looking for. Horseshoe casino Tunica boasts the latest loose slots, (of coure the term "loose" is relative). I put the payout of the loose slots at a hair over 100%. So... if you find them, you'll win. But good luck finding them... &lt;p&gt;The newest machines on the floor are listed below: &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;The Honeymooners &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Yahtzee, &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Playboy &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Winning for Dummies &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Price Is Right &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;American Bandstand &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Traditional Favorites &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Video Poker ($.25, $.50, $1, $5) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Double Diamonds &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sizzlin' 7s &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Red, White and Blue &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Double Harrah's &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;10x Pay, 5x Pay &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Magic Carpet Ride &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Triple Diamonds, Progressives &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;I've tried the slots out. They're OK. &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Video Poker ($.25, $.50, $1, $5) &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Horseshoe Casino Tunica video poker terminals are pretty self explanatory. The payouts are about what you'd expect and the music is straight out of a Atari video game from the mid 80's. Try the video poker Horseshoe Casino Tunica video poker if you need a break from the tables (and crave that silly music). &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Poker &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Horseshoe Casino Tunica has weekly No Limit Hold 'Em tournaments every Monday and Thursday at 7 p.m. Buy-ins are $65, and re-buys are $40. The tournament as a a guaranteed $2,000 first prize. I had fun playing. &lt;p&gt;Horseshoe Casino Tunica also has Blackjack, Craps, Roulette, Caribbean Stud Poker, Let It Ride Poker and Three Card Poker tables. If you want to learn a new game, Horseshoe Casino Tunica will be more than happy to introduce you to some fast-paced excitement. This is kind of nice of them. They gave me personal instruction on how to play Caribbean Stud Poker. It was fun!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Roulette &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Roulette is perhaps the most popular game played worldwide. It is played in every major casino and is the primary game played in Europe. The game consists of a wheel marked with numbers 1 through 36 and American Roulette has a 0 and 00. The numbered portion of the layout is called the inside. Additional bets can be made outside the numbers and this area is called the outside. In this area you can also bet just black or red numbers. The Romans are said to have gambled with spinning chariot wheels and various "wheel of fortune" devices. Pascal, a French mathematics scholar, invented the game in the 17th century as an offshoot of perpetual motion devices. Now it's your turn to build on the history of the game. Make your mark on one of our two Roulette tables during your next stay! &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Craps &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking for a good time? Craps is your game.

It's a wildly popular and extremely gregarious game, but a first-time visit to a Craps table can be a daunting experience. However, after a brief overview of the rules, and five minutes at a table, even novice gamers begin to appreciate the excitement of the Craps tables. &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Horseshoe Casino Roulette &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Roulette is perhaps the most popular game played worldwide. It is played in every major casino and is the primary game played in Europe. The game consists of a wheel marked with numbers 1 through 36 and American Roulette has a 0 and 00. The numbered portion of the layout is called the inside. Additional bets can be made outside the numbers and this area is called the outside. In this area you can also bet just black or red numbers. Here at Hammond, we have four Roulette tables. &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Horseshoe Casino Blackjack &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take part in the fun with a fast-paced game of 21. Also known as Blackjack, this is a very popular card game enjoyed worldwide and played for generations. The object is to get as close to 21 as possible while having your hand closer to 21 than the dealer's. Everyone in Blackjack plays against the dealer. While Blackjack is basically a simple game, its strategy can be complex and often reflects each player's personality. &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Horseshoe Casino Three Card Poker &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Three Card Poker is a variation of poker just like Double Down Stud and Let It Ride. With the exception of two pair, this game uses the traditional poker rankings with a couple of exceptions. You only need three consecutive cards to make a straight and only three of one suit to make a flush. In this game a straight is higher than a flush. The payoffs are determined by the pay schedule printed on the table layout. And you can win at any of our three tables! &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Horseshoe Casino Video Poker &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking for poker, but at a table for one?

The maximum wager is limited to $100,000, which puts our betting range (minimum to maximum) ahead of most casinos in the world, including those in Atlantic City or Las Vegas. Of the nine games on our casino floor, five of them are the Dragon Bet version, which allows a popular side bet that pays odds, depending on the spread of the banker/player scores. &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Horseshoe Casino Caribbean Stud Poker &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Caribbean Stud Poker offers players the challenge of poker, but uses an easier-to-play format, plus the first-ever progressive play jackpot offered with a table game. Caribbean Stud Poker is a casino favorite, partly because it's so simple to learn, but mostly because of the unique poker excitement this innovative game provides. What makes Caribbean Stud stand out is the opportunity to make an optional side bet, where you can win all (or a portion) of an expanding progressive jackpot. This is the easiest way to play poker. And we have two tables for you to win at! &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Horseshoe Bossier City&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Horseshoe Casino Slots&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With more than 1,600 slots to choose from, you're sure to find your favorite.

It's easy to find your favorite &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Horseshoe Council Bluffs &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like the Horseshoe Council Bluffs because of the greyhound racing. As far as I'm concerned, the rest of the stuff is kind of boring. But, watching the greyhounds, not that's fun! It's like being at the track.

However, these buildings, grounds, and facilities were really expensive to built, and are even more costly to maintain.&lt;br /&gt;Online casinos, on the other hand, do not have pricey overhead expenses at all, and are able to pass these savings on to their customers. For this reason, online casinos offer payout rates that are considerably higher than those offered at brick and mortar casinos in Las Vegas- or anywhere else in the world, for that matter. Online casino payout rates are compiled on a monthly basis by the Online Players Association (OPA), an internet casino players’ advocacy group. According to the OPA payout compilation for this month, the following online casinos offer the highest payout rates in the internet gaming industry:&lt;br /&gt;Tribes do not have to report publicly their profit or what is paid out to patrons. In six years, casino-style gambling on Indian land in California has grown to a $7 billion-a-year industry, according to the Indian Gaming Industry Report.&lt;br /&gt;So it pays to ensure that customers think they have a fair shot at winning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A survey of the county's Indian casinos showed two – Valley View and Pauma in North County – post any sort of payout percentages, and then only on a handful of thousands of slot machines.&lt;br /&gt;One neon sign at Pauma reads “97.4 percent payback” (with maximum bet) above several Triple Double machines; another reads “98 percent payback” for certain Bar/7 machines. At Valley View, a lone neon sign reads “98 percent payback” above Triple Red Hot machines.&lt;br /&gt;Viejas' Frank said most local casinos “would probably supply (payout information) if they were asked.”&lt;br /&gt;“We don't often get questioned about it,” said Norm DesRosiers, a member of the Viejas gaming commission.&lt;br /&gt;Posting payouts these days is a complicated task, DesRosiers said, because many modern, computer-driven slot machines offer multiple games and multiple denominations, “and the payback percentages are different for each one.”&lt;br /&gt;“But by law, the technological specifications we have adopted in (San Diego County) require a minimum of 80 percent payback,” DesRosiers said. “And that is tested and verified on every machine by an independent testing lab and verified by us.&lt;br /&gt;“Most casinos, though, would never stay in business with that low of a payback. Most casinos here set their machines between 88 and 96 percent (payout).”&lt;br /&gt;That range is consistent with casinos in Las Vegas, said Jerry Markling, chief of enforcement for the Nevada Gaming Board. But some San Diego County players aren't buying it.&lt;br /&gt;Ways to win at slot machines: The EconomistThis post was originally made by a MBA student to &lt;a href="http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/4/23/162731/687"&gt;http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/4/23/162731/687&lt;/a&gt;. It's reprinted here more or less intact... The economists in the house tell us (and they give a compelling and legit argument) that it is OK and to play online slots even if the odds are against you.--While getting my MBA one of the concepts that I actually found pretty interesting was the utility curve theory of money. The way it works, basically, is to look at the marginal utility of each additional dollar you have, rather than its fundamental economic value.&lt;br /&gt;For instance, to a starving fellow in the street with no ready money at all, the marginal utility of a single dollar is incredibly high, as it can mean at least a bit of food that might literally wind up saving his life.&lt;br /&gt;However, for me (luckily), my quality of life is so completely unchanged whether I have an additional dollar or not that its utility is extremely close to zero. I would likely never notice if a dollar happened to fall out of my wallet once a week for the rest of my life.&lt;br /&gt;However, on the flip side, for me (unluckily, as I've not wealth of that magnitude), my quality of life would undergo pretty drastic changes were I to win the lottery.&lt;br /&gt;So, while the utility lost to me from spending a dollar on a lottery ticket is extremely close to zero, the utility gained were I to win would be astoundingly large.&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, it likely makes sense for me to subscribe to the lottery and have it auto-deduct and play a ticket for me on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. The subscription/no-work-involved aspect is key, because if you add in the utility cost of actually physically going to buy a ticket you lose immediately. It must be as nearly zero-effort as possible in order to maintain the utility/quality-of-life positive balance.&lt;br /&gt;Ideally, if I could literally forget it was even being played for me, aside from a $52 deduction per year out of my account, things would be nearly perfect. I'd never miss the $52 as far as my quality of life goes, and yet I'd always be poised for some pleasant surprise that would make my day/week/life.&lt;br /&gt;Ways to win at slots: The online casino veteranThe casino veterans in the house agree with the economists. I play for two reasons.1. It's really fun. I really enjoy playing online slots.2. A few dollars here and there won't kill me. A million dollar windfall would sure be nice.3. I usually end up winning anyway, so (2) is kind of moot.&lt;br /&gt;Ok, now that I've got your attention, this is how you win by bonus hunting... Here's a textbook case of how to make a few extra bucks by exploiting a bonus.&lt;br /&gt;The cool thing about online gambling is that the overhead of the casinos is so small that they can afford to lose money one many of their players. It's much better odds than the casinos in Vegas. Here is how to get a free $200.00!&lt;br /&gt;    * Download and install FREE Commodore Casino software.    * Open the software and click on "Play for Real Money".    * Select "Create Account".    * Make your first deposit and they will instantly credit your account with up to an additional $200.00!&lt;br /&gt;Commodore Casino Bonus Rules:&lt;br /&gt;    * You must deposit a minimum of $25 to qualify for the bonus.    * 100% up to $200.00 - wager requirement: 15 [deposit + bonus]    * You must meet these wager requirements before cashing out: wager 15 times your deposit plus bonus before making a withdrawal request. For example, deposit $100, receive a $100 bonus, and wager a minimum of $3000 [ $200 * 15 ] before cashing out.    * Bets placed on Roulette, Baccarat, Craps and Sic bo do not count towards the wager requirement. $1 wagered on Blackjack and Pai Gow counts as $0.50 towards the wager requirement.    * If you receive free money at registration, it must be wagered 25 times, and you must provide ID as proof of age when requesting a cash-out. Players can receive free money at registration only once in the Gambling Federation family of casinos.&lt;br /&gt;In addition, Commodore Casino offers a Refer a Friend Bonus. This is yet another way to get money playing online.&lt;br /&gt;Here is how you can get your $30 Refer a Friend Bonus:&lt;br /&gt;    * Log in to your Real Money account in the casino software.    * Select the $30 Free! button from the casino home page in the casino software.    * Fill out all requested information on the referral form and submit the document. When your friend(s) registers their first Real Money account in the casino that you referred them to, they will automatically receive a $10 bonus just for signing up.&lt;br /&gt;When that friend proceeds to make a Real money deposit into their casino account, they will be happy to credit you with the $30 Refer a Friend Bonus. You are required to wager 15X the bonus before being able to cash out any winnings. Like I said, it's a great way to pick up a few extra bucks.&lt;br /&gt;So there you have it, a few different opinions on how to win at slots. I've got my own little take. I spend $15 to go to the movies and have a soda. If I play online instead and break even, I've saved $15!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11035780-115818722125683790?l=ch4ncegambling.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ch4ncegambling.blogspot.com/feeds/115818722125683790/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11035780&amp;postID=115818722125683790' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11035780/posts/default/115818722125683790'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11035780/posts/default/115818722125683790'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ch4ncegambling.blogspot.com/2006/09/land-casinos-vs-online.html' title='Land Casinos vs Online'/><author><name>Jedi Master</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02739092925833408539</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11035780.post-115818711257706538</id><published>2006-09-13T15:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-09-13T15:38:32.590-07:00</updated><title type='text'>casino gambling online online</title><content type='html'>First off, we need to ask, why are you searching for "casino gambling online online". This search phrase seems kind of odd to me. Why not just searhc for "casino gambling online?" or just online casinos? Sorry, just needed throw that in. regardless, this article provides an overview of casino gambling online online, tells you the best places to play, and how to exploit bonuses to actually win when you play online... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Las Vegas casinos are really beautiful; many have spectacular fountains, glorious indoor and outdoor gardens, and amazing pools and spas. However, these buildings, grounds, and facilities were really expensive to built, and are even more costly to maintain. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Online casinos, do not have pricey overhead expenses. casino gambling online online establishments are able to pass these savings on to their customers. For this reason, online casinos offer payout rates that are considerably higher than those offered at brick and mortar casinos in Las Vegas- or anywhere else in the good old USA. casino gambling online online payout rates are compiled on a monthly basis by the Online Players Association (OPA), an internet casino players’ advocacy group. It's kind of ironic really. Everyone (at least the lawmakers) talk about these rouge casinos that don't payout. The online casino industry is self policing. And it does a really good job. Online casinos are put through more scrutiny than land casinos. It's not that land casinos might cheat - they don't half to. They are legally allowed to set the payout of their slots to 80%. casino gambling online online establishments have payouts that range from 96 to over 100% You need to be clever to get the 100+% payouts, but it's doable. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Payouts at Tribal Casinos&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Strange as it sounds, tribes do not have to report publicly their profit or what is paid out to patrons. In six years, casino-style gambling on Indian land in California has grown to a $7 billion-a-year industry, according to the Indian Gaming Industry Report. So it pays to ensure that customers think they have a fair shot at winning. Here's the payouts of slot machines at land casinos (coutesty of www.lasvegasinsider.com):&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.lasvegasinsider.com/html/images/slots_payout_lvrj.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For comparison, online casinos have payouts around 98%. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Can You win at casino gambling online online?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this article, we present a basic overview of how to figure out the odds that are given to casino gambling online online players. we use the casino bonuses in this article. This inclusion of the bonuses is because if you're casino gambling online online (why did you search for that phrase again?) you're going to be on the receiving end of some pretty hefty bonuses.&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The basic formula is this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt; Amount beted * (payout-100 %)/100 = amount won. &lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The "amount beted" is the total amount you bet. If you bet $20 five times, the "amount beted" is $100. The casino gambling online online payout precentage is the average amount of cash you will get back if you bet $100. The payout % is commonly referred to as the odds. If the payout is 98% and you bet $100 (all your cash), you will most likely be left with $98. If you have $1000 and you bet $200, you will probably be left with $996. The "amount lost" is pretty straightforward. If you can't figure this out, you shouldn't be a casino gambling online online player.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;Br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are a casino gambling online online player given a sign up bonus: &lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;payout percent = 100*free cash/amount beted + old payout percent.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;Br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A typical example is a free $50 if you deposit $50 and bet a total of $200. Assuming you're playing something like online casino blackjack, you should be able to get a basic payout % of 98%. Plugging these numbers into the first formula, we get: &lt;Br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this case, the new casino gambling online online payout percent is: 100*50/200+98 = 123% &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt; How much would you win in the above scenario? &lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt; Amount won = amount beted * (payout-100 %)/100 = 200 * (123-100)/100 = $46. &lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;Br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;So what does this mean?&lt;/b&gt; we must apologize for the math. Basically, the blurb above says that if you download commodore casino software, register the software and make a $200 deposit, you will end up winning 46 bucks. All in all, not a bad way to pick up some extra cash! It's not very often that you can go to a casino and have the odds in your favor. Opportunities like this need to be taken advantage of while they exist. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;Br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Free cash and casino gambling online online&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Sometimes casino gambling online online players get a sign up bonus that is a percentage of their initial deposit. You just need to figure out how much free cash they're giving you, and then you can figure out if you will win cash. This calculation is really straightforward.  &lt;Br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's do a basic example. Lets assume we deposit $100. If the casino gives be a 25% bonus, this bonus is equivalent to $25: &lt;Br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Free cash = Amount deposited * Bonus/100 = $100*25/100 = $25 &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;regardless, the math is easy and the numbers are all good. You just need to gamble a bit, and heck you wouldn't be reading this unless you're looking to gamble anyway...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Are there casino gambling online online online casino blackjack Payouts above 100%?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're patient, the payouts from online online casino blackjack at Commodore Casino is over 100%. You could play at other online casinos. But why would you? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In general, using a online casino blackjack chart, the payout is around 95%. The 2:1 payout on online casino blackjack pushes the odds closer to 98%. You don't get this 2:1 payout at land casinos. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The "Three [3] – 7’s of Spades" bonus at Commodore casino is like an extra .35 cents/hand. If you're playing 0.10 hands, the "Three [3] – 7’s of Spades" bonus increases the odds by 3.5%. The total odds become 101%! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What this means is this. If you play online casino blackjack with $0.10 hands, and play according a reasonable online casino blackjack chart, you should eventually make cash. The thing that puts the odds over the %100 barrier is the Three [3] – 7’s of Spades bonus. In order to get this bonus, you will have to play a fair number of hands. Still, it means that eventually, you will come out ahead. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Roulette casino gambling online online&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The house average or house edge (also called the expected value) is the amount the player loses relative to a bet, on average. If a casino gambling online online player bets on a single number in the American game there is a probability of 1/38 that the player receives 36 times the bet (35 times the bet plus the return of the bet itself), so the house ends up, on average, with a 5.26% edge on each bet.&lt;br /&gt;For European roulette the house edge is cut in half, to 2.7%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can make cash with casino gambling online online if you play roulette. You just need to make sure that you get a deposit bonus when each time you make a deposit. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt; casino gambling online online Slot Machines... &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;casino gambling online online Slot Machines have a payout of around 98%. Compare this to 90% for land casinos. It's much better.

I've had enough with roulette computers that beat roulette wheels. I feel a need to get in my two cents in. My two cents are pessimistic. That being said, I do know how you can tilt the odds in your favour. It's just not that glamorous. It's like cutting out coupons in the newspaper before you buy your groceries. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Online casinos like new customers. It's a bit of an obvious statement, but a good place to start nonetheless. Casino's are wrestling with the marketing problem. Faced with many similar casinos, how can one create a unique value proposition for customers. How can they make their casino the best. There are several possible means. Casinos can compete on: - pay out ratio (one casino pays out 98% of the money it takes in) &lt;br /&gt;- quality of the software &lt;br /&gt;- cash bonus when you sign up. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The main problem with the first marketing effort is that it reinforces the notion that you're taking money from the players. This might not be the fact that you want to emphasize in your online casino marketing efforts. &lt;br /&gt;The problem with the second is that the best, and highest quality software and resulting Internet gaming experience can't be experienced until after the would be customer downloads the software. This strategy doesn't help get new customers. The first two strategies don't help you get new customers, they just helps keep the ones you already have. The last strategy is the online equivalent to the $5 lobster dinner at Vegas. It's just a loss leader - plain and simple. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Combined with search engine optimization and affiliate programs, the third strategy seems to be the strategy of choice. The proposal works like this. Sign up, deposit $50 and we'll give you $50. The only catch is that you need to gamble a bit before you take the money out. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many Internet casinos offer 10%, 20%, 25% bonuses. It might be better to look for individual free money for every $25 you deposit. If the casino will give you a free $50 for every $50 you put in, this works out to a 100% bonus. One place offered $100 for a $25 deposit. This is a whopping 400% bonus! Not bad. So is there a catch? Not really, as long as you don't end up losing more than the bonus. A little self discipline. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, how do you hustle the casino? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Blackjack player that knows some basic strategy has a disadvantage of around .5%. This means that for every $100 that you wager, you should get $99.50 back. I think that this is actually pretty good. For one hours worth of entertainment, you should be down at most a buck or two. If you're lucky, you might win a bit. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Internet casinos usually want you to make $50 worth of bets before you take the money out. Normally, you'll end up with $40 to $60 to take out (assuming you deposited $25 and the casino kicked in $25 as well). It's cool is you suck at Black don't sweat it just play Baccarat or Craps. In Baccarat, bet player or banker. In Craps, bet pass or don't pass. These strategies give you about a 1% disadvantage. Make all your bets the table minimum. Keeping you bets at the minimum diversifies the risk over more hands and increases the chance that you will end up with between $45 and $55 worth of cash. Now just have fun and make $50 worth of bets. In general, it's a good rule of thumb to deposit more than the minimum amount. This is just to avoid suspicion. After you're done, take most of your money out. If you leave a bit in, the casino might give you the same sort of deal and you can make more money this way.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11035780-112389289505462744?l=ch4ncegambling.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ch4ncegambling.blogspot.com/feeds/112389289505462744/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11035780&amp;postID=112389289505462744' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11035780/posts/default/112389289505462744'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11035780/posts/default/112389289505462744'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ch4ncegambling.blogspot.com/2005/08/couputers-and-roulette-can-we-hack.html' title='Couputers and Roulette: Can We Hack Roulette Wheels?'/><author><name>Jedi Master</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02739092925833408539</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11035780.post-112389273795478654</id><published>2005-08-12T17:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-08-12T17:25:37.963-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Ken Chan Poker Scam Exposed</title><content type='html'>Former security specialist turned online poker cheater has releases a how-to on cheating at online poker. This no holds barred cheating manual even teaches people how to see there opponents cards. Of course ken chan's poker system requires you to have root on the server first... It's too bad it doesn't work. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These types of claims are the sort that you really have to sit up and take notice of, and then comment on. I checkout of the site and for the most part, the claims are great, but it's mostly hype. He' makes two points which are true. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. It's possible to make money using a poker bot. If you want one, the vex bot is probably the best. Maybe Google for it and try it out? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. It's possible to see other poeple's hands. The way you do this is have a who bunch of friends playing in one table. You all know what each others hands are because you're all on MSN messenger and communicating together. Basically, you team up and almost everyone folds except the person with the highest hand. You might have to make some modifications in order to not be suspicious... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As an aside, this is a good reason to play video poker. You don't have to worry that the humans in your poker room are cheating. You also don't have to worry about losing money to poker bots.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you use the cheating method above (which incidently, is not something from ken chan poker essays), the group of you will end up winning... The rest of the poker claims by ken chan seem to be unsubstantiated. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one saw it coming but with the recent explosion in online poker it was only a matter of time. You see the online poker community has been fiercely debating for quite some time now whether or not cheating is occurring online. Methods discussed run the gamut from online poker bots to collusion to card scanners. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well the lid has just been blown wide open. A self confessed online poker cheater has just revealed all of his methods in a downloadable e-book. Ken Chan has finally done what no else has – he actually teaches people simple ways in which they can cheat online and make big money. He outlines several strategies that he has been using for quite some time and explains them in easy to follow step by step instructions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ken chan has also claimed to have some sort of x-ray poker tool. He claims that this would really help people win. I don't doubt that seeing your opponents poker hands will help you win. I just doubt that his software works. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ken chan is so confident in his poker methods that he guarantees that anyone who uses them will make at least $25,000 a month or they get to keep the material for nothing. But good luck getting your money back... The Ken Chan poker cheating guide can be found at www.cheat-at-poker.com but Ken Chan will probably not be around for a long time so those interested would be best to move fast. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This site looks to be a scam. In not sure. However, we did recently get an submitted story from professor77 that this site was a scam and a rip off. The story is here: Ken Chan poker scam. Ken Chan, I encourage you to speak up up if you feel that you are being wrongfully acused. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a follow up, it looks more and more like ken chan is running a poker scam. That being said, there are some good points here on how to "hack" online poker rooms. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can't hack google, but you can game their pagerank algorithm. The same holds true for online poker rooms, they can't be hacked, but you can game them - and win. You end up cheating, and you win real money. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;### keywords: ken chan poker scam x-ray poker tool.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11035780-112389273795478654?l=ch4ncegambling.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ch4ncegambling.blogspot.com/feeds/112389273795478654/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11035780&amp;postID=112389273795478654' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11035780/posts/default/112389273795478654'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11035780/posts/default/112389273795478654'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ch4ncegambling.blogspot.com/2005/08/ken-chan-poker-scam-exposed.html' title='Ken Chan Poker Scam Exposed'/><author><name>Jedi Master</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02739092925833408539</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11035780.post-111825327145335418</id><published>2005-06-08T10:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-06-08T10:54:31.453-07:00</updated><title type='text'>www.ch4nce.com Adds Texas Holdem and Other Columns to it's Website</title><content type='html'>www.ch4nce.com is pleased to announce more major improvements to the new site www.ch4nce.com. www.ch4nce.com is a forum of sorts. www.ch4nce.com has news related to the gambling world, and a lively discussion usually follows. www.ch4nce.com is seeking writers to produce weekly columns for the site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;www.ch4nce.com features news stories about gambling, reviews of casinos, gambling strategies and a host of other content related to gambling online. www.ch4nce.com tries to write 4-5 new articles on gambling each day.
