Alternative Table Games

Posted on Sep 03 2010 at 10:38 AM by aaronos

We all know and love the classic table games, like blackjack and Caribbean stud, but what about the other numerous table games listed at online casinos, or hidden away on the casino floor? We’re all put off by the unknown and most people don’t want to gamble twice: the actual bet and then risking that bet on a game we don’t fully understand. So what opportunity does that give us to learn and possibly profit from games such as Oasis Poker, 3 Card Poker, Red Dog, Casino Hold’em ...

Shoot the Messenger

Posted on Sep 03 2010 at 09:25 AM by iancatley

In May, I wailed: “ My heart bleeds…as this international cricketing summer approaches and is reduced to a sad, sporting side-show.” Turns out I was wrong. I n very murky conditions the News of the World took a light-meter reading and decided that the light was too bad for the game to continue without them turning the floodlights on. The cricket really has been very poor this summer desperately lacking quality or news worthiness so somebody at News International decided their odious ...

Citizens to continue good run against Sunderland

Posted on Aug 27 2010 at 13:00 PM by Formex

It’s already beginning to look like a tough season for Wigan and following a thumping at home to Blackpool and then a 6-0 hammering by Chelsea at the DW Stadium they venture south to play Tottenham at White Hart Lane on Saturday in a fixture that saw them humiliated 9-1 last season. Unless boss Martinez can address the huge deficiencies in their defence this looks one-way traffic and with William Gallas expected to make his debut for the Lilywhites they should show additional resolve at the ...

Which Casino Licence?

Posted on Aug 26 2010 at 09:42 AM by aaronos

Like the vast majority of players, when I first started playing I didn’t know anything about casino licences. It goes without saying then that I was utterly oblivious to where a casino was licensed and what implications this meant. In fact, as long as the website looked pretty trustworthy then that was enough for me. It’s pretty shocking attitude to have, and having been ripped off by flybynightcasino.com like sites a few times I started to take notice, and so should you. It’s easy ...

Manchester City vs Liverpool

Posted on Aug 22 2010 at 17:16 PM by willhill-Simon

Manchester City VS Liverpool Liverpool once had a lot of financial muscle, in fact, the players that Manchester City have bought this summer were all once courted by Benitez. Now Liverpool are looking at Bosman transfers and the lower end of the transfer market for bargain deals. Manchester City have unlimited funds and they have just signed Milner in a £26 million deal. He is 12/1 to score first and open his Manchester City account. For all City's spending in the last few years, on the ...

More woe for Wigan

Posted on Aug 20 2010 at 16:02 PM by Formex

Wigan were humbled by new boys Blackpool 4-0 in a humiliating defeat at the DW Stadium on the opening day of the new season and things are unlikely to get much better this weekend when champions Chelsea come visiting. Latics boss Roberto Martinez is now hot favourite to be the next manager to go and unless he is able to turn things around quickly Wigan will be in serious trouble. Chelsea continued their fantastic home form of 2010 with a 6-0 cruise against West Brom with Golden Boot holder Drogba ...

The Red Mist...

Posted on Aug 20 2010 at 10:53 AM by aaronos

We've all been there. Whether gambling, driving...listening to David Pleat's football commentary...we've all experienced moments of anger that influenced our decisions. In gambling and poker its known as going tilt, where the urge to win, to recover losses and anger at previous mistakes combine to bring down the red-mist. That manifests in players raising the ante or moving move all-in when one really shouldn't (pair of pocket deuces, for example!) and generally losing that element ...

Money Madness

Posted on Aug 12 2010 at 15:48 PM by Mr. Ed

FIFA Evil Overlord / President Sepp Blatter once said that footballers are 'modern day slaves'. His typically offensive comments were unsurprisingly met with derision from most quarters; apparently people have a hard time sympathising with the plight of £100,000 a week primadonnas. However, a quick look at the overly-dramatic language that the media use to describe transfers would seem to support Blatter's claims that 21st-century football basically equates to human trafficking ...

Gunners to spoil Hodgson’s big day

Posted on Aug 11 2010 at 21:17 PM by Formex

The much anticipated new Premier League season kicks off with the heavyweight clash between Tottenham and Man City in Saturday’s early match at White Hart Lane. Big spending Man City have invested another small fortune, around £80m, since the end of last season and can now boast an increased number of international allsorts in their quest for silverware. Their pre-season results have been modest but hopes are high at Eastlands that with the addition of their World Cup players’ things ...

The Jungle Games Slot Machine

Posted on Aug 11 2010 at 16:27 PM by aaronos

It isn’t often I write about a single slot game, preferring to talk about the type of machine as a collective. However, there are a few out there that really standout, breaking the mould and transcend the simple “feed coin in, pull handle and repeat” feel of many. One of those that noticeably raise the bar is NetEnt’s Jungle Games. NetEnt are a popular and growing Swedish casino game manufacturer. In the past their games have been seen as an addition to sportsbooks and poker ...
