Common-Sense Roulette Strategies Win The Game

The big attraction for people to play roulette is the game’s payout odds of 35:1. That’s for predicting the precise number the ball lands on. Even better odds exist for various other predictions you can bet on. Making best use of those odds involves a bit of common-sense roulette strategy.

One of these common sense roulette strategies is to bet with the odds. Thirty-five to one is okay odds, but 2:1 is even better. You can get two to one odds any time you bet simply on the color that’ll come up – red or black. Likewise, you can get these kind of odds by betting on whether the number the ball lands on will be odd or even.

Of course when you play roulette this way the payouts are a bit smaller, but at least they can be more frequent. For slightly better payouts without exorbitantly riskier odds you can bet on whether the number that comes up will be in the 1st row of 12, 2nd row of 12, or 3rd row of 12.

And of course, most good common sense roulette strategies advise spreading out your bets across several different possibilities so you’re more likely each time you play roulette to have one of those bets win.

NY Cop Wins $1 Million In PokerStars, FOX TV’s Million Dollar Challenge

The tip for how to play winning online poker this week is to follow the lessons of Mike Kosowski, the retired New York cop who won the $1 million top prize in Poker Stars and FOX Television’s Million Dollar Challenge. In this nationally televised poker game show, contestants face off against a series of successively tougher opponents, each in a heads-up No Limit Holdem match. If the contestant beats all the pros up the ladder, he faces his final pro opponent, Kid Poker himself, Daniel Negreanu.

And that’s just what this 9/11 hero did. After nearly being killed by the falling South Tower as he helped survivors escape the World Trade Center after the terrorist attacks of 9-11-2001, Kosowski spent his recovery time learning to play poker. Four years after that, when he retired, he took the game even more seriously, until taking himself to a freeroll win that landed him a spot on the Million Dollar Challenge TV show. Then all he had to do was keep winning. Bet that detective sergeant training taught him real well how to read tells, don’t you think?

I guess you could say he had a great no limit poker strategy to pull off such an amazing run at the poker table that night!

2010 WSOP Schedule Released

The schedule for the 2010 World Series of Poker has been released. 21-year-old 2009 champ Joe Cada has barely gotten used to the idea of holding the title and already players are getting ready to try and claim it from him.

The 2010 WSOP schedule much resembles the 2009 one, again being comprised of 57 braceleted events, winding up with the $10,000 World Series of Poker Main Event. Some additions to the schedule this time around include a new $50,000 Players Championship, an 8-game mixed event (replacing last year’s $50,000 HORSE event), a $10,000 HORSE event, and a $25,000 6-handed NL Holdem event. In addition there will be a special non-braceleted event held every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday in June for a $550 buy-in.

The 2010 WSOP festivities will commence May 27, 2010 at Harrah’s Rio in Las Vegas. As the WSOP keeps growing (remember that whole debacle with people getting turned away from the main event last year?) the Rio has now extended the series to two rooms, totally approximately 350 tables in all.
