Bankroll

Hvor my penger burde du investere?

Dette er et veldig viktig spørsmål med to enkle svar.

Hvis du er en nybegynner eller har bare lyst til å ha litt moro, ikke legg in mer en du har råd til å. Med andre ord, hvis du er helt villig til å tape $100 så lenge du har det gøy så er det helt i orden. Dette er hva jeg gjorde og jeg hadde ganske mange helger hvor jeg tapte mellom $50 og $100 før jeg virkelig lærte hvordan jeg skulle spille poker, men det var helt i orden for meg siden det var penger jeg hadde råd til å tape og jeg hadde det veldig artig mens jeg lærte alt om poker. Disse dagene spiller jeg med en noe større bankroll men så taper jeg ikke så ofte heller 😉

Bankroll faktorene er litt forskjellige for erfarne poker spillere som vinner mer en de taper. Disse spillerne er ute etter å vinne penger på en balansert måte ved en viss innsats nivå. Hvis du er en av disse spillerne burde du ha 200 ganger big blind i bankroll. Altså hvis du spiller på en $2/$4 bord burde du ha en bankroll av $4×200=$800. Med denne summen penger garderer du mot at du mister hele bankrollen din hvis du skylle ha dårlig hell på bordene og få noen “bad beats” på rad!

Noen vil kanskje si at 200 ganger big blind ikke er nok med i min mening er det mer en nok får en erfaren spiller og det er regel som de fleste gode poker spillere holder seg til.

Hvis du spiller masse poker er det også en god ide å skrive en dagbok hvor du noterer poker aktivitetene dine. Dette hjelper deg til å analysere spillet ditt og se hvilken strategier virker best.

Factors you can assess in Horseracing – Part 1

Pedigree
For all racehorses it is possible to trace back their pedigrees for hundreds of years. A good pedigree is an indication of a potentially good horse but not always. Horses are carefully bred to bring out characteristics that make good runners. Horses with good racing records are sent to stud in order to try to bring out those characteristics in future generations. However, due to the nature of genetics, the breeding of these characteristics is not always an exact science. A dam and sire with good racing records do not always produce fast offspring. Often the characteristics that make a good runner can skip generations.

One characteristic that has been shown to have a positive affect on the performance of horses is a large heart. Although this characteristic may be present in the sire it may not show up in his immediate offspring, only to reappear in later generations.

This can mean that a horse that may have had a poor racing record can sire fast offspring. This makes the study of pedigree an inexact method of finding winners. It tends to be used as a tool for finding winners where the horses have not run before.

 

Previous performance of the runners
Due to the unpredictability of breeding, a great deal of importance is placed on the previous performance of horses. Once the horse has actually run, you have a clearer indication of its potential. You will have information available about how the horses have performed in previous races. This is called form. Different racing publications publish this information in different formats. To cut down on space, abbreviations are used and each publication will give a key explaining them. As a general rule, the more detailed the information, the more you have to pay for it. You will therefore need to decide for yourself how important you feel the information is. The sorts of detail that are given are the results of previous races, the jockey, trainer, weight carried and a guide to the betting. When the horse has not run in many races in the current season, its performance for the previous season will be given.

Try to watch as many races as possible. The written data do not always show why a horse performed poorly. The jockey may have been at fault. He may have waited too long before pushing a horse. A horse may sprint quickly at the end of the race but if the jockey left it too late to push or was boxed in by other horses, it may still lose. A better jockey next time out may compensate.

Some horses may have an easy win, with the jockeys not having to use the Whip or, alternatIvely, easing down near the finish. Other horses may win but under pressure from the jockey. A poorer jockey next tIme out may mean it loses. A horse could fall at a difficult fence. If the fences are easier in its next race the horse may not be so unfortunate. A horse may lose a race over the jumps because it is brought down by a loose horse or slips on wet ground. With better running conditions, it may win its next race. With sprinting races, a horse may get off to a bad start. The next race may be better.

At the beginning of the season you will not have a lot of information on which to base your selection. As the season progresses, you will have a much better indication of how the horses are performing. Towards the end of the season, you will have many more consistent data on which to base your decisions. For this reason, you should bet cautiously at the begmmng of the season and gradually increase stakes as the season progresses and you are more confident of your selections.

 

Speed of the horse
The speed that a horse can run is by far the clearest indication of how likely a horse is to win. No matter how good the jockey, the trainer or the condition of the ground, if a horse is not fast it is unlikely to win. Assessing the speed is not a simple matter. Factors like the amount of weight carried and the going all affect a horse’s speed.

Timeform offer the most comprehensive records of the speed of horses. They produce a daily newspaper and separate books giving details of flat racing and national hunt statistics. For anyone seriously assessing a horse’s chances of winning, this information is invaluable. You can, of course, accumulate the information yourself if you are prepared to commit the time it takes to gather data.

 

Harness racing
The United States Trotting Association keeps records of the fastest race a horse wins each year. Abbreviations are used to cut down on space. With harness racing, the comparison of the runners is made much easier as most races are run over a mile.

Example: p,3,Q1:58.1 ($100,000)
p – the horse gait p = pace, no letter = trot
3 – age of the horse, here it was a 3 year old
Q – the type of race. Q = qualifying race, T = time trial, no letter = during a race
1 :58.1 – the time taken to run one mile, in this case one minute and 58.1 seconds
the length of the track – f = 5/8 mile, s = 7/8 mile, h = 1/2 mile, no letter = 1 mile
($100,000) – the amount of money won by the horse in its career

 

The race
You don’t have to bet on every race. Save your money for the races that offer the best prospects. It takes time to assess all the runners so concentrate on a few races each day. Certain races can be dismissed as it too difficult to predict the outcome. It is better to select races where you have a clear indication of a horse’s performance. Avoid selling races, claiming races, maiden handicaps, apprentice races and amateur races. With the higher class races you will have a lot more information on which to base your decision. Clips of the horses’ previous races run will be shown by the racing media and a lot more information will be written over these horses in horse racing publications.

 

Distance of the race
Most horses have an optimum distance over which they perform well. Some are excellent sprinters while others have stamina to cope with longer distances. If a horse is entered for a distance that it has never run before, its previous performance can provide some indication as to how well it will fare. Has the horse run shorter distances and won easily? Or has it run longer distances but lacked stamina and faded at the end? If you watch lots of racing you will notice these factors.
 

Change of class
The grade of race may have an effect on its outcome. If a horse performs particularly well in, for example, a Class 2 race, it may be entered for a Class 1 race. Since Class 1 races attract the best horses, it will be up against much stronger opposition than in its previous race. Avoid betting on horses that have moved up a class. Wait for them to prove themselves in their new class. It is also possible for horses to drop down a grade so a horse that has previously run in a Class 1 race may compete in a Class 2 race. The horse may have performed badly in the Class 1 race but the change of class may lead to a huge improvement. The form guides in newspapers give details of which horses are running in different classes.

Poker – Structure des enchères selon le type de partie

Les règles du Texas hold’em restent identiques que vous jouiez en parties privées, en cercles de jeux ou en casinos. Seule la structure des enchères change.
Quand vous vous asseyez à une table, voici ce que vous devez savoir pour aborder la partie sereinement.

Limit games
Les limit games se caractérisent par un cadre prédéfini d’enchères. Ainsi, l’enchère minimale et l’enchère maximale sont fixées dès le départ.

Une partie est en limit 1 €/2 €. La première valeur définit l’enchère et la relance pour les deux premiers tours. Ainsi, les joueurs ne miseront qu’1 € et ne pourront relancer que de 1 €. La deuxième valeur définit la mise et la relance pour le troisième et le quatrième tour d’enchères.

Le nombre de relances est limité pour chaque tour d’enchère. La norme étant généralement de limiter à trois ou quatre relances après la première mise.
La b/ind est généralement égale à la moitié de la mise minimale et la surblind à la mise minimale.
 

Spread limit games
Ce type de partie est moins connu. La structure d’enchères est la même qu’en limit, à l’exception de cette possibilité de miser entre la valeur minimale et la valeur maximale des enchères prédéfinies.

Dans une partie en spread limit 20 € à 40 € pour les deux premiers tours et 20 à 80 € pour les deux derniers tours, il est possible de miser 25 € ou 37 € aux deux premiers tours d’enchères et 43 € ou 78 € pour les deux derniers tours.

Pot limit games
En pot limit, la structure des enchères est la même qu’en limit, à l’exception de la mise maximale dont la hauteur est égale à la valeur du pot actuel.

Dans une partie en pot limit 10 €/20 €, la mise minimale est de 10 € pour les deux premiers tours d’enchères et de 20 € pour les deux derniers tours d’enchères. La mise maximale est fixée à hauteur du pot actuel. Imaginons qu’au deuxième tour d’enchères, le joueur 2 ouvre en misant 10 €, le joueur 3 aura la possibilité d’enchérir jusqu’à 89 €, si la valeur du pot est de 89 €.

No limit games
En no Iimit, la structure des enchères est la même qu’en limit. La seule diffé¬rence est qu’il n’y a pas d’enchère maximale. Chaque joueur a donc la possibi¬lité de miser jusqu’à la hauteur de son tapis.

Dans une partie en no limit 40 €/80 €, l’enchère minimale est de 40 € pour les deux premiers tours et de 80 € pour les deux derniers. À tout moment, un joueur a la possibilité de miser entre la mise minimale prédéfinie et celle de son propre tapis.

Quand un joueur mise tout son tapis, on dit qu’il est ail in. Si un autre joueur décide de le suivre mais que son tapis est inférieur, un pot annexe – le side pot- sera créé.

Le joueur 1 possède 500 €.
Le joueur 2 possède 200 €.
Le joueur 1 mise la totalité de son tapis, soit 500 €. Le joueur 2 décide de le suivre et avance la totalité de son tapis, soit 200 €. Dans ces circonstances, le joueur 2 ne peut pas prétendre gagner les 500 € de son adversaire, mais seulement les 200 € qu’il aura mis dans le pot.

Deux pots apparaissent alors :
– Un main pot: Pot principal où sont disputés 400 euros (200 € de chaque joueur).
– Un side pot: Pot annexe comportant 300 € (mise du joueur 1 que le joueur 2 ne peut prétendre).
Le joueur dont la main sera la meilleure au showdown emportera 400 €. Le joueur 1 récupèrera ses 300 € quoi qu’il arrive.

Prenons quatre joueurs:
Sébastien : 500 €
Thomas: 300 €
Olivier: 200 €
Julie: 100 €

Olivier est ail in avec 200 €. Il est suivi par tous les autres joueurs.
– Main pot: 100 € + 100 € + 100 € + 100 € = 400 €.
Le facteur limitant est le tapis de Julie (100 €).
Tout le monde se dispute le main pot.
– Side pot 1 : 100 € + 100 € + 100 € = 300 €.
Le facteur limitant est le total restant d’Olivier après le main pot (200 € -100 € = 100 €).
Olivier, Sébastien et Thomas se disputent le side pot 1. Julie ne peut y prétendre.
– Side pot 2 : 100 € + 100 € = 200 €.
Le facteur limitant est le tapis de Thomas après avoir payé le main pot et le si de pot 1 (300 € -100 € -100 € = 100 €).
Seuls Thomas et Sébastien se disputent le side pot 2.
Le showdown révèlera le vainqueur à hauteur de ce qu’il a misé dans le pot:
Si Julie l’emporte, elle empoche 400 €. Les autres Joueurs recuperent respectivement leur argent des side pots.
– Si Olivier l’emporte, il empoche 700 € : main pot et slde pot 1.
– Si Thomas ou Sébastien l’emporte, il empoche 900 € : tous les pots.

Die Aufrechterhaltung eines sicheren und geschützten Umfeld

In der heutigen massiven Casinos, verschmelzen Fünf-Sterne-Hotels mit gigantischen, Themen-Gebäude und umfasst ganze Häuserblocks und Gehäuse Restaurants, Bars, Theatern, Diskotheken, Spieltischen, Spielautomaten, Geldautomaten, Snack-Bars, Souvenirläden, und gelegentlich sogar Themenpark . Ein Casino-Security Division muss daher ähnlich wie die Polizei von einer ganzen Stadt zu funktionieren. Dieser Artikel erklärt, wer die Sicherheitsleute sind, können Sie in auf, wer dich beobachtet und beschreibt, wie Sie proaktiv sein, sich zu schützen, wenn die Wetten Ihr hart verdientes Geld.

Sicherheitspersonal: Die menschliche Note
In den alten Tagen, Casinos einfach hatte Muskel Uhr nach der Eigentümergemeinschaft Millionen eingestellt. In diesen Tagen sind Casino-Sicherheit Leute als wichtige Mitglieder der ein Casino-Stockwerk-Team. Weil es eine dynamische und anspruchsvolle Aufgabe ist, hat Casino-Sicherheit zu einem wahren Karriere; Casinos bieten wettbewerbsfähige Löhne und Sozialleistungen, so dass sie Menschen, die geistig und körperlich fit sind, können gemietet werden. Sicherheits-Mitarbeiter verfügen über eine zweigleisige Aufgabe:
– Schützen Sie das Casino-Eigentum
– Sicherung der Casino-Gäste
Leider wird ein Sicherheits-Mitarbeiter hat die Aufgabe, die weniger angenehm durch die Tatsache, dass eine Aufgabe nicht immer Hand in Hand gehen mit der anderen. Zum Beispiel sind einige Gäste auch aus, um ein Casino von seinem Geld trennen, entweder durch Täuschung oder durch Vortäuschen einer Verletzung in beengten Verhältnissen.Die Aufgaben der Sicherheits-Mitarbeiter reichen von der Anzeige der Reihen von Überwachungskameras im High-Tech-Zimmer zu patrouillieren die Casino-Etagen, ständig auf Mahnwache für Kämpfe, Diebe, Betrunkene, und andere Störungen.

Überraschenderweise kommt auch der Sicherheit hält ein wachsames Auge auf die Hilfe – Casino-Mitarbeiter haben viele Betrug Betrug im Laufe der Jahre initiiert. Sie können leicht feststellen, das Sicherheitspersonal, sie sind immer für Sie da
einen Konflikt zu lösen oder weisen Sie in die richtige Richtung. Auch wenn jedes Casino ist anders, Sicherheitspersonal in der Regel eine Uniform tragen, die quasi-militärische ist, mit einem T-Shirt, die Sicherheit oder zumindest ein Namensschild oder Abzeichen, die sie als solche identifiziert, sagt sie. Weitere Erkennungsmerkmale sind ein Walkie-Talkie, ein Abzeichen, und möglicherweise eine Waffe. Halten Sie die Pistole im Hinterkopf das nächste Mal, wenn Sie den Drang verspüren, sich auf den Dealer-Chips helfen.
Größere Hotels kann mehrere Dutzend Sicherheitskräfte arbeiten an den verkehrsreichsten Zeiten des Tages und einem Betreuer in allen größeren Tätigkeitsbereichen des Casinos, der das Team leitet. Sicherheit Aufsichtsbehörden müssen viele Hüte tragen, einschließlich der Hut eines Diplomaten. Das Personal ist an der Front, sowohl den Schutz und Auswerfen Gäste, und als die gelegentlichen Aufflackern Temperament oder ein Missverständnis entsteht, die Sicherheit Supervisor muss in waten, um eine Vor-Ort-Urteil zu machen.

Surveilance: Das Auge im Himmel
Vor-Ort-Sicherheitspersonal in einem Casino kann nur so viel sehen, wenn sie versuchen, das Casino und seine Gäste zu schützen. Um sie in ihrer täglichen Runden zu helfen, verlassen Sicherheitspersonal auf elektronische Überwachung – das Auge in den Himmel. Einweg-Glas verbirgt Tausende von digitalen Kameras in jedem Casino. Einige sind versteckt, wo man sie am wenigsten erwarten. Andere sind prominent, groß und spürbar, so dass sie als Warnung dienen. Die Technologie ist heute, dass solche anspruchsvollen Kameras können nicht nur das Gesicht eines Spielers, sondern auch die Karten in seine Hände und sogar die Seriennummern auf Dollar-Scheinen zu sehen.Vor-Ort-Sicherheitspersonal können sich Banken von Fernsehbildschirmen zu Cheats zu identifizieren und zu speichern Casinos Millionen Dollar pro Jahr.
In den meisten Szenarien dreiste, erreicht eine Nickel-und Cent Dieb über seine Maschine ab, um Omas Slot-Tokens zu greifen. Die Kameras erfassen sein Versuch, und der Dieb ist schnell verhaftet. In weniger offensichtlichen, aber gleich häufig Situationen, Sicherheitspersonal sorgfältig zu beobachten, zu identifizieren und dingfest zu Cheats und Nachteile.
Obwohl die meisten Überwachung ist für die Aufdeckung und Verhinderung von Betrug und Gaunerei, das Auge am Himmel schützt auch ehrliche Spieler aus Slick-Gauner schlich das Casino für eine leichte Beute. Die neueren Casinos haben Kameras außerhalb des Gebäudes, wie zum Beispiel in den Parkhäusern, um das Sicherheitsnetz weiter werfen für Sie.

Online Gambling: De mest populære pokerspillene

Innen online gambling verdenen er Poker så absolutt favoritten. Faktisk har poker blitt så populært på internettet at spesielle sites som vier seg kun til poker og pokerspill har blitt opprettet.

Noen av de mest populære formene for poker spill tilgjengelig på internettet inkluderer Omaha Poker, Five Card Draw, Stud og til og med Horse, selv om den sistnevnte er en kombinasjon av kortspill som Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Stud og Razz. Bortsett fra å tilby spillere muligheten til å tjene millioner av dollar på de forskjellige spill og poker turneringer som er arrangert online så tilbyr online kasinoer og poker rom også spesielle bonuser og promosjons tilbud når spillere melder seg på seg med dem!
Noen av de mest populære poker spillene er som følgende:

Texas Hold’em

Texas Hold’em er for tiden det mest populære poker spillet på internettet og har millioner av fanatiske tilhengere. Spillet virker som sådan: Hver spiller blir til å begynne med delt to kort “face down” Dette gir muligheten til enten “bet” eller “fold”. Så snart spillerne har plasert sine bets blir fem community kort lagt “face up” på bordet, dette tillater spillerne å se kortene for så å kunne velge å lage en hånd av de fem beste kortene. Spilleren som har den beste hånden vinner.

Omaha

Innen Omaha har man Omaha High og Omaha Low. Dette spillet er mest populært blant europeiske spillere. Her blir spillerne delt fire kort “face down” og fem community kort blir lagt “face up” på bordet. For å kunne vinne en hånd må spilleren lage en hånd av de fem beste kortene ved å velge to fra “face down” og tre fra community kortene.

Draw Poker

Dette er en av de enkleste versjonene av poker, hvor en spiller må lage en hånd fra de fem beste kortene fra den komplette hånden han har fått tildelt. Spillerne kan også forandre hånden etter den første betting runden.

Stud

Stud involverer flere betting runder. Spillerne får delt en kombinasjon av “face down” og “face up” kort som de så må lage en vinner hånd av. Hånden som har de beste fem eller de beste syv kortene vinner.

Horse

Horse er en variasjon av poker som er en blanding av poker spill som for eksempel Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Razz og Stud. Alle disse fire typene av poker er spilt i et enkelt spill av Horse. Det er derfor essensiellt å kunne disse spillene før du prøver deg på Horse.

General Sports betting Tips

When betting over the internet, make sure you leave enough time for a bet to be processed. With the internet you need to take account of traffic and the time delay for processmg information from one computer to another. Although your computer may show that you placed a bet before the off time of a race due to the time it takes for the information to leave your computer, reach your internet service provider and then to reach the bookmaker’s internet service provider and then the bookmaker’s computer, your bet may be to late. The time the bet left your computer is not what counts, it is the time at which the bookmaker’s computer received your bet.
This time delay may also mean that you miss out on the odds that you want. Odds can rapidly change, especially before the off of a race and you need to be quick to place your bet at the desired odds. If you are not fast enough to place your bet, you will miss some odds.

 

Getting started with a betting exchange
If using a betting exchange is new to you, start out with small stakes until you get used to the concept. Don’t forget that lay bets are the opposite proposition to back bets. With back bets you lose just your stake if your horse loses but with lay bets you payout the winnings if the horse wins. Take particular care with laying bets as you can easily lose high multiples of stakes, particularly if you start laying all the horses in a race. Although you are acting like a bookmaker, you haven’t got. the bookmakers 17 per cent guaranteed profit built into the prices. Online bookmakers do go bust leaving the bettors unpaid so keep only the minimum that you need to bet in the internet account and clear out any winnings as soon as possible. If your exchange does go bust, then your losses will be minimized.
 

Hedging
Hedging a bet is making an additional bet to guarantee a profit. Because a betting exchange allows you back and lay, you are able to take advantage of price changes and ensure you make a profit regardless of the outcome of the race. Suppose you have bet on a horse to win £100 at 20.0 and its price drops down to 8.0. If you then lay £250 at 8.0, you will make a profit of £150 (less commission) regardless of whether the horse wins or looses.

If the horse wins, your back bet, £100 at 20.0, wins, giving a return of £2000. The stake is £100 so the profit is £1900. Your lay bet £250 at 8.0 loses and you lose £1750.

Your net profit on the two bets is 1900 -1750 = £150.

If the horse loses, your lay bet £250 at 8.0 wins, giving a return of £250. Your back bet, £100 at 20.0 loses, so you lose your stake of £100. Your net profit on the two bets is £250 – £100 = £150.

You could also hedge just a portion of your bet, for example, you initially back £100 at 20.0, the price drops and you lay just £100 at 8.0. If the horse wins, your win bet £100 at 20 wins, giving a return of £2000. The stake is £100 so the profit is £1900. Your lay bet £100 at 8.0 loses and you lose £700. Your net profit on the two bets is 1900 – 700 = £1200.

If the horse loses, your win bet £100 at 20.0 loses and you lose your stake of £100. Your lay bet, £100 at 8.0, wins and you win £100. Your net profit on the two bets is zero.

In this situation, you win £1200 if the horse wins and you lose nothing if it loses.

 

Time lags
It is possible to take advantage of time lags as it takes time for the prices from the race course to have an effect on the exchange prices. One of the best times to take advantage of price changes is while other races are running. On a Saturday, for example, there may be a race off at 3.30 and another at 3.35, while the 3.30 race is running, most people who have bet on the earlier race will be watching it, and will not be concentrating on what is happening to the prices on the 3.35 race. By comparing bookmakers’ prices to exchange prices, there may be an opportunity to anticipate price moves and to make your bets while most of the other bettors are otherwise occupied.

There are sites on the intemet that provide odds comparison services, they show you the prices across a range of bookmakers and exchanges allowing you to spot the firm offering the best price.

 

Sports betting
It is possible to bet on almost any sport on the internet via bookmakers, betting exchanges and spread betting firms. The basic principles of betting are similar to horse racing. Bookmakers offer sports betting at fixed odds. Betting exchanges allow the bettors to decide their own odds. Spread betting firms make predictions about sporting events and the customers bet on how correct those predictions are. Due to the value offered Asian handicaps and in-running betting on the exchanges are popular methods of betting on sports.

 

Asian handicaps
As the name suggests Asian handicaps originated in Asia. They were originally a way for friends to bet with one another on the outcome of a football match. With a football match, there are three possible outcomes – win, lose or draw. For most individuals calculating three-way odds is complex. To simplify matters each team was given odds of evens and a handicap to theoretically equalize their chance of winning. A team is given a half- one-goal or more handicap. The handicap can be a positive or a negative figure. Where a fraction of a goal is used as a handicap, a draw is eliminated. The handicap is added to the final score to give the result on which the bet is settled. If, after taking the handicap into consideration, there is a draw, the stakes are refunded.

Example
Manchester Utd -0.5 odds = 2.1
Liverpool +0.5 odds = 1.9

If you bet on Liverpool to win, the handicap is added to Liverpool’s final score. If the match is a draw at 1:1, taking into account the handicap, the result is Manchester 1, Liverpool 1.5. This means a win for Liverpool. Your bet wins and is paid at odds of 1.9. A £1 bet would return £1.90.

If you bet on Manchester Utd to win and the final score was 2:2, the handicap would be added to Manchester’s score. The result would be Manchester Utd 1.5, Liverpool 2. Your bet would lose.
 

In some Asian handicap markets there may be two handicaps given for a team. In this case the stake is divided between the two handicaps.

Example
Manchester Utd 0 and -0.5 odds = 2.1

Liverpool 0 and +0.5 odds = 1.9

Final score Manchester 1, Liverpool 1

£10 win Liverpool.

£5 is placed on the handicap of 0 and £5 on the handicap of +0.5.

For the handicap of zero the result is Manchester 1, Liverpool 1. This is a draw. The £5 stake is refunded.

For the handicap of +0.5, the result is Manchester 1, Liverpool 1.5. Liverpool wins.

The bet is settled at odds of 1.9. 1.9 x 5 = 6.9

Total returns = 5 + 6.9 = £11.90

 

In-running betting
In-running betting is placing a bet on an event once it has started. For example, betting on the result of a football match after the kick-off. In-running betting can often provide value bets. For example, suppose you want to bet on the underdog in a football match, If you wait until the match has kicked off you can often get a better price than before. This is because the favourite will be highly backed and to balance their books the bookmakers will lengthen the price on the other team.

Texas Hold’em Poker – Le Turn, River et Showdown

La turn
Le donneur brûle une carte et une quatrième carte ouverte est distribuée pour intégrer les trois autres cartes communes.
Chaque joueur resté en lice peut constituer la meilleure combinaison de cinq cartes à partir de six cartes: deux cartes fermées et quatre cartes ouvertes.

Le troisième tour d’enchères
Il est similaire au deuxième tour d’enchères.
La seule spécificité: les enchères minimales doublent au troisième et quatrième tour d’enchères.
Ainsi dans une partie 10 €/20 €, il faut désormais miser 20 € pour ouvrir le pot.
Joueur 1 : Donneur uniquement.
Joueur 3 : Comme le joueur 2 s’est couché au flop, c’est au joueur 3 de parler. Il décide de checker.
Joueur 4 : Il décide d’ouvrir en mettant 20 €.
Joueur 5 : Il relance de 20 € en mettant 40 €.
Joueur 3 : Il décide de se coucher.
Joueur 4 : Il suit en mettant 20 €.

La river
Le donneur brûle une carte. Une cinquième carte – la dernière ouverte – est distribuée pour intégrer les quatre autres cartes communes.
Le board ou tableau est considéré complet avec cinq cartes ouvertes.
Les joueurs restés en lice doivent alors constituer la meilleure combinaison de cinq cartes à partir des sept cartes: deux cartes fermées et cinq cartes ouvertes.

Le dernier tour d’enchères
Il est en tout point similaire au troisième tour d’enchères.
Au terme du dernier tour d’enchères, les joueurs restants arrivent au showdown.

Il ne reste plus que deux joueurs dans la partie. Les joueurs 1, 2 et 3 ont abandonné en cours de route.
Joueur 1 : Donneur
Joueur 4 : Il décide de checker.
Joueur 5 : Il ouvre à 20 €.
Joueur 4 : Il relance de 20 € en misant 40 €.
Joueur 5 : Il relance de 20 € en misant 40 € également. Il est actuelle¬ment à 60 €.
Joueur 4 : Il décide payer son adversaire pour voir ses cartes et met 20 € dans le pot.
Les deux joueurs sont à égalité, avec 60 € chacun dans le pot. C’est alors le showdown.

Le showdown
S’il reste au moins deux joueurs au terme du dernier tour d’enchères, les deux cartes fermées de chaque joueur sont révélées. Celui qui aura constitué la combinaison la plus forte à l’aide de ses deux cartes fermées et des cinq cartes ouvertes emportera la totalité du pot, c’est-à-dire toutes les mises depuis le premier tour d’enchères.
À noter qu’un joueur peut utiliser ses deux cartes fermées, une seule ou même aucune pour constituer la meilleure combinaison possible de cinq cartes. S’il n’utilise pas ses cartes fermées, on dit qu’il joue le board, c’est-à-dire qu’il compose une combinaison à partir des cartes communes uniquement.

Joueur 4: 7(P) 7(CA)
Joueur 5: V(T) 9(C)
Board: 4(CA), D(T), 8(T)      7(T)     10(T) 
 
Le joueur 4 peut afficher au mieux un brelan: 7(P) 7(CA), 7(T) D(T) 10(T).
Le joueur 5 l’emporte avec deux combinaisons possibles:
– Une suite: V(T) 9(P) D(T) 10(T) 8(T)
– Une couleur: V(T) D(T) 8(T) 7(T) 10(T)
Quelque soit la combinaison choisie, celle-ci l’emporte face à un brelan de 7.

Au regard des règles et du déroulement de la partie, pour emporter le pot, il faut soit:
– pousser les joueurs à se coucher en cours de route.
– obtenir la main la plus forte si vous êtes tenu d’aller jusqu’au showdown.

Spielautomaten: Zeigen sie, und sie wird kommen

Wie Sie das richtige Casino betritt, sieht man hoffnungsvolle Spieler, oft zwei–tiefe, in der Schlange, und wartete geduldig an der Reihe, um den Speichel zu ernten, Summen Auszahlungen aus den Spielautomaten. Sie bedienen die Spielautomaten durch Drücken der Tasten oder riss Sie den Hebel an der Seite. Größere Casinos halten Gang nach Gang der Slots, wie Reihen von Mais.

Casinos in der Regel legen die profitabelsten Spielautomaten mit leichtem Zugang zu den wichtigsten Verkehrsflächen, wie Foyer, Restaurants und Bars, und sind äußerst vorsichtig zu High-Hit Frequenzschlitze in Hörweite der drängenden Massen zu platzieren.

Wenn Sie wagen weiter auf der Etage eines Casinos, können Sie diese Philosophie in Aktion zu sehen. Trauben von Menschen sitzen an den Ecken Schlitze, manchmal zwei–tief wie die Individuen in der Schlange geduldig an der Reihe, um den Speichel zu genießen, Summen Auszahlungen erwarten. Je weiter Sie sich durch die Gänge von Slots, können Sie finden ein paar offene Maschinen, aber nicht viele. Als einer Zeile endet, beginnt ein weiterer Gang. Einige der beliebtesten Maschinen sind Double Diamond und Wheel of Fortune.

Hva er grunnen til Monopols popularitet?

Monopol er populært både blant unge og gamle fordi spillet ikke bare gir deg underholdning men også tester og utvikler din finansielle kunnskap enormt. Forfatteren Robert Kiyosaki som skrev den populære “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” serien, nevner ofte Monopol i sine bøker. Han har også senere utviklet et spill kalt Cash Flow som er basert på Monopol.

Hva er egentlig Monopol?

Monopol er et brett spill som dreier seg om land og eiendommer. Spillerne får utdelt en viss sum penger og de må så kjøpe steder eller eiendommer med pengene. Hvert sted, eller site, har et kort som oppgir kjøpe verdien på stedet
i tillegg til hva det koster å bygge hus og hoteller. Hver gang et hus eller hotell blir bygget kan spilleren plassere et lite grønt plastik hus på stedet han kjøpte.
Dersom en konkurrent lander på din site må du innhente husleie. Jo flere hus du har på din site jo mere må motspilleren betale.
Dersom et hotell er bygget er husleien ekstremt høy.

Formålet med spillet er at spillerne må kjøpe så mange steder som de kan for så å bygge så mange hus som mulig for å kunne samle inn motspillernes penger. Normal, fire spillere kan spille spillet. Spillet kan ta lang tid og kan virke komplisert for nybegynnere.

How Bets are matched at a Betting Exchanges

A bet is not actually made until it is matched. If someone backs a horse £100 at 5.00 and someone is willing to lay those odds then the bet is matched. A bet may be matched by one or more people. For example, someone may match £60 worth of the bet and another person £40. Once bets are matched they cannot be cancelled.
The bets are held in a queue and are dealt with in the order in which they arrive at the site’s server. The queue works on a first come first-served basis, so it pays to place bets early in order to get a match. Any bets that are not matched by the start of the race will be void and the stakes refunded. The better the odds that you offer, the more likely you are to get a match.

Partial matching

Suppose you want to stake £10 on Dobbin at odds of 10.5. On the betting screen, you would enter odds of 10.5 and your stake of £10. £2 of your bet would be matched and the remaining £8 would be unmatched. On the lay side of the odds, 10.5 £8 would appear, with the current best price of 11 £266 moving one place to the right. Once your 10.5 £8 stake has been matched it will disappear from the odds screen.

The odds for Dobbin are refreshed in the table:

9.8       10           Dobbin                10.5       11       11.5
£54      £497                                  £8         £266    £200

 

If someone decides to lay these odds, that is bet £8 at 10, your bet would be matched and the betting screen will now be as
shown:

9.8       10           Dobbin                11       11.5       13.5
£54      £497                                 £266    £200       £8

On your personal account screen it would show that your £10 bet at odds of 10.5 has been matched. Now that your bet has been matched it can no longer be cancelled. 


Ordering odds

If the odds that you want are not currently available you can place an order for them. Your bet may be fully matched, partially matched or unmatched. If your order is matched then the bet is made. If your order is not matched by the time of the off then your bet is void. There is a limit to the odds than can be ordered. Odds lower than 1.01 are not allowed odds over 1000 not allowed.

If, for example, odds of 4.5 are offered for a horse to win and you want odds of at least 5.0 and want to stake £100, then you place an order for odds of 5.0 and offer a stake of £100. If another person is willing to lay at these odds, that is bet that the horse will lose, then your bet is matched. Your bet can be matched up to your maximum stake of £100. Your bet will be made if someone is prepared to stake £500 that the horse will lose. That is enough to payout your winnings. What may happen is that your bet is matched with several people’s lay bets. For example, one lay bet of £10, one lay bet of £20 and one lay bet of £50. If by the off these are the only three matches then you will have a bet of £80 at odds of 5.0. The additional £20 will be void. If the horse wins, you will receive £420, where £400 is your winnings and £20 is void. Commission will be calculated on the net winnings of £320. At 5 per cent, the commission will be £16. You will therefore receive £404.

If you offer odds to other betters you will need to make your odds competitive in order to get a match.

To stop ridiculous odds being offered like 1000/1 when the current odds are 5/1, an order can usually only be placed within a certain increment of the current best price. You will need to consult the exchange rules for the increments.

Example
You could bet £2 at odds of 10.5 and place an order for £8 at odds of 10.5. Your £8 bet would only be valid if someone else is willing to match it.

 

9.8       10       10.5       Dobbin          11       11.5       13.5
£54      £497    £2                             £266    £200       £8
 
If you took this option the 10.5 odds would dissapear from the highlighted column to be replaced by the odds of 10. On the lay side, your odds of 10.5 with £8 underneath would appear in the highlighted column where it will remain until somone matches it, that is, decides they want to stake £8 at a price of 10.5 that the horse will loose.
 
9.8       10            Dobbin          10.5    11       11.5       13.5
£54      £497                            £8       £266    £200       £8
 
 
 
Best odds
If you place a bet at the odds of 6.0 and odds of 6.5 are available then your bet will be matched at these odds as they are better then 6.0. They will not be matched with odds of 5.5 as these are worse odds.
 
 

Back all and lay all

The betting screen also gives you the opportunity to back all the runners.  This is backing the entire field to win, that is all the horses that are running. Lay all is laying the entire field, that is all the horses to lose.

 

Official result

All winning bets are settled according to the official result at the time of the "weigh-in". This means that if, for example, a horse is later disqualified due to a positive drug test, the result at the "weigh-in" still counts.

 

Non-runners

If a horse is a non-runner, all unmatched and matched bets on the horse are void. If the race is a walkover (there is only one runner) all bets are void on that race. If a horse is withdrawn from a race once a market has been formed then depending on the price of the withdrawn horse, the prices on the remaining horses may be lowered. You are advised to check the betting exchange’s rules.

The amount that the price is reduced by is a percentage and called the reduction factor. It is based on the rule 4 system that bookmakers use. Prior to betting on a race, each horse is given a reduction factor based on the exchange’s estimates of each horse’s chance of winning. Unmatched bets to lay will be cancelled.

In the win market, reductions are made on the whole odds. With a matched bet at odds of 6.00 and a horse with a reduction factor of 20 per cent, your odds will be reduced by 20 per cent and become odds of 4.80.

In a place market, the reduction factor is made to the win portion of the odds. With a reduction factor of 25 per cent, the win portion of the odds will be reduced 25 per cent, odds of 8 would become 6.25.

Example
For a price of 8, the win portion is the price minus the stake 8-1=7
7×25%=1.75
8 – 1.75 = 6.25

 

Dead heat
In the event of a dead heat, the odds are divided by the number of declared winners for the market. Suppose two horses dead heat for first place and you have backed one of the winners at a price of 5. You will be paid out at a price of 2.5.
