The Essence and Importance of Licensing in Online Bingo

The popularity and mass appeal that online bingo enjoys today would not have been possible had the game not been considerate of player safety. With the need to part with one's sensitive personal information such as banking details, players attach a lot of importance to sites that adhere to the safety regulations. This is probably why the importance of licensed online bingo sites cannot be stressed enough. Though the rules and regulations related to online bingo might not be as interesting to know about as the game itself is, their presence ensures that players can indulge in a good game of bingo without the lurking fear of their confidential information being abused.

As online bingo falls under gambling, the rules and regulations associated with UK bingo are part of the Gambling Act 2005. According to the act, all internet bingo sites should be licensed in any one of the many countries approved by it. Without this, no online bingo site is allowed to advertise in the UK. This Act sets up the Gambling Commission which is the regulatory body for gaming machines, sites, bingo clubs and Casinos in Britain. The Commission's website provides a wealth of knowledge on how to obtain a license and other frequently asked questions. This list of countries, also referred to as the White List, consists of the following:

- Gibraltar Licensing Authority
- Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC)
- Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission
- Malta Lotteries &Gaming Authority
- Antigua Online Gaming Association
- Tasmania Department of Treasury and Finance
- All countries in the European Economic Area (EEA)

Though playing with a site that is not licensed under one of these countries from the White List is not illegal, it amounts to playing with a site that does not merit the government's approval. The argument behind this is that such sites might not adhere to the practiced standards of safety and hence, might not be completely safe for the players. A look at the best bingo operators and the countries they are licensed under, validates the importance of the White List. Some of the major online bingo operators and the countries that have issued a license for them are as follows:

- Cassava - Licensed in Gibraltar and their popular bingo sites are Wink Bingo and Redbus Bingo.
- Virtue Fusion - Licensed in Alderney and used by popular bingo sites such as William Hill and Mecca Bingo.
- Chelbis (Cozy Games) - License issues in Malta and operator of sites such as Gone Bingo and Bingo MagiX.
- Gamesys - Licensed in Gibraltar powering internet bingo sites like Heart Bingo and Sun Bingo.
- Parlay - License issued in Alderney and powering sites likes Crown Bingo and Wonder Bingo.

There are three types of licenses that bingo operators can obtain from the gambling commission to carry out their business. These include an Operating License, a Personal Management License and a Premises License. While some operators may need all three licenses to run their businesses smoothly, some others could suffice with fewer.

The Operating License is the one that most operators providing bingo services cannot do without. Operating licenses, on the other hand, are of two types - non remote bingo operating license and remote bingo operating license. In case of the bingo operation being at home, fund-raising, as prize gaming, etc., the operator need not apply for the Operating License. All those who need the Operating License will also require the Personal Management License, unless they qualify as a small-scale operator. The Premises License, which can be obtained from the local licensing authority, is only for bingo hall based operators.

Apart from opting for a licensed site to play with, players should also look out for the seals of other regulatory bodies such as eCOGRA (e-Commerce Online Gambling Regulation and Assurance) as well as the Gamcare logo to ensure the safest online bingo experience possible. As there are no industry bodies to assist players engaged in a dispute with an online bingo site, precautions such as reading the terms and conditions carefully will go a long way to avoid any untoward situations.

Do You Have to Guess Your Lotto Numbers in Exact Order to Win the Lottery Jackpot?

If you have never played the lottery, you might be asking yourself if you have to guess your lotto numbers in exact order to win the jackpot. Luckily, you don't have to; all you have to do is choose your numbers and as long as they all get drawn, in any order, you win.

I say luckily for a reason - The odds of winning the jackpot in a lottery are bad. If you had to guess your numbers in exact order, it would be impossible because the odds would be much worse. How much worse would it be? Read on to see the math.

Let's look at an example. One of the most popular lotto formats in the world is 6/49, where you must match 6 numbers out of a possible 49. To calculate the odds of winning the 649 jackpot, you must calculate the following equation: (49x48x47x46x45x44)/(1x2x3x4x5x6). The answer is 13,983,816. That means that the odds of winning are 1-in-13,983,816. Now, if you had to guess the numbers drawn, but also had to guess the exact order that they are drawn, this is how you would calculate the odds: 49x48x47x46x45x44. The answer is 10,068,347,520. That means that the odds of winning the jackpot would be 1-in-10,068,347,520. That's more than 1-in-10-billion. Now that would be virtually impossible to win.

As it is now, hundreds of people win lottery jackpots every year. If people had to guess lotto numbers in exact order, we'd be lucky to see just one big winner in a five year period. If this were the case, most people wouldn't even play any more.

Free Running

'Free running' Parkour is a sport in which contestants try to pass obstacles in their surroundings as quickly and smoothly as possible. Founded by David Belle, its origins are in France and Sébastien Foucan gave it its English name. The game was inspired by the 'Natural Method of Physical Culture' developed by George Hébert in the early 20th century. Raymond Belle, a Vietnam soldier, introduced the game to his son David.

A group called Yamakasi was set up to establish the game, but the members fell out with each other because of disagreements. 'Yamakasi' is a Lingala word, spoken in the Democratic Republic of Congo and it means 'strong spirit, strong body, strong man.' For many, Parkour is an extreme sport while others compare it to martial arts like karate. It is admired as an art of movement or, as the French prefer to call it, "l'art du déplacement". It has a sense of freedom, the ability to overcome boundaries. You could jump from railings, staircases, jump over walls and any other thing that is in your way. Contestants would move from point A to B in a steady and continuous manner. The movements could be forward, over, under, around and through obstacles. These obstacles could be man-made or natural.

People who practice Parkour are called traceurs or free runners. They could be running, jumping, climbing and using any other complicated techniques. Essentially actions have to be adapted to the given circumstances, so that obstacles may be overcome with human capabilities. David Belle said the "spirit" of free running is directed somewhat by the concept of escaping and reaching. So the contestant has to be quick-thinking and agile to reach the goal, much like hunters of the primitive days. Another well-known traceur Sébastien Foucan remarks on its fluidity and beauty. Jerome Ben Aoues, an experienced traceur speaks about this in a documentary made on Parkour called Jump London. He speaks of the sheer elegance and beauty of the sport.

If one thinks about it, we are, naturally, free runners and have been so since our child hood. Have a look at children - they are always bursting out of their confines. As the commentary in Jump London says, "And really the whole town was there for us; there for free running." Many purists do not agree with the outlandish techniques associated with free running.

A traceur would need good running and jumping techniques. Rolling to reduce impact and vaulting to clear barriers could be advantages. David Belle says that efficient movement is the key in Parkour, so flips and tricks wouldn't really be part of the game.

Parkour seems to be getting more and more popular. The British public first saw it in all its beauty in 2002, in the BBC station trailer Rush Hour, as David Belle jumped across rooftops to go from his office to home, to see his favorite BBC program. The James Bond thriller, "Casino Royale" rooftop chase is considered a Parkour sequence. As are certain sequences in the Nike ads. Today the sport seems to be growing commercially and there is training available. But as it is a new concept, it is continuously evolving and changing.

6. Bottom line is, in playing and looking for the winning Powerball number combination, the best tip is to have a system in place. Most tried and tested lottery programs use statistical analysis, number trends and a special picking system that will boost the odds of winning against the house. This is a whole lot better than letting your luck take the wheel in Powerball gaming.

It gives a good feeling being thrilled and satisfied most especially if the player wins the jackpot. These days, winning at slot machines is not brought by mere luck but by extra effort exerted by the player. Indeed, lucky charms are not so much effective at slot machines. If you are a slot player, you have to have strategies to gain more than the fun.

If you are a first time player of slots, it is better to learn of the rules and regulations governing the game first. Researching through the internet and asking the staff of the Casino about their certain rules are extra efforts you need to at least do if you want a better and fulfilling game. In addition, try inquiring from the staff of the Casino about any details that you will be needing in your game. Some of the most important things you should be asking are details on the payouts, giveaways, and bonuses. Do not hesitate to ask them as this is their job - to entertain and assist you as their customers.

Also, if you are a first time player, try having practices first before betting real money. In both online and traditional land based casinos, there are free games and fun modes which a player may use for practice. Slots may be an easy game but you need to develop strategies for it if you want to have better and more satisfying slot games.

Now, before you enter the casino, prepare your self. Do not go in there on impulse. It is recommended that you set a certain budget for your game. Assess your self if how much you can afford to spend on that day. To be sure, convince your self how much you can afford to lose that day. If not, set a certain time frame for your leisure time in the casino. Once you reached the limit (you consumed all the set budget or the time has lapsed), stop playing and leave the casino. It is true that being in the casino and playing at slot machines is addicting. However, you have your own will and self control. Do not ever think to win back all your lost money. This is quite near impossible. If you happened to win at a slot machine, have your prize in check and play with another slot machine. That slot machine will win your prize back. The reason why you have to have the prize in check is that for you to avoid using your prize to play. Casinos accept only cash; no vouchers or check.

We have mentioned on the earlier paragraphs that you inquire about freebies and bonuses the casino offers. This is important for you to at least have compensation even if you had many losing blues. Find and play with slot machines that offer free rounds or free spins. Look for those that give extra other bonuses. If there are any opportunities that you can have complimentary items, grab it. For example, if the casino gives you a club card, get it and do not forget to use it every time you play. Insert it at the designated area in the machine to be able to accrue points which you may trade for comps.

How Much Do Super Bowl Tickets Cost?

America loves to spend money on the Super Bowl. From buying a new high definition television for game day to multi-million dollar ad spots during the game, the Super Bowl inspires super spending as much as it celebrates football. Actually going to the Super Bowl and watching it in person will cost a person several thousand dollars.

Super Bowl tickets as of January 16th are readily available on eBay. Auctions for Super Bowl tickets are getting plenty of attention and money thrown at them. For example, a pair of tickets for the lower level end zone area of the stadium in Glendale, Arizona where Super Bow XLII will be played on February 3rd recently sold at auction on eBay for $7,302.00 after attracting 16 bids. Another auction that closed on the same day at eBay saw 24 bids that topped out at $6,001.00 for two tickets in the upper level end zone area.

Auctions at eBay are not the only source of Super Bowl tickets. Any search at a search engine will produce dozens of ticket sellers where people can buy tickets without having the unpredictability of an auction's final price. Prices are high across the board. At Ticket Master's website, a deluxe four-night trip with hotel suite accommodations that includes two tickets at the club level to 15 yard line costs a whopping $15,384 for two people. At Stubhub.com a ticket for a seat at the Super Bowl in the terrace end of the stadium starts at $3,750.

Everything about attending the Super Bowl is expensive. Parking passes cost at least $150! That's enough to make even a New York City resident flinch. Someone actually attending the Super Bowl can cash out a little of its value with souvenirs after the game. Old Super Bowl ticket stubs from years past are auctioning at eBay for over $40. Not exactly big money, but if you see a ticket stub on the ground it is certainly worth picking up.

Because actually attending the Super Bowl is expensive, many sports fans choose to enjoy the event with home parties or a trip to Las Vegas. Because of its legal sports betting, Las Vegas has traditionally been a Super Bowl destination. That weekend is extremely busy in Las Vegas, but for even half the cost of attending the Super Bowl a person can have fun all weekend and enjoy the game in a lounge or nice hotel room without sitting on a hard stadium seat.

Tips on How to Wisely Spend Your Lottery Winnings

When you search the internet for some inspirational stories of lottery jackpot winners, you will definitely be inspired to also buy and bet on your own. But along with the inspirational success stories are the tales of how jackpot winners eventually end up in deeper holes of debts, even after they have won millions of dollars from the lottery. Certainly no reader would want to be like those 'rags-to-riches-then-back-to-rags' winners of lottery.

So what should really be done just in case your number gets called during the lottery draw or your scratch card turns out to be your ticket to fortune? You could either jump as high as you can or shout as much as you want for your initial reaction. You would certainly also feel the urge to buy whatever you feel like buying, but first take a deep breath and focus on what would be a smarter idea to maximize the worth of that wads of cash you recently won.

Before planning on any spending or investments, consider these two important things first:

If you have a full-time job, it may be wise not to quit right away from the moment you knew you have become the newest member of the higher social class. If for anything, that job could be a more stable financial means that lottery winnings.
The total amount of jackpot winnings indicated on lottery tickets is the total amount of money. Meaning to say, when you are in the lottery office to claim your prize, there are certain papers and documents you have to fill out. This may probably half of the total winning amount shall be deducted for tax purposes and you should only be able to take home the other half.

Nevertheless, it is the grand prize that has landed onto your hands against all odds, you are still millions of dollars worth after tax has been deducted. Although you are free to spend it anyway you like, this may not be the smartest thing unless you want to be bankrupt in the end. Instead, seek assistance from a good financial adviser if possible. This adviser can help you to spend and allot every single cent or dime wisely.

Pay your debts, if there are any. Should you really be set on shopping, it would be good to start with buying small items only or have some small purchases initially. A car or a house may seem like the best investment for your money but do not buy impulsively. Look around first for the best deal and do not just grab anything at first sight. Set a limit or a budget for any purchases, whether big or small.

Since you already have the money in your possession, there is possibly no need to always swipe your credit card when shopping. For smaller amounts, pay in cash to eliminate high amounts of interest in credit card shopping. However, be sure that you stick to your set budget and do not go over the limit as this can be a way of draining up your lottery riches.

Instead of spending all your money on non-profitable goods, why not allocate a big amount for a business, buy stocks and bonds or any kind of investment that would give you additional earnings in the near future. Your financial adviser can also give you recommendations on this.

Is the Lottery Fixed? The Shocking Truth About Lottery Fraud You Must Not Miss

Is the lottery fixed? Are there lottery scams, shams and secret techniques that tips the odds in one person's favor? And with some many conspiracy theorists about lottery winnings and winners....is there any real PROOF that any lottery has ever been rigged? Any of these questions sound familiar? If they do....you are NOT alone! Most of the passionate players, gamers and lottery observers like to OPINE about the likelihood a given lottery drawing is fixed......and if you don't know the facts, the truth may shock you for sure! Curious to know more? Great....continue reading as we take a closer look below!

Filed Under: The Fix IS In!

Want to know the truth? While conspiracy theorists of all types and stripes have gossiped about the lottery being fixed for as long as it's been around, there have been very few cases where it's actually been true. But did you know that in Pennsylvania, in 2000, the daily number WAS in fact fixed? It's true...and was called the "Triple Six Fix" when the three digits "666" came up and CASHED in for 3.5 million dollars. But it turns out that the ping pong balls were WEIGHTED down, with the exception of 4's and 6's, making the outcome mathematically almost impossible to miss for players. 7 people were indicted.....and the inside job was exposed for what it really was: a FIXED lottery once and for all..:-)

Filed Under: A Legitimate Advantage

Honestly? You don't need a fixed lottery to turn the tables to your advantage. As many multiple winners already know...ALL you need is a SYSTEM! And while most people will never win any real money from the lottery....those smart enough to play a system ROUTINELY win big. (and a super small, secret SUBSET of them have won many multiple's of times....often winning in just about every lotto, drawing or game system there is!)

The Bottom Line?

Lottery fraud is not common. It doesn't happen often...and when it does, it's usually caught! Fraud is NOT the way to win big. Neither is cheating. Be smart. Be systematic. And be willing to exploit little known "loopholes" to MASSIVELY tilt the odds in your favor.

Secret Lottery Winning Tips

Don't think lucky. Think smart. Some of these tips may seem obvious at first sight, but I bet you've made some of these common mistakes at one time or another.

1. You've got to be in it to win it - OK, that's not much of a secret, but it's amazing how many people forget to enter, arrive at the terminal too late, go on holiday, or it's too cold to go out - and a whole host of other reasons. The best way to ensure continuity of entries is to join an automated system that takes care of everything for you.

2. Make sure you claim all winnings, even the smallest. You wouldn't believe winners would fail to claim even a tenner, but they do, and doesn't your heart just ache when you hear about the thousands of pounds that go unclaimed. What was the story behind it? Did the dog eat the ticket, was it lost? Imagine the heart-ache of knowing your regular set of numbers was the winner, but you couldn't find the ticket. Again, a centralised automated system will do all this for you.

3. Choose your numbers carefully - it's not that some sets of numbers are more likely to win than others. They're not. Each set has an equal chance. But if you choose the same numbers as many other people, should that series be drawn, you will be sharing your win with all those who chose the same number sets.

4. To maximise your winnings - you need to maximise the number of lines you buy. At one level this is obvious too, but common-sense dictates that you must stick within a budget. Buying extra tickets needn't be as expensive as you'd first think.

5. One simple way to maximise your number of lines is to join a lottery syndicate where you share in the winnings of a group of friends, but without increasing your own costs. For instance I am in one syndicate where entries start from just a tenner a quarter, and even if YOU don't win, you can win when your friends do.

6. Running a syndicate is hard work if you "do-it-yourself". Finding enough members to have a significantly better chance of winning, chasing them for money every week, replacing drop-outs, buying tickets, and dividing the winnings. Save yourself this hassle - automate it!

7. Spread your risk over different Lottery games. The syndicate I play in is so very affordable that you can do this without breaking the bank. Winning when my friends win means I can get a prize even from tickets someone else bought.

8. Minimise your cost of playing. My syndicate offers an optional way to play for free, or at least reduce the monthly cost, by introducing a few other players. Many people have no interest in this whatsoever and that's fine - but if you're playing for free and just accumulating wins, there's no reason to cancel your lottery syndicate subscription.

I hope you've found food for thought in those simple pointers.

Best Lottery Numbers To Play and Why?

The truth behind the lottery is simple. You have a set of numbers in which you are trying to match with the little balls that come out of the tube. That's it! So why is so difficult and why is it that people win 2 or 3 times and now have complete financial freedom.

The truth is, the lottery is almost all luck, but there also is a lot of skill involved as well. Think of it this way. If are a football fanatic and you know exactly which team is going to win, how much would you bet on that team? A lot! If you had no clue about football and you had to guess which team would win, how much would you bet? Not very much.

This is the exact same way the lottery is being played nowadays. People pick the correct numbers because they understand the system, the calculations, and the strategies that will win almost every time. They take a look at the past to predict the future. They discover simple formulas that will lead them to huge success rate.

Picking the best lottery numbers is not just picking a set of numbers, it's a system. A system that has been tested over and over by thousands of people. These people are not lucky, they are smart. Thus, there luck has just increased.

So if you want to pick the best numbers, you need to find a way to learn from these people Find a way to discover which numbers are more likely to come up tomorrow. When you do that, you will see success.

How to Win the Take 5 Lottery

Take 5 is one of the New York lottery games where you can easily win big bucks with just a few investments. It has the best odds of all the lottery draw games. All you have to do is bet on five numbers from 1 to 39. You can bet on your own combination by filling in the corresponding squares on the play card or you can let the QuickPick machine do the selection for you. You can play for a minimum of $1 per game or up to $5 on the 5-game play card.

The winning combination is drawn via live telecast every 11:21 PM on WABC channel 7. Half of the total sales for the day are allocated to the prize money, so the jackpot accumulates until someone hits it. The largest Take 5 jackpot so far was $825,960.00.

Being a game of chance that it is, increasing your chances in winning the Take 5 lottery is pure logic. Avoid selecting all even or odd numbers because they are less likely to get drawn. Mixture of odd and even numbers has approximately 66% chances of occurring. Also mix the high and low numbers, the low being the numbers 1 to 20 and the high, 21 to 39. Having at 3 highs and 2 lows or 3 lows and 2 highs are 64% more likely to be drawn.

It is also not logical to bet on numbers from one number group. It is very unlikely that a draw would have all single digits, teens, 20's or 30's. The same goes with multiples like 2 4 6 8 10 or 3 6 9 12 15 and consecutive numbers like 35 36 37 38 39 or 1 2 3 4 5. A combination having the same last digits like 2 12 22 32 has less than 1% of being drawn.

Winning this lottery game would also entail a little research on its history. Knowing the past winning combinations will give you a hint on the best numbers to bet on. It is proven that numbers that appeared on the last 10 games will have 79% of appearing on the next draw. And numbers that rarely appeared within the last 70 games are worth chasing.

To have a higher likelihood of winning, you may also need to do a simple math. Add up your combination, and make sure that the sum is between 70 and 130. 70% of the time, the total for the winning combination is within that range.

The New York Take 5 is just like any lottery. It is a game of chance. And just like any other game, you can always have that chance on your side if you are diligent enough to analyze how it is played. The odd in winning in this game is 1 in 575,757. It may be a tremendous odd for you. But if you were to think about it, it is best odd in any of the other New York lottery games.

Beating Casino Slot Machines - How to Beat Some Slot Machines in Local Casinos

Slot machines in Casinos are the top money earner. In the late 90's the slot machine builder, IGT came out with a new machine called Visions. They were simply already everyday common Casino slot machines with an added feature, a bonus. Most of these came out as a monitor located somewhere in the top section of the machine. Ninety percent of these machines were beatable slot machines. Yes beatable, you can win on slots! How you ask? It was secret that was actually a very simple concept.

A traditional slot machine has a random generator which is activated and chooses the spin the moment your first credit is activated. This is what determines what you hit on the pay line and what the machines final percentages will be. Traditionally the higher you go in denomination on a slot, the better the percentage it is set. So how do you win?

On a Vision machine from IGT the difference is this. The percentages on the pay line is far less than a traditional machine. This is because some of the percentage is added to the bonus on the Visions. This bonus which is usually found in the video screen can be many different ones. Have you ever seen a picture of a cartoon looking cherry pie in a monitor on top of a cherry pie slot machine? Or a picture of a diamond mine that has a little cartoon looking screen flashing by while you play. These are two of the many IGT Visions we are discussing.

There are hundreds of different styles of beatable IGT Visions, the Cherry Pie and Diamond Mine are two of the most popular machines here. As an example we will go into the details on the Diamond Mine. The Diamond Mine (like almost all IGT Visions) has a video screen at the top. There will be 3 columns that hold up to 10 Diamonds each. The traditional version is on a Double Diamond machine. On the reels all is the same except the added diamond. Not the Double Diamond emblems that represent 2 x on the pay line, but actual graphics of a diamond. This diamond does not count for anything on the pay line. It only adds 1, 2, or 3 diamonds (depending if you bet 1, 2, or 3) into the columns above on the video screen when you hit a diamond on the adjacent reel.

When you get 10 diamonds in any one column, you get 10 credits. There are simply 2 things to know about a Diamond Mine.

1) How many Diamonds must it already have? (How many Diamonds are needed on the machine before you can play it with a positive expectation)
2) How many coins do you need to bet each spin. (This depends on the pattern of Diamonds divided in the 3 columns).

The Diamond Mine is one of the least volatile beatable slots (bonus comes very fast) of all the Visions and why it is one of the most popular with 'Hustlers' that have a short bankroll. We will provide a link below to a website with the full information.

One last note:

If you ever played a lot of slots, I bet this happened to you. You noticed it seemed like every time you were on certain machines, someone was over your shoulder watching you play. If it was a IGT Vision there is a good chance there was indeed! These are the guys that knew about this long ago and the same people that eventually caused many to be taken out of casinos. They would tell friends about it until so many people knew about it, they would literally almost break out in a fight when a machine was left with a "Full Bonus".

Those days are far gone, which is honestly a good thing for someone trying to just have a good time and not blow all their cash in the casino. The reason they are gone, is there are FAR less beatable slots today in casinos so there are far less people doing it today.

Online Casino: Texas Holdem Online Poker

This Texas Holdem game began to become quite popular after the game began to be televised. Suddenly the biggest tournaments in Texas Holdem were being shown on mainstream television stations such as ESPN. As the general public began to watch the game, they decided that they liked it more and more and wanted to know more about how this game was played.

Texas Holdem is just a variation of the other Poker games that came before it. The rules themselves are rather simple to learn once you get the hang of it. It is the strategy that keeps people playing the game every day.

In online Poker you start with between 2 and 9 people playing at a single table. Each of the players is dealt two cards from the deck face down. These cards are their cards alone and they do not share what these cards are with any other players. Before they are even dealt these cards though, each player is required to put in a small amount of their chips or money into the pot. Typically this is done in the form of a small blind and a big blind. The small blind requires the player to put in less money than the big blind, but the blinds rotate to each player around the table at the end of each hand.

If you are going to continue to play your hand, then you must put in at least the amount of the big blind into the pot. If you want to put in more this is called a raise. Once you have done this, then all other players who want to continue to play their hands must put in the amount that you have raised to. If you feel that you do not have good cards, then you do not have to continue to play and you put no money in the pot. This process is called folding.

Once all players have decided if they are going to continue playing and have put in the proper amount into the pot, then the dealer puts three cards in the middle of the table face up. These cards are known as community cards and all players at the table use these cards to try to form the best hand. If you are holding a King in your hand and another King is now one of the community cards, then you have a pair of Kings.

After those three cards have been dealt, then another round of betting opens up. You follow the same procedures that you did in the opening round of betting only with the players that have not already folded. If all players but one fold, then there is no need to go any farther at that point. If that happens, then the one remaining player has won the pot.

These steps are followed through two more community cards played out one at a time unless all but one players folds. If at least two players play out all the way through all five community cards, then those remaining players are required to show their cards. The player with the best hand wins the pot at that point. The game plays on like this the same way for as long as the players have predetermined (amount of time or until one player has all the money/chips).

Flight Simulator 2011

Are you looking for MS flight simulator 2011 or do you just want a new flight sim? Well, you better hold off on Microsoft, it seems there is a new player in town called flight sim pro. Microsoft has always been my number one pick in flight sims, but Microsoft's flight simulator 2011 is still not released. I have also heard they are going to be basing it off of there same old game structure.

I made a new years resolution to find a new flight sim for 2011 that is better than Microsoft. I looked around and found a few free simulators that were pretty good for being free, but then I came across flight sim pro. This was just released some months ago, and is my top pick for a flight simulator for 2011. This sim has over 120 planes plus a helicopter or two, 20,000 airports, and some of the best scenery I have ever seen.

I will still be waiting on Microsoft flight simulator 2011, but I just don't think it is going to compare to this new flight simulator. MS has always been the in the cutting edge of flight sims, but I think after the company downsized they but this on there back burner. For now though, I will be going with my new simulator for 2011.

This sim is so realistic it has me on the edge of my seat, and even jumping out of my seat at moments. My wife thought I was crazy, and I tried to explain to her just how real a flight sim feels. She's not a gamer, and just couldn't quite understand.

This new simulator for 2011 has inclement weather and all kinds of other features. It can be raining one second and then snowing the next. Try landing a 747 on an icy runway. If that doesn't make you get on the edge of your seat, then nothing will. One other thing that is so great about this sim, is the support. I don't know if you have ever contacted Microsoft for any kind of support, but it has always been a nightmare for me. This new flight simulator for 2011 responded to my support question within minutes. I couldn't believe it.

If your looking for ms flight simulator 2011, you going to have to wait a bit. If you want to try a new flight sim you will be better off in the long run. There is nothing better than playing a real simulator, and you should definitely try one out. Just make sure you get a real good one that is as realistic as possible. The one I use is flight simulator pro and it has everything you could ever want in a simulator. You will not believe how good this actually is.

How To Win The Lottery - 5 Tips

The majority of our lives are spent behind a counter, in an office, at the beck and call of customers, managers, and the almighty alarm clock. We struggle and fight to reach an age where we no longer have to be burdened by the enormous weight of financial obligation. It is a disheartening way to live.

Sometimes it feels the only way to break free from the cruel chains of fate is to take a chance. With one ticket, one golden lottery ticket, you can go from down on your luck to winning it all. You can finally live the life you intended, your choices no longer limited by the size of your bank account. Dine on the best food. Travel to the most exotic locations. Play. Live.

But winning the lottery is pure luck, right? Wrong. Of course there is always some luck involved but there are things you can do to improve your odds dramatically. Here are 5 tips to get you started.

1) Don't play 7 ball games if you want to win frequently. Play games with a lower number of balls. Play 5 ball games, then 6 ball games if you have no other choice. Your odds of winning increase with the lower ball games.

2) Don't play the lottery games with the highest amount of numbers. The lower the amount of numbers in your game, the better your odds. If you have a choice between two games containing, for example, 35 numbers or 60 - go for the lower number!

3) Do not play lottery games that use computer generated numbers. Make sure they are real balls - ping pong balls are most common - in a washer barrel machine.

4) Don't rely on the lottery shop's quick pick numbers. Using your own numbers and a good lottery system will eliminate the least effective number combinations and improve your chances of winning.

5) Play more tickets and focus your lottery strategy. Concentrate on one lottery game and buy as many tickets as you can. The more tickets you buy, the greater your odds of winning.
