		<description><![CDATA[We have one good sportsbetting resource for you plus a advert from bet365 that is lacking a lot of intelligence.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are looking for <a title="the best sportsbooks" href="http://www.carolinagambler.com/best-sportbooks/" target="_blank">the best sportsbooks</a> then check out Carolina gambler&#8217;s website. They only have a short listing here because it is only THE best places to bet on sports.</p>
<p>The 2nd sportsbook listed that we certainly agree with is <strong>Bet365</strong>. That sportsbook has been around for what seems like forever. Actually just over 10 years to be a bit more precise.  They accepts players around the world including the United Kingdom, Europe and Canada but unfortunately no America at the moment.  If you want the premier league they are on nearly every other advert.  Same goes for football magazines.</p>
<p>There are a <strong>few sportsbooks</strong> as well that accept American players so just have a look for the ones with the US flag icon to help you out.</p>
<p>You will love this gem of a video we found, it is an advert that must have been played on tv in the <strong>United Kingdom</strong>. They try to be funny but the ad is lacking a lot of class but you get the idea. The bottom line is sportsbetting online and of course bet while the game is being played, also known as live better or in play betting.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[When you say poker, others say fear, as in they fear gambling online not knowing if someone is going to steal their money. The doj seizures have literally left millions of players screwed over and unable to access their cash.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Online poker was hit below the belt as the DOJ had seized the top poker domains pokerstars.com and fulltiltpoker.com in April 2011. The end result is you now have players fearing to play online not knowing if the government is going to take their money or let them decide how to spend it. Players used to have a high level of trust in these 2 poker giants now if the government legalizes online poker or gambling, don&#8217;t expect players to come rushing back. Players will be hestitant about depositing money anywhere and some players are just going to quit altogether. Also don&#8217;t expect land based operators to give players the best deal either.</p>
<p>The landscape for online gambling has been completely tilted, no pun intended. Players are left scratching their heads wondering what they have to do to enjoy a good game of online poker.</p>
<p>Some of the biggest losers of these events are professional poker players that have lost their ability to make a living and also players that have had money confiscated and not returned to them. This is very upsetting for many players that might have had over $10,000 in online gambling accounts.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[twoplustwo is the largest online poker forum for poker players or aspiring professionals.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you know what the <strong>largest poker forum</strong> is?  There are many great ones out there including card runners or the people from internet texas holdem but they don&#8217;t compare to the biggest. We are talking about <a title="twoplustwo" href="http://www.twoplustwo.com" target="_self">twoplustwo.com</a> ladies and gentleman.</p>
<p>Actually many of the professional poker players all seem to have started with this forum first. Sites like Card Runners are starting to attract and transform many players into great players but twoplustwo will always remain the go to site that has been around the longest.</p>
<p>At the moment the forum is nearly 1 million threads with over 25 million posts and approaching 300,000<strong> twoplustwo members</strong>.</p>
<p>One of the popular sections of the forum has to do with wasting time in the poker news, views and gossip section which features some outrageous megathreads like blackmail allegations coming from an over hyped poker pro Joe Sebok. Other hot topics include Tom Dwan Durrrr challenge threads and Phil Ivey wasted in Montreal.</p>
<p>Many professional poker players today got their start from this forum. If you want to learn to play poker you will find some of the best information here and also ask your questions to get some of the best answers as well. You really don&#8217;t need books anymore to get off the ground, just a solid game plan and to network with players at your level or coaches.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Some people love to bet on any coin toss, the good ole game of heads or tails. What most people don't understand is they can lose a lot of money on this game by adjusting the payouts of this game when they should be always 50/50. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well I managed to flip heads for 7 consecutive times and the odds of this are slim but not impossible. Some people will use these stats to make poor gambling decisions. Many will take a break even zero house edge game like heads or tails and turn it into something with a built in house edge that goes against them. This only proves that most people just can&#8217;t think or think for themselves.</p>
<p>So what are the odds of getting <strong>7 heads in a row</strong>? Would you bet against it? I wouldn&#8217;t unless I had a house edge somewhere with an incentive. The odds are 1/2 to the exponent 7. If you work this out it is just a not a good number but probably the same number it takes to win at keno, a progressive slot or a jackpot when playing online slots.</p>
<p>Just know the odds are against you but there is absolutely <strong>no house edge</strong> or advantage when flipping coins. Also the previous result has no effect on the next result or the future result and this is where people will bet more money &#8216;knowing&#8217; they are right.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Poker tips and strategies: avoid playing players that are better than you. They might be a robot or a professional poker player but either way both are out to get your money.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It can be tough enough playing against some humans with professional poker players eating up your chip stacks. It is even worse doing this against a robot. How do you know the robot has good strategy and of course is it possible to identify a robot? Robots can be tough to take advantage of unless you can identify the number of levels of strategy it has. Sure enough some professionals have identified bots but know their weaknesses and have used it to exploit these cash machines.</p>
<p>It is tough to know how many robots are playing online poker at any given moment but sure enough more will be caught and there is probably a good network of them that are consistently draining out money from bad and unsuspecting players.</p>
<p>Is there anything you can do to protect yourself? It depends on what you do with poker, are you doing it for fun or are trying to make a living from this? If you are doing it for fun then don&#8217;t bother thinking about robots and just acknowledge they exist. If you want to do this professionally they are more plentiful at the lower stakes than higher stakes. These are some of the competition you are either going to have to learn how to play against or avoid. Poker tracker will help you identify profitable players and you can just say that any winning player is good enough that you don&#8217;t need to play against them.</p>
<p>Just identify good table situations and avoid playing against players that you know are better than you. As for <strong>poker robot strategy</strong> and tips, that is as far as it goes. Until online poker rooms can track them and block them, you are stick with them.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Spot the drunks at your table and take advantage of their poor play and over agressiveness. As a professional poker player you should never mix poker and alcohol.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From time to time playing live poker you can spot poker players who like to have some alcoholic drinks. From a professional poker point of view this is a huge mistake. No pro should be drinking while playing &#8211; working. To do such a thing you might as well pretend you are gambling instead of working.</p>
<p>Alcohol causes players to make more mistakes and your memory won&#8217;t be as sharp either. Alcohol makes players more emotional and professional poker players are supposed to have the most control over their emotions.</p>
<p>The reality is that <strong>poker and alcohol</strong> don&#8217;t mix and you shouldn&#8217;t mix the 2 either.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The online poker business is a strangely fierce and competitive one.  It is very difficult for a poker room to compete with the giants such as PokerStars and Full Tilt especially for the US markets. If you want to see an example of a poker affiliate</p>
<p>If you want a listing of <a title="poker affiliate programs" href="http://gaffg.com/affiliate-programs/poker/" target="_self">poker affiliate programs</a> visit the gaffg website. A few poker affiliates sites as examples include <a title="rakeback resource" href="http://www.rakebackresource.com/" target="_self">rakeback resource</a> which helps players get rake back and <a title="poker top" href="http://pokertop.com" target="_self">poker top</a> which lists the top poker rooms and top poker bonuses.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Don't fall into the trap of bad poker bankroll management. This is what causes many professional poker players to fail.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many poker players have poor <strong>bankroll management</strong> and 99% of poker players have never heard the word before either.  Poker truly is a game of skill and one thing all good poker players should be doing is not playing outside of their bankroll means. To do such a thing can lead to a player tilting or if an unlucky set of cards comes up it could bust a player.</p>
<p>This has happened to many <strong>professional poker players</strong> and one pro who is notorious for playing with bad management is Gus Hansen. If you google his name and look for rumors you will find many discussions about him being repeatedly bankrolled because he has gone broke a few times.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Feel like buying a lottery ticket? Save your money and find out why lottery winners are all losers.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you know that most lottery winners are losers? The truth is that all lottery players are losers but some of the biggest losers happen to be the ones that win the lottery. This is all you need to know, after 5 years about 90% of lottery winners will go bankrupt. Of course you ask everyone on the streets and they all say they would never let that happen to them. What makes them different or special than this 90% statistic? The truth is if you play the lottery you are not making the best use of your money. The only winners are the companies and governments behind lotteries that rake in billions per year.</p>
<p>So how does this work or how does this happen where someone who wins $80 million in a lottery will be bankrupt in 5 years. Can&#8217;t they just put $10 million in the bank and live off the interest for the rest of their lives? If these lottery winners had proper money management skills they wouldn&#8217;t have bought the lottery ticket in the first place. These lottery winners turn into shopoholics and practically set their money on fire and really increase their spending to ridiculous proportions.</p>
<p>So if you like to dabble into lottery tickets maybe you should think twice and save your money the next time you go out shopping and you get an urge to buy a lottery ticket.</p>
