How to Gamble Without Addiction
November 3rd, 2009 / Posted by Suicidalsam in Gambling Addiction, General Gambling is big business, earning the gaming industry billions of dollars each year. In fact, Americans spend more money on legal gambling than they do on movie tickets, recorded music, theme parks, spectator sports and video games combined. A recent program on the Discovery Channel stated that gambling is so attractive, that when the lottery is high, ninety percent of eligible adults buy a ticket! Most people who gamble enjoy gambling as a game; its exciting and fun. And most are able to gamble without risking a gambling addiction. Just as many people can have a glass or two of wine with dinner without becoming an alcoholic, so can they buy a lottery ticket in California, visit a racetrack in Kentucky or even spend their vacation in Panama casinos without serious long-term issues. Anyone who has visited a casino knows how easy it is to feed money into the machines. Still, the occasional visit to a casino does not indicate a problem and many people are able to gamble without addiction as long as they gamble responsibly and keep several important things in mind. Set a realistic budget and stick to it Leave all your credit cards at home except one for an emergencyand losing all your cash because you fed it into the slot machine is not an emergency! This card is in case your car breaks down or you get stranded, not to get an extra $500 for the tables. Also, take only the amount of cash that you can afford to lose. Avoid temptation by not bring any cash that has already been set aside for necessities, like groceries or rent; if its in your pocket, you might be tempted to risk it. Limit or avoid alcoholIts best not to drink while you are gambling as this is a good way to lose more money than you can afford to lose. Alcohol can dull the senses and cause you to make choices that you might not otherwise make so this policy will keep you from making a stupid choice, such as taking $500 out from your credit card, for example. Set a time limit for gambling Wear a watch. The whole idea in a casino is to cause you to lose track of time and spend more money. All the flashing lights and bells from the slot machines as well as the artificial lighting are meant to give you a false sense of reality. If you wear a watch, you can tell how long it takes you to lose a certain amount of money and, if you lose what you can afford to lose in the first hour, its probably time to go home before you lose any more. People who gamble responsibly do so for entertainment and they are able to accept losses as the cost of that entertainment. They are able to balance their gambling with other activities and they do not gamble alone. If you remember these tips, you will be able to enjoy, rather than fear, your gambling experience.

Harry Reid Holds Online Casino Bill’s Future Hostage

Harry Reid Holds Online Casino Bill’s Future Hostage
Harry Reid is as mysterious as the Sphinx when it comes to predicting his ultimate stance on online casino regulation. Now that Barney Frank’s measure proposing regulation of online casinos has gathered some momentum in the House, observers are wondering how the bill may fare in the Senate. The uncertainty of which way that chamber will turn on Internet gambling lies directly at the feet of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.”He’s the linchpin,” Representative Shelley Berkley, from Reid’s home state of Nevada, told the Reno Gazette-Journal. “He will be the decider when it comes to Internet gaming.”On the surface, it might seem obvious that Reid would be on the side of opening the online gambling market and allowing the licensing of Internet poker sites and online gambling operators. Like Reid, Frank is a powerful member of the Democratic Party, and Reid certainly has no desire to aid Spencer Bachus and the ultra-conservative right in defeating H.R. 2267.But Reid has long relied heavily on the support of the giant casino companies in Las Vegas, a group divided on the subject of online casinos. Until recently, the land casinos were united behind Steve Wynn and his insistence on continuing the ill-designed UIGEA ban.Lately, some operators, led by Harrah’s, have altered their position, preparing themselves to adapt to regulated online gambling. The shift has left the American Gaming Association adopting an officially neutral stance.While Berkley told the paper she sees Reid softening on the issue of Internet casinos, the hardened politician finds himself in a fight for his political life. Without a decisive order from the casino companies, Reid may take whichever side is most politically expedient with his constituents to ensure his re-election.This could mean the entire US online casino policy for years to come may be decided by Nevada voters’ feelings on whether Internet gambling will increase or decrease their unemployment rate.

Adelson’s Stance Could Damage Online Gambling’s Chances In US

Adelson’s Stance Could Damage Online Gambling’s Chances In US
Over the past couple of years, land-based casino gambling operators have started to warm to the idea of online gambling regulations in the US. With revenue falling at major gaming destinations such as Las Vegas and Atlantic City, developers are looking for new ways to keep their businesses profitable.The most obvious of those options is Internet gambling. The US is considered to be the largest online gambling market in the world, even though the federal government is currently still attempting to prohibit the activity. The push has been made to end the prohibition, and surprisingly, it is Senator Harry Reid, representing Nevada, that is out in front of the movement.Reid had always been against online gambling, following the directive of the large political donors from his home state. Las Vegas Sands CEO Sheldon Adelson and Wynn Resorts owner Steve Wynn had long been against regulating Internet gambling, out of fear of losing customers from their land-based casinos.In recent years, customers have stayed away from the casinos due to the economy. That development has the CEO’s taking a different stance. Wynn went as far as to partner with PokerStars, a popular foreign online poker site.Wynn pulled out of its partnership with PokerStars after the company was indicted for violating the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. Wynn has, however, stayed the course on his commitment to lobbying for the federal online gambling laws to change in the US.Adelson, on the other hand, dealt a big blow to the future of the online industry last week when he said that he is opposed to regulation. Adelson claimed that he did not believe the proper technology was available to protect against underage gambling. Currently, there are no regulations in place to protect against either underage gambling, or bettors old enough to place wagers online.The shocking Adelson stance may have set back the industry several years. In the months since the indictment against PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker, and Absolute Poker, momentum has been building in Congress to change the current laws.That movement was dealt a blow first by the announcement that longtime online gambling supporter Representative Barney Frank was retiring and not seeking re-election, and now the Adelson stance. Couple that with Senator Jon Kyl’s recent position not to include online poker regulations in the effort to cut the budget deficit, and the outlook for regulations anytime soon suddenly again looks bleak.

Online gambling sites waited to hear if they had been nominated for any of the categories, especially the most coveted of the categories available. There were of course many online casino operators and other online gaming operators that were simply disappointed because their brands did not feature in the top nominations. One well known brand, William Hill, was certainly not one of those operators that suffered disappointment at hearing which operators received the top nominations, since the online gambling operator received EGR Operator Awards nominations in a number of the top categories. In fact, William Hill received more nominations than any other single casino brand that was nominated. Those who are watching the progress of the awards know that even though the nominations have taken place, the final decision has not yet been made, and William Hill and all the other gaming sites that have received nominations will have to wait until the 2011 EGR Operator Awards take place on 30th November.

How Safe Are Free Online Casino Slot Games
The safety of free online casino slot games gambling is a common issue that arises in the mind of newcomers to the online gambling industry. The past few years have seen a lot of debates on this issue, as online casinos have gained a huge popularity among casino lovers. Some of the major concerns have been the transaction of money, payouts of prize money, on-time payments, etc. However, with the advent of electronic fund transfer system, online casinos make online transactions for any kind of payment. Online transactions are considered to be the safest and most secure mode of financial transaction what with every transaction having a record of all necessary details regarding the transaction. All this has compelled the free online casino slot games to give the players whatever they have paid for and make everything extremely transparent and secure. However, it is important to note that all online casinos are not equally safe although they claim to be so. Players may face the challenge of finding the real safe casinos with another new online casino joining the free online casino slot games gambling club every other day. So, its absolutely imperative to check a casinos reputation before registering because you dont want your personal information at risk.

NFL Power Rankings Week One: Packers And Patriots Reign Supreme

NFL Power Rankings Week One: Packers And Patriots Reign Supreme
The NFL season is back and that means another year of power rankings. The rankings this week reflect only one game, but some of the teams that were expected by analysts to be on top, showed that they were up for the challenge. The Green Bay Packers and New England Patriots are the top two teams in week one, and bother were dominant.The Packers were coming off a Super Bowl victory the last time they were on the field, and that led them to being given the NFL’s opening game last Thursday night. As has been the case every time the NFL has opened the following season with a Super Bowl winner at home, the defending champ won. The Packers scored at will against New Orleans, on their way to their first win.New England had to watch every other team except their opponents, the Miami Dolphins, play before they took the field Monday night. The Patriots and quarterback Tom Brady dismantled a Dolphins defense that many felt was one of the best in the league. Brady threw for over 500 yards, and the team looked unbeatable.The third spot is where the rankings became difficult in week one. Philadelphia looked good in a victory over St. Louis, but the Baltimore Ravens take the three spot after blasting the defending AFC champion Pittsburgh Steelers. The Ravens obviously had some leftover ill feelings towards the Steelers after Pittsburgh ended Baltimore’s season last year.The Ravens offense looked sharp, and their defense gave Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers offense fits. Pittsburgh dropped all the way to number seven with the loss. The Ravens will face Tennessee next and Pittsburgh will go home and host Seattle.Houston looked ready to take control of the AFC South Sunday, and showed Indianapolis that there may be a new sheriff in town. The Texans also beat the Colts last year in the opening week, but this game felt more like one team being much better than the other, and the Colts had Peyton Manning to rally around last year.San Diego comes in at number six after beating a game Minnesota team. The special teams was again a problem for the Chargers, but their offense more than made up for the special team gaffes. San Diego is known for starting slow, but if they can get out quick this season, they could run away with the AFC West.After the Steelers at seven, the Bears, Jets, and Saints round out the top ten after week one.

Facebook Changes Online Gambling Advertising Rules

Facebook Changes Online Gambling Advertising Rules
Facebook has become the largest and most successful social media site in the world. Although Twitter provides users with the opportunity to get in quick hits regarding their current status, Facebook has become a place where advertisers covet space to promote their product.Recently, Facebook has started to clamp down on different forms of advertising. This week, Facebook again revamped their system and procedures, allowing some forms of advertising that had previously been banned. Online gambling is one of those areas addressed in the most recent update.Facebook will now allow promotion of lotteries, online casinos, poker, bingo, and sports books, in jurisdictions where the form of gambling is legal. That means that Facebook users in the UK will see an increased amount of ads for the dozens of online gambling sites that are licensed.One site that will be prohibited from advertising on Facebook will be Full Tilt Poker. The company recently lost their gaming license in Alderney after falling behind on payments. The online poker site also has closed its doors to customers since Black Friday in the US, when executives for the site were indicted. Other online poker sites, including PokerStars, will be allowed to advertise on Facebook.The minimum any company can spend if they want to advertise on Facebook is $30,000 a month. That is a $360,000 commitment each year they wish to promote their service on the popular social network. Facebook has millions of users, and even at the extraordinarily high prices, advertisers are expected to dish out the cash.One of the clarifications that Facebook has made regarding their online gambling advertising, is the company can only promote their product outside the US. The US has online gambling prohibition in place, and Facebook is ensuring they are not promoting something that the government deems illegal.The Internet gambling laws in the US could change in the coming months with many lawmakers pushing a bill that would regulate online poker. If online poker became regulated in the country, Facebook would likely change their advertising policies once again to allow companies to promote their online poker sites to US citizens.
