I am so pissed! I just read a Christian article on the evils of gambling. Whether or not you choose to believe that Gambling is evil is up to you… but you can’t be swayed by the foolish arguments in the article I just read. I’m not going to tell you where to find the article because I don’t want trouble, but mostly because I don’t want them to benefit from my large group of readers! I AM however, going to quote extensively from the rubbish that the writer (R. Mohler) professes (and probably fully believes).

First, he states that 1/3 of the nation’s money is spent on Gambling. If you read my posts, you know that he’s dead wrong! Truth is; 100% of all the World’s money is spent on gambling! Whether you put it under your mattress (a real gamble) or put it into savings (a real gamble) or spend it (a real gamble) it’s spent on gambling. It’s a gamble when you buy a stock, bond or commodity (but he probably thinks THAT’S alright!) It’s a gamble when you buy insurance… you know what… it’s a gamble when you pick out one head of cauliflower over the others… or when you buy cauliflower at all. More than just spending your money  goes through the process of gambling… do you not think that picking your spouse was a gamble? Yes, Christians and non-Christians… EVERY single decision you make is a gamble.

He then goes on to enlighten us with this gem: “The basic impulse behind gambling is greed-a basic sin that is the father of many other evils.” Greed – isn’t that the reason we all go to work everyday????? Isn’t that the reason we “gamble” on those aforementioned, socially acceptable stocks????? If you hear someone say that money makes the world go ’round… you’re listening to a greedy person.

pass the plate again reverend….

Then he says; “The burning desire for earthly riches leads to frustration and spiritual death.” or to happiness, a full life, a realization of one’s dreams. Try THAT without “earthly riches”!

After taking us through many scriptures reinforcing his argument, he states a common mistake made by millions…

“The worldview of the gambler assumes a world of indeterminate and random chance, for which the chief virtue is luck.” As a real “bettor” knows, luck has very little to do with success or failure in gambling. Poker for instance, might make its appearance in the Olympics. IF it were a game of luck, there wouldn’t be thousands of books written on how to win at Poker, nor millions of websites extolling the systems and strategies that make one player a winner over another. More than one judge has ruled that it’s a game of skill!

This isn’t a coin toss Reverend… this is a Skill Game. Otherwise, you wouldn’t see the same faces on the final tables of tournaments. You wouldn’t know the “Odds” of one hand as opposed to another… and so forth.

It’s not the roll of the dice that makes a winner or loser – it’s how the players bet their money. A Seven is a big loser… or a big winner…depending on how you bet… no luck there! Does a successful card player know when to hold ‘em and when to fold ‘em… yep… he’s not considering luck at all!

Here’s a great piece of nonsense: “gambling is a direct attack on the work ethic presented in Scripture. One of the constant threads through the Old and New Testaments is the dignity of honorable work, and the proper reward for labor and industriousness” Are you kidding? Thousands of hours are spent learning this craft. Certainly more than one spends on his major in a college or university. S/he must spend an equal amount of time on “unproductive” (he’s going to use that word in a minute) electives. Now THAT’S a gamble!

You can’t win any money at the track without studying the horses, the trainers, the jockeys and a myriad of other variables. What’s so undignified about learning cards through courses at MIT or Harvard? He actually then went on call gamblers “lazy, slothful, unproductive and undeserving of financial rewards”.  Then he states “offering the hope of riches without labor)” Holy Crap! I must take a break ’cause I’m pissed off!!!!!!!

k – I’m back (but still pissed off)

Gee, thanks to gamblers, there are millions of jobs in the US. Thousands of hours are spent studying the various forms of casino gambling, testing and tweaking the procedures, and perfecting their craft. If he wants to pick on the lazy, he must look elsewhere (and Lord knows there are plenty of places to look).

“Gambling corrupts the culture, polluting everything it touches. Recent scandals in college basketball are proof positive that gambling is not a problem limited to casinos and horse tracks.” He’s right there isn’t he… scandal is in Congress, in the Senate, in the Banks, the Oil companies, car manufactures, wall street, and politicians running for President of the United States, and on and on and on…<p>

Hey Reverend… are you running a Bingo Game?

Fund Raisers? …gambling, gambling, gambling!

“The Church had better not bet on this problem just going away.” Bet? the Church can Bet?

There are other activities that he could better spend his time on: Drugs, Alcohol, Cigarettes, etc (but counting on a wide readership (which is what this greedy reverend wants)…that would be gambling.

Are going to discover some? things? The amazing game of BlackJack that you probably never heard before. Are things that could potentially make a lot of money. And some things that only you can never play again. Therefore, please read these words. Every word is true, and it took me most of my life to see the show …

Unlike Craps, Roulette, Slots, Baccarat or any other popular casino games, BlackJack is based on what is called “dependent tests”. This means that the outcome or the result of any given depends on what hand are cards in the deck.

On the other hand, Craps, Roulette, slots, Baccarat, etc. are game based on “independent testing. This means that more dice, spin the wheel or pull the lever, the probability of any particular slot number (or combination of numbers) and are always the same. In the previous round, roll or extraction is not that no influence on what will be the next result? in these games, Casino always win in the long term.

Some say that failing to count, others say should say. The truth is that if you want to win, you need to have … but don’t worry: If you could add and subtract 1, you know have 2? I promise. And with my well guarded secret, what will be true that the Casino cannot intercept, while you are? virtually? stealing your money? legally.

Why? Thinking. If blocked, something that makes a lot of money with … something that most people would be able to copy … could openly sides with the world? Probably not.

Never really wanted to tell someone that “things, thought” because I wanted to just keep my keep closed, mouth to play blackjack in the most exclusive locations and keep the deposit of money in hand sobre-fist in my bank accounts.

Lucky (even though it was bankrupt), I managed to solve the puzzle, to get rid of the scam and discover through? trial and error? all the secrets of the cure.

Tried, tested and purchased “in” all the quack schemeand known in human systems. I wanted to “break the code”. I was looking for the Holy Grail that operate my earnings and arrow my game almost without effort or money.

Of course, he did finally find and even create powerful strategies that made me money … a lot of money. (Is-where one player paid fan). “(Y_estoy_a_punto_de_compartir_estas_estrategias_con_ustedes. _ para_seguir_leyendo)”. “” but then he fell for a lot of exaggeration of these winning BlackJack systems. I was naive, because I remember having all excited, doing just mathematics, thinking it was going to become rich from one day to the next. And it was a disappointment after another.

Very well. No BlackJack player can possibly beat the dealer without knowing the composition of the remaining cards. Only the …read more

Why do? Why get sensitive information remotely to practically give people like you? So, once the stagnation of the economy, casinos began to throw off the people.

I hope you all hate (hmmmm dislike) Microsoft. If not for their poor (Horrible) products, then for their poor (Horrible) business practices. (Don’t get me started – ’cause it goes all the way back to their early days – read about those pirates yourself).

Now, our beloved Yahoo has decided to get into bed with the Redmond, WA bandits. They’re merging their Search Marketing with (gag) Bing!

We who love Gambling (and that really includes EVERYONE – if you don’t believe me – stop buying Stocks, Bonds, Insurance Policies, and picking your Mate) had to leave Google… and now Yahoo too!

Because of this new alliance which begins August 15, 2010, Yahoo is now pulling all Gambling related Ads. We can’t learn how to play anymore, we can’t research where to play anymore, we can’t enjoy our favorite pastime thanks to Bill and his Boys!

I don’t understand why they believe THEY should be the police, this affects much more than just the USA. Further, here in the USA there are already laws against online Gambling thanks to that poor (Horrible) ex-President Bush who snuck (yes snuck – on a late Friday nite)the uigea INSIDE a Freedom Protection Bill that the lawmakers didn’t even notice was in there.

I’ve written umpteen blog posts on the subject – please go back and get all the details. Let it suffice to say, the law is bogus, the Internet isn’t owned by the USA (thank God), there are stupid stops in place to prevent USA Players from gambling online, the powerful lottery, sports betting and horse racing lobbyists got THEIR gambling interests exempted, the financial institutions have been strapped with the responsibility to police online gambling (who do you think pays for that??? maybe the bank bailouts???), the law will be changed (sooner than later – I hope) because it’s so poorly (Horribly) written now.

The UIGEA isn’t working anyway – USA players get around it everyday. Think of the money the USA is losing. Estimates are the US Gov’t is losing $40 Billion in the next 10 years in Taxes alone. Add to that the fact that the US entrepreneurs had to move their businesses to other countries (and with it, all their jobs). Maybe they’ll move back here when it’s legal and that means more taxes, more jobs, and more money for the US Gov’t. The banks can save the money it’s costing to police CC sales.

What’s Bill and Bing, and Yahoo and Google going to do from atop their high-horses when the anti-gambling bill is revoked? They’re making a moral judgment that they may regret.

And by the way, just WHO was getting “hurt” by a marketer selling a book on how to play Poker, or Roulette, or Craps, or any Casino game? Millions of USA Players want the information and the right to read those books – they were not getting “hurt” – but they are NOW! More lost money; the authors lose, and even Yahoo loses! Why?

There are some SERIOUS addictions out there folks… but either they are legal, or the US Gov’t spends Billions of Tax Dollars on getting USA citizens off their addictions. Still, we see those products marketed everywhere we look. The notion that one will get addicted by reading one of those Gambling books is just Stupid!

I don’t know what can be done about this nonsense until the law is changed. Yahoo is getting tons of complaints now as each marketer sees his stuff removed… add your voice to the mix. Call them and let them know how wrong it is to “protect us” from ourselves. Yahoo: 1 866-924-6676

Today, I received the following email from one of my readers:

Dear Buzz,

I’m astounded by your free article on how to win baccarat. However, to complete the system it requires another part such as money management or whatever. Please advise.

Thank you,
Patrick Tuat

I started to answer Patrick with the usual tips and strategies re “Money Management”, when it occurred to me that the truth must be understood. I mean, it’s all well and good to talk about goals, deadlines, bankrolls, progressions etc., but the truth is:

“Money Management” is an over-rated, worthless concept.

Wow! How’s that for controversial?

Let me explain!

Money Management is a term that is bantered about in the Gambling Industry, but is greatly misunderstood.

The concept is very popular in trading, and has found its way into the arsenals of Sports Bettors.

I want to make a bold statement here:

Money Management cannot help you!

You say, “Buzz, you must be kidding! I’m certain that the concept of Money Management is very important.”

Really? Let me ask you these questions:

Will MM make a winner out of a losing proposition?

Will MM turn a negative expectation into a positive one?

Will MM make a smart wager out of a sucker bet?

The answer to all of these questions is NO!

If you’re placing a losing bet, no amount of MM will make you a winner!

All casino games are designed to make you a loser in the long run… ALL of them. So, if you were to use the common MM strategies perfectly, you might be able to last a little longer, but you’ll still lose in the long run.

Let me take this a step further… What if you were to enter the Gamblers’ Utopia; “The First Zero-Advantage Casino” in the World. You’ve found a casino that has removed the house advantages from the games.

Now, what would MM do for you?

Nothing… you’d still break even in the long run!

So, what good is MM?

You’ll be able to play longer! And assuming you don’t alter your optimum play, you’ll therefore get more comps!

The best advice I can give you regarding MM is this: Open a bank account for your gambling bankroll. Put as much money into it as you can without putting ANY strain on your life. Continue depositing money into the account on a monthly basis.

After accumulating a good deal of money in the account (400 times your normal bet at a table game, and/or 10,000 times your slot machine bet), you’re ready to take on the casino (and NOT before)!

Example: if you are a $10 bettor at the tables, then you need to have at least $4,000 in your account. If you play 25¢ slots, and you insert 3 coins at a time, you need $7,500 in your gambling bankroll.

Hang on, the good stuff’s coming…

Leave the money there, gaining interest… and get a line of credit at your casino equal to your betting session amount (one tenth of your bankroll). This way, you’re using the casino’s interest-free loan to gamble, and your money is still in the account gaining interest.

Now it REALLY gets fun…

Calculate the house advantage for your favorite game, and bet LESS than the amount you will earn in interest (PLUS your monthly deposits).

So, if you are playing blackjack at a house advantage of .05%, you expect to lose one bet every two hours. A $10 bettor would expect to lose about $20 every 4 hours of play. Multiply that by the number of times you go to the casino in a month. example: if you go twice a week, you’ll lose $40 per week or about $160 per month.

Therefore, make sure that the monthly amount of money you deposit (add the interest you accumulate PLUS the amount you deposit each month) is MORE than $160. And, for a cushion, round it up to $200.

If you win, put the winnings PLUS your monthly deposit into the account. Continue this until you double your bankroll, then double your bets. (And double your deposits too).

During a winning session, quit while you’re ahead, or put half your winnings aside and continue play with ONLY the remaining half.

Never bet money you need! Scared money NEVER wins! That’s not just a saying – it’s scientifically proven… when you need the money, or are afraid to lose it, you’ll alter your bets and your strategies to the point where you negate the advantages of any strategy.

There you go Patrick, use all the MM tricks and tips you want, but once you realize that you can’t make a purse out of a sow’s ear, turn to the safe gambling methods outlined here, and you’ll always be a Winner.

the best strategies along the way.

First, if you want free money to play with, you can get some here:

http://www.buzzbberkeley.com/recommends/CashCow

Now that you have a bankroll, one of the first things you must
do is select your game.

But how do you do that?

If you are new to online casino games, it can often be confusing
which games to try out first. While most people who play at online
or land-based casinos for the first time already have a preference for
a couple of games, some are still unsure where to start.

Opening up an online casino or walking in to one for the first time
can be daunting. You are immediately bombarded by lists of games,
special promotions and flashing jackpot lights. The temptation will
be there to head straight into playing a progressive slot. Let’s face it,
the potential of winning a life changing jackpot is appealing to everyone.

But my advice is to stay away from the slots for the most part, but
that’s a issue for another day!

The casino game you choose to play will depend largely on your
personality, and ultimately, the type of game that you enjoy the
most, given that gambling is something you’re doing for fun as well
as money at the end of the day.

First you’ll want to look at the options. If you prefer card games,
then there’s blackjack

http://www.buzzbberkeley.com/recommends/BJM

http://www.buzzbberkeley.com/recommends/BJ$

and baccarat and if you’ve gotten my book, you know that
Baccarat is beatable, and the Easiest game in the Casino.

http://www.baccaratmadeeasy.com

If you tend towards machine-generated games of chance, you’ll
obviously head for the slot machines or the video poker machines.

http://www.buzzbberkeley.com/recommends/SlotsSys

Dice players will head to the craps tables,

http://www.winningcrapsmoney.com

and that leaves the roulette fans, arguably one of the most
glamorous casino game.

http://www.buzzbberkeley.com/recommends/RouletteSniper

If you are a Poker player and want the give and take of
opposing players instead of a machine, then you’ll want to head
right to the online poker games and tournaments.

But before you do, I strongly suggest you read the following book.
It is simply a short cut to riches!
http://www.buzzbberkeley.com/recommends/DomPoker

If you want experts to stand over your shoulder analyzing
your game as you play, you need a Poker Calculator.
I’ve compiled a list for you here:

http://www.thebuzzreport.com

Here’re a couple of Online Sites that are well known and safe:

Full Tilt Poker:

PokerStars:

Having decided which form of game you want to try first, you’ll now
need to choose a table or machine. The way to decide on this is to
look at the bet limits.

In other words, be realistic about what you can afford to bet each
time. Once again this is a trade-off.

You may prefer to make small bets and play for a long time, without
much short-term deviation in your bankroll, or you may be the type
of person who wants more of a thrill from gambling, and will make
bigger bets to make it more exciting, at the risk of losing more.

The same principle applies to slots. There are many multi-line
slots available at online casinos that can be played for as little
as a penny per line. These machines offer a great way to stretch
your bankroll to the limit, but you will have to accept that your
potential wins are much smaller as a result. Nevertheless, you will
probably be able to spend a lot more time with a relatively small
bankroll.

Another factor that you should keep in mind when choosing a casino
game is what is know as the “hold” or vigorish or “vig”. This is
the house edge, the percentage that you can expect to lose over the
long run, assuming you don’t have a big win. Different games have
different hold percentages, ranging from 94 to 99 percent.

This means that on most games, you have a 1 to six percent chance of
beating the house in the short run, depending on the game you
choose.

The games with the most favorable hold for the player are craps,
blackjack, and baccarat (IF you know how to bet them – if you don’t,
read, learn, study FIRST – get to know what you’re doing BEFORE
you begin to play for money).

Games like Keno and Casino War have by far the worst hold for you.

Slots fit in somewhere in the middle. And not all slots have the
same vig. To make matters worse, each slot game and indeed each
slot machine has a strange way of changing constantly as well. A
machine with a low vig one day might have a high vig the next. These
machines can be, and are, adjusted by the casino techs as the
casino wants!

The only way to give yourself a fighting chance is to
get current odds charts that show which machines to play and which
to avoid. I’ll show you where to get those charts when we cover the
slots in detail.
