My First Bet

My First Bet

The first time I ever made a bet I was sixteen years old. I looked a lot older than my age and I had no trouble placing the bet. I had saved up $500 I had earned at the Dairy Queen that summer. As my father was a gambler I had no problem risking my summer pick to make some extra money.

My father had picked a sufficient pocket pair to start the season with at the first football game of the season. Normally they would have been a set of deuces. However these particular cards were different, they were ten down and five up and should be used for more than one card. I had no trouble keeping the nine and two pairs distinct. It is actually harder to do in the middle of a poker game because the card can get mixed up.

My father had purchased a deck of cards at a nearby outlet store for the $5.00 it cost. Quickly the cards became a distraction as the boys thought the cards might help them pass the time. Or perhaps it was the other way around.

Anyways, we started dealing the cards during break time and our senior player wasted no time in jumping out of his chair and running over to the Internet to purchase more cards. By the time we returned from break the cards were gone and our table was dead.

The next week out she bought twenty decks. While we weren’t playing with the same cards, it didn’t take long for the cards to blend in with the permanent marker on our folding table. And by the time she returned our third and final week of senior card parties the cards were gone also.

Poker was over.

I missed the cards. I really did. But when I asked the guys why not I realized that they each had their own reason for not wanting the cards. In this case it was simple laziness, but in another case it was a combination of superstition and the fact that no one had actually tried to win money with the cards yet.

After that the cards just kind of fell by the wayside and before we knew it, every single deck had been used. Some stayed at the bar, some were given to the father and some got lost in the basement. A few got saved and they were happy that at least they didn’t go all in with a deck of cards.

Until one night in December when I got an idea to revisit the basement and recoup some money lost during the previous months. I went down there with a Fenestrated Dollar List. As a result I spent the entire night studying and researching the game of poker.

By the time I walked out of the basement at around 3:00am I had lost twice. And I had recouped more than I had planned. Part of the reason I had lost was I wasn’t tired or distracted enough from the game to keep track of everything.

At the end of the day the only regret I had was I didn’t stay longer in the basement.

Tip One: furnish yourself with a supply of water. If you stay too long in the casino you will start to get thirsty. While staying too long in the basement doesn’t have the same effects, sin city is like Vegas Central Market. Y’know how the crowd goes when they’re inside and the food and shopping are great. Well, if you stay too long in Sin City you’re going to smell like dealt carpet and have an onslaught of food and shopping done for you by the crowds. And when you leave, all you’ll have to do is drive up to Vegas and take a ride on entertainmentwians.com.

Tip Two: keep this in mind when marking your tickets, you want an extra wide margin of error on your side. An extra wide margin of error is what helps gambling be art. The more errors the gambling partner makes the more of an advantage you have over the gambling partner. And with regards to assuring your own advantage you should investigate several games and methods to obtain the largest possible margin of error.

The game of bingo is a good example of how a game of chance can be enhanced with the addition of art. Bingo has been played in the UK for years with the same basic rules and the addition of art to the game gave it a whole new outlook. While the game is a game of chance and luck, it is a game based on skill and strategy. The great thing about bingo is that it’s a game of skills. It’s not a game of chance, it’s a game of decisions.

When you play bingo online you should keep in mind the same factors that you would when playing land-based bingo. The number 7 is the most important number; it means “Big Bingo” when it comes out. It takes on a life of its own as the game progresses and the numbers of the letters increase.
