POSITION: STATE SHOULD RESIST TEMPTATION TO EXPAND LEGAL BANDARQQ GAMBLING

Steven Allen

 

 

This position is stated in www.indystar.com Our position is: State lawmakers must halt the march toward another expansion of gambling.

Indiana’s foray into state-sanctioned gambling began with the seemingly innocent creation of a lottery 15 years ago. Four years later, the General Assembly approved a bill legalizing the first riverboat casinos.

 

More boats would follow. So would longer hours for the casinos to stay open. Then came dockside gambling. With each step, Indiana raised a little more revenue and made gambling a little more mainstream.

 

Indiana already is third in the nation in the collection of gaming revenues, behind only Nevada and Illinois. In 15 years, Indiana has gone from a state that officially discouraged gambling to one that embraces it emphatically.

 

Now, the state may be poised to add thousands of pull-tabs, slot machines essentially, at horse tracks and off-track betting parlors.

 

If a bill now before the legislature is passed, Downtown Indianapolis could have what amounts to a land-based casino, complete with 1,500 pull-tab machines, before the end of the year. Another off-track betting parlor in Fort Wayne would be stocked with pull-tabs. And the state’s two horse tracks — Hoosier Park in Anderson and Indiana Downs in Shelby County — would add 1,000 pull-tab machines.

 

Similar proposals have briefly flourished in the General Assembly, before dying, usually in the Republican-controlled Senate. But the pull-tab legislation is being given good odds of passage this year in part because of the state’s dire financial condition but also because of the unrelenting pressure of the powerful and generous gambling lobby.

 

Last year, House Speaker Pat Bauer killed a pull-tab bill after it was revealed that his largest single campaign contributor had put down a $4 million offer to buy  bandarqq a share …

SPORTS BETTING HISTORY : TOGEL HONGKONG

Steven Allen

 

 

Sports betting in America has experienced unimaginable progress, especially in the past three decades. Betting on sporting events is the most popular form of illegal betting in the U.S. and is one of the fastest growing forms of legalized gambling. Sports wagering is commonplace from the nation’s factories to the boardroom. The growth in the popularity of legal sports wagering can be attributed to many factors. These same factors have contributed to the explosive growth and interest in illegal sports betting around the nation. These include the following:

* The decrease in the federal wagering excise tax from 10 percent to 2 percent to eventually 0.25 percent on January 1, 1983. This served to convert many of those betting on sports illegally to do so in a legal manner. It made sports bookmaking a profitable business venture.

*The saturation of sporting events in the media has enhanced the public’s familiarity with various types of sports. Cable television and satellite technology has made it possible to bring the games live and direct to the sports books. The ever-expanding mass media marketing of professional and collegiate sports has risen to enormous levels. The three most popular sports for wagering (football, baseball, and basketball) all have major contracts with national and local television providers.

 

* The weakened stigma associated with gambling in general and specifically, with gambling on professional events

* Gambling, especially on sporting events, is determined a victimless crime, or a crime in which the accused has not acted in a manner considered harmful to another.

  • The legitimization of sports gambling in the eyes of the public has been promoted by the frequent «natural» association of gambling with sport, particularly by the media.

* Major Nevada resort hotels and casinos discovered that in-house race and sports books were …

MOSCOW. 2 GUNNED DOWN IN SLOT ARCADE

Steven Allen

 

 

Two people were killed and another was injured in an armed attack on a Moscow slot machine arcade early Thursday morning, in what has become the tenth such robbery in the city since the start of the year.

 

Armed men burst into the north Moscow arcade at about 6 a.m. and opened fire, the Interfax news agency reported. They killed a security guard and a customer, and seriously wounded the cashier.

 

The assailants took the cash from the slot and game machines before fleeing the scene.

 

Video and slot machine arcades have become extremely common all over Moscow, where Ingatbola88 gambling is legal. They are located next to virtually every metro station and stand out with their bright lights. The fact that they are often housed in quickly-erected kiosks makes them an easy target.

 

This latest incident is just the latest in a series of similar robberies this year — two people were killed in a similar incident at the end of May.

 

JUDGE HAS GAMBLING PROBLEM, LAWYER SAYS

 

KANSAS CITY (AP) – A Kansas City municipal judge being investigated for accepting loans from lawyers has a gambling addiction, her attorney has confirmed.

Judge Deborah Neal, 54, has been on paid leave since Aug. 16; she remains hospitalized for treatment of depression. She was among the patrons in a Kansas City, Kan., casino that was raided by authorities in April.

 

Neal’s lawyer, John Kurtz, will not say how long the gambling problem has existed, though Neal filed for bankruptcy four years ago.

 

He also declined to say how many lawyers loaned the judge money and whether any of them practiced in her courtroom.

 

Ethics rules forbid judges from accepting loans from lawyers who appear before them.

Online gambling, online poker and Agen Bola popular amongst young people

Steven Allen

 

 

 

When Jeremy Tole wants to find a game of poker, he has a lot of outs.

 

First, he’ll look in his cell phone for acquaintances who play. He’ll also go to Facebook, the online directory for university communities, where there’s a “Kirkwood College Poker Club” group.

 

In all, there are between 50 to 75 people that Tole, an 18-year-old Kirkwood Community College student, can contact to get a poker game going on any given night in Iowa City.

 

“All but one of my guy friends play poker,” said Tole, who plays four times a week.

 

Tole and his buddies are far from alone in their enthusiasm for gambling.

 

About 2.9 million people between the ages of 14 and 22 gamble on cards on a weekly basis, according to a September 2005 survey by The Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania. The monthly gambling rate for that age group jumped 20 percent between 2004 and 2005.

 

The overwhelming majority, 80 percent, are male, and gambling rates are higher among youth who attend school. About 50 percent of college males gamble on cards monthly, according to the survey.

 

Poker and online gambling in particular have exploded in popularity in the past several years. A big reason for that, experts say, are the million-dollar poker tournaments broadcast on television and the availability of Internet gambling.

 

“With ESPN showing the ‘World Series (of Poker),’ you see them make $2 million, and they’re just playing cards,” said Jesse Bockelman, 22, a senior at UI.

 

Bockelman’s stakes are generally much smaller. When he has the money, he plays Internet poker about two hours a night.

 

He sticks to $2 or $3 tables, but he’s won as much as $400 and …

How exactly do Real Money Online Slots Work in Bitcoin Dice

Steven Allen

 

 

Slot games- they are, without doubt, one of the fastest and easiest ways of earning big bucks. Online slot games, with real money slots, are a very easy way to earn money in the comfort of one’s own home and that too with very little effort. The wonder that they are, they have often left us thinking about the mechanism behind their functioning. A peek into this secret not only solves the mystery, but also allows players to gain a better understanding of these online games to properly judge their credibility and reliability, in terms of random outputs.

 

General Mechanism of Slot Machines

 

The real money slots in casinos work through a basic combination of reels, stoppers and a lever. The most conventional mechanism requires the player to pull the lever, which sets into motion the reels. After a point of time, the reels are brought to rest by the stoppers and if the pictures on all the reels form a prerequisite line, the sensors pick it up and announce the winner. However, technology has undergone massive changes in the last few decades and casino slot machines have not been left untouched by these changes. Nowadays, the motion of the reels is administered by a computer, which supervises the working of these progressive jackpots.

 

How Numbers are Randomly Generated

 

The random number outputs are at the crux of these progressive jackpots. They are responsible for the results generated as well as for the line of pictures presented. This is how all the magic takes place: The random number generator gets to work immediately when the lever is pulled by the player. It, then, spits out numbers between 0 to many millions in a matter of a few seconds, resulting in an output of over …

Steven Allen

 

 

The odds in every casino that ones to is always stacked against them. Casino are in the business of making money and the last thing they need is to have players win the jackpot over and over again. Here are a few tips that can help players beat the odds and win.

 

Avoid alcohol at all costs Alcohol is the number one enemy of a clear and calm mind. Casinos use drinks to release the inhibitions of players and this makes players act careless and bet a bit more than they should have. Alcohol clouds the perception of time in the casino to make players think that its still early to go home yet. It is best to take a few drinks between each game and to make sure there is food in ones stomach as well.

 

Be confident Even the most composed player becomes undone when a winning streak starts. Players get too caught up in the winning moment that they throw away all caution and start betting big. One should assess what is happening at the moment and not lose control else one own earnings start vanishing quickly.

 

Don’t boast In every casino there are characters that would suddenly linkup with a player who boasts of winning or sees that the player has accumulated a large bankroll. Players tend to be fooled by these thieves into lending them money to play for next round and other excuses. Players should not brag of the amount they have won or lost and store any belongings or winnings in the hotel or casino vault until they are ready to depart for home.

Slow Playing in Limit – Post Flop at casinoextra.fr

Steven Allen

 

 

Slowplaying is one of those poker techniques that is a double edged sword. Sometimes you can extract a lot of extra action out of your opponents by taking your time and misrepresenting your hand. Other times, by not acting aggressively enough and claiming the pot early, you’ll give your opponents a chance to pull ahead of you and take down the pot.

 

So, how is a player supposed to know when to open the betting throttle, and when to take it easy?

 

One thing to take into consideration is the limits at which you are playing and the skill level of your opponents. At most low limit tables, your opponents are concerned with how nice their hand looks, and aren’t giving your holdings a second thought. In these situations, just bet and give them something to call. Especially if they are the passive type, and won’t be making any bets on their own. After all, why just give them free cards?

 

 

 

If you’re playing at a table with craftier opponents, things change, and your list of potential poker tools to use expands to include the Slow Play.

 

 

 

Slowplaying requires that you flop a fantastic hand. Not a pretty good hand, a fantastic one. Pretty good hands require protection, so you should bet them! visitez le site

 

 

 

Say you flop bottom set, with a flush draw on the board. Bet, or better yet, raise! A set is a wonderful thing to flop, but if with a draw on the board, there’s no need to coax extra bets out of a player, and even less of a reason to give free or cheap cards. If someone is on a draw, they ought to pay for the priveldge of seeing …
