Here are the tips…

Don’t play with money you can’t afford to lose

This is the first tip that you will read almost everywhere - Don’t play with money you can’t afford to lose. It is never a good idea to put your rent money into your online bingo account.

Determine the stakes you are going to play at…

To determine a dollar amount of money you will need to start playing, you will need to determine at what stakes you will be playing. If you are playing at $3 per card, you will need less money than if you were playing at $10 per card.

Determine if you are going to play multiple cards

If you are going to be playing multiple cards at once, you are going to have more money in your bankroll. The more money you output at one time, the more money you should have available.

Are you playing seriously or for fun?

If you are playing for fun, you can get away with playing on a smaller bankroll. But if you want to start playing professionally, you will need more. If you go broke at this stage, your career could be in jeopardy, so err on the side of caution.

As long as you have enough money to play bingo, it can be exciting and profitable, but if you are undercapitalized from the start, you risk losing money and ruining your bingo experience!

Paul sure is unlucky

British sports book, online casino and poker room William Hill has discovered 2008’s unluckiest gambler after digging through the millions of bets wagered at their site and chain of UK shops.

Paul Greenwood, 52, from Barnsley, UK, was revealed as the unluckiest gambler of 2008. He made his usual £10 on an accumulator, betting on a series of 14 football matches with cumulative odds of 79,500-1. He had initially included Manchester United in this bet but at the last minute decided to switch to Arsenal.

His first 13 selections won their games as he had predicted. So too did Manchester United, meaning that if he had stuck with them he would have been £795k richer. Nevermind, all Arsenal had to do was beat Aston Villa – they failed to do so. To make up for this disastrous bit of luck, William Hill have given Paul a £1,000 free bet.

William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe said: ‘Against a great deal of competition from punters beaten by a short-head or a fall in horse races, we have declared Paul officially the unluckiest punter in the UK. I would think our customers will be desperate to know what Paul places his free bet on, so they can avoid it!’  If I was this guys friend I would avoid him like the plague.

Poker Advice to Live By

Yakshi over at The Epileptic Chihuahua gives us some great advice and we also learn where the name of his blog comes from!

Some pros will tell you that the biggest obstacle to poker success is tilt. Of course we’ve all experienced tilt, especially when our K8 of diamonds—the Epileptic Chihuahua—gets sucked out on by some ridiculous face-face holding like KJ or QQ.

Or we get smacked hard by the flop and then getting absolutely no action. Take this 2NL example:

Three callers to Yakshi on the button, who holds the Chihuahua. We opt for an advanced move called the invisi-raise—a call with the intent of raising on a later street. SB calls, BB checks, and we head six-handed to a flop of Ks 8s 7s.

Bang. We have the thirteenth nuts. Even better, hands like QQ and KJ have failed for once to catch up.

Then the nightmare. Everyone checks, we bet 12 cents, and everyone folds.

And he even had 18th nuts!
