CASINO LINGO by Vinny DeCarlo

"Out of all the places that I have had the privilege to visit and play all around the world, the hardest language barrier I have ever faced was in... are you ready for this ... the good ole US of A (and I'm dead serious). I once sat at a blackjack table playing for hours when a floor man and a shift manager stood next to my table, conversing about me for more than five minutes while all the while smiling and I didn't understand a single word they said, nor did I have a clue that they were slamming me. It took me more than a month to realize that I had been had. Am I stupid? Well, read the following before you decide to judge me..."

PHOENIX BLACKJACK REPORT by Handyman

"Phoenix area blackjack games can be described as mediocre at best, but there are some playable games. There are seven Indian casinos in the Phoenix area operated by four different tribes. Blackjack in the area originated as virtually all CSM dealt games but has improved to mostly shoe games the last couple of years. Pen is very dealer dependent at most of these casinos so be sure to shop around. The following observations were made in December 2009..."

WHY SPORTS BETTING IS PROFITABLE by Bill Burton

"Sports betting appeals to the smart bettor because it is not a game with a fixed house edge where the casinos are raking off a fixed percentage on every bet. Sports betting requires more skill than luck similar to Blackjack and live poker. You won't win every time but the skilled handicapper has a huge advantage over the recreational bettor. Before going into more detail you need to understand how sports betting works and I'll use betting on a football game where a point spread is involved as an example...."

TEXAS HOLD'EM A TO Z: "E" IS FOR EVALUATING PLAYERS by Bill Burton

"Many players will sit down in a Texas Hold'em game and play as if they are wearing blinders. They see only their own two cards and the cards on the board. They give little or no regard to the other players at the table. This is not the way to play winning poker. Poker expert Mike Caro believes that you will make more money from your opponent's mistakes than you will from your own fancy play. Therefore, in order to be successful you will need to study and evaluate your opponents at the table simply because you won't be able to capitalize on their mistakes if you are not aware of which players are making them..."
