£50 Free Bingo Money Competition

Posted on 27-09-2007 | Posted in Bingo by Gambling Diva

I just came across a press release which talks about a very good competition, which is absolutely free!

Basically, there are £50 free bingo money up for grabs and all you need to do is to review the bingo site, that comes up by the click of the button.

You can have as many entries as you wish, so more chances to win that money…

The competition is organised by two sites: OnlineBingoAlerts.com (the bingo comparison portal) and Yesall4free.com (the freebie site).

Bingo Alerts will use the reviews for the research into costumer opinion to rate the operators better.

If you think you are interested, read the press release, it’s got all the links in it.

Good Luck!

Where to Find the Worst Poker Players Online

Posted on 14-09-2007 | Posted in Betting, Poker, General by Gambling Diva

With online poker’s popularity increasing every day, it has attracted some of the most clueless players out there. The collective term for these hopeless players is “fish”, whose natural predators are the astute and deadly “sharks”. More recently, poor players have been referred to as “donkeys”, but that term never really stuck with us. Mostly, these players are drawn to the overexposed and over-publicized poker sites that air commercials during televised tournaments. This new breed on poker player seems to be defined by their willingness to draw against the odds and make generally poor decisions at the table. Online poker sites with this type of reckless, fishy players can be gold mines for the learned poker player

1 Choice

PKR has, unquestionably, the worst players of any online poker site. As we mention in our review, this is our favorite place to play when we’re getting a good run of cards. The absolute fish tank at Pacific Poker is most likely brought on from the crossover players at Casino-on-Net. Expect plenty of big pots from sub-par hands at this poker room. Players coming through our site are eligible for a double bonus at 40% instant cash.

2 Choice

Golden Palace Poker is one poker room that provides a lot of fish because of their ability to process US credit cards and the awful competition at the tables. Overall, the competition is dreadful with inexperienced players who will call enormous bets pre flop with mediocre holdings. Simply playing patiently and betting big with your strong hands can pay dividends at Golden Palace Poker.

3 Choice

Mansion Poker has some of the worst players. While this site is fairly new, the play that we’ve witnessed so far has definitely been substandard. As most new players at this site were sucked in from the FSN TV show bearing the site’s namesake, expect new and experienced players to mostly fill up the small and mid-stakes tables.

Online Games

Posted on 13-09-2007 | Posted in Casino, Betting, Poker, Bingo by Gambling Diva

Instant games online has become a huge internet industry in the past few years. Most of the money is made in gambling, with old favourites such as bingo, new trends like poker and old school classic slots. With the move from offline to online bingo, many were worried about the loss of social interaction, but this has been countered by a focus being put on the chat facilities of most bingo online operators. The CM’s (chat moderators) often provide bingo games in chat coinciding with the game of bingo that is running at the time, usually offering cash bonuses.

Recent times have also seen the growth of casino online. Whilst maybe not as popular as bingo online, more and more people are beginning to play casino games. We are starting to see the saturation of the casino directory, as competition starts to take business from the smaller operators. The growth of online poker has also escalated massively since the rebirth of poker. There are now hundreds of choices of operators.

Bingo online, along with online casino and poker has seen huge growth, and the profits suggest this trend will continue for years to come. Searching for online games directory brings up nearly two hundred million pages, and shows just how popular the industry sector is. Bingo games are now starting to reach the younger population, as companies like Gala Bingo begin to get famous faces in to promote their businesses. In short, the industry has experienced a massive boom, leaving us with great offers, but for how long can they keep it up before there are casualties?

Free bets…

Posted on 12-09-2007 | Posted in Betting, General by Gambling Diva

I think by now everyone knows that I like a bit of a flutter, but over the past few days I had a few bets on the rugby and cricket that’s going on. I don’t usually use bookies, I normally prefer casino and bingo games, but I saw some of the offers out there free bets and whatever and realised that some of the bookies give you an almost win-win situation with your first bet. For example I noticed an article about Bookie Alerts site of the month, where VC Bet are offering a £50 free bet. £50 was quite steep for a bit of a novice like me so I put £20 on South Africa winning the cricket, which they did, leaving me with nearly £30 in my account plus a £20 free bet to use on whatever I like. I’m not sure whether I’m going to withdraw the £30 and just use the £20 or what. Knowing me I’ll spend it all on something. Basically the moral of the story is look out for the free bets recommended by bookie portals such as OnlineBettingAlerts.com, as there is easy money to be made!

The most common gambling mistakes

Posted on 12-09-2007 | Posted in General by Gambling Diva

We all talk about the tactics and strategies and that with the right calculations in mind we can all win millions in online casinos and poker rooms or by visiting in-land venues. But what does it actually mean? I know that concentration and focus on the game is vital and I myself have read many articles and little booklets full of various little theories, and statistical approaches to online poker, which despite making sense never really made me any money.

So I decided to concentrate on the gambling mistakes instead. Las Vegas casinos end up with pockets full of cash because we, excited gamblers make these most common 5 gambling mistakes when playing different casino games.

When going to an in-land casino with an aim to win a lot of money, many visitors hope or even expect to have a huge return in a short space of time. As soon as they start betting and don’t have the desired result from the game, they start getting nervous and stressed, therefore loosing that precious concentration and focus that is so essential in the game. Patience is a virtue and it is your first and most powerful weapon, guys.

The first mistake. All of us make is betting without setting a budget in advance. Before getting outside your house and driving to your chosen casino or even before switching your pc on to browse through some online poker sites; DECIDE ON A SET BANK ROLL, and don’t take or deposit any more than what you planned. If you win, you win, if you lose, you lose, but don’t let yourself become emotionally attached to the game, otherwise you might find yourself sad and broke…

The second mistake. After playing some of our favourite casino games, some of us start getting bored and decide to try luck in something we are not actually sure we know the rules to. ANY GAME YOU PLAY FOR MONEY SHOULD BE THE GAME YOU KNOW INSIDE OUT, the game you entirely understand and preferably know some commonly used tactics to. It is much harder to win at something you lacking knowledge or experience in, especially in games that require a lot of different skills and knowledge base, like poker for instance. There are many online poker sites that give you an opportunity to practice playing the game for free. Some online casinos give you the same opportunity. In ideal world, before playing any game, you should try and uncover every tip, every strategy, every tactic that there is to uncover.

The third mistake. In-land casinos use a lot of destruction to get you to lose your concentration and start gambling without giving it a glimpse of though. They tempt you with alcohol, live music, sexy tall blondes parading around in short silky dresses and so on. Besides making your judgement blurry, alcohol also makes a lot of us emotional, which is a straight road to losing. KEEP YOUR COOL AND COUNT THE BAVERAGES, as losing your judgement, not focusing and becoming emotionally involved will take you to the empty pocket land in no time at all.

The forth mistake. Many of us are4 stingy and coming to the casino try to chose a game that is cheap to play. If you are there to have fun, fair enough, go for slot machines. But if you actually want to come back home a richer man, then CHOOSE GAMES THAT OFFER HIGH PAYOUTS! Such games usually require more control over the outcome, more patience, more knowledge and many other necessary skills. Poker and Blackjack are good examples of such games. Research which games offer bigger payout, practice in some of the online poker sites or with friends and only then you can consider yourself prepared for the real thing.

The fifth mistake. You have to know your stuff. But I’m not only talking about the games themselves that require tons of research and practice; I’m also talking about choosing the right casino to play in. Not all of them have the same features, not all of them have the same payouts and not all of them have the same terms and conditions. This is exactly why YOU HAVE TO RESEARCH BEFORE CHOOSING A CASINO TO GO FOR. There are comparison sites, like OnlineCasinoAlerts.com that can help you compare and contrast the leading casino sites without security worries, as sites like that take great precautions in ensuring the reliability, legality and security of the operators they promote.

Well, hope this helps and please let me know what you think about this. I will really appreciate it if you guys took a little time to try and share your own tips and advice here.
