Gambling poetry: Love Is A Gamble

They say love is a gamble but that can't be true. Because I wasn't gambling when I found you. I wasn't looking for love, my heart was cold. 

If I did have a hand, my hand I would fold. 

Why take a chance on something so rare? 

It's a game, it's a gamble, and it just isn't fair. 

But neither is life and what's life without love? 

It's no life for me so I look up above. 

As I pray for some help in this game I can't win. 

I push the button, my chance starts to spin. 

Just when I think my luck has ran out, I run into you and lose all doubt. 

So if love is a gamble, then grab the dice. 

No matter the cost, I'll pay it twice. 

I'll give you my chips, my tokens and more. 

I'll give you my love, it's you I adore. 

So if love is a gamble, then gamble you must. 

It's all or nothing, it's all or bust.

How to choose a safe online casino?

Have you ever played online casino? If no, then I help you to start. There is a great range of different casinos and as a newbie you have to take into account some significant features in order to make the right choice. Even if you are a compulsive gambler, the skill of evaluating online casino will help to save your time and funds in future. It is really important to make the most possible choice. That is why I offer to learn my article attentively and make the wise decision.

What is online casino?

It is the internet service that allows clients to make real money bets in the casino games. Online gambling industry appeared in the world web net many years ago and till nowadays has developed by the great steps. Thousands of online virtual places are available with the casino software from the famous companies.

What are the types of online casinos?

Online casino can be divided into 3 groups: Instant Play, Download and mobile versions. Some virtual places offer all these variants.

Instant Play casino is the websites where gamblers can enjoy without downloading the program at PC. From the other side, download versions require software installation in order to begin the game. Online casino programs are connected with the gaming provider and can be used without help of browser.

Mobile versions of online casinos allow playing Yggdrasil free slots on a go. Thanks to the evolution of smartphones this aspect of the industry rapidly gained the great popularity. As many online casinos provided all necessary stuff in order to have the games with the frequent access, others spread the most popular online products for the mobile platforms. One of the most successful online casinos even have special web page or the mobile devices that gives the opportunity to play with the help of smartphones or iPads.

Why is important to know how to choose the best online casino?

In the comparison with other online services, online casino is not controlled. This industry is based on the capitalistic form of self-regulation that is the result of the special objective ads for the promotion of different gaming places. Nevertheless, such actions do not prevent online casino to use different tactics and avoid payouts. Ads just aim players to the websites with the perfect reputation. That is why you have to take the ownership of choosing online casino.

Best Review of Casino Royale

"Casino Royale" has the answers to all my complaints about the 45-year-old James Bond series, and some I hadn't even thought of. It's not that I didn't love some of the earlier films, like some, dislike others and so on, as that I was becoming less convinced that I ever had to see another one.

This movie is new from the get-go. It could be your first Bond. In fact, it was the first Bond; it was Ian Fleming's first 007 novel, and he was still discovering who the character was. The longtime Saltzman-Broccoli producing team could never get their hands on the rights until now, despite earlier misadventures by others using the same title, and maybe it's just as well, because it provides a fresh starting place. And it returns to the family fold; with her father's passing, Barbara Broccoli is producer.

Yes, Daniel Craig makes a superb Bond: Leaner, more taciturn, less sex-obsessed, able to be hurt in body and soul, not giving a damn if his martini is shaken or stirred. That doesn't make him the "best" Bond, because I've long since given up playing that pointless ranking game; Sean Connery was first to plant the flag, and that's that. But Daniel Craig is bloody damned great as Bond, in a movie that creates a new reality for the character. Year after year, attending the new Bond was like observing a ritual. There was the opening stunt sequence that served little purpose, except to lead into the titles; the title song; Miss Moneypenny; M with an assignment of great urgency to the Crown; Q with some new gadgets; an archvillain; a series of babes, some treacherous, some doomed, all frequently in stages of undress; the villain's master-plan; Bond's certain death, and a lot of chases. 

It could be terrific, it could be routine, but you always knew about where you were in the formula.
With "Casino Royale," we get to the obligatory concluding lovey-dovey on the tropical sands, and then the movie pulls a screeching U-turn and starts up again with the most sensational scene I have ever seen set in Venice, or most other places. It's a movie that keeps on giving.

This time, no Moneypenny, no Q and Judi Dench is unleashed as M, given a larger role, and allowed to seem hard-eyed and disapproving to the reckless Bond. This time, no dream of world domination, but just a bleeding-eyed rat who channels money to terrorists. This time a poker game that is interrupted by the weirdest trip to the parking lot I've ever seen. This time, no laser beam inching up on Bond's netherlands, but a nasty knotted rope actually whacking his hopes of heirs.

And this time, no Monte Carlo, but Montenegro, a fictional casino resort, where Bond checks into the "Hotel Splendid," which is in fact, yes, the very same Grand Hotel Pupp in Karlovy Vary where Queen Latifah had her culinary vacation in "Last Holiday." That gives me another opportunity to display my expertise on the Czech Republic by informing you that "Pupp" is pronounced "poop," so no wonder it's the Splendid.

I never thought I would see a Bond movie where I cared, actually cared, about the people. But I care about Bond, and about Vesper Lynd (Eva Green), even though I know that (here it comes) a Martini Vesper is shaken, not stirred. Vesper Lynd, however, is definitely stirring, as she was in Bertolucci's wonderful "The Dreamers." Sometimes shaken, too. Vesper and James have a shower scene that answers, at last, why nobody in a Bond movie ever seems to have any real emotions.

Customs of Casino Place

If your vision of casino players is James Bond, in a tux, at Monte Carlo, forget it. American casinos do not enforce that kind of formality. Casual clothing and sportswear are most common, but you'll see everything from evening wear to T-shirts and jeans in the same casino. If some of your other preconceived notions about casinos are a little out of whack, here's a guide to what you should expect on the gambling floor.

Be sure you know the bet requirements at a particular slot machine or table game before you sit down. On slots or video poker, the denomination is either painted on the machine's glass or displayed on a video screen.

At table games, each table has a rectangular sign detailing minimum and maximum bets. Usually the signs are color-coded to correspond to the color of casino chips -- a white sign usually denotes a table with a $1 minimum bet, a red sign denotes a $5 minimum, a green sign denotes a $25 minimum, and a black sign denotes a $100 minimum, just as at most casinos $1 chips are white, $5 chips are red, $25 chips are green, and $100 chips are black. Do not take this system for granted, however; a few casinos have signs all of the same color or use different color coding. Read the sign before sitting down to play.

Table players change currency for casino chips at the tables. Place currency on the table layout and ask the dealer, "Change, please." The dealer will give you the corresponding amount in chips and will push your money into a locked drop box.

When it comes time to leave, remember that the dealer does not have access to cash at the tables. To change your chips for cash, you must go to the casino cashier's booth. If you have a lot of smaller-denomination chips and wish to change for larger-denomination chips to make it easier to carry them to the cashier's booth, ask the dealer to "color up." He or she then will give you one green $25 chip for five red $5 chips, or a black $100 chip for twenty $5 chips, for example.

Slot players usually cash out by pushing a button to print out a bar-coded ticket. That ticket can be used in another machine or redeemed for cash at the cashier's cage or cash kiosk. A few machines still pay out in coins or tokens, but they are being rapidly replaced.

Payoffs

You'll sometimes find payoffs expressed as "chances-TO-1"; other times, especially in video poker, they are expressed as "chances-FOR-1." In roulette, for example, the payoff for hitting a single number is 35-to-1. The player's one-unit bet stays on the table until the outcome is determined. If the player wins, he or she wins 35 units and gets to keep the original bet for a total of 36 units. But in video poker, the payoff for three of a kind is usually 3-for-1. The player has already put one unit down the slot and that is gone; the player who hits three of a kind gets a total of three units back for the one that has been wagered.

Bankroll

Do not go into a casino with money you can't afford to lose. Even at games with house percentages of less than 1 percent, there will be times the player just can't win. The worst thing a player can do is to start chasing losses, gambling money needed elsewhere in an attempt to win back money that's already gone.

Remember, the house percentage is in effect on every spin of the roulette wheel or slot reels. No law of averages says you have to start winning just because you've been on a long losing streak. If you've been betting on "Even" in roulette and odd numbers have shown up ten times in a row, the next spin is no more or less likely to be an even number than any other spin. Each trial is independent, and the house advantage still is 5.26 percent. Treat your gambling bankroll as an entertainment expense and budget accordingly. Set limits on losses and stick to them.

Once you've decided how much to budget for the day, play at a level appropriate to your bankroll. If you have $20 for a couple of hours in the casino, you can't afford to play $1 slots or $5 blackjack. You'll need to stick to quarter slots, and at that you risk being finished for the day in about 15 minutes.

In Illinois, where such statistics are released by the Illinois Gaming Board, the average casino customer loses about $100 in a typical day at the barge or boat. But you need to bring more than that with you. You need enough of a cushion to ride out the inevitable losing streaks that happen in any game.

Poker Quote

Best Gambling Songs

Countless songs by pop, country, rock, soul, and even heavy metal artists have found inspiration in the highs and lows of poker and gambling. These are some of our favorites to get you started on your own personal poker party soundtrack.

Note: Each song title links to a YouTube page where the song can be heard. Check ‘em out!

1. “The Gambler”

If you had to pick one poker song to play on repeat this would surely be it. Full of great advice, the classic line “You got to know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em” still has to be the quintessential poker couplet.





2. “Poker Face”
While it’s really about the game of romance rather than the game of poker, the catchy refrain of “Can’t read my poker face” should still psych you up to win.







3. “Ace of Spades”
One listen to this heavy metal classic about a die-hard gambler living on the edge will have your competitive juices flowing fast.







4. “Luck Be a Lady”
Lady Luck can be fickle and it never hurts to plead with her to be on your side, whether you’re tossing dice like Sky Masterson in the 1955 movie musical Guys and Dolls, or playing online poker in your den.





5. “Gambler”
“I’m a gambler, and I will take you by surprise / Gambler, I’ll aim this straight between your eyes,” goes this 1984 song from the soundtrack to the movie Vision Quest. Sounds like a good mantra for any card player.





6. “Viva Las Vegas”
Bring some Vegas swagger right into your home with the classic paean to the glitz and glamor of Sin City.







7. “Queen of Hearts”
Is playing with the queen of hearts not very smart, as this song’s narrator believes? You can make up your own mind about that one.







8. “A Good Run of Bad Luck”
This song about playing fast and loose in craps and in love was featured on the soundtrack to the much-loved 1990s gambling movie Maverick.







9. “Losing Hand”

Bouncing back from a losing hand is easier when you’ve got some soulful inspiration to steel you for your next round.







10. The Jack

If there’s one thing AC/DC are capable of doing is literally turning anything into a double entendre, including a playing card!

The all new partypoker Sunday tournament schedule

The all new partypoker has introduced a new Sunday tournament schedule. The key changes are the addition of an action-packed fun $10K Super Bounty and a wide range of new low buy-in tournaments featuring the best of the old but also new speed, rebuy, add-on and PLO tournaments – a great Sunday mix if you want to win top prizes and have fun playing tournament poker.

Famous Actors Gamblers

This list of celebrities addicted to gambling is loosely ranked by fame and popularity. It's no secret that stars love to spend their money. It's common for famous people to purchase everything from luxury cars to real estate, but there are a growing number of celebs who would rather gamble away their earnings at casinos and poker tournaments. Some of Hollywood's biggest movie stars have reportedly been addicted to gambling, including Ben Affleck, Charlie Sheen, and Tobey Maguire. Placing bets is also not a just man's pastime. There are plenty of female celebrities equally addicted to gambling such as actress Shannon Elizabeth, who is a poker pro.
There are also times when a gambling addiction spins out of control. The range of addiction can go from a casual player to compulsive gambler, which is also known by the term Ludomania. In 2011, music legend Gladys Knight revealed that she beat a nearly decade-long gambling problem and confessed to spending up to $40,000 a night playing baccarat. NBA great Charles Barkley admitted he has lost over $10 million at casinos throughout his adult life. We gathered a list of famous gamblers in the list below. See if one of your favorite Hollywood or sports stars has risked it all in the high stakes world of gambling and become one of these celebrity gamblers!

Being a successful gambler, especially in poker, requires a certain amount of acting skill. Maintaining a calm and rational demeanor no matter if you are on a hot streak or a dry spell (and, of course maintaining a stonewall poker face) is key to making the hobby a lucrative one.


As hard as that is to do in real life, we admire those talented actors that are able to do it in front of a camera and film crew. Below is our list of the best casino, poker, and gambling movie actors.

While Matt Damon has appeared in a few gambling-related movies, and John Malkovich’s role as Teddy KGB makes Rounders the most quoted gambling movie out there, for us it’s Edward Norton’s role in the 1998 poker drama that carries the film for us.

Playing Worm, a card hustler that just got out of jail and Damon’s best friend, he is quick to get back into the underground poker scene as a way to pay off some remaining debts. He is snarky, tricky, can’t seem to stay out of trouble, and seemingly makes everyone on screen around him come to life that much more.

Rounders is popular with many poker players – very much a cult classic, it was a hit with what was then quite an underground scene before the boom of online poker and the myriad of online options players have today,

While younger audiences might know him more for his voice work on shows like Family Guy and The Simpsons, it’d be impossible to not mention career villain James Woods when discussing the best gambling movie actors. One of his first roles was alongside James Caan (read more below) in The Gambler, where he undoubtedly learned the art of performing convincingly in a gambling film.
