Back to poker

World Cup gone in the past, made some small profit - pity I didn't used these free betting picks to increase it. Now I am waiting European championships to start and meanwhile will return to the tables. Hope fresh brain will do better :)

Netherlands-Brasil Uruguay-Ghana

I expect it to be a great game but it is very difficult to make prediction on such game, where both of the teams are in a wonderful condition and performed excellent so far. I believe that Brasil will win, while my father is strongly for the Netherlands and is seeking a good profit as bookmakers are giving. over 4.00 for the 'tulips'.

Our opinions also are on the both poles for the second game today with me seeing Uruguay on the semi finals..

Spain-Switzerland - Perfect

The match, pointed as the 'greatest surprise' during the first round of the World Cup was a great source of profit for people like me, capitalizing on such 'surprises'. Uruguay did it better than I expected ( my forecast was only 0:2). For today I expect Greece to make a surprise against Nigeria, while France and Argentina most probably will not face any significant resistance.

Right results- good cash

Only Serbians did bad t the world cup an didn't meet my prediction, but the others are scoring right and this results in hot cash. The other important thing is to register in the right betting rooms, as most of the good poker rooms are not offering good sports betting. In this sense a good site is Bonusite.com which offers a number of the best bonus offers allover the net.

World cup - huge profits

So the world cup has started and poker tables are now empty. However sports betting is also a good source of money  with all that free bonuses and thousands on events to bet on. I was pretty sure that Mexico and South Africa will finish 1:1 and and bet on it in several rooms. It is not so easy to find a site that offers the best bonuses but I would definitely recommend this one. These guys has spend some time to handpick all hot bonus offers for the world cup, as well as some poker and casino ones. Waiting for the next match now and hope France and Uruguay will also draw.

The quick guide to Razz, Stud and Omaha

A friend of mine (who recently discovered the wonderful world of poker) asked me if a could compile in short a quick guide for the rules and basic strategy of some poker variations. There are thousands of sites about Hold'em, Razz, Omaha, Stud and the tens of other variations of poker, he says, but there are too 'detailed'. Ok man - I'll try to compile for you in brief the rules and basic strategy - but just an advice for everyone 'discovering the wonderful world of poker' - be sure to play for free first and never put more than you can afford to lose on the table.

Fast Start

As I am starting with my first steps in the world of online poker I definitely needed a bankroll and of course there is no better deal than the free $50 from Poker Strategy. I registered there, passed a simple quiz and - voilà - I have the cash deposited straight in my Everest account (unfortunately Party Poker is not allowed in Bulgaria). In fact, I plan to review more thoroughly the site, as it has a lot of interesting lessons about, MTTs, S'n'G's, cash games and many more.

In sake of 'testing the water' I entered a $1+0 tournament called 'a chip and a chair' and a 6-max Limit Hold'em s'n'g with 120 players. What a fish tank and calling stations workshop!!!

The MTT was a pure gambling in the beginning with 'players' calling each others' all-ins with all kind of crappy hands... After that I was to play with survivors (read: lottery winners, who seem to have missed the basics of the game and thinking of outs and pot odds as of some king of mystery. Several times obvious flushes and straights were called by middle pairs, two pairs and my favorites... Q or J high.. Thanks God the guys on the final table knew what the game is about..

I also won the sit'n'go to add the incredible amount of $0.18 to my bankroll :)

However, I pledged to myself that I will keep a strict discipline and will not risk more than 5% of my bankroll at a time and now I am going to try some single table double and triple-ups with a wide variety of buy-ins and will avoid the cash tables, at least until I reach the $ 100 benchmark.
