Information is knowledge and knowledge is power, power is control. Everybody wants control. When comes the time and you have a fleet of card counters travelling up and down the country. You set up the venues-send them out and you take your cut. Now that is power eh? Not that anyone ever does this but we can aspire to be above and beyond our imagination. There are things which would make this dream somewhat easier!

I’ve heard of something which we can use to our advantage. There are anywhere between 20-25 million road users a day in the UK, now lets say your empire has caught up to your imagination maybe even surpassed it. You have 70 drivers. That’s right 70, don’t ask me why not 60 or 80-70 drivers sounds right. If you had a Vehicle tracking system you’d be able to know where and what your drivers are up to. Not only that you could streamline your entire process.

Streamlining is the key-in order to streamline you’ll need the information and this comes from the vehicle tracking system which gives you the knowledge-stemmed from that comes power and that’s what we’re about. This information which tracks where vehicles are, routes they’re taking, average speed, mileage, fuel consumption. A quick interpretation of this data accumulated over a period of time would show trends. Now’s time to play to your strengths, avoid your weaknesses but lest we not forget streamline for power.

Life in general wouldn’t be the same if it weren’t filled with myths, legends – and secrets. While some myths can be very entertaining to some, they can also be rather dangerous to those who are misguided and enslaved by them. But when it comes to slot machines, the following myths can more or less be the busting if any bankroll.

Be sure not to buy into them – not to swear by them.

Myth No. 1: A slot machine that is about to payout can be spotted – On the other hand, a winning slot machine can’t be spotted by the looks of it. Therefore, even a slot machine in a “bank” of slot machines with high-payout percentages will not guarantee a big, massive jackpot.

Myth No. 2: Casinos always place “loose” slot machines in specific places – While there might be some stock in finding “looser” slot machines in high-traffic areas – like near the cashier line, these “loose” slot machines are not always going to be found in the same spots – or in the same “specific” places. Casinos tend to move their slot machines all the time.

Myth No. 3: Determining your odds of winning by counting the number of symbols on a reel – Believe it or not, some slot-machine experts say that you can determine your chances of winning the big jackpot by counting the overall number of symbols and symbol combinations – something like slot-machine-jackpot numerology.

Myth No. 4: Winning the big jackpot by pulling the arm of the slot machine instead of pushing the spin button – As far as the slot machine, or better, the Random Number Generator (RNG) is concerned, both of these “playing options” are signals to start spinning the reels. But they say pulling the machine’s arm is the better option of the two – it will perhaps bring you a massive jackpot – Who knows . . .

Myth No. 5: The longer a slot machine goes without paying, the sooner it will – Well, while it is theoretically possible for a casino to change out the computer chip in a slot machine, this doesn’t happen where casinos are tightly regulated. After all, there’s no magic button that makes a slot machine either “loose” or “tight”.

Just like with any other game, you ought to have a strategy in order to play slots like a professional. Playing slots is not just about spinning the reels – everyone can do that!

It’s more about how you spin those reels, where you spin them and when you spin them. Winning requires a strategy, and even though slots playing seems like a very simple, innocent and rather uncomplicated game, you should know that slots playing is pretty much the opposite of that.

You need a strategy in order to win.

Here’re some useful tips and bits of advice that can help you make your own winning strategy:

Tip No. 1: Spin the reels with the money from your initial bankroll – Make it a habit to only play slots with the money from your initial bankroll, and not from any credits that you may have earned along the way – it would silly and very unwise. Provided you spin the slots’ reels with a certain amount of money from your initial bankroll, you will always walk away from the machines with some money in your pocket. It’s far better you do so in conjunction with a set limit on losses.

Tip No. 2: Break your bankroll down into betting sessions – This means your chances of winning the big jackpot will be increased if you break down your overall bankroll into “betting sessions” – instead of wasting it all away during one single game of slot playing. It’s much better, and less risky – remember that.

Tip No. 3: Know when it’s time to walk away – Basically, even if you haven’t hit your loss limit, but find that you are getting extremely frustrated and annoyed with the slot machine you are playing, it’s better you just walk away from it. In other words, try taking a break from playing slots, or then move on to another machine – or another game, altogether. But do remember: slots playing should always be fun and entertaining. If you start thinking about winning the big jackpot – constantly, then you will miss out on all the fun of playing slots. Winning is not the most important thing about slots playing – fun is.

Playing slots is very simple. There is absolutely nothing mysterious and esoteric about slot machines. But nonetheless, while there are a few slot machine myths that some players swear by, there are really no hidden secrets and formulas that will guarantee winning a big jackpot.

In order to understand the basic nature of a slot machine, all you need to know is that the winning symbol combinations are just randomly produced. Keeping this in mind, however, there are certain practices players should adopt, which will – overall – help to increase their success at slots playing.

Thereby, in order to understand these “practices”, here’re some tips and tricks:

Tip No. 1: Give your bankroll a limit – It is very important that you give your bankroll a limit before you start spinning the reels. In fact, as soon as you reach that very limit, stop playing immediately – and don’t think twice about trying to chase after any losses. Make sure your losing limit is not your entire bankroll. In other words, leave yourself some room, so you can either play another game, or come back to play another day.

Tip No. 2: Peruse through the payout schedules – It’s also important that you read through the payout schedules when selecting a slot machine to play. Opt for the slot machine with the best payouts for the lower winning symbol combinations. This means you might actually win a jackpot without having to waste away a lot of money.

Tip No. 3: Always look for slot machines with higher payout percentages – This can generally vary from game to game, but also from casino to casino – or in the case of online gambling, from website to website. Yet, if you do your research ahead of time by simply looking through advertisements, and speaking to slot floor managers, you will very likely be able to find a slot machine that pays out in the 96-98% range.

Playing slots is mostly about having fun – you never know for sure whether you’ll win the jackpot or not, so you might as well enjoy a game of slot playing. Since slot playing is all about pleasure and fun, you can also take advantage of it. Actually, take advantage of everything slot playing involves – it’s the least you can do!

Now, since this Chapter deals with playing slots wisely and having fun while doing so, here’re some very useful tips and tricks:

Tip No. 1: Take advantage of everything – If you’re a drinker, you may as well take advantage of all the free drinks offered. Order something expensive. After all, why drink Pepsi when you can have Heinekens instead?

Tip No. 2: Always bet max coins – Remember that you can’t win the big jackpot unless you play max coins. If you’re really optimistic and you’re sure there’s a big jackpot waiting for you ahead, you should indeed play max coins. Who knows, perhaps you are a potential slots winner.

Tip No. 3: Play the highest denomination slot machine you can afford – This is a trick every experienced slot machine gamer is familiar with. Remember: Do not play a denomination slot machine that you can’t afford – it’s too risky to lose the money you cannot afford losing. But still, it’s common knowledge that higher denomination slots have far better and bigger payouts.

Tip No. 4: Always doubt the slot system – No one can guarantee that you will win, nor can anyone guarantee that the machine won’t break down and swallow your coins. So never trust the system – there’s always the possibility that the machine will break down just after stuffing it full with a handful of coins.

Tip No. 5: Don’t waste your money on outrageously expensive playing-slots books and ebooks. You won’t learn anything too interesting from them anyway, as they’ll turn out to be a bit more philosophically-oriented and a bit less helpful. In fact, you’ll get more help from Google than a gambler-wannabe-author’s ebook-bestseller.

A sure bet if you’re a gambler is the snooker- got to love it.

If you’re a fan of the snooker then i’ve got a tip for you.

Follow a player called Mark Selby-aka the ‘The Jester from Leicester’.

This whipper-snapper is playing well so far and eased himself through the econd round of the world championships last week with a comfortable 10-6 win over Ricky Walden.

Currently Selby is stepping to John Higgins beat.

The game opening frames yesterday say Selby smash 3 frames in whilst Higgins sat down and flooded himself with the jug of water.

Higgins aswered right back with 3 frame winning breaks forcing Selby into the back seat.

Basically, the best advice anyone can give you about slot machines is to remember to have fun. It’s obvious – no casino gives the casino in general more f an edge than a slot machine. After all, you’re putting your entire trust into the casino as to how much they’re going to pay you in exchange for your coins, so you might as well enjoy it all.

Therefore, here are some tips for having a more enjoyable and pleasurable slot playing experience.

Tip No. 1: Don’t play with money you can’t afford to lose – It’s important that you remember this one. Don’t slot away money you can’t afford losing – like your month’s payment, your kids’ college money, or your scholarship fund – if you’re a student. Just like with every other casino or online casino game, you should be able to control yourself – even if you worship the game. It’s all about limiting yourself.

Tip No. 2: Don’t expect to win anything – Remember that slot playing is more about having a great time and not about winning a jackpot. If you get lucky enough and win the jackpot, then good for you – great! But if you don’t win anything, don’t feel sad, angry or disappointed. Always play for the sake of having a great time.

Tip No. 3: Don’t worry too much about “hot” and “cold” slot machines – There’s really no such thing, and if someone claims to be able to point those machines, they’re probably (if not definitely!) a bit too awkward.

Tip No. 4: Join a slots club – By joining a club, you can take full advantage of comps and rebates, available for slot players. Apart from that, you’ll even get lots of bonuses regarding slot playing. Plus, more experienced club members can advise you on how to play slot machines better. All in all, joining a slots club can help you a lot.

So now you think you can rummy me do you. So i’m going yo ask you the question-

Do you feel lucky……. well do you…….? Punk!

I’m going to answer the question for you and say that even if you are feeling lucky-i’ve been playing for about 10 years and i’ve only ever made it twice and seen one done 4 times-i’ve played many a good player and still not seen frequent rummying-plainly due to the problem that it can take rather long to win. In this rather long time the chances are you will probably loose-but its worth a go if you fancy our chances.

One more thing to remember-you can only win when it is your turn-so if you realise that you have won already but your go has passed-you must wait until it comes round to you again. If this happens but someone else wins before it gets back to you-you will accrew 100 points for holding a winning hand and not declaring winner-this is done due to the fact that people started playing in league with each other-holding fire so someone else can win by default.

So you’re an expert now and know how to keep your points nice and low eh. Well now i’m about to tell you that you’re wrong-if you have read this far and think you’re ‘big-time’, think again. You’re actually ‘medium-time’, I would have said ’small-time’ but that would be quite harsh considering you’ve probably already read about 1000 words trying to understand this nonsensical game of cards and jokes.

The reason for you not being ‘big-time’ is this. If any player at any point in the game whilst currently below 101 points manages to win a round with a suited run of all 10 cards, he/she will win the match outright, regardless of who is on the least points. This is called ‘the RUMMY’. This run can only contain a maximum of 1 joker as too unless used as a suited running card. e.g.

Win with no jokers

4s, 5s, 6s, 7s, 8s, 9s, 10s, Js, Qs, Ks

Win with 1 joker (joker is ALL 7’s)

4s, 5s, 6s, 7s, 8s, 9s, 10s, 7d, Qs, Ks

Win with 2 jokers (joker is ALL 7’s)

4s, 5s, 6s, 7s, 8s, 9s, 10s, 7d, Qs, Ks

Notice how the rummy has still been achieved here; it is because the joker card was rendered useless as the 7 of spades was used in a suited run correctly.

If you win with 3 jokers in an attempted rummy-its not classed as a rummy but just a normal win.

The points system works on an cumilative total, each player totals up thier points after each round, if you win you get 0 points for that round. It is possible to loose a round and still carry 0 points for that round, only if you have 2 runs of 5 cards. Although you cannot win with 2 runs of 5. Your points are 0 as out of all your cards none of them are outside a run or set. e.g. 2s,3s,4s,5s,6s 4h,5h,6h,7h,8h.

So its not all about winning the rounds, its about keeping your points as low as possible so the strategy is to win any round as soon as possible so is not possible for other players cannot keep thier points low and will exit the game if thier cumaltive total exceeds 101 points.

You could effectively win the game without winning any rounds, for example if you only carry 2 points through after each round, after 10 rounds of loosing, you will only be on 20 points and liklyness is the other players will be beating each other and will both exceed 101 points with you remaining in the game and declared winner.
