Video poker is widely regarded as one of the most-favorable casino games in terms of odds. Many variations feature less than a 1% house edge. Therefore, you might automatically assume that video poker gives you a much stronger chance of winning money than, say, Caribbean stud. The latter is one of the least-favorable games when it comes to your chances of winning. Caribbean stud carries a 5.22% house edge even when you use perfect strategy. This high house advantage ranks right near American roulette (5.26%), which is also considered one of the worst games as far as odds go. However,…

Scottish Premiership (Without Old Firm) Aberdeen once again start off as favourites to be best of the rest, but Derek McInnes has been handed a major blow on the eve of the season with the news leading marksman Sam Cosgrave will miss the first three months of the season. That could hand Hibernian the chance to keep the pace with the Old Firm as they adjust to life without a top-flight Edinburgh derby to look forward to. They look to have the right balance to improve once again under Jack Ross, as he pushes for a top six finish in…
On July 28th, UFC President Dana White announced that Khabib Nurmagomedov would defend the lightweight title on October 24th against the interim champ Justin Gaethje. This bout was tentatively scheduled for mid-September, but it had to be postponed due to Khabib’s father passing away from corona virus complications during heart surgery on July 3rd.

Las Vegas draws most of the attention in Nevada with regard to card counting. It offers numerous opportunities to count cards thanks to its 130+ casinos. The cross-state gambling destination Reno, on the other hand, isn’t known as a card counting haven. Although Reno features over 20 casinos, it just doesn’t carry the same publicity as Vegas. That said, some aspiring advantage gamblers want to know if it’s even possible to count cards in the “World’s Biggest Little City.” I’ll discuss this matter by covering what Reno blackjack is like and if it offers realistic counting opportunities. What Is the…

T he so-called “Non-COVID Municipalities”, with a low, medium, and high number of cases, have been authorized to implement “pilot plans” for the reopening of casino and bingo establishments in Colombia, in accordance with the executive order issued Tuesday by President Iván Duque.

Teams/Spreads Moneyline Odds Total Clippers +5 (-105) +190 Over 219.5 (-110) Lakers -5 (-110) -230 Under 219.5 (-115) I can hardly believe it, but the NBA is finally back. The longest season in NBA history is set to get back underway after a hiatus of nearly five full months, which is somewhat incredible. We haven’t seen the NBA since March 11, yet we have two games on Thursday night to get us started. The Jazz will face the Pelicans in the opener, but the better game comes later when the LA Clippers “visit” the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers and…

Roulette offers a large variety of different bets. You can make wagers that pay anywhere from even money (1:1) to ones that deliver 35x your stake (35:1). This variety gives you an opportunity to control the risk factor and potential payouts. If you want to win big, then you can place riskier wagers that have longer odds. Assuming you seek more-consistent payouts, you can choose wagers with stronger odds. Most roulette players opt for the latter. However, you shouldn’t completely discount bets with long odds. I’m going to make the case for why riskier roulette wagers are superior. What Are…
