Benefits of Playing Free Bingo Games
Free bingo games may not come with the biggest prizes, but there are actually several benefits of playing it. Here are some of them.
Of course, one of the greatest benefits of playing free bingo games online is that you do not actually need to pocket out any cash. This benefit can actually be extremely useful if you are a beginner who is just testing the waters or trying to sharpen their skills in the game of Bingo. As there will be a network of people playing as well, you can actually pick up some skills from other people through your chats with them. Plus, if you play poorly, should you lose consistently, the biggest loss you get would be your time spent. Anyhow, over time and mistakes, you will be able to build your confidence so that you will be able to put real money on when you think you are indeed ready. Imagine losing your real money from the beginning - that would definitely bring down your confidence in putting money on anywhere.
Speaking of money, because you do not actually need to pay anything but sign in with a username, password, and give a valid e-mail address, the matter of your security is one less worried about. There are many hoax web sites around which requires players to pay before playing, only to find out that it was all for nothing. Even if that was not the case, you would need to give some information about your bank account to complete your sign up in a paying web site. If you do not know their reliability, you may not be able to play in peace.
As being able to have a peaceful environment can have effects on your play, you can actually create the mood for yourself. While your screen may have a number of advertisements, for the rest of your surroundings, you can choose where you would like to play or what to wear. You could be playing in your pajamas without the care in the world of others looking at you, or you could put on your favorite tunes because your brain functions best that way. It is up to you how you would like to experience your game.
Other than that, because the game is fast-paced, one can actually sharpen their memory, attention, and reflex because those are the best combinations to have for this game. Especially since you are playing for free, you can take your time to gather such skills as you learn to scan through cards and take them in quickly. There is no pressure by anyone but you. With practice that you would not mind spending time and no money on, you will acquire such skills in no time. With so many benefits of playing free bingo games online, don't you feel like playing them now?

Rollover Bingo - Why Should You Play Bingo Online?
The face of bingo has really changed with the introduction of online bingo and highly advanced sites such as rollover bingo. Nowadays, it is possible for people of all ages to engage in this exciting game and win prizes. One of the reasons that you should engage in playing bingo online is that it helps improve the player's mental capacity instead of being just a pastime. This means that is you are seriously involved in the game you are less likely to become forgetful.
The game also helps improve a person's multi-tasking capabilities since the game requires a high level of hand to eye coordination. Quick thinking is also necessary for the player to be always on top of the game. Remember, you will not be dealing with just one card but many all of which should be marked and sorted while you are listening to the bingo calls.
Apart from the self-improvement reasons, there are various other reasons, which should encourage one to take part in playing online bingo. Unlike the case of self-improvement, these have instant and tangible benefits. The first reason is obviously the prizes offered by the bingo site. If you are a regular player but you have not won any decent prizes, then there is no point of engaging in the game. Winning a sizeable prize is the true indicator that you have grasped the concept and improved your skills. It is therefore important to check the prizes offered by the bingo site you are interested in and compare them with others offered by different sites.
The second reason is the bonuses offered by the bingo site. Bonuses are very important since they increase your chances of winning real prizes in online bingo. You should therefore consider the amount of bonus offered at the site and when it is issued. Some of the sites will only offer them when you sign up while others will offer them continuously. A good example is rollover bingo, which offers the players bonus points when they invite their friends. There are also certain sites that offer loyalty points, which give you a chance of playing bingo free.
Another reason is the additional features offered to the players by the online bingo site. These include the chat feature, which help in linking the player with other players. This will give you a chance to know people in other areas and also allow you to gain new skills from them. Remember, online bingo should not be a solitary game but should actually increase your chances of interacting with others. Rollover bingo not only provides for this, but also offers chat hosts to offer any assistance to the players.
Finally, entertainment and simplicity of online bingo should encourage you to get more involved in the game. This means that you should look for a site that offers both for an exciting experience. Once you buy the cards, everything else should be done automatically.

"Get a Real Job, Poker is a Waste of Time," the Mom Said to Her Son
Not long ago, a new acquaintance asked me about his poker playing exploits and asked if I thought it was a worthy pursuit, you see his mom told him that he needed to "get a real job, poker is a waste of time," and who am I to debate his mom. After all, she knows him better than I do. Nevertheless, in college I dated a girl who played poker and didn't have a job at all, she was very good, and always had plenty of money, she did well.
Now then, in all fairness, I wish to disclose that I do not play poker, but I understand the allure - and no, I don't think it's a waste of time, and neither does Bill Gates right? There are important skills, and tactics to win in that game. Some neuroscientists believe that humans have such a large brain due to their use of deception, keeping track of the webs they create, and as troops, tribes, societies got larger those with the largest brains were able to get to the top of primate politics, and evolution favored those with the ability to keep track of it all.
Lots of interesting issues when it comes to such card games, I kind of like three dimensional chess myself, business is a lot like poker, so too is war strategies as they evolve from political impasse. It's an interesting skill set. The art of negotiation is a lot about the game of poker and it uses similar skills as well. So, no Mom, I don't think it's a "waste of time" but yes, perhaps depending on your son's skills at the game, maybe he might need to get a "real job" someday? Please consider all this.
Pros and Cons of the Martingale System
Nevertheless, some people won't just budge from the idea of winning roulette and are actively aiming to make money from it. To achieve such clear goals, they employ betting systems that can purportedly help them do so. Among this is the very popular Martingale system.
The Martingale has rather simple betting rules. As usual, the player will start off with a small amount on an even money bet like black or red. This amount is doubled if the bet loses, and is decreased if it's lucky enough to win. As the bets are doubled, a single win can net twice the amount as the previous bet, which would mean recovery of all the lost bets plus a small profit on top of it.
This betting system has its own advantages and disadvantages however, and is neither fully effective nor suitable for everyone. Let's go on dissecting, shall we?
Pros
1. Very easy to follow.
With a very simple way of progressing, the Martingale is one easy strategy to learn and apply. It's not as complicated as Labouchere and Fibonacci, not as aggressive as Paroli, and definitely not as fallacious as L'Alembert. In other words, it is a betting system that even those new to roulette can easily master.
2. Sure profit in a single win.
As previously mentioned, a Martingale user will only need a single win to recuperate all the losses and get a modest profit. Winning a larger sum is also possible, provided that the player wins more than once.
Cons
1. A losing streak can ultimately lead to bankruptcy.
While one may be able to profit using the Martingale, it is also entirely possible for a player to have a long losing streak and not be able to recover the losses at all. Thus can this betting system lead you to bankruptcy as it can get you profit.
2. You'll always lose if zero comes up.
Martingale is almost always applied to even money bets and rarely to columns, dozens, or groups of single bets. In the case of even money bets, the wager loses if zero comes up. For those who do not know, even money bets include red, black, even numbers, odd numbers, low numbers (1-18), and high numbers (19-36) - zero is not in any of them as you can see.
3. You can't bet past the casino's set ceiling amount.
Modern casinos usually allow players to bet only up to the specified maximum amount. Now how can this be bad for Martingale users? Well, even if you have a lot of chips to spare, reaching the casino's ceiling amount and losing repeatedly would get you farther away from profit, as the strategy breaks at that point due to the fact that you can no longer increase your stakes.
So can we now conclude whether or not the Martingale is effective? Definitely not, as the system's effectiveness lie on no other factor than the player's luck.
Would US Online Poker Be Legalized Soon?
The fact is that the laws dealing with online poker in the country are somewhat vague and politicians and common public alike often misunderstand them. Since these laws took years to come into existence, the chances are small that they will be abolished altogether. But we can at least hope that the necessary amendments would be made so that US online poker players do not suffer from them anymore. The law that is most commonly misunderstood and seems to prohibit online poker is the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA), passed in 2006. But one should understand that UIGEA is specifically targeted at institutions and online sites that do the funds transactions related to online gambling. This law is in fact meant to consolidate the already existing laws against gambling.
The issue here is to understand that poker is not a form of gambling. Gambling is a pure game of chance where you just throw the dice and wait for your lady luck to shine. But poker is a game of skill. While there is an element of chance involved, it is mainly a strategic game. This sets it apart from all forms of gambling and at least theoretically, outside the reach of UIGEA, too.
Future however brings promises of good things to come. Recently, a Pennsylvania judge declared poker as being a game of skill as opposed to being a game of luck. Shortly afterwards, a Colorado judge declared the same. On top of it, Barney Frank, a House of Representatives member, has recently voiced his intentions to pass legislation that will help to counter negative effects of UIGEA.
So US poker lovers are pinning their hope on Obama administration. But remember that the President cannot do anything on his own. So raise your voice and let him know how much you want online poker to get legalized in the country.
Stock Markets Should Not Turn Into Gambling Casinos - A Look at the Shanghai Composite
Then when the Global Economic Crisis hit China, many of their companies that were involved in manufacturing and exporting took a huge dive in profits, meaning their stock price based on things like quarterly profits was completely out the window. Many Chinese, just regular small time investors felt it was not fair, as they had put their money into the stock market and watched it rise, only to fall again and give up 20-25% in a very short time period.
But besides all that, I asked one small time investor from China; "Do you realize why stock markets exist?" Interestingly enough, she didn't really, so I explained the stock markets exist to capitalize businesses. So, if that is what they are for, and if you really want to make money, you should be involved in the capitalizing of businesses, based on simple and sound principles.
Then I recommended to her, as I will to you, to read Warren Buffets essays, and to learn more about investing in the business world. Not long ago, I mentioned all this and the conversation to Guang Wu, the author of a new book; "China: Has the Last Opportunity Passed by!?" and his comments were that stock market investing is indeed much different and new to many Chinese Investors. So, please consider all this.
Become A Long-Term Winner In A World Of Short-Term Luck
There are however a few things that you can do to increase your chances of becoming a long term winner in this gambling world where short term luck seems to be the word of the day.
Firstly you need to understand that the game is rigged against you. Every single casino game has an advantage for the house, there is not a single game where you as the player have the edge. This is simply because a casino is a business and not a charity.
Some casino games have ridiculous advantages over the play, running into the double-digit percentages.
The second thing that you need to do to ensure long term winnings is to stick to two types of casino games. These are poker and Blackjack, and they are the only two casino games with the lowest possible house advantage. In poker the house only takes a rake and you can get an edge by being a good player and beating other players. With Blackjack, you can get very close to having an edge by playing perfect basic strategy and varying your best sizes.
Finally, the last thing that you need to do to ensure long term winnings is to be very disciplined and stick to very tight money management. Risk 1-2% per session of your bankroll that you have allocated to gambling. This will allow you to withstand the short term fluctuations even when you are playing as best you can.
Correct money management in combination with playing only Blackjack and poker gives you the greatest possible chance to be a long term winner of casino games. Anything other than this is pure gambling and short term luck and unless you quit while you are ahead, you're going to lose everything you win and more if you keep playing in this way.
Take this from someone who's lost a lot of money in casinos by not following this advice. This is the only way that you can win in the long term. There are plenty of people who have made a fortune from professional gambling, and there are many more who have lost fortunes. To which group are you going to belong?
