This is the last post that i will posting up here and share with you guys. Hope your will read it and leave comment to me.Thanks.
Failing to Follow Proven Game Strategies – You will lose consistently if you play on pure guesswork and whims. You must play online casino games by employing strategies that have been mathematically proven to be your best option.
Failing to Familiarize Yourself with the Rules of the Online Casino – Rules and regulations as to play at online casino games can differ from online casino to online casino. You can make mistakes that will result in losses if you don’t know the rules and regulations that govern play at a particular casino.
Failing to Familiarize Yourself with Promotions/Customer Service/Payout Protocol of a Particular Casino – You could lose out by not taking advantage of promotional bonuses offered, such as first-time deposit and loyalty bonuses. You must also be familiar with a site’s customer service policy and payout protocol in order to ensure your rights as a player.
Blaming Others for Your Gambling Misfortunes – You fool no one but yourself when you fail to look in the mirror for the reasons for your losses.
Failing to Try New Games – One of the bigger mistakes that online gamblers make is their failure to try new games. Games grow boring after awhile, and you lose your mental sharpness if you continue to play online casino games of one type.

Analysis of Table Gambling and Online Gambling.
This week i will going to discuss about the analysis of table gambling and online gambling. According the voting from the poll, 62.5 % of respondent thinking that they preferred table gambling while 37.5 % of respondent preferred online gambling.
The reason why the percentage of respondent choosing table gambling is higher compared to online gambling is because they think the atmosphere of playing gambling game on table is much more realistic and excited. They can feel the real feeling of touching the play cards and they can try their luck directly. Another reason of respondent more preferred of table gambling is because the bookie cannot play cheat during the game is playing.
The reason why there are respondent choosing online gambling as their choice is because some of them might playing illegal gambling. They worry that police will catch them for gambling. So they prefer to take the risk for gambling online. Another main reason of choosing online gambling is they can gamble no mattter where they are and as long there is internet is available. They can gamble no matter what game is it. For example: sport games and casino.
Health Advisory on Internet Gambling
The American Psychiatric Association issued a health advisory (January 16, 2001) about Internet gambling. The advisory, from the committee on Treatment Services for Addicted Patients, notes that there has been tremendous growth of gambling opportunities in the last several years. This includes Internet gambling aimed at children and teenagers. Children can link to gambling sites from other game sites, and are lured by free gifts and discounts.
Internet gambling can be more dangerous than other forms of gambling since there are few - if any - regulations as to fairness, and most of the operators are outside the US. These operations are not regulated by state or federal statutes, so there is no control over the types of games available or the ages of the participants. Hackers can manipulate the games, and can gain access to credit card numbers and funds.
As of 2000, there were more than 1,300 online gambling sites with revenues in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Research has shown a correlation between the availability of legal gambling in a state, and the proportion of the state's population who report gambling addiction or lesser problems. In all states, the rates of gambling problems are highest in high school and college-aged young adults. According to the advisory, about 10% to 15% of young people surveyed in the US and Canada report having experienced one or more problems related to gambling. This includes an estimated 1% to 6% who may satisfy the diagnostic criteria for pathological gambling.
Pathological gambling is an addiction-like disorder in which gambling-related behavior leads to damaging personal, family or social consequences. Individuals who have experienced 5 or more of these symptoms are diagnosed with this disorder.
- precocupation with gambling-related thoughts, plans, or activities;
- needing to gamble with increased sums of money to produce the desired excitement;
- reseltessness of irritability when attempting to cut down or stop gambling;
- gambling to escape from problems or relieve feelings of helplessness, anxiety, guilt or depression;
- after losing money gambling, trying to win it back with more gambling;
- lying to conceal gambling activities or their consequences;
- committing illegal acts to finance gambling;
- jeopardizing or losing a significant relationship, job, educational or career opportunity because of gambling;
- relying on bailout money from others to fix a desperate gambling-related financial situation;
- having made repeated unsuccessful attempts to control, cut back or stop gambling.
Problem gambling is the term applied to individuals with some but fewer than five of these symptoms. These individuals are at high risk for developing pathological gambling.
The isolation and timelessness of the Internet means that people can gamble undetected and uninterrupted for long periods. Young people may know nothing about the addictive nature of gambling, and may see it as a harmless pastime - just another cool game on the Net, but one where you might lose a few dollars. If a young person seems to be losing touch with other activities and is becoming increasingly involved with Internet or another form of gambling, they can get help at student health care facilities on their college campus, from mental health professionals, and organized gambling treatment programs.
The APA Advisory notes that the National Gambling Impact Study Commission has called for a ban on Internet gambling, but meanwhile the opportunities for gambling continue to grow at an explosive rate.

3 quick tips to help you play online gambling like a pro
online gambling become more popular nowadays. Some players can win money but some are not. so, this is the best time for me to introduce the three tips that help players to play like a pro.
First, Don't be afraid to commit to the pot. Once you have a really good hand, you should always bet a fairly large amount. You can try to draw players into the hand with slowly increasing bets. If you do a large bet, and a player re-raises you, don't be afraid to call. Players must play with significant of confidence. Confidence on your betting and willing to take chance have the most susccess.
Second, Avoid underbetting the pot. If you just bet a small figure after every turn, then more players wish be inclined to stay in. This increases the chances of person hit cards and beating you. The ideal dissipated scenario for person with a good hand is to bet just enough to support one person in.Or, if it is one on one, bet high enough to scare folk off.
Third, Cognize what to do with a draw. If you have a draw, you have to be really careful.This is mean by you have draw cards, but you need one or more cards so that can win.For example, needing only one more card in order to have a flush is really nice, but many players get over excited. Players sometimes bet extremely high in these instances and then end up losing the hand. It is important to cognize what to do in case of a draw. You should either check or bet small. The only time you should bet high is if you think that the another player makes not have anything.
Above are the three tips that help you play online gambling like a pro. I think there are still alot of methods or tips that help players play like a pro. If anyone know about that, please leave your idea or comment for me. thanks.

Spread Betting
Spread betting refers to any types of wagering on the outcome of an event, where the pay-off is based on the accuracy of the wager, in another way the betting rather than a simple “win or lose” outcome, which is known as money line betting. Spread betting is not a type of online gambling but it does relate with gamble.
The general purpose of spread betting is to create an active market for both sides of a wager, even if the outcome of an event may appear a priori to be biased towards one side or the other. In a sporting event, for example, a strong team may be pitted against a historically weaker team. Persons betting on the event normally would be likely to favor the better team, to such an extent that there would be very few, if any, betting on the team perceived to be worse.
The use of a "point spread" evens out the market towards an equal number of participants on each side of the wager. This allows a bookmaker to make a market by accepting wagers on both sides of the spread. The bookmaker charges a commission and acts as the counterparty for each participant. As long as the number of participants on each side is roughly equal, the bookmaker is unconcerned with the actual outcome; profits instead come from the commissions

This allows a bookmaker to make a market by accepting wagers on both sides of the spread. The bookmaker charges a commission and acts as the counterparty for each participant. As long as the number of participants on each side is roughly equal, the bookmaker is unconcerned with the actual outcome; profits instead come from the commissions

Being arrested for online gambling
Don’t Online Gamble in Malaysia
November 13, 2008
If you want to participate in online gambling, you are going to want to not do it in Malaysia because they just aren’t putting up with it. Police in Kuantan, the capital of Pahang state in Malaysia, have continued with their sweeping raids in an attempt to curtail online gambling.
They have arrested another 17 people this week in the Gabang area by simply sweeping through the cyber-cafes that have popped up in the city. They know that many of these cafés offer online gambling access, so they go in and arrest those that are participating as well as those that are running the places.
The police are seizing the computers and cash in these illegal online gambling locations, with the latest one taking place in Jalan Besar, Gambang. They detained those that were in the location participating in online gambling around 10:30 pm. They ranged in age from 20-50.
The police said that two of those detained were working the online gambling venue, while the rest of them were playing. They say that in addition to this raid, they have arrested 55 people as well as seized 38 computers. This latest raid ended in the seizure of nine computers.
The police said that the owners would be investigated “under Section (1)(b) of Common Gaming House Act 1953” and they could face up to three years in jail if convicted. They could also be looking at a fine of RM 50,000 – or both of these things. They will also undoubtedly have their cybercafé licenses revoked.

The Relationship Between Loan Shark and Gambler
First of all, I want to explain the meaning of loan shark. I believe that not everyone knows what does it means. A loan shark is a person or body that offers unsecured loans at high interest rates to individuals, often backed by blackmail or threats of violence. In much of history, usury laws made loan sharks commonplace. Many moneylenders skirted between legal and extra-legal activity. In recent years and no matter where it is, loan shark have been a feature of the criminal underworld, but otherwise rare. There are many registered and legal lenders that lend to people who cannot get loans from the most mainstream lenders such as large banks. They often operate in cash, whereas mainstream lenders increasingly operate only electronically, which means that they will not deal with people who do not have a bank account. Terms such as subprime lending and "non-standard consumer credit" are used for this type of lender. Payday loans are one example of this type of consumer finance. The availability of these products has made true loan sharks rarer, though some legal lenders have been accused of behaving in an exploitative manner.
In Malaysia, Ah Long (derived from the Cantonese phrase "daai ji lung", 大耳窿) is a term for illegal loan sharks in Malaysia and Singapore. They lend money to people who are unable to obtain loans from banks or other legal sources, mostly targeting habitual gamblers. They charge a very high interest rate (about 40% per month due to the constantly compounding interest.), and frequently threaten violence (and administer it) towards those who fail to pay in time.
Ah Longs advertised their services merely by distributing their calling cards. They distribute their card to everyone and anywhere. This make gambler can fing Ah Long anytime and anywhere.

Ah Longs advertised their services merely by distributing their calling cards. They distribute their card to everyone and anywhere. This make gambler can fing Ah Long anytime and anywhere.
The main reason that there are many gamblers borrow money from Ah Long is because they do believe if they win this game they will able to pay back everything included the money borrowed from Ah Long. With this reason , it make Ah Long keep increase in this sociaty. Gamblers never thinking the affect if they not able to pay the money to Ah Long.
Ah Longs do borrow money to anyone who holding an valid an identification card and the person must above 18 years old. Ah Longs will keep a photocopy of the identification card for their own save.
When a person fails to pay in time, the Ah Long will spray, splash, or write in red paint on the walls of the house or property of that person as a threat of violence and to shame the borrower into repaying the loan. According to local police authorities, there have been cases where borrowers were beaten or had their property damaged or destroyed, and some victims have committed suicide.
Tips to prevent losing many money when gambling
As everyone know online gambling is a bad activity that we should avoid. So I hope the tips below that I have show will help some gambler not to gamble until some unlucky stuff happen on them.
First of all, we should only spend what we can afford to lose. If we always bet and we can't afford to pay for what we have lost, we will try to borrow from friends and relatives or some even worst will borrow from loan shark.This will cause us having a debt that we could not pay finish.When u lose some money, please do not chasing your losses as it will cause u lose more than before.
Secondly, please keep in mind that the number showing in your screen is your real money. Any amount that you have lose in the screen show that you have lose money in real life. If you lose more then you need to pay more. So if you still want to bet, please look for some sites that can set your limit for betting per day to prevent you from losing more money.
Thirdly, always think of your family or someone you care. When you lose your money and owe many debt, your family or someone you care will always worry about you and help you to pay the debt. When come to the worst, they will sell all their asset to help you pay the debt. If you do not lose the money, maybe the money will bring happiness to the family which you can buy something for them to make them happy.

Online Bookie? Who he is and what he is doing?
An online bookie is an organization or a person that takes bets and pays winnings depending upon results or depending on the nature of the bet. All the bookies mostly are men.
Bookmaking may be legal or illegal, and may be regulated; in the United Kingdom it was at times both regulated and illegal, in that licences were required but no debts arising from gambling could be enforced through the courts.In some countries, such as Singapore, Sweden, Canada and Hong Kong, the only legal online bookies is state-owned and operated. In Canada, this is part of the lottery program.
With the arrival of the World Wide Web (www.) many bookies have an online brand. Bookies working hours normally is at the mid night and depending on does any sports play during the day. Bookies already set all the rules and regulation to the online game for the sum to pay and lose. The reason why I saying bookies am normally working at the mid night is because the time zone in Malaysia and the time zone of other country is different. Example: Football games normally play at evening time in Italy and it will be night to mid night in Malaysia, so the bookies need to update the result time to time to their customer and make sure everything is correct, so they need to work till the mid night.
Bookies also the one who decided the sum of lose and win. The agreement before a game has been told to the gambler before he is betting. For instance, Brazil or other contries who has won the world cup of football before and tonight there is a game Brazil vs. Germany. The sum of win might be pay lesser than the amount of the gambler bet. Bookies do take the chances of all the gamblers.
Bookies also the one who reminds gamblers what time and when the game will play? Not only football, many sport gambling such like ice hockey, badminton, basketball and so on. As a bookie, they should know the rules of every sport games very well.

Disadvantages of online gambling
The disadvantage of online gambling is that there is a chance that the player will not be paid for the winnings that were earned. Online gambling do this in the hopes that the person will lose it all later in the succeeding rounds. When you lost, is definately your credit card or auto transfer from you bank account will debit your money but when you win, is not probably you will get pay for the winnings.
Another problem of downloading such software is that there is chances that there is a virus that may also affect one’s computer. Downloading such online gambling software that the chances of getting virus is very high. There are some virus that you cannot heal with normal antivirus software, and you need to format the whole computer that cause you money and time and maybe your important file will be corrupt.
Some people think that gambling is the easiest way out of being in the slums. However, the odds of losing in gambling are much higher than that of winning. The online gambling is control by the owner. For example, they are many people buying casino NO.3 then the computer will not spin to this NO. This is all control by them that's why the changes of losing is higher than winning.

Experience On Online Gambling
Is online gambling good?On my opinion, online gambling is a no good activity. I remember my first time join online gambling is during FIFA World Cup 2006. During the first match which is Germany vs Costa Rica, the odds for the match was 1:0. My friend told me that bet on Germany sure win. At first Irejected but at last I have placed my bet because he allow me to bet for just RM30 and when result out just pay him if Ihave lose. The next day he give me RM28 and say that Ii have win. I am so happy then Ii cant stop for continue betting.
During the night,there are few more match is going on. I decided to bet RM50 for 2 match as I think is so easy to win the money. My friend give me a account on a online gambling website and tell me to bet there myself. Then I go to the website and placed my bet for the 2 match, I feel I am very lucky as I keep winning money. As I am lucky enough,I bet through out a week but of course I will losing some money but I still earning money.
Because of I have earn a lot of money, I decided to bet RM300 for a match. Unfortunately I lose the match. I feel that I will win next match so I bet RM300 on it again and i lose again. I just keep on betting and I owe my friend around RM2k. After that I feel that i should stop it as I can't afford to pay the debt. I told my parents about the debt and they agree to help me pay the debt but to promise them not to bet anymore. I am very appreciate for their help and I have never play online gambling anymore.
At last, I hope everyone think it before u bet.If you can't afford to pay the money you lost, please don't bet.
