Caribbean Stud Poker Tip Sheet – Part One

December 21, 2019   Game guide   No comments

So you want to play some Caribbean Stud Poker? Well, playing any casino game without knowing the ins and outs is rather foolish. Today, I’ll share some Caribbean Stud Poker tips with you and you’ll be a better player for it.

This game does have some player interaction, unlike a game like Baccarat, so you can affect the final outcome that is your bankroll. The big decision in Caribbean Stud Poker is deciding to stay in or fold. Remember, you’re playing against the dealer only. The other players don’t factor in at all-aside from taking cards.

Let’s talk odds

What are your chances of receiving a bum hand? How about a flush? By knowing the following odds, you might be able to make your choices better.

The biggest thing to remember is that one out of every two hands will have nothing at all. This goes for both you and the dealer. And this is why I love playing the progressive. I’m telling you right now, nothing is worse than getting a four of a kind, having the dealer not qualify and watching your big payday go up in flames.

On average, you’ll get one pair every two hands. And that’s where the favorable odds end. You’ll see two pair about once every 21 hands and three of a kind once every 47 hands.

The odds really start to jump now. A straight will show up once per 256 hands, a flush once per 526 hands and a full house every 694 hands.

The big three hands show up infrequently. You’ll see a four of a kind once per 4,167 hands and a straight flush about every 72,202 hands. Think that’s high? There’s one hand left-the Royal Flush. The big daddy of all hands. Don’t hold your breath. The Royal Flush comes once per 649,351 hands on average.

So, if a four of a kind only comes every 4,167, why play the progressive? In Caribbean Stud Poker, the progressive is paid for a flush-once per 526 hands-and a full house-once per 694 hands.

The progressive is paid out no matter what the dealer has. And according to our odds, the dealer will fail to qualify very often. I know many pros say the progressive is a sucker’s bet, but given these odds, not using it is like playing Russian Roulette. You’re just waiting to get screwed.

In part two, I’ll give you three or four great playing tips for Caribbean Stud Poker. By the time you’re done, you’ll be a pro. Money can be made at this game. But, if nothing else, knowing the odds and the tips I’ll show you, will add fun to your playing time.

Online Gambling Rip Offs

November 10, 2019   Personal game   No comments

Gambling rip offs were never as common as they are today. Because of the internet gambling scams have a universal reach. Online gambling, although beneficial for those who love gambling, allowing them to wager and experience the enjoyment at home, has some downsides; more specifically the existence of online gambling scams.

Online scams usually include the refusal of a certain gaming company to pay you your winnings. Some gambling scams may even go as far as totally refusing to let you win with absurd odds, and then refusing to let you cash out the remaining money you’ve got left, if any.

One way to avoid these scams is to know what they are. Here are three of the most common online gambling scams that you should be aware of, and should be able to stay away from.

Refusal to pay legitimate winners their winnings. If a player wins, they should be paid in a prompt fashion without delay!

Software that generates unfair odds that do not reflect real casino odds of winning any given game.

Some gambling companies even go as far as inviting scammed customers under the ruse of “bonuses” telling them how sympathetic they are about you being scammed, and offering a bonus if you play with them instead. Just think, where did they get your contact details? Well they got it from that form you filled out when you joined the first scam casino, and they’re actually looking to rip you off again.

What do they do? When it’s actually time for you to claim your bonus, they say that you are ineligible to get the bonus.

To avoid being ripped off again, never fall for these types of offers. Even if you haven’t been scammed yet, they still send you a bonus offer then refuse to give it to you once you’ve deposited your money. A good rule of thumb with online gambling, if it’s too good to be true, then it probably is.

Research

One way to check out an online casino is its affiliations and memberships; one such is the Interactive Gaming Council (ICG). Another is to check the software provider to make sure it is really legitimate, such as Real Time Gaming (RTG). Search in search engines for the online casino name and “scam” or “rip off” or even “review”.

This will give you an idea of what other players are experiencing with the gaming company. Take any unresolved complaints, such as winners not being paid, or fake bonus offers as a warning to stay far away!

With a little research and caution it is possible to have a safe and secure online gambling experience!
