Re: NHL Sports Betting
Betting every game is insane unless you vary the amount. By betting every game, you're assuming that the majority of the ML's or puck-lines that you bet are going to be "off" enough from their...

Re: team poker
There might be a way to do this with player's playing partnerships (like Bridge and Spades).

Re: Big swings in BJ?
If you're not counting cards, your best option is to walk away. If you HAVE to gamble (although I have no idea why you'd have to), bet everything you have on one hand and then walk away as it gives...

Re: Bored now. Invent a novel poker variant.
Okay - draw poker for high, two blinds.
One betting round.
Draw cards.
Second betting round.

Re: Stud Hi (A startling finding)
The way you played this hand makes me scratch my head. Just why did you call on 3rd? And how could you justify the call on 4th? And the call on 5th? With a pair of 10's with one other 10 in...

Re: Poker rooms in the US with 1-5 Stud?
Thanks for the information, guys. I really enjoyed 1-5 Stud when I played it in AC and only recently started playing face-to-face again. I might have to check out the Horsehoe at Tunica.
