New Task For Delta Ligaz11 Force

By Bobby Delarosa

Calabasas, CA based entertainment software developer and publisher NovaLogic, Inc. announces Delta Force: Task Force Dagger for the PC.

 

Entertainment software developer and publisher NovaLogic, Inc. today announced a co-development partnership with Zombie Studios on the next Delta Force release for the PC. Delta Force: Task Force Dagger is scheduled for a May 2002 launch and is the fourth game in the successful Delta Force franchise that has sold over 3 million units worldwide to date.

 

Utilizing NovaLogic’s updated Land Warrior engine, Task Force Dagger has been designed by Zombie as an entirely new game with new characters, weapons and single and multiplayer levels. One of the new features that has never previously been seen in a Delta Force game is the ability to play as one of 10 Special Operations forces; from Delta Force and Marines Force Recon to SEAL and British SAS.

 

“Zombie is designing and developing a Delta Force game based on actual targets and objectives real life operations would encounter, from raids on airfields to the battle for a major city,” explained Mark Long, Zombie CEO.

 

Commenting on the development partnership, NovaLogic President, Lee Milligan said, “We’re very pleased to be working with Zombie Studios on Delta Force: Task Force Dagger. They have the experience, knowledge and ability to work with us to do the Delta Force franchise justice and to deliver a combination of realism and originality that will delight and surprise the Delta Force community”.

 

More details on the game will be released shortly.

Credit Card Ban Hinders Legitimate Charity from Helping QQ Online Players

By Bobby Delarosa

There is an unwritten rule in lesser developed nations that expects successful businesses to promote the general well being of its host country. But for one firm, an American ban on credit card transactions is putting a damper on what could be significant funding in poorer regions of the world including Africa and Asia.

 

The company, WildlifeWins (www.wildlifewins.com) was set up to help Wildlife around the world through an online charity offering online donations, scratch card, lottery and bingo games with proceeds going towards the animals. Like many animal charities it relies on proceeds from these ticket sales to fund its activities. What sets this company apart is that WildlifeWins.com sells its tickets exclusively online.

 

“It’s a shame that credit card firms are not utilizing the foresight in their gaming ban to separate legitimate online businesses that fund good causes from the sham operations that they are looking to stop” says co-founder, Carl Pretorius. “If you take a look at our business you will see that we are online to help the animals. This year alone we have raised over $20,000 towards our goal of $945,000 to help save four species of animals including Mountain Gorillas and rare Sumatran Tigers. Unfortunately, through the credit card ban, Americans are increasingly less able to make a contribution.”

 

When you visit WildlifeWins.com you have two options, you can either buy a bingo, scratch card or lottery ticket that gives you the chance to win up to $20 million, or you can make a donation directly to the aid of the animals you wish to preserve. However, with online credit card transactions related to gaming being negatively coded by major US credit card issuers, even cards registering to make direct donations are being rejected.

 

There is a light at the end of this tunnel. Pretorius tells us “Despite the rejection rates for legitimate transactions increasing, WildlifeWins.com was able to raise enough QQ Online money this year to help four endangered species. We are one of the only companies in the world using internet gaming to fund important conservation causes, and …

If You Can’t Raise UFA, Don’t Call At No Time

By Bobby Delarosa

I get this a lot. Some guy I knew centuries ago sees me playing forty-eighty hold’em and says to me, “what are you doing here?” I sigh.

Stuff like this has gone on most of my life. When you’re a hustler, you end up losing most of the time for the big win at the end. You play the fool. You can never show how good you are. There’s no applause here. You do your job and end up counting money in some hotel room, splitting it with your backers if you have any. Then, you wait for the girls, or the drugs, or the liquor to kick in. Most of the time I would watch TV thinking about all the mistakes I had made. There were always mistakes.

There were dreams too. Hustlers have their personal very unconventional nirvana. Mostly they want to make enough to never have to do it again. Mostly they hate the game they played. Like me. I hated that fact that I could never shine. Never show my stuff.

Heres how it goes. You play bad. Lesson number one. Your backer, who is a former hustler or money guy who likes action shows you. He picks up a few dollars and says this is what you get if you always play good; then he takes out the c-notes wrapped in a rubber band and says this is what you get if you play bad right up until the end. Okay chief. You get the message.

The hustlers are the little wizards of the world. They have the gift. They do something in one particular thing better that almost anyone else and the money rolls in. Still it is never enough. It is too easy. That is the trap.

Of course, the little wizards almost always fail in the end. Their window of opportunity is narrow and short. They never see until its way too late. It’s a peculiar sadness I’ve witnessed many times. The little wizards are in their own universe and this universe is alien and foreign to them and equally scared of …

ligaz11 Poker in the U.K.

By Bobby Delarosa

 

 

The Midland Masters at the Grosvenor Casino Walsall has been the big event since the last newsletter as it contained both the Quarter Million and the Grand Prix Final.

 

The Grand Prix Final kicked things off and with 27 nationwide heats being held already this generated a prize pool of £193,600.142 players contested the final and this proved to be a major success as it kept the numbers who contested the remaining tournaments at a high level for the week. Well done to Grosvenor for planning things this way.

 

Although there were no deals allowed at the final table the final 2 players Willie Tann and G. Davidson did make a deal away from the table taking home £39,000 each. G Davidson however went down as the official winner. His prize was further added to as the Casino gave him a holiday for 2 to Las Vegas with £1,000 spending money.

 

So the week started with a big event and also ended with one in the form of the £2,500 entry Quarter Million. This was not very well attended compared to last year as only 61 participated producing a prize pool of £152,500 which was roughly the same as first prize the year before. However the winner Iqbal Butt was not complaining as he took a first prize of £49,560 in a deal with Charalambos Xanthos who got the same for second.

 

Lucy Rokach

One player who always features in this newsletter is Lucy Rokach and she won another £20,800 by taking the £500 No Limit Hold’em. Lucy was a former school teacher and it would be great if she would give some lessons in Pokerschool Online. Her results this year have been truly amazing.

 

The £250 Pot Limit Hold’em went to Oz Mustanoglu £13,620, the £200 Pot Limit Omaha was won by M. Naserisfahny £15,610 and finally the £100 Pot Limit Holdem was won by Man Ip £11,140.

 

The final events of 2002 include the Christmas Cracker Festival at Brighton, the Poker Festival at Napoleons Sheffield and the Christmas Cracker at …

Sports Betting – If-win Bets

By Bobby Delarosa

If-win bets are based on the results of one particular game. Bettors wager a fixed amount on one team in an If-win bet. If that team wins or the game is tied, then another fixed amount – up to the original amount – is bet on a different team.

 

Your first wager must win in order for you to have action on the remaining wagers. If the first wager loses, there is No Action thereafter. You cannot have duplicate teams in the same If-win wager.

 

Sports Betting – Payoffs and Odds

The payoff for football, basketball, and hockey is $100 for every $110 wagered, unless otherwise noted. Therefore, $110 will be wagered if you specify a $100 straight bet.

 

At odds of 100/110, only 52.5% of your bets have to win for you to overcome the bookmaker’s profit and break even. As a result, the bettor only need a very small edge to become a winner. Some sports bettors win 55- or even 60% or their bets.

 

Parlay bets are another story. The actual odds of picking two winners is 3 to 1, but a typical payout is 2.6 to 1. This gives the sportsbook a 10% advantage, and that’s too much! Worse still, the odds usually get even longer when you add more games to your parlay. In a nutshell, it’s best to avoid parlay bets.

 

Sports Betting – Exotic Bets

Sportsbooks often post odds and accept wagers on a variety of other activities – just to keep life interesting.

 

For example, you may be able to place a bet on who will win the Presidential race or the Best Actor award at the Oscars. The oddsmaker sets the conditions and odds for these bets.

 

Many exotic bets are offered at 110 to 100 odds, but some will be offered at better or worse odds, depending on the bet.

 

Sports Betting – Future Bets

At the start of a season, the sportsbook will give kaya qiu qiu odds for each team winning the championship (World Series, Stanley Cup, etc.). For example, …

Craig Levett Interview about Casino

By Bobby Delarosa

CHUCK – Pyramid Casino is offering some sizable bonuses right now. Let’s hear the details.

CRAIG – I think our bonuses are the best on the Web. Right now we offer $50 free with a minimum deposit $50 and a 20% bonus on deposits over $250. Special bonuses are available for deposits over $1000. And no matter how much you deposit you’re entered in our draw to win a Porsche Boxster.

Have you had any problems with “bonus abuse”?

Not really. Some players make deposits, wager the minimum required, then withdraw. But that’s the name of the game.

Pyramid provides Java games as well as download games. Which is more popular?

Our download games are more popular because we offer more games in the download package. But we just launched the brand new Beyond2000 games on our site and they’re fantastic. The games aren’t available for real money wagers yet but players can come in and give them a test drive. We hope to be accepting real money bets on the new games by the end of October.

In addition to the new games, we have some other exciting things in the works: We soon hope to be offering Pyramid Casino credit cards that will make it incredibly fast and easy for players to collect their winnings.

How does that work?

The player simply applies for the card, then when they request a payout, we credit it to that card. Then you can access the funds through an ATM or other banking service.

So payouts will be instantaneous?

With this system payouts should take less than 24 hours. We’re still working out the details but I really hope we can implement this soon.

What else do you have in the works?

We will soon be increasing our deposit limits, at the request of our players. Players will be able to deposit up to $3000 per day and $15,000 per month. We have lots more news and I invite online players to check out the News and Info Section at our site for the latest.

Slot Gacor Money Management

By Bobby Delarosa

One of the biggest issues in poker is money management! I think one who looks to playing poker for the long term must have several skills to maintain their bankroll.

1) Have a sufficient buy-in… but don’t put all your eggs in one basket! I see this occasionally where an individual either comes to the table with such a small buy-in they can’t bet, and really play, nor are they given much time to play with limited funds (end up just losing a little bit of money fast). I’ve seen the other end of the spectrum too.. where someone moves up to a limit that’s beyond which a bankroll could support a few dozen losing sessions.

2) Fast playing at the table… regardless of the buy-in, or the limits. I see this all the time. Individuals that are in way too many hands. Or they don’t think of the possibility that someone other than themselves may have a hand and keep raising into a limper. In any event, I call these people “flash in the pan poker players”. They seem to be at the table, and an hour later it’s someone new filling their spot.

3) The biggest cardinal sin I have seen some of my poker buddies do is use their poker bankrolls for other means aside from poker. You gotta pay rent, food, entertainment, gas whatever fine but have money already set aside for that. Buying your girlfriend/wife/partner that ring she/he (have to be politically correct ya know!) has been nagging about with your bankroll only hurts you.

I believe in a 300 big bet bankroll.. meaning if you want to play a certain limit, you really should have a bankroll that supports 300 big bets…(10/20=6,000).

Having said that you should never be taking money out of your Slot Gacor bankroll except on your way to play poker, or use it for poker related material. Yes I will buy books and software with my bankroll (personally I aim to buy everything one day with my bankroll but I’ll be realistic and state that I can afford buying the …

Dublin’s Merrion Casino

By Bobby Delarosa

U2’s Edge Could be a Player

Last month the Merrion Casino played host to the rock group U2 for a night. The group had been in town performing live from their studios for a Radio 1 special earlier in the evening.

 

“We did have an inkling they were coming,” said Mags Manton, cardroom manager at the venue. “But they had asked for their visit to be kept under wraps with no press or cameras.

 

“Although it was only a brief stay, ‘The Edge’ [a band member] showed more than a passing interest in Texas hold’em, and I’d say there is every chance we might be seeing him again soon.”

 

Dealer’s Choice

The Merion has become the first Irish venue to offer dealer’s choice games as opposed to the traditional hold’em, four-card Omaha, or a round of each. The newly introduced games are seven-card stud, five-card Omaha, and four-card Irish, all high only.

 

Meanwhile, an extremely large cash game is being staged at the venue on Tuesday nights. Unfortunately, entry is limited — as it is played and organised exclusively by the Chinese community — and one can only speculate on what type of poker is actually played. Basically, it starts with a left-handed deal, it’s noisy, and things get more and more confused from that point on.

 

Automatic Shuffle Means More Play

More hands per hour are likely to be played at the Merrion in the future with the introduction of automatic shuffling machines. “We have taken just one automated shuffler on a trial basis,” explained Mags Manton. “Should they go down well with the players, we will use them on all tournament tables and possibly on the cash-game tables.

 

“The shufflers should not be a distraction, as they will work under the table and they allow far more hands to be played per hour, because they shuffle one deck as another is being dealt.”

 

Beginners Night

The Merrion’s general manager, Dara Hanlon, is hosting small-stakes cash game nights for beginners on Mondays and Thursdays. “The sit down is just 50 and the …
