Turkish Grand Prix

Fri, 06 May 2011 20:50:00 +0200

The Turkish Grand Prix in Istanbul on May 8th is the first European race of the 2011 season and a race in which Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel will be hoping to return to winning ways after seeing his unbeaten start to the year end in China.

Vettel has a relatively poor record in Turkey, a race which has seen Felipe Massa win three times for Ferrari in the six years since its inception 2005, with just one podium finish to his name. Last year, it was McLaren who dominated the race with Lewis Hamilton leading home team-mate Jenson Button in a one-two result.

The new rules and tyre manufacturer in 2011 has meant that being on the correct strategy is crucial this season. That was proven in China when race winner Hamilton and the third placed Mark Webber (Red Bull) were flying home at the finish on fresher tyres preserved during the qualifying sessions.

Qualifying is becoming less important and the battle for pole position is perhaps not what it used to be. Vettel, who has taken pole position in all races this season, is a very short favourite to both top the grid as well as land the race victory he has yet to achieve in Turkey. It should be another intriguing race in which a lot will unfold as we move closer to the chequered flag.

The Turkish Grand Prix is the fourth round of the Formula One season.

Grand National 2011

Wed, 06 Apr 2011 00:00:00 +0200

The 2011 John Smith's Grand National, the world's greatest steeple chase race, takes place at Aintree Racecourse on Saturday, April 9, with Don't Push It and Tony McCoy attempting to win the race for second year running.

Multiple champion jockey McCoy ended his search for a victory in the great race 12 months ago when leading Don't Push It to success, but the pair will have to concede weight all round in the marathon four-mile and four-furlong contest over some of the trickiest fences (30 of them) used in any horse race.

Whoever prevails in the 2011 renewal of the race, which dates back to 1836, they will join a roll of honour that includes the names of three-time winner Red Rum, the only horse to achieve the feat, Aldaniti, ridden to victory by cancer-suffering Bob Champion, Mr Frisk, winner in 1990 in the fastest ever time, Lord Gyllene, who won on a Monday in 1997 after the race was rescheduled following hoax bomb alerts two days earlier, and Mon Mome, whose 100/1 success in 2009 made him the biggest priced winner of the race.

Among the contenders in opposition to Don't Push It are The Midnight Club, the choice of leading jockey Ruby Walsh, Blue Sea Cracker, purchased by last year's winning owner JP McManus just last week, Tidal Bay, Midnight Chase, Synchronised, Big Fella Thanks, fourth last year, and Backstage.

But arguably the most likely winner will be the Sir Alex Ferguson-owned What A Friend. Fourth in the Gold Cup at the Cheltenham Festival when beaten by just 11 lengths, he effectively is lumps of weight in hand and, with regular jockey pilot Daryl Jacob retaining the ride, there is every chance of a Manchester United win on Merseyside.

Financial Spread Betting

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 23:33:00 +0200

Financial spread betting or spread trading is a simple but versatile tool which allows you to profit from both upwards and downwards movements in market prices. It involves predicting the future price movements of a financial instrument, e.g. share, commodity or index, for a specified amount per point of movement.

The 'spread', also known as the 'dealing spread', is simply the difference between the price at which you can 'buy' and the price at which you can 'sell' a particular market. When opening or closing a bet, you buy at the upper end of the spread and sell at the lower end.

When you open a spread betting position, you simply speculate on whether you think the markets will move up or down. This means that the more a price moves in your favour, the more money you make; the more the price moves against you, the more money you lose. With most spread betting companies you can choose from an great choice of shares, plus indices, forex, commodities and more. You can trade a number of different financial products on one account and the deal sizes are flexible, so you can bet in amounts which feel comfortable to you.

If you have never had any experience trading shares or currencies, financial spread betting may sound somewhat confusing and complicated. However, once you have gotten used to the basic idea and the terminologies, you will find a great tool that enables you to profit from both rising as well as falling prices 24 hours a day; Realtime and tax-free.

Two Ways to Win By Raising

Mon, 19 Jul 2010 20:43:00 +0200

Raising Gives You Two Ways to Win Aggressively betting and raising is usually superior to passively checking and calling. One reason for this is that raising gives you two ways to win, while passive play supports only one. Suppose you have 8-8 and raise before the flop. One player calls your raise and both blinds fold, but the flop of J-7-5 misses you completely. If your opponent checks, you should bet. Here's why. The flop figures to miss him too, and if he entered the pot with two big cards, the odds are against his hand containing a jack. Your pair of eights is probably in the lead at this point. If he does have a jack, you are a big underdog. But if he doesn't have a jack, and doesn't have a pocket pair of nines or larger, you are in the lead and your bet is an offer to your opponent to fold his hand. If your opponent came out betting, you still might want to raise. In a heads-up encounter, the flop figures to miss both of you. Your opponent might bet to drive you off the pot. But if you raise, you've put the ball back in his court and now he has to decide what to do. If he checks the turn you'll stand a good chance of taking the pot with a bet. You might have the best hand; you might not. It doesn't matter. The trick is in the betting. You make it difficult and expensive for him to keep calling with what he suspects is now the worst hand, and by doing so you give yourself two ways to win. You can win by convincing your to fold, or you can win by having the best hand - which is the only way to win if you tend to play passively. By betting and raising you charge your opponent a price to look at another card or give him an opportunity to fold. And that's just what you want to do. Your hand is not strong enough to lure an opponent into calling. It's the kind of hand that should be happy to win the pot right now, and the way to do that is to get your adversaries to fold. But they won't fold if you play passively. You have to be aggressive to convince them that folding is their best or wisest choice. Convincing them that you have the strongest hand requires your willingness to commit money to it. With a middling hand, the best way to do that is through aggressive play. For the cost of a single bet or raise you have a unique opportunity that you can never have by checking and calling. You can win in either of two ways, and if a good chance of winning only costs one incremental betting unit, the price is usually a bargain.

Tour de France 2010

Thu, 01 Jul 2010 11:15:00 +0200

The 97th Tour de France, cycling's most famous and prestigious event, begins in Rotterdam in Holland on July 3rd and runs for three weeks before culminating in the traditional finish along the Champs-Elysees in Paris on July 25th. The gruelling cycle race sees competitors cover almost 3600 kilometres across 21 stages, including the prologue which starts the race in Rotterdam, with the riders enjoying just two rest days during the three week tour. The tour moves from the Netherlands, through Belgium and then on to France before finishing in Paris. Among the field will be the reigning champion Alberto Contador from Spain, who won it for a second time last year, as well as the American Lance Armstrong, who won the Tour de France on seven successive occasions between 1999-2006. The wins make him the most successful rider in the history of the Tour de France. The tour will be Armstrong's last. Twenty-two teams will take part in the 2010 edition with Contador leading the Astana team and Armstrong heading up Team Radioshack. ------------------------------------- For Great Sports Betting Odds & Live Results Visit: http://www.Betfair.com

US Open 2011

Tue, 15 Jun 2010 17:03:00 +0200

The US Open, which takes place at Pebble Beach between June 17-20, is the second of the four golf majors of 2010 with Tiger Woods returning to the scene of his record-breaking victory at the Californian venue in 2000.

The US Open follows the US Masters in the golf major with The Open and the USPGA the other two majors of the year.

It will be sixth time that the US Open, which is rotated around courses in the United States, will have been staged at Pebble Beach. Jack Nicklaus won the first-ever US Open at Pebble Beach in 1972 before Lanny Watkins (1977), Tom Watson (1982), Tom Kite (1992) and Woods added their names to the Roll of Honour.

Woods' victory 10 years ago set a new record for the US Open as he fired a lowest four-round total of 12 under par, the only time a player had struck a double-digit under par total. His 15-stroke winning margin remains the largest in the history of the tournament. That was only Woods' third major and his total has since ballooned to 14 in the decade since, including two more US Open titles in 2002 and 2008.

In US Open betting, despite his lack of time on the course Woods is vying for favouritism on his return to Pebble Beach along with Phil Mickelson, who won the US Masters at Augusta earlier in the year. Lee Westwood, winner of the St Jude Classic last week, is the third favourite.

American Lucas Glover is the defending US Open champion having won the 2009 tournament at Bethpage in New York. ------------------------------------- For Great Sports Betting Odds & Live Results Visit: http://www.Betfair.com

Below are reviews of the online casinos accepting US players we recommend.

French Open 2010

Mon, 17 May 2010 12:50:00 +0200

The French Open is the second of tennis' four Grand Slam events and is play at Roland Garros in Paris in May.

Along with the Australian Open, Wimbledon and the US Open, the French Open makes up the sport's four majors. Of the four, it is the only one played on clay courts with the 2010 tournament beginning on May 24 and running for two weeks.

The current men's champion is Roger Federer, who ended his hoodoo in the tournament when defeating Roger Soderling 12 months ago. That victory ended Rafael Nadal's French Open dominance, the Spaniard having won the previous four years including when defeating Federer three times in the final. The four successive titles match the achievement of Bjorn Borg who won the tournament in 1978-1981, the final four of his six wins.

Nadal, the most successful of the present players, is favourite to regain the French Open title with bookmakers going 4/9 about his chances.

The women's singles final was won last year by Svetlana Kuznetsova, who overcame fellow Russian Dinira Safina in the final.

Chris Evert holds the best record in the women's draw in the open era having won the French Open on seven occasions, one more than Steffi Graf. Of the current crop, Justine Henin's four wins make her the most successful. ------------------------------------- For Great Sports Betting Odds & Live Results Visit: http://www.Betfair.com

Spanish Grand Prix 2010

Fri, 07 May 2010 10:55:00 +0200

The Spanish Grand Prix, the first European round of the Formula One season, takes place at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona this weekend with world champion Jenson Button attempting to win the race for the second year running.

Button raced to victory from pole position last year when with Brawn GP as his charge to world championship glory continued at a rapid pace. He heads to this year's event holding the lead in the drivers' standings once again following two victories for new team McLaren from the opening four Grands Prix.

Despite sitting fifth in the drivers' standings, Red Bull driver Sebastien Vettel is favourite to take both pole position and race victory in Spain and remains at the head of the market to be crowned world champion. He has qualified in pole position in three of the four events this season, but his only victory came in Malaysia when he was not at the head of the grid.

The home fans will be hoping Fernando Alonso can add to the popular victory he earned in 2006 as a Renault driver. He started with success on his Ferrari debut in this year's season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix but has missed out on the podium in the three subsequent races.

His hopes of success will be strengthened by the record of Ferrari in the Spanish Grand Prix. The Italian team have won the race 11 times in total, including most recently in 2007 and 2008 with Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen. Of the drivers, Michael Schumacher's six wins make him the only multiple-Spanish Grand Prix winning driver in the line-up. ------------------------------------- For Great Sports Betting Odds & Live Results Visit: http://www.Betfair.com

2,000 Guineas 2010

Thu, 29 Apr 2010 10:47:00 +0200

First held in 1809, the 2000 Guineas is the first of the Classics of the 2010 flat horse racing season and in St Nicholas Abbey the Irish look to hold a strong chance of winning the famous race on Newmarket's Rowley Mile for the seventh time in the last 10 runnings.

The contest, which gets its name from the prize fund of the first ever race, is run over a mile and sees some of the smartest juveniles from last year bid to make the perfect start to their Classic season. The winner will be joining an illustrious roll of honour that includes names such as Nijinsky (1970), Nashwan (1989), Rock of Gibraltar (2002) and Sea The Stars (2009).

Sea The Stars won the 2009 renewal in brilliant fashion for trainer John Oxx, becoming the sixth Irish-trained colt to win since 2002. He then defied the statistics by becoming the first Guineas winner to land the Epsom Derby since Nashwan achieved the feat, before completing a remarkable season by winning the Irish Champion Stakes, the Juddmonte International and the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.

St Nicholas Abbey has been a short priced favourite for the 2000 Guineas throughout the winter thanks to his two-year-old form of three wins from as many runs. If he is victorious he will be earning trainer Aidan O'Brien a sixth victory in the race since 1998.

The 1000 Guineas, the equivalent of the 2000 Guineas but for three-year-old fillies, takes place 24 hours after the 2000 Guineas. It was first introduced in 1814, four years after the 2000 Guineas was first run, and the roll of honour includes names such as Attraction and Oh So Sharp. Last year's race was won by Ghanaati in a course record time. For live horse racing results & a £10 free bet please visit our partner. http://ww.PaddyPower.com

Playing Mixed Games

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100

This tip comes from our friends in Full Tilt Poker - written by Jennifer Harman. Despite what you see on TV, there's much more to poker than just Hold 'em. The great players are judged by how they play all the games. In the big cash games at the Bellagio, we play an assortment of games every night and at the World Series of Poker*, they've introduced a $50,000 buy-in HORSE tournament that attracts many of the world's top professionals.

This week, Full Tilt Poker will begin spreading mixed cash games for players of all limits. It's a great opportunity to experience the fun and challenge that comes from playing a variety of games in a single session without putting a huge dent in your bankroll. While a lot of fun, mixed games do have some challenges and, for this tip, I want to give some suggestions that will help you starting out.

One of the hardest things for new mixed games players to become comfortable with is the flow of play. With games switching every 10 hands, it can be difficult to instantly adjust your thinking in order to concentrate fully on the game at hand. It will take some time and experience, but eventually, you'll be able to go from Omaha Hi/Lo to Razz and be ready to play your best as soon as the games switch.

Until you're comfortable with the game flow, here are some pointers that can help make the switch to mixed games a little easier:

    * Be sure you're playing the right game! I play a lot of HORSE Sit & Gos at Full Tilt Poker and, in almost every one, there's a player or two who makes the mistake of playing Razz when the game is Stud, or vice-versa. Even in the big game at the Bellagio, this sort of mix-up happens all the time.

    * Work on your weakest games. If you find that your Stud Hi/Lo game isn't as strong as it could be, spend some time at the Stud Hi/Lo tables and work on improving your skills. Put in enough hours at each individual game so that you're grasping the subtleties of all of them when you play a mixed game.

    * Play stronger in your best games than in your weaker games. You may be a master at Stud and feel you can play a lot of different hands well in that game. But if your Omaha Hi/Lo is relatively weak, you'll need to tighten up in that game and play only premium starting hands. Look for starting hands like A-A-2-3 suited or A-2-K-Q that offer the potential to make both the nut high and nut low, allowing you to scoop as many pots as possible. Or in Razz, for example, stick to starting hands with three cards of 8 or less - if that game isn't your strength.

If you're anything like me, you'll find that it's tough to go back to any one game once you start playing mixed games. You'll miss the mental challenge and fun that comes from this type of poker.

Know your table limits

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 14:47:00 +0100

This tip comes from our friends in Full Tilt Poker - written by Paul Wolfe. In the 18 months that I've been playing poker, the one uestion I am asked most often is a variation on the following: "Hey Paul? What are you doing in this 10-20 No-Limit game? Ivey, J-dags, and Matusow are at the 25-50 No-Limit table, and E-dog is playing in the 50-100 Limit game. Why don't you join them?" The first thing I do when I walk into a poker room is put my name on the lists of games I'm interested in; the next thing I do is have a good look at the particular games I've just signed up for. More often than not, I'll sit at the first available table when my name is called, but I immediately take stock of the game and behave accordingly. Often times, everything is just fine, but sometimes I'll ask to be added to the table change list. Other times, a seat change button is enough to make the game palatable. On rare occasions, I simply leave the table. As I play, I take note of the loose players and tight players, and then use that information to decide which seat will be most profitable. Likewise, I keep a casual eye on the other games. If I get called for a table change, I make sure the new game is the more lucrative one; if it's not, I'll stay put and ask to be put at the bottom of the transfer list. And while I have seen unbeatable 3-6 games and very soft 10-20 games running side by side, it's safe to assume that higher limits mean tougher games. If you're playing to learn, nothing will challenge your poker skills like being at a table with Howard Lederer and Phil Gordon. If you're playing poker for entertainment and making money isn't your goal, by all means choose your tables according to where you'll have the most fun. But if your only goal is to make money, forget about everything except picking the weakest game at a limit you can afford, even if it's the 1-2 game when you're itching to play 2-4. In ring game poker, it is better to play smaller at the table you're likely to beat than it is to play bigger at a tougher table. You also need to take your time about moving up a level. I have seen many 1-2 players sustain steady win rates at those stakes for a month, then disappear for weeks after taking a shot at the 2-4 game. Knowing where to play is as important as knowing how to play. If you pay close attention to your game selection, you'll grow the kind of bankroll that will allow you to have more games to choose from.

The Side Card

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 00:00:00 +0100

The Side Card In a game that features communal cards that all players must use to make their hands, it is not unusual for two holdem player to end up with hands that are identical except for their unpaired side cards. It is your side cards, or kicker, which often makes the difference between winning or losing.

The reason A-K is regarded as a big hand , while A-2 is better thrown away the majority of the time is strength of the kicker. If you flop a pair with A-K, it is guaranteed to be the highest possible pair with the best possible kicker. But with A-2, you will flop either a pair of aces with the worst possible kicker or a pair of deuces that seldom figures to be the best hand.

The Right Poker Room

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 00:00:00 +0100

The Right Online Poker Room The main difference between playing Poker online and offline is that you don't know anything about the players on you table. You won't know if anyone is drinking or has come to socialize and flirt at the expense of playing Poker, but there are some clues that help you decide whether you are in a good game or not. Most of the clues can be found in your online site's lobby. Check the average size of the pot and the number of players who typically see the flop. Bigger pots usually mean looser play, but not always. You will want to avoid games where a relative few numbers of players see the flop but the average pot is quite large. This is a sure sign of a very aggressive game, with frequent raising before the flop. In game like this it can cost quite a bit to see the flop, which is not always going to be to your liking. However, the more players per flop, the more certain you can be that you have found a looser game. If you find a game with a relatively large number of players seeing the flop, but with moderately sized pots, you can be sure you have found a loose, passive game - and those are the easiest games to beat. Once you are at the table, pay attention to the chat unction. If you see a lot of chatter going back and forth, it is another sign of a very social game. It also maybe a sign that these players know each other very well and have played together before. While they won't know your style at all, they will be familiar with each others play. There are pluses and minuses to this, but if you are in a chatty game, where raising is infrequent but there are lots of players in each hand, you have found a good game.

Follow the money

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 00:00:00 +0200

Follow the money After playing Poker now for years with all kind of players I found that there is one single mistake that players of all level do. They call too frequently. They call when they really should fold.

Nobody like folding hand after hand, but if your goal is to win money at the poker table, that's exactly what you will have to do. You might not have as much fun as your opponents - at least not until you walk out of the casino with a lot of chips and they are left with a pocket full of hope.

Now that we are aware of these tendencies of the other players, we can start thinking how to take advantage of these tendencies. When a player will call too often and fold too infrequently, he will not be easy to bluff. But you can get him to call with a weak hand that he wuld chick if teh choice was his. Save your bluffs for good, strong players and bet your marginal hands for value against players who call all the time. Weak opponents are the type who will call with a lesser hand then yours.

In a tournament or a no-limit cash game you might not want to play as many marginal hands. But when you do make a big hand, you can nickel and dime your adversary into calling his money away. Particularly if you are able to price him into the pot by betting just enough to seduce him ino calling with losing hand. Once you reach the turn or the river, you can put him all-in for his remaining money. Now tat the pot has grown so large, he is very likely to call himself right out of the tournament.

In a limit game, you don't have to be wary of betting the river if you bet the turn and were not raise. Unless the river card makes an obvious flush or straight for an opponent chances are good that your hand is still the strongest one in play.

Because texas hold'em is such a front-loaded game, hands that are good on the flop and the turn tend to be good on the river too.

Learn to Multi-Table

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 00:47:00 +0200

This tip comes from our friends in Full Tilt Poker - written by Mike McDonald. Learn to Multi-Table Many players new to online poker find multi-tabling - playing more than one table at once - intimidating. While it might seem this way at first, there are several things that you can do to get the most out of your experience right from the start. One of the first things to consider is how to arrange your tables. Tiling your tables so that they're beside each other without overlap lets you see the action at every table at all times. A second option is cascading your tables. This is particularly useful if you have a smaller monitor and are playing lots of tables. Personally, I prefer to tile my tables so that I've got a better view of all of the action at once - I find that I time out a bit more and miss out on some good opportunities when I've got them cascaded and can't see everything at once. Try both formats and decide which works best for you. Take advantage of the FTP Hand Replayer to learn from big pots. This gives you the chance to review how your opponents played their hands and then make player notes for future reference. You can make notes by right-clicking on the player and entering information about their play, like "bluffs too much" or "very aggressive player". Save your notes and use them to identify players to avoid or players you're willing to get into pots with. When you play multiple tables and catch big hands at more than one table at a time, you need to make sure you get maximum value out of each one. To begin, you should be aware of how you got into the hand - experience will help with this. Occasionally, if I'm playing too many tables, I'll be in the middle of a hand and wonder how I got there. That's what you want to avoid. Play a comfortable number of tables so you don't limit your capabilities. Over time, you'll be able to handle more tables. It's also important to keep track of how many tables your opponents are playing. If a player is at more than one table, it's likely that he's a regular Multi-Table player. This is important because it affects the way your opponents play. Most Multi-Tablers will play fairly straightforward and won't make elaborate bluffs. When I'm only playing one table, I'm more likely to make an aggressive move than when I'm playing four tables or more. I'd also recommend that you buy in for the maximum amount on each table and keep it topped up so you can capitalize on the power of a full stack. Generally, I think it's a good idea to top up when you lose a pot - I like to stay as deep as possible. When I get into a big pot for full stacks, I'll usually have the best hand and I want to be able to get as much value as I can - I'd rather have a full stack than 90% of a stack so that I get maximum value from that situation. Keep these things in mind as you start multi-tabling and you'll find it's not as intimidating as it initially seemed.

Mobile Baccarat

Sat, 12 Sep 2009 00:47:00 +0200

Mobile Baccarat - Baccarat (also known as "punto banco") is one of the oldest luck-based casino card games and it has a reputation for being a glamorous game for rich gamblers. Baccarat is a simple game with only three possible results - 'Player', 'Banker' and 'Tie'. The term 'Player' does not refer to the customer and the term 'Banker' does not refer to the house. They are just options on which you can bet. In mobile baccarat, as in any baccarat, two or three cards are dealt to 'The Player'and 'The Banker'.Tens and face cards count as zero in baccarat, and only the last digit of the total is counted. In other words, an 8 and a 7 add up to 15, so the hand would count as 5. Your job is to predict whose hand, the Banker's or the Player's, will be closer to 9. You can also bet on the possibility of a tie. With Mobile Casino Tropez you can download Baccarat straight to your mobile phone for free and start playing within minutes! If you already have a Casino Tropez online account, you don't even need to open another one to play on your mobile - simply download any mobile game you want and sign in with your existing username and password.

A Night Out - is a 5 reel, 20 payline slot machine game with wilds & scatters, and bonus round. The number of winning combos and the great theme makes it my favourite out of all the mobile slots available. A massive 10,000 coin return where coins can be worth between 0.01 and 5.00 with up to 10 coins per line means not only can you finance a Night Out but a whole year of them if you wanted! This Slot Machine symbolises a night out in a club with attractive girls aplenty and cocky cocktail barmen to make you feel right in the venue all atop of silky animations and quirky sounds. Also included is the scatter symbol of girls dancing to allow a win from the total bet at stake and a cocktail barman to treat you to a bonus round! Look for the 'Dollar Ball' icon to serve you up prizes including the progressive jackpot, which makes this slot a 'reel' treat if you spin the reels in your favour! Wild Symbol - The Beer symbol not only helps create winning lines out of losing spins, thanks to its abilities of substitution, yet as mentioned before, it is the trigger symbol for a massive 10,000 coin return; definitely the symbol to watch! Scatter Symbol - Look out for the girls on the dance-floor! Not necessarily just in real life but also in 'reel' life! Find three or more of these icons and you can win a return of your multiplied total stake on that spin.

Bingo Rules

Sat, 12 Sep 2009 00:47:00 +0200

Bingo Rules - Playing bingo online is easy and fun. Simply register as a new user with one of the online bingo websites like "Bingo Day" or "William Hill Bingo" and you are ready to play within minutes. Once you have registered you can log into your account and use all the great features that make playing bingo online so much fun, such as auto-daub. Auto-daub automatically marks off the numbers on cards as they are called, so you don't have to. But before you dive into the action - make sure you understand the basic rules of Bingo so you can enjoy yourself right from the start. The Basic Bingo Rules A Bingo game starts when all the players buy bingo tickets. A bingo ticket is a card with a 5x5 grid. 5 columns on the card correspond to 5 letters of the name of the game "B-I-N-G-O". 24 numbers per each card are random from the limits of 1 to 75. The center of the card is an empty space. After that the game begins and the caller selects numbers at a random and calls them. As soon as the caller calls one number, all the players mark it on their tickets. The winner is determined when one or several of the players complete the winning bingo pattern. The pattern can be different depending on the hall. As in one casino it can be a line , either vertical, horizontal or diagonal, a full house (when all the numbers are to be covered) or any symbol, letter or digit. The numbers in the columns of a Bingo ticket are selected at random and printed according to the range - numbers in the B column are from 1 to 15, in the I column between 16 and 30, in the N column (that contains four numbers and the free (blank) space) between 31 and 45, in the G column between 46 and 60, and in the O column between 61 and 75. Now that you understand the basic rules - why not try it out straight away. Our friends at Bingo Day are giving each player a �10 free bonus. So there has never been a better time to learn Bingo.

Bingo Lingo

Sat, 12 Sep 2009 00:47:00 +0200

Bingo Lingo - Playing Bingo online for the first time can be somewhat confusing if you are not familiar with all the technical terminologies. To make live easier and bring back the fun to the game I have tried to explain all the most common Bingo terms in plain simple English. 90 Ball Bingo - 90 Ball Bingo is played on a strip of six tickets, each of which has a 3 x 9 grid pre-filled with five numbers and four blanks per line. The objective is to be the first to get one line, two lines or all three - a Full House.

75 Ball Bingo - 75 Ball Bingo is played on a ticket consisting of 24 random numbers between 1 and 75 in a 5 x 5 grid with the centre square free. Each game plays for a different pattern which must be matched to win. Bingo Bonus (BB) - A special prize awarded in certain competitions. Every BB is different and is specified by the terms of the competition or the CM. Bingo Board - As each ball is called it is highlighted on the bingo board or called numbers board which shows all 90 or 75 numbers arranged in five columns. Each column can be headed with the letters with B-I-N-G-O to assist in chat games. Card - See Ticket. Chat Games - Online bingo rooms are famous for their chat games, played right around the clock. From simple trivia contests to big tournaments based on the numbers being called in bingo. Chat games add some extra spice to your bingo experience as well as extra prizes. Chat Moderator (CM) - The Chat Moderator is your host in the chat room but also your entertainer, your friend and helping hand. The CM is also there to make sure the basic rules of chat etiquette are observed. Chat Room - A chat room is the heart and soul of an online bingo game. It is here that players meet and make friends (buddies), exchange news and views and join in the Chat Games organized by the CM. Coverall - Coverall is a term used in 75 ball bingo to describe the pattern which requires all numbers on a ticket to be called. It is also called a blackout. Even in a coverall game, the centre square of the ticket is given free. Bingo Room - An online bingo site may have a number of bingo rooms, each offering different types of bingo or just different themes based on ticket prices, game speed or even different languages. House - House is the traditional cry in UK bingo halls when a player wins. In online bingo, House normally refers to the player who is the first to mark off all 15 numbers on a ticket. Inside Square - Inside Square is one of the most commonly used of the 3,000 patterns in 75 ball bingo. To win the player has to "mark" or daub the eight numbers surrounding the free square in the centre. Jackpot - Most bingo games will play for a jackpot as well as a prize. The jackpot goes to the first player to achieve the full house or the pattern for that game within a published number of balls. One Line, Two lines - A 90 ball bingo game has three phases and usually three prizes. In the first phase, the player to first achieve one horizontal line is the one line winner. The game will then continue until a player achieves two lines and finally all three lines or full house. Minimum Buy-in - Every bingo game has a minimum number of tickets that have to be purchased in order to play. Games will also have a maximum number of tickets and some games are played "Fair and Square" where all players have to buy the same number of tickets. Nick - Short for Nickname. This is the unique name that a player uses in the chat room. Pattern - 75 ball bingo features up to 3000 different ticket patterns which are the arrangement of squares on the ticket that the player has to achieve in order to win the game. Some patterns are animated and can be won on any of the "frames". Prize - The prize is the pot of money played for each bingo game and is usually related to the number of tickets sold in that game. The prize is won by the player or players who first achieve the pattern or, in 90 ball bingo, the one line, two line or full house. Progressive Jackpot - A small portion of the price of bingo tickets is paid into one or more progressive jackpot funds, which grow over time as players buy tickets. These jackpots are paid out to players who achieve "Bingo" within a predetermined number of balls. RNG - Online bingo uses an RNG or Random Number Generator to ensure that the balls are called in a totally random order. The RNG has to be independently tested and certified by the bingo hall's licensing authority. Speed Bingo - In speed bingo the numbers are called every two seconds instead of every four or five seconds. This results in a much faster and more exciting game. Split Pot - Occasionally two or more players will claim at the same time. If this happens, the pot is split and shared equally between the winning players. This also applies to jackpot wins. Tickets - To join a bingo game, every player has to purchase one or more tickets. In 90 ball games, each ticket has a 3x9 grid randomly pre-filled with five numbers and four blanks per line. These are normally sold in strips of six containing all 90 numbers. 75 ball tickets or tickets contain 24 random numbers arranged in a 5x5 grid with the centre square free. PLAY BINGO ONLINE
