Mobile Phone Gambling – Online Gambling Right in the Palm of Your Hand

Posted on October 26, 2011 by admin

Smart phones today, are what their names say they are – very smart phones indeed – and this advanced technology, together with users having become au fait with smart phone social networking, has led to a leap of faith in the online gambling community. Finally operators are seeing the numbers of targeted customers they initially believed mobile gambling would bring to them – come. Mobile gambling has always been believed to be the next big wave in popularity for online gambling trends.

Now we have the provision of real money gambling right in the palm of our hands; at our finger-tips, so to speak, and we are already seeing a major trend-setting taking place. For example online poker is not so popularly played on mobile handsets, not really even on smart phones; whereas mobile sports-betting is seeing massive leaps in growth. We are seeing stupid growth percentages of between 500% and 700% for some online gambling operators, which is really making all operators sit up and take notice.

More and more online casinos, sports-books, bingo and poker rooms today, are providing mobile gambling software across all possible platforms; these include iPhone, Android, iPad, and Blackberry. But, don’t worry, your ordinary WAP enabled mobile phone is still able to accommodate real money play online gambling and will be for a while. It is simply a case of logging on to your favourite online gambling site and clicking on the mobile tab.

Most of these mobile products feature all of the most popular games, and mobile sports betting platforms are picking up the pace to offer more odds and live updates on hundreds of different sporting activities. Also find bundles of games available today; in the old days we used to have to download games to our mobile phones on an individual basis. This makes quite a difference to how we view and play these games.

More and more software platforms are also being specifically designed for cross-platform offerings, and Microgaming has a great product they have called Quickfire, which shoots off over 160 games across every possible platform. This also means that specific individual games to not need to be developed for mobile, and the more choices we have in this gaming genre, the happier we are to play. It is also notable that many of the huge Progressive jackpot Prize networks are being added to mobile gaming platforms, offering more opportunities to play and to win, exactly the same massive PJP’s as we find at online gambling sites.

There are also all the old casino favourites being played on mobile gambling platforms, find blackjack, roulette, baccarat, craps; you name it; it can be played on a mobile phone. If we are not sadly mistaken, there are even live casino games available with smart phone technology. Just like live video streaming takes place online, it is available on your mobile too.

Deposit and withdrawal systems are fully integrated, which means you can deposit, win and withdraw just as instantly as you would when playing online – it’s actually all the same really; just a slightly different way to play. Wherever you are, whenever you want!

Online Poker – Do More Hands Mean More Profit?

Posted on May 11, 2011 by admin

The gospel of EV in poker has been seriously challenged by the young-bloods in poker today. They certainly do not play by the poker adage – “tight is right”. Today’s online poker hot-heads appear to have made many of the old poker adages go the way of the dinosaur by playing in constantly aggressive mode for the most part. This sees them making millions of dollars in short periods of time, over thousand of hours spent on their computers; playing muti-table cash games and tournaments. This new phenomenon has caught the attention of the scientific community and in a recent study out of Cornell University – one sociology student believes that the adage “tight is right” may be quaint for current poker trends, but is actually more than likely correct.

Published in the Journal of Gambling Studies and excerpted in “Science Daily” the study points out, that players entering more hands simultaneously and more regularly than their “tighter” playing poker peers, are more apt to lose more money overall. These results “coincide with observations in behavioural economics.” So, perhaps the challenge of the gospel of EV, is not as challenged as we were beginning to believe.

Kyle Siler is a long-time online poker player as well as a Cornell sociology doctoral student, and it is he who performed an experiment to substantiate his study by using PokerTracker. This is an invaluable tool for any player, something which most online poker players know. The determination of the study was, that the more hands which are played, the smaller the profits and bigger the losses in terms of overall earnings.

Using PokerTracker he compiled 27 million hands. These were broken down into small, medium, and high-stakes players. Results were analyzed in their entirety. He suggests that players overvalue the number of wins vs. the actual cash won. The study also suggests that the results found were deemed to have more relevance to players who are less experienced and play at smaller stakes tables. He also expounds on how the break-down of the various levels of poker play ie. small, medium, and high-stakes, are expressive of human behaviour; in other words – how human beings manage risk and indecision.

Another very interesting aspect of this online poker study relates to the value of pocket pairs. The old-school of thought poker players such as Phil Helmuth and Doyle Brunson maintain that strong starting hands with high pocket pairs are the way to play. Gently nudging them off this ledge of belief are the younger players such as Daniel Negreanu and Gus Hansen who maintain off-beat styles and espouse playing less than quality hands. Stiller’s study found smaller pairs – 2′s through 7′s to be more valuable to small stakes players. The point is that value of small pairs is less ambiguous while medium pairs – 8′s to J’s, and their value are more difficult to understand for small stakes players. Apart from the small stakes category – the study does maintain that the higher the starting hand – the more profitable the method of play.

The Joagroup Company has just won the public market offer from the city of Seyne. Joagroup is the third most important group of casino if France and they has just confirmed that they got the casino project of Seyne. They want to build a boat casino in Seyne, just beside the water like a real boat with the scenery. The casino would be composed of a big tradeshow room that can receive until 700 people, two restaurants, bars, gambling games room outside and inside, and one outside where the smoker player could play in it. Nevertheless, the project is not so official because the group have to wait for the authorisation of the minister to get the last validity project. The minister has to accept that a casino can be built in this region. It won’t be a problem, so, this is why the group is expecting to open this new boat casino in 2011.
