7 Tips for Playing at Online Casinos

Playing at online casinos should be fun as well as potentially profitable. Nobody wins every time they play, but there are certainly ways in which a good player can increase the odds of success. Here are seven quick tips to help players get the most out of time spent at online casinos.

1. Choose the Right Place to Play. Look for major online casinos with established reputations for trust. There are dozens to choose from, so if something about one doesn’t seem quite right, move on to the next. The right venue will be one that feels comfortable and offers great games, great promotions, attractive graphics, understandable rules, easy deposits and withdrawals, plenty of game information, top-notch customer support, a steady flow of new games, and unquestionable security. Here is no reason to settle for anything less.

2. Take Advantage of Bonuses. All online casinos offer introductory bonuses. It pays to shop around. Look for bonus cash, deposit matches, free play, freerolls, and cash-back rebates. But don’t forget to study the ongoing promotions, too. Long after the “Welcome Bonus” has expired, the weekly and seasonal bonuses become most important. VIP programmes, referral fees, loyalty points, comps, prizes, gifts, and free tournament entries are just a few of the benefits to look for. Keep abreast of what’s on offer and don’t let good opportunities to play with “house money” slip by.

3. Set Some Limits. Playing “games of chance” means risk is involved. Players want to win, of course, but they need to know how much they can afford to lose, too. Many online casinos allow players to set limits in their account preferences. These will automatically prohibit a player from exceeding a pre-determined spending limit. The idea is to play with one’s head, not over it.

4. Master the Game. Online casinos offer a much greater variety of games than those based on land, which means more variations in rules. Before placing even one bet, take some time to get to know the game well, by studying the rules, developing a strategy, and practising on the “For Fun” or “Free Play” version, if available. Otherwise, use any available freerolls to get familiar with a game. When in doubt, don’t bet; move on to another, more familiar activity.

5. Wager Wisely. Betting amounts should not be based on hunches. At the very least, an educated guess is required, which means knowing what the house edge is, what the odds of success are, and what return on investment (payout) is possible. Wagers should be made according to the playing situation and in proportion to one’s bankroll. For example, sitting down at a £5-minimum Blackjack table makes no sense with a budget of just £20. Starting out small and working up to larger wagers with winnings makes much better sense.

6. Set a Moderate Pace. There is no need to rush a wager or play hurriedly, especially when playing slots or table games where the player determines how many spins or hands are played per hour. Time flies by quickly when deeply involved in online gaming. Take a few deep breaths and remember: there is no rush; just relax and play deliberately.

7. Know When to Quit. Just as limiting losses is an important aspect of play, so is recognising when to cash in. No string of good luck lasts forever. Many players like to set an objective for a session of play. When they reach their financial goal, they stop. The only risk in this approach is missing out on potential additional winnings, but there is never any shame in quitting while ahead. In fact, that’s the only way to win.

皇马市值34.4亿!全球最贵俱乐部

西班牙媒体《阿斯报》日前援引《福布斯》杂志的数据报告称,皇马是当今足坛市值最高的俱乐部,巴萨与曼联紧随皇马之后,其中曼联市值较之去年有所下跌。

上赛季皇马收入达到6.75亿美元,高于足坛其它任何一家俱乐部,本赛季皇马成绩较之去年有所上升,尤其是打入欧冠决赛,因此皇马收入得以攀升,《福布斯》杂志指出,如今皇马市值达到34.4亿美元,比去年同期高了4%。

排名次席的是巴萨,加泰罗尼亚豪门市值32亿美元,比去年同期高了23%。巴萨市值激增的原因是,球衣赞助商耐克公司与主赞助商卡塔尔基金会今年的赞助额分别提升为4500万美元与4400万美元,巴萨财力更为雄厚了。

曼联市值排名第三,达到了28.1亿美元,但曼联市值比去年同期下降了11%,原因就是曼联本赛季成绩下滑严重。此外,由于曼联铁定无缘下赛季欧冠联赛,因此收入势必又将缩水,到了明年,曼联能够跻身三甲还很不好说。

拜仁上赛季夺取欧冠冠军,市值得以暴增至18.5亿美元,比去年同期上涨41%。《福布斯》杂志同时还有指出,巴黎圣日耳曼与加拉塔萨雷首次跻身前20位,前者市值4.15亿美元,排名第15位;后者市值3.47亿美元,排名第16位。
