1. Leave the lucky rabbit’s foot or miniature frog at home
If you ever want to make money gambling, you have to forget about all superstition. I know its fun to think that my miniature frog will somehow align the stars to give me gambling prosperity, but it wont. Read the rest of this page »

I recently saw a really decent gambling movie called “21”. My expectations weren’t too high, but they were far exceeded.

The plot is that an intelligent student joins a school club that trains in cheating Blackjack casino systems. Our “hero” only has small experience in poker playing, but since he has a sharp mind he slowly catches up. The math that the members of the club pull off is really something, and with those skills they are able to win absurd amounts of cash. Naturally, though, this has a dark side to it. Their lifestyle is far from safe and they start to get different sorts of enemies, even among them. Actually they are leading a kind of double life, where school is their scene on the weekdays, while Las Vegas is their destination come the weekend. There they can afford to live in a way far beyond imagination, with enormous hotel suites, expensive clothes, expensive food, huge parties, room service and so on.

Their leader, and teacher, is played by Kevin Spacey who does his part brilliantly, as he always does. That actor really has a wide register, in which he knows how to play warm, ice cold, funny, scary and so on. It took me some time to realize it, but fact of the matter is that he has already played a University magister earlier, in the movie “Life of David Gale”. That is also a really nice film, I reckon.

He has also played against Kate Bosworth earlier, in the movie “Beyond the sea”, which he does again in this piece. She plays one of the students.

Another of the actors are Laurence Fishburne, most famous for his role in the Matrix movies. However, the actor that impressed me the most in this film was Jim Sturgess, who plays the leading role. Previously he has mainly done TV productions, but now he is considered one of the rising stars in Hollywood. I loved how his character completely changed during the course of the movie. He went from a geek with no style to a cocky, modern man with nothing to lose.

I haven’t played a lot of card games myself, though I like poker a lot. Even still, I really liked the scenes in which they play Blackjack. The rules aren’t that hard, yet it is amazing to see what they do when they are cheating. Actually, this is based on a true story, where a group of A-students trained themselves in tricking the system.

All in all, I really recommend it!

Casino games are fun, often money based forms of entertainment that has many people playing daily worldwide. In times past the casino was the only place you could play casino games. However, this has changed due to new technologies such as casino game software’s. Playing online is bigger than ever with pay for play sites that offer real money to winning gamers. There are even television programs that deal with casino games, how they are played and various rule aspects to each game. I will go over the three most played casino games and give you a little bit of relevant information on each.

Poker Play

Out of the many types of Casino games to choose from, poker is by far the most popular. Understanding the rules of poker while developing winning techniques is what separates the casual poker player from the professional high roller. In this game, huge amounts of money can change hands with a single deal of the cards. Many seasoned gamblers earn a living by participating in poker tournaments and online poker playing. Just to give you an example of the amounts of monies that can be made, just consider Jamie Gold from Malibu, California. He made over twelve million dollars in the recent WSOP championship tournament by beating out the competition. Video poker is an electronic version of poker where you play against the machine instead of other participants. Video poker isn’t legal in all places due to strict gambling laws. The places that have video poker machines do pay out cash to its winners. This allows for traditional gambling at diverse places such as truck stops in addition to casino locations.

Blackjack Basics

Another frequently played casino game is the card based Blackjack, commonly called twenty one. Like most casino games there are several ways to play and win. The most basic principle to understand is that the value of a hand full of cards can’t exceed twenty one. Understanding the terms and ways to play in blackjack and how they affect the game is very important to learn and utilize. Words such as double down, flat bet, hit and paint are commonly used in blackjack. Any player who wants to advance in this game should be familiar with all of the blackjack terminology used around the world. Since blackjack is a game of strategy, there are many resources available for the gaming student to utilize in order to get better. Books, seminars, tutorials and instruction manuals all aide in bring average players up to an advanced level of play.

Roulette

The casino game of roulette is a little different from blackjack and poker in several ways. In roulette you will need more than just a deck of cards in order to play. You need a roulette wheel, markers, chips and other accessories in order to get a game of roulette going. Prices for roulette wheels can be as little as a few dollars for a basic model all the way up to thousands of dollars for more professional wheels. This fast paced game involves primarily luck where other games are determined by a mixture of luck and skill. Bets are placed on numbers and the people who are the closest to that number wins.

Whether it be blackjack, roulette or poker, casino games are quite enjoyable and may be lucrative if you know how to play.

I saw "21" the newly released film with my office mates at E-Square on Tuesday, the occasion: Quarterly Project Party (QPP). It was new because this is India, it generally takes a while for them to come here. Personally, when it comes to occasions like these (QPP), it doesn't really matter how good or bad the film really is. You're out there with your colleagues looking at a fun evening out - getting away from that damn cubicle, desk and the TFT monitor one keeps staring into all day long.

21 is a decent film, nothing out of this world and nothing I'v never seen before as far as how the story unfolds but it's perfect for a QPP. It's inspired by Ben Mezrich's book "Bringing Down The House", a true story based on six MIT students who as part of the MIT Blackjack Team beat casinos in Las Vegas using card counting techniques in the highly popular game of Blackjack. Notable stars in the film include Jim Sturgess, Kevin Spacey, Kate Bosworth and Laurence Fishburne. If I was forced to rate the film I'd probably give it a 3 on 5.

I have to admit, the film ended up making me inquisitive about Blackjack. Although I've never really had a first hand experience of BJ, I did see my sister play it when she took me to Atlantic City, NJ in 2007. Mini Las Vegas as they call it. To be honest, I found the whole experience a little intimidating. It's a totaly different world out there in the casinos. Blackjack rules are pretty straight forward although they might take some while getting used to. If the film's motive (which it isn't) was to get people to take up the game of blackjack, it's done the trick in my case. Now I just need some people to join in. I reckon it might turn out to be fun.

Hello my Dahhhhlinks,

this is your GlamGirl straight from the casino's of Los Angeles and Las Vegas giving you the latest "Talk of the Town" in Poker Apparel.  I have noticed that there seems to be a serious lack of "style"  when it comes to men playing poker!  There was a time when people used to dress up to gamble, I think men should return to that concept!

I just got back from some of the main Casino's in LA and Vegas over the weekend and did not see any REAL STYLISH apparel!  ..Oh the guys that I saw were winning at BlackJack and Texas Hold 'Em alright, but it would have been more exciting to see men "Dressing the part when playing Poker!  ..I mean, just immagine how good you'd feel with all the compliments that you would get from other people as you enter the casino, win the jackpot and cash in your winnings!  I think men should wear more shirts that reflect the fact that they love to play poker. 

Even the professional gamblers that i've seen on tv could use a "poker player makeover"  It is my mission to start a "NEW" movement to get men to start dressing nicer when playing Texas Hold 'Em or Blackjack, even if you are playing at home with your buddies! ..After all Darling, what good is all that money and success if you don't dress or look the part? 

Until next time, this is your favorite "GLAMGIRL" reporting to you from the GLAMOUROUS Casino's of Las Vegas, Hollywood and Atlantic City!!!!!

Be careful ... I just might see you there!  :)

Kiss Kiss my Dahhhhhlinks
