Free Online Casinos – You Have Got Nothing to Lose

Playing at free online casinos has become par-for-the-course for online gamblers today. You have basically got nothing to lose when you play, but to make the most of this free ride, at least take the time to read terms and conditions. There are hundreds of online casino which offer various opportunities to play free, and any number of reasons why they do this in the first place. Of course, it becomes completely obvious that a free online casino is looking for future business, they are after all businesses, and are not setting themselves up for a loss.

Incentives for new members are by the most part the reason why we play at free online casinos. In essence these incentives are not really free after all, but they do give away a great deal of free money, casino credit, or free time to play. Winnings on free play may be capped and time may be limited. Free bonus bucks are always capped, and come with terms and conditions. Free offers basically depend on the ‘degree’ of free! There are very few casinos out there that offer only free games, but there are also many which offer games in demo mode.

Playing in demo mode is a great way to play free online casino games. It’s a super way to practice, or simply play free, because you enjoy these games, but aren’t really a gambler. However, if you are a gambler and you play in demo mode, remember you could be hugely disappointed because ‘sods law’ always dictates:

  • That when you play free casino games and you play with demo credits, you inevitably land a big win.

This happens to us, nearly every time we try out a new game, but then we write about gambling, and can’t possibly play every single game we try out for real money. Although if we had all the money in the world, we just might!

Taking up a free offer, obviously also has to lead into a possible membership at an online casino site, and it is here that we need to understand that biggest is never best. If an online casino offers thousands in bonus funds, chances are, you will never meet their terms and conditions to clear your casino account. It is for this very reason that all the biggest and best online brand names, don’t offer the biggest bonuses. They understand the concept of fair play. Fair play in this instance also means; that if they give you something for free, they require something in return. The something in return is generally your loyalty.

Loyalty pays for free online casino players; there is definitely no doubt about this. The more a player spends at a site, the more they give back in kind. This means loyalty points, special offers, prize draws and promotions, even freeroll tournaments, free spins and other free games. Never look a gift-horse in the mouth, if an online casino offers you something for free, you really have nothing to lose, but always read terms and conditions and make sure that you agree.

Online Poker – Putting The Baluga Theorem Into Practice On Micro-stakes

Just as with playing poker at the felt in cash games or live tournaments; online poker has its followers and developers of practical and theoretical ways to play this game. There are

no absolutes when we play poker online or off, and the element of surprise is always there to check-raise any player. However, sensible concepts are useful to keep in mind for many players in many situations, and the Baluga Theorem is one of these concepts.

Taking to the felt in micro-stakes games with the Baluga Theorem in your online poker arsenal of guidelines is highly recommended. The theorem was first coined by the player it is named after – Andrew “BalugaWhale” Seidman. Almost five years ago he shared this on the TwoPlusTwo forum and basically he said “when faced with a turn raise, we should ‘strongly’ re-evaluate one pair hands”.

Firstly players in micro-stakes poker games are generally new players learning, irregular players in the game for the fun only, or simply don’t care to move up into higher stakes games, for which more knowledge would be required. This classifies them as “unsophisticated” – no insult intended, this is just the way it is.

Secondly we are all aware that one pair is not all that strong a hand, but it only takes a pair to win, so, we also have to remember that. A top-kicker pair against a single opponent on the turn can get the job done and is generally considered to be a “solid” hand. For some reason micro-stakes players automatically tend to believe that when an opponent raises on the turn, possibly even goes all-in; it is a near certainty that they have got you beat – no matter how confident they were with their hand until that juncture. Believe it, this is normally the case.

The assumption is based on the fact that micro-stakes players don’t generally bluff, they are normally too new to the game to overcome this emotional hurdle; they play a very straightforward game and if they have something good in their hand – they bet or raise. If an opponent is riding your coattails and only raises on the turn; the chances are that something better than a pair has come up.

What is important to remember, is that this theorem is only important at micro-stakes tables, the reason being because of the mind-set of the players who frequent these size poker tables. Seasoned players are a completely different kettle of fish, but it is not the seasoned players who populate micro-stakes tables. A player with more practice and nerve will bluff at the turn raise – of course not every time, but one has to realize the possibility exists.

With a strong hand no opponent has to wait till the turn to raise, they would have started post-flop and been more aggressive pre-flop. What could he have? Almost certainly something better than our players’ pair, so therefore we know it is time to call it a day and fold.
