Sportsbooks

For all of you who like sports betting.  There are several sites such as bovada, bookmaker, and 5dimes.  Now I happen to like 5dimes out of all of those.  I have not had much experience with bookmaker but I can tell you that bovada  is not so easy to follow.  Not only does 5dimes have many ways to fund your account, but it also is the only online sportsbook that allows you to adjust the lines.  Online sports betting has somewhat of a learning curve.  Be sure to do lots of research before you get into it.

My birthday is coming up

I will be travelling to Gulfport, MS.  I will be staying at the Island View Casino because that is where I get my comps.  I will be going back to the Imperial Palace to see what is going on in the poker room.  I am promising myself to hit the slots.  I will keep you guys posted.

Biloxi/Gulfport

I have gotten away from my favorite casino in the Southeast, which was Sams Town in Tunica, MS.  I have now made the Biloxi/Gulfport area casinos my new spot.  I really love the Island View Casino in Gulfport.  In the last year they have added a Beach Hotel on the other side from the casino part.  I can honestly say that they are very generous about their comps and the staff is very friendly.  If you do not get comp rooms the rooms are not that expensive.  I highly suggest if possible that you travel between Sunday and Thursday because it is not as crowded which makes it possible for you to easily maneuver between the table games and slots.

I'M BACK!

I have been on a 3 year hiatus but that doesn't mean that I  have not been playing though.  I am back to inform you on what games are really hot in the casinos these days.  Let's start winning again!

FYI for poker players visiting Tunica, MS

I know that it has been a while since I last posted but after a short hiatus I am back.  On my last visit to Tunica, MS I was shocked to find out that Sam's Town closed its poker room.  I went across the street to the poker room in the Hollywood Casino.  It is dead over there! The best poker room in Tunica, MS right now is the one in the Horseshoe.  Not only are there some good players over there but they have tournaments almost every day of the week.    So check them out.  Good Luck!

7-Card Stud

7-Card Stud is probably the second most popular poker game.  This game is played with up to 8 players

Each player is dealt two hold cards face down.

3rd Street - The next card dealt is placed face up.

1st round of betting - The player who is showing the lowest ranking face-up card.  In the event that players      show cards of similar value the order is determined by the suit.

4th Street - The 4th street cards are dealt face-up.

2nd round of betting - In this round the player with the highest ranking exposed cards begins the betting round.

5th Street - The 5th street cards are dealt face up

3rd round of betting - Same as 2nd betting round

6th Street - The 6th street cards are dealt face up.

4th round of betting - Same as 2nd and 3rd betting rounds

River - The final "River" cards are dealt face down

5th round of betting - This final round of betting proceeds similarly to round 4

Showdown - After the 5th betting round has taken place, it is determine the winner.  The player with the highest ranking five card hand wins the pot.

This game is pretty good.  I recommend this for my die hard hold'em players.  Good Luck!

Sportsbooks

I know that I have been away for a while but I must say that I have been busy venturing out into virgin territory.  I have really started to enjoy sports betting.  At first I was kind of reluctant to participate in this type of gambling because I have never been a big sports fan.  Although sports betting is illegal in most states one in which I currently reside, yet I highly suggest you look into some of the online sportsbooks such as bet us, bovada, and 5dimes.  It may appear to be difficult but trust me it is not.  With a a little research and luck you can be a winner at it.  Good luck!
