Can anyone explain the betting system of poker?

we are trying to have a friendly game of poker ( amoung friends) using plastic chips. But no one knows the proper rules of betting. Thanks very much.

It depends on the limit. There are several variations:

1. Fixed Limit: Probably the simplest. The amount of betting is fixed and the amount is up to you. Usually it's slightly higher in the later rounds. Generally, you want to make the earlier rounds about 2% of the person's average amount of chips, and the later rounds 4%. So if everyone's playing for $10, a good fixed limit amount is 20/40 cents. When playing fixed limit, there's usually a "cap", or maximum number of bets you can make (usually 3-4) per round. You can play any variation of poker with this limit, but it can get kind of monotonous after awhile.

2. Spread limit: Usually used in stud games. You're allowed to bet within a certain range every round (usually between about 1%-5% of the average amount of money; so in the previous example where everyone has $10, a good spread limit would be 10-50 cents). Again, there's usually a "cap."

3. Pot Limit: Pot limit is often used in games where there's fewer rounds of betting, like 5 card draw or Omaha or Hold Em. In Pot Limit, you're allowed to bet up to the amount in the pot at any time. So, if there's 50 cents in the pot, you can bet up to 50 cents. If someone raises 30 cents and the pot becomes 80 cents, then the next person can raise up to 80 cents when it's his turn. With Pot Limit, there's no cap.

4. No Limit. Similar to Pot Limit (no cap, can bet any time, etc), except anybody can bet any amount (up to what they have in front of them) at any time. By far the most creative form, but also potentially the craziest. If spread or fixed limit are getting boring, I recommend starting with pot.

Some extras:

Check-raising: Legal in casinos and official games, but often not allowed in home games. A check-raise is when a player checks and then raises when another player bets to him. It's a strategical move, and is often not allowed in home games.

All-in: An all-in is when a player puts the remainder of his money/chips in the pot. This situation is a little more complicated, since not all players have the same amount of chips/money at the same time. If one player has fewer chips than the remainder of the players in the hand and puts them into the pot, he is only allowed to win up to whatever he puts in. For instance, let's say we have

Player A ($8)

Player B ($12)

Player C ($20)

If all players were to go all in, Player A could only win up to $24 (His $8, plus $8 from Players B & C). If Player B were to go all in, he could win Player A's $8, and $12 from Player C at most (for a total of $32). Player C could win all of Player A and Player B's money, since he has them "covered" (has more chips/money than they do).

If all players go all in, there are now 2 pots: a main pot and a side pot. The main pot consists of the money that could go to ANY player: that would be $24 (Player A's $8, plus $8 from the other two players). Player A has no money left, but Player B has $4 left and Player C has $12 left. If those two continue to bet, they are now playing for a "side" pot. Since Player A has no money in the side pot, he can't win it, but player B or player C could. So if Player B were to go all in with his remaining $4 and player C were to call him (he can't raise, since there's no more money), the side pot would be $8.

Systems generally don't work. Looking at the right statistics and matchup stats is the best solution. I generally don't recommend looking at stats that are from season's prior to the current. I like the Pirates tonight -1.5 and OVER against the Nationals. The Bucs are swinging HOT bats in the last four games, have their ace on the hill, and are facing one of the worst bullpens in the league.

This Is THE BEST sports betting system EVER !

What is the best financial spread betting system?

Any and none ..

Check out the various offerings and choose the 'best' user interface that suits you.

NB> ALL offer them offer essentially the same odds (although occasionally they might offer slightly different spreads) .. if they didn't you could 'offset' one against the other for a sure 'win' ..

PS It's very easy to loose your entire account betting .. NEVER bet on credit, no matter what they offer you ...

As far as gambling systems go, there's millions of them out there. Since I focus on sports betting, those are the ones I know most....and believe me, they're a dime a dozen.

When it comes to sports betting systems though, there's a few that seem like they're marketed everywhere. However, when you go to their website, they all follow the same "get rich quick" theme. Trust me when I say this, there is no such thing as "get rich quick" (except maybe for the lottery). This goes for any gambling system no matter how intriguing they make it sound.

I've reviewed and recommend a few systems that I think can be an arrow in your sports betting quiver...but trust me, none of them are going to make you rich over night. As someone stated earlier, the biggest key to gambling is having a sound money management system in place. I'm going to say it again just because it's that important...before placing one bet, have a strict money management strategy in place and never stray from it.

I truly believe their are quality sports betting systems out there you can implement into your sports betting philosophy, but they certainly aren't the end all be all as they would claim. Nothing is going to make you rich over night and that's certainly true for sports gambling systems. Betting on sports, just as starting your own business or investing in your 401k, is a long term investment. Best of luck in all of your sports betting endeavors.

Winning NBA Betting System Beat Vegas Lines Everyday

Is the Martingale betting system banned in vegas casinos? Specific to roulette tables.?

Yeah, so I went againt everything you guys just told me and tried it on a casino online and lost $800. Last time I don't listen to you!

Not specifically, but the Casinos do have regulations in place that severely limit the effectiveness of the Martingale system (not that it's all that smart to begin with). Most roulette tables have a minimum and a maximum bet that you are allowed to make, as well as a maximum payout. These three things make the Martingale system nearly impossible to profit from. It only takes a few losses before you run into the table maximum, which blows the central principle of the Martingale system out of the water.

Whether or not there is a max payout depends on the casino I guess, because I have seen some with a max payout as a way to control inside betting. If someone hits a straight up and a split bet (and yes, I've seen people do this) then you can win a lot of money on a single spin, so some roulette tables have a max payout per spin.

Is it legal for U.S. citizens to trade futures on the Irish prediction exchange Intrade.com?

The SAFE Port Act seems to suggest it isn't, or at least that it's illegal for a U.S. bank to fund your account.

Personally, I think that if your state has a prohibition on gambling, then you could be in serious trouble here. You need to do individual state research. There is some federal law which also appears to go against you. The odds are NOT in your favor. There has been no dispositive case law for this exact issue, but similar issues are generally negative.

Yes, if and it's a big IF:
(a) you have enough capital in order to make big enough punts that will earn you more than enough to live comfortably;
(b) you have a trading system that makes more hits than misses;
(c) you have the mental and psychological fortitude to cut losses short when your system tells you are wrong;
(d) you have had many years (at least 5) of experience punting in equities and futures markets and know where you went wrong in your trades.

I can add a lot more to this above list but if you can't give a positive answer to any of the above, then it's NOT POSSIBLE because the odds will be, like bets in the casino, stacked heavily against you.

An ETF is an index fund as it holds a basket of stocks reflecting a particular index or sector. It can be bought or sold at any time during the day on the open market, and typically charges a fairly low amount for the management. Typically you might buy shares in an ETF, and 100 is the round lot multiple which is most easily traded, although many ETFs trade enough shares that you can get lower multiples traded as well. (eg. 83 shares at $12 for about $996). You'll pay a commission for each transaction, the amount varying with the brokerage you do business with.

If you're referring to index fund as a mutual fund which tracks an index, it its price is typically set at the end of the day, and can only be sold or bought at the end of day price. Depending on the company that manages this fund, the expense for doing so are typically higher than that of ETFs. The advantage of a mutual fund is that you may just decide to put, say $1000 into it and they'll divide up the number of shares that represents and you'd get the exact amount. The expenses are hidden and subtracted from the returns the fund generates (as with the ETF).

Trading on Betfair & Bet Angel - Letting your profits run

wat is the difference bet an Exchange traded fund & Mutual fund?

Exchange-traded funds (or ETFs) are open ended mutual funds that can be traded at any time throughout the course of the day. Typically, ETFs try to replicate a stock market index such as the S&P 500 (.INX) or the Hang Seng Index, a market sector such as energy or technology, or a commodity such as gold or petroleum; However, as ETFs proliferated in 2006 from under one hundred in number to almost four hundred by the end of the year, the trend has been away from these simpler index-tracking funds to intellidexes and other proprietary groupings of stocks.

The legal structure and makeup varies around the world, however the major common features include:

An exchange listing and ability to trade continually;
They are index-linked rather than actively managed;
Through dynamic and quantitative strategies, these can be dynamic rather than static indexing strategies
The ability to handle contributions and redemptions on an in-kind basis (typically in large blocks of shares only); and
Their 'value' (but not necessarily the price at which they trade—they can trade at a 'premium' or 'discount' to the 'underlying' assets' value) derives from the value of the 'underlying' assets comprising the fund.
These qualities provide ETFs with some significant advantages compared with traditional open-ended collective investments. The ETF structure allows for a diversified, low cost, low turnover index investment. This appeals to both institutional and retail investors both for long term holding and for selling short and hedging strategies.

A mutual fund is a form of collective investments that pools money from many investors and invests their money in stocks, bonds, short-term money market instruments, and/or other securities.[1] In a mutual fund, the fund manager who is also known as the portfolio manager, trades the fund's underlying securities, realizing capital gains or losses, and collects the dividend or interest income. The investment proceeds are then passed along to the individual investors. The value of a share of the mutual fund, known as the net asset value per share (NAV), is calculated daily based on the total value of the fund divided by the number of shares currently issued and outstanding.

Legally known as an "open-end company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the primary regulatory statute governing investment companies), a mutual fund is one of three basic types of investment companies available in the United States.[2] Outside of the United States (with the exception of Canada, which follows the U.S. model), mutual fund is a generic term for various types of collective investment vehicle. In the United Kingdom and western Europe (including offshore jurisdictions), other forms of collective investment vehicle are prevalent, including unit trusts, open-ended investment companies (OEICs), SICAVs and unitized insurance funds.

In Australia the term "mutual fund" is generally not used; the name "managed fund" is used instead. However, "managed fund" is somewhat generic as the definition of a managed fund in Australia is any vehicle in which investors' money is managed by a third party (NB: usually an investment professional or organization). Most managed funds are open-ended (i.e., there is no established maximum number of shares that can be issued); however, this need not be the case. Additionally the Australian government introduced a compulsory superannuation/pension scheme which, although strictly speaking a managed fund, is rarely identified by this term and is instead called a "superannuation fund" because of its special tax concessions and restrictions on when money invested in it can be accessed.

I use the Omega System.

If your system won't work don't swear at the dealer. Systems just don't work at all. It may at first but in the long run it'll give out. Look up chaos theory and the gamblers ruin for more evidence. Thats how casinos stay in business, the hope of winning more always draws you back to bet more. The only way to win is to walk out on the first wave of winning.

Oh, they DID receive a huge bailout (10 billion dollars!), and they were the main beneficiary of the bailout of AIG (another 12.9 BiLLION!) and I think it's an outrage! The outrage is greater given that the Obama administration made no attempts whatsoever to rein in these companies as they paid millions in bonuses from OUR money. The bailouts and the bonuses show that our government is fully in line with the financial oligarchy. As Andre Damon of wsws.org puts it:

"Executives at Goldman Sachs were told last week that they could expect to receive their highest ever bonuses this year, according to an article published Sunday in London's Observer newspaper. The first half of this year has seen a spectacular rebound for Goldman, and the company's London staff were told they would receive corresponding end-of-year bonuses if, as expected, the bank sets a new profit record.

"These bonuses will be paid for by the American people. Besides receiving over $10 billion in cash from the US government last year, Goldman Sachs was the largest beneficiary of the government bailout of American International Group (AIG), receiving $12.9 billion to cover funds owed to it by the failed insurance giant...."

Betfair betting system - How to make money on exchanges

What scholarship/grant money is available for an Afghani student to attend the American University in Kabul?

I met a young Afghani exchange student a couple years ago when he visited the military base where I was stationed. Even though he lost an arm when an American bomb exploded during a fight with the Taliban, he has nothing but praise for our U.S. military. He said it's a small price to pay to allow his family and country to be free of oppression. Now, he is struggling to make a living for himself and his family (parents and siblings) in the city of Puli Khumri in Afghanistan. He has turned his English language skills and knowledge of computers into an entry-level teaching job. The job pays very little, and he has told me that what he really needs is to get formal education to make enough to help his family survive. The best bet is the American University - Afghanistan (or AUA, as it is called) in Kabul. The cost is $5000 a year, which is way beyond his means. I've been doing what I can, but what he really needs is some sort of scholarship or grant money. Can anyone help me?
