This is the last post that i will posting up here and share with you guys. Hope your will read it and leave comment to me.Thanks.
Failing to Follow Proven Game Strategies – You will lose consistently if you play on pure guesswork and whims. You must play online casino games by employing strategies that have been mathematically proven to be your best option.
Failing to Familiarize Yourself with the Rules of the Online Casino – Rules and regulations as to play at online casino games can differ from online casino to online casino. You can make mistakes that will result in losses if you don’t know the rules and regulations that govern play at a particular casino.
Failing to Familiarize Yourself with Promotions/Customer Service/Payout Protocol of a Particular Casino – You could lose out by not taking advantage of promotional bonuses offered, such as first-time deposit and loyalty bonuses. You must also be familiar with a site’s customer service policy and payout protocol in order to ensure your rights as a player.
Blaming Others for Your Gambling Misfortunes – You fool no one but yourself when you fail to look in the mirror for the reasons for your losses.
Failing to Try New Games – One of the bigger mistakes that online gamblers make is their failure to try new games. Games grow boring after awhile, and you lose your mental sharpness if you continue to play online casino games of one type.

Analysis of Table Gambling and Online Gambling.
This week i will going to discuss about the analysis of table gambling and online gambling. According the voting from the poll, 62.5 % of respondent thinking that they preferred table gambling while 37.5 % of respondent preferred online gambling.
The reason why the percentage of respondent choosing table gambling is higher compared to online gambling is because they think the atmosphere of playing gambling game on table is much more realistic and excited. They can feel the real feeling of touching the play cards and they can try their luck directly. Another reason of respondent more preferred of table gambling is because the bookie cannot play cheat during the game is playing.
The reason why there are respondent choosing online gambling as their choice is because some of them might playing illegal gambling. They worry that police will catch them for gambling. So they prefer to take the risk for gambling online. Another main reason of choosing online gambling is they can gamble no mattter where they are and as long there is internet is available. They can gamble no matter what game is it. For example: sport games and casino.

Health Advisory on Internet Gambling
The American Psychiatric Association issued a health advisory (January 16, 2001) about Internet gambling. The advisory, from the committee on Treatment Services for Addicted Patients, notes that there has been tremendous growth of gambling opportunities in the last several years. This includes Internet gambling aimed at children and teenagers. Children can link to gambling sites from other game sites, and are lured by free gifts and discounts.
Internet gambling can be more dangerous than other forms of gambling since there are few - if any - regulations as to fairness, and most of the operators are outside the US. These operations are not regulated by state or federal statutes, so there is no control over the types of games available or the ages of the participants. Hackers can manipulate the games, and can gain access to credit card numbers and funds.
As of 2000, there were more than 1,300 online gambling sites with revenues in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Research has shown a correlation between the availability of legal gambling in a state, and the proportion of the state's population who report gambling addiction or lesser problems. In all states, the rates of gambling problems are highest in high school and college-aged young adults. According to the advisory, about 10% to 15% of young people surveyed in the US and Canada report having experienced one or more problems related to gambling. This includes an estimated 1% to 6% who may satisfy the diagnostic criteria for pathological gambling.
Pathological gambling is an addiction-like disorder in which gambling-related behavior leads to damaging personal, family or social consequences. Individuals who have experienced 5 or more of these symptoms are diagnosed with this disorder.
- precocupation with gambling-related thoughts, plans, or activities;
- needing to gamble with increased sums of money to produce the desired excitement;
- reseltessness of irritability when attempting to cut down or stop gambling;
- gambling to escape from problems or relieve feelings of helplessness, anxiety, guilt or depression;
- after losing money gambling, trying to win it back with more gambling;
- lying to conceal gambling activities or their consequences;
- committing illegal acts to finance gambling;
- jeopardizing or losing a significant relationship, job, educational or career opportunity because of gambling;
- relying on bailout money from others to fix a desperate gambling-related financial situation;
- having made repeated unsuccessful attempts to control, cut back or stop gambling.
Problem gambling is the term applied to individuals with some but fewer than five of these symptoms. These individuals are at high risk for developing pathological gambling.
The isolation and timelessness of the Internet means that people can gamble undetected and uninterrupted for long periods. Young people may know nothing about the addictive nature of gambling, and may see it as a harmless pastime - just another cool game on the Net, but one where you might lose a few dollars. If a young person seems to be losing touch with other activities and is becoming increasingly involved with Internet or another form of gambling, they can get help at student health care facilities on their college campus, from mental health professionals, and organized gambling treatment programs.
The APA Advisory notes that the National Gambling Impact Study Commission has called for a ban on Internet gambling, but meanwhile the opportunities for gambling continue to grow at an explosive rate.

3 quick tips to help you play online gambling like a pro
online gambling become more popular nowadays. Some players can win money but some are not. so, this is the best time for me to introduce the three tips that help players to play like a pro.
First, Don't be afraid to commit to the pot. Once you have a really good hand, you should always bet a fairly large amount. You can try to draw players into the hand with slowly increasing bets. If you do a large bet, and a player re-raises you, don't be afraid to call. Players must play with significant of confidence. Confidence on your betting and willing to take chance have the most susccess.
Second, Avoid underbetting the pot. If you just bet a small figure after every turn, then more players wish be inclined to stay in. This increases the chances of person hit cards and beating you. The ideal dissipated scenario for person with a good hand is to bet just enough to support one person in.Or, if it is one on one, bet high enough to scare folk off.
Third, Cognize what to do with a draw. If you have a draw, you have to be really careful.This is mean by you have draw cards, but you need one or more cards so that can win.For example, needing only one more card in order to have a flush is really nice, but many players get over excited. Players sometimes bet extremely high in these instances and then end up losing the hand. It is important to cognize what to do in case of a draw. You should either check or bet small. The only time you should bet high is if you think that the another player makes not have anything.
Above are the three tips that help you play online gambling like a pro. I think there are still alot of methods or tips that help players play like a pro. If anyone know about that, please leave your idea or comment for me. thanks.
