Euro 2008 – Skuad Kroasia untuk pertandingan Wembley Bandar Togel Online

Posted on by Robert Gossett

Ketahui rival Inggris berikutnya

Skuad kotak-kotak – Kebanggaan Kroasia

Manajer Slaven Bilic, mantan bek West Ham dan Everton, biasanya menerapkan sistem 4-4-2 dengan Pletikosa sebagai penjaga gawang, Corluka dan Simunic sebagai bek sayap, Simic dan Robert Kovac sebagai bek tengah, Srna dan Kranjcar sebagai gelandang melebar, Niko Kovac sebagai gelandang bertahan, Luka Modric sebagai gelandang serang, Petric atau Olic sebagai second striker dan Eduardo sebagai striker utama.

Dalam kualifikasi Euro saat ini Kroasia telah menang delapan kali, seri dua kali dan hanya kalah satu pertandingan, pada hari Sabtu dari Makedonia, setelah mengetahui bahwa mereka telah lolos berkat kekalahan Rusia dari Israel. Akan menarik bagi Steve McClaren untuk mengetahui bahwa rival mereka berikutnya tidak pernah kehilangan dua kualifikasi berturut-turut, tetapi sekali lagi hasil imbang di Wembley akan baik-baik saja bagi kedua tim.

Sejak masuk ke kancah internasional pada tahun 1994, Kroasia hanya kalah enam kali dari 67 pertandingan kualifikasi, tidak ada satu pun di kandang. Pria berbaju kotak-kotak merah putih telah mencapai enam dari tujuh kompetisi utama (Euro dan Piala Dunia), dan hanya gagal di Euro 2000 – dengan satu gol Bandar Togel Online!

Just how to get Bitcoin Dice at Street-Fighter FIVE

Posted on by Robert Gossett

Despite being designed for new players, Street Fighter 5 is a difficult game to master. That’s why we’ve come up with a comprehensive guide that will ease you to greatness. Just by reading this, you’ve earned your first Dan. There he is! Great work. It’s not going to be easy. There’s new hardware to master, arcane skills to comprehend and hours of practice to suffer. Think of it like Daniel-san from Karate Kid, painting the house and accidentally learning how to fight. Some things here might seem obtuse, but they’ll stand you in good stead when a Silver-league Zangief is bearing down on you in the final round, thighs glistening and eyes aflame.  And with that vaguely-threatening thought in mind – to the dojo!

Stick or pad?

It’s perhaps the most-asked question on r/streetfighter: should I use a pad or a stick? The answer is an honest-if-unhelpful ‘whatever works best for you’. Many top players use pads. Luffy won EVO 2014 using a PS1 controller, which feels like bringing a flint spear to a shooting party. Truthfully, it doesn’t matter. Practice long enough with a modded Nintendo Power Glove and you’ll still get good enough to pick up a few wins. Whatever you decide, please don’t blame losses on your control method. BrolyLegs fights competitive matches using his face. Remember that when your opponent starts mewling about controller lag.

Block, block, block and block again

You’ve chosen your control method. Now let me introduce you to blocking. Blocking is your faithful gun dog. Blocking is your Doctor Watson. Before you even look at those lovely buttons, you should hold block long into the small hours of the night, just to see how it feels. Familiarise yourself with defending the standard attack of a high jump-in attack followed by low sweep: when you first start, literally everyone will use this. Obviously, blocking is fallible – people will throw you all over the place if all you do is hold back – but you won’t win many matches without it. Study your opponent’s combos, block smartly and counter attack when it’s safe.…

Why Disney Won’t Take Situs Judi Slot Online Terpercaya Bets from Vermont

Posted on by Robert Gossett

The Los Angeles Times broke the story at the end of May 2001: The Walt Disney Co. is backing a pay-to-play online gaming venture.

 

Disney’s partner, Skillgames, was supposed to officially launch its web site, Skillgames.com, in 2001 “amid a multimillion-dollar promotional blitz.” This particular project may have evaporated into the vaporweb. www.skillgames.com no longer exists.

 

But the question remains, is Disney gambling on gambling?

 

Disney executives say, “No.” A visit to the web site in May 2001 showed they are probably right.

 

I was able to register as a Skillgames.com user by paying $25 with my credit card. For a few days I was able to sample the games. (Play was suspended when the site went into its “Beta Launch” and never returned.)

 

Each game cost $1 to play. The prizes ranged from $1 to $500, although it was promised that once in full operation, players might be able to win as much as $1 million.

 

The details are bound to change. Disney does not have experience with gambling and will learn that players who pay $1 to enter a game do not consider a prize of $1 as “winning.”

 

But the interesting question is how can Disney be thinking about operating Situs Judi Slot Online Terpercaya games for money at all?

 

The answer is they plan to offer only games of skill, not of chance. If a game is predominantly skill it is, by definition, not gambling.

 

The trick is to create a game that is both playable and with an outcome that depends more on skill than luck. The law requires that it must be possible for a skillful player to win under normal playing conditions.

 

Of course, with a true game of skill, the first skillful player could break the bank. So Skillgames.com had a maximum win limit. A player who had won an amount equal to a game’s top prize could never play that game again.

 

To prevent compulsive gamblers, or gamers, players were limited to charging no more than $300 per month to …

Omni Player Wins Togel $156k Valentine’s Jackpot

Posted on by Robert Gossett

Jackpot Mania – A player who spent six months playing in the practice mode of Omni Casino & Sportsbook®’s online software won two progressive jackpots totaling US$156,518.90 in his second day playing for real money on February 14, 2002.

The Omni Casino & Sportsbook® player with the Internet handle ‘Mark’ hit a Straight and Royal Flush for $15,220.98 and $137,435.93, respectively, on Spice Island Stud Poker. Mark hit the Royal Flush while waiting to celebrate his earlier Straight Flush won two hours prior.

“After my first stroke of luck I called a friend to share the exciting news; then made dinner reservations for that night,” recalls Mark. “Two hours later, I poured myself a drink and sat at the multi-player Spice Island Poker table. My eyes nearly popped out of my head when I saw the Royal Flush and my account balance over $156k. This was truly a Valentine’s Day I’ll never forget.”

Spice Island contains a progressive jackpot offered by Jackpot Mania, bringing land-based progressive poker action worth a minimum $100,000 to the Internet.

Mark’s win brings the 2002 $100K+ progressive jackpot win count to three, already set to eclipse last year’s mark of ten $100K+ jackpots. In total, more than $5.5 million was awarded on over 17,000 Jackpot Mania wins – averaging over 47 winners daily.

‘ActionS’, a long-time Omni Casino & Sportsbook® player won a $215,544.38 jackpot on a Royal Flush at Omni’s multiplayer Spice Island Poker tables on November 9, 2001, and was the third largest Jackpot Mania prize to date.

Blackjack Togel Online Is Better For The Bettor

Posted on by Robert Gossett

SCOTTSDALE, AZ — Advertising executive Dennis Spivak was just “surfing the net” when he discovered Internet blackjack in the spring of 2000. The thought never occurred to him that he would write a book about it, let alone have his own web site. For more than thirty years, Spivak has owned and actively managed his advertising agency, developing campaigns for hundreds of accounts, including Fortune 500 companies.

An avid blackjack player, he has visited casinos around the world for, coincidentally, the same number of years he’s been in advertising. Unfortunately, he managed to “increase the gross national product” of just about every country he visited. However, after investing money in a variety of online casinos two years ago, he developed a formula that provides players with the opportunity to win at Internet blackjack on a consistent basis, predicated on three factors: (1) following a Chart that determines when to Hit, Stand, Double Down or Split; (2) adhering to a simple betting formula; and (3) taking control of the game away from the casinos.

Spivak points out that by implementing all three factors all the time and utilizing a “hit and run” strategy, a player can win on a consistent basis. That discovery led to the writing and publishing of the book, BlackjackWorldwide.com, followed by the development of an interactive web site of the same name, which was produced by the Scottsdale, Arizona company, Contact Designs. Subtitled, “The Ultimate Guide To Winning A Steady Stream Of Togel Income At The Online Casinos,” the book and web site, are currently being marketed around the world by Spivak, through search engines, targeted email lists and public relations efforts.

Audio tapes, CD-ROMS and live seminars are currently under development, in addition to offers that would translate the book and web site into a variety of languages. Spivak is truly amazed, stating, “I guess that’s why it’s called the World Wide Web. I can’t believe people send emails with questions and comments from all over Europe, Asia, South America and other places you can barely find on a map. I thought the language barrier might …

Credit Card Woes? Alternative IDN Slot Payment Processing to the Rescue

Posted on by Robert Gossett

 

Those trying to use their credit card for wagering at an online casino and sportsbook have certainly noticed problems getting authorization for approval. The problem in most cases is not the individual’s credit line, but changes in the policies of Visa and MasterCard that have rejected the transaction.

 

In some cases, players have attempted to make deposits using up to 4 credit cards and found each was denied. In some cases, a 5th credit card would work.

 

What’s causing the problem? Simple. Visa and MasterCard decided that they do not desire to process gaming transactions. They offered the merchant banks a code to identify the merchant (casino/sportsbook) as a gaming operation. This code is known as “7995.” Its one of the ugliest numbers in the online gaming industry, as it has caused a decline in industry revenues, most operators say it is off by 30% compared to last year.

 

The code is based on the old Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code and identifies the type of business the merchant is engaged in.

 

What happens is an issuing bank (example: Providian Bank) codes the processor of an online casino or sportsbook (the merchant) as 7995. Whenever a Providian Bank based credit card is used from a player and authorization is attempted from that casino, the 7995 code comes up in VISA’s database. Subsequently the approval for the charge is denied. The player tries to use another credit card issued from another bank, attempting to see if that gets through. The player does this until (1) he/she gets the charge accepted and starts to wager, or (2) he/she runs out of credit cards.

 

The 7995 program was first introduced by Visa in late 2001. It was strictly voluntary for the merchant bank to implement. Providian was one of the first to use the system. As they are one of the largest merchant banks, their effect on the gaming industry was felt almost immediately. Other merchant banks soon followed. MasterCard initiated a similar system on May 1, 2002. Most, but not all issuing banks now use the …

Station eyes British neighborhoods

Posted on by Robert Gossett

 

 

 

Las Vegas-based Station Casinos has held exploratory talks with the Gala bingo and casino group about a joint venture to operate small British neighborhood gambling parlors, the British newspaper The Observer reported.

 

Station Casinos executives declined to say whether they’d held talks with Gala, citing corporate policy against discussing potential transactions, but Station Casinos General Counsel Scott Nielson said the report was an exaggeration.

 

“Basically we’ve been in the U.K. on a couple of different occasions working on SunOnline,” he said, referring to the company’s deal to jointly run an Isle of Man-based Internet casino site with Sun International Hotels. “We’ve been looking at all aspects of gaming here, and basically we’ve been looking around.”

 

The Observer report said Station held talks with Gala about running small casino emporiums, which would be allowed in retail spaces larger than 2,000 square feet under new government proposals.

 

Station would provide its neighborhood-gaming expertise while Gala would provide its knowledge of the British gaming market, the report added.

 

The move would mark the locals casino giant’s second overseas venture from its Las Vegas base; the company hopes by September to begin participating in its SunOnline venture.

 

Station announced in March a UFA deal to purchase half of Sun’s already operating Isle Of Man-licensed site.

 

Nevada Gaming Control Board member Scott Scherer said Tuesday he hadn’t heard of Station’s talks with Gala.

 

“It’s a well-regulated environment, but, like all of our licensees, they’d have to make sure to comply with Nevada rules as well as British rules,” Scherer said.

 

The Observer report noted that British problem gambling experts were outraged by the prospect of American casino operators opening small-scale gambling dens in retail shopping districts.

 

University of Nevada, Las Vegas professor and casino-industry expert Bill Thompson said Station shouldn’t pursue a deal to export its neighborhood gaming expertise.

 

“Sending Las Vegas-style locals gaming to England is giving them the worst of Las Vegas,” Thompson said. “It would be awful.

 

“That’s almost as bad as exporting our grocery-store slots.”

Abstract Worlds forthcoming 3D space shoot ’em up Slot Online game

Posted on by Robert Gossett

30 October 1998, UK – Abstract Worlds Ltd, today announced the launch date of its forthcoming 3D space shoot ’em up game, Close Approach.

 

Monday, 23 November 1998 has been set as the date for the launch of the company, it’s first game and the company web site. The UK based Abstract Worlds develops its own PC games and sells them directly to customers via the Internet, removing middlemen and other costs in order to deliver the best possible value to the customer.

 

The company’s first game, Close Approach, is named after the Close Approach tables kept by NASA on asteroids whose orbits bring them in close proximity with the Earth. Set in the year 2100, the aim is to pilot your ship and two probes in 3D space and blast the asteroids out of existence before they collide with the Earth. During judi slot  development, research was undertaken into gravity propulsion, saucer shaped spacecraft and asteroids.

 

Close Approach uses Microsoft’s Direct3D for 3D graphics and DirectSound for 3D spatial sound. The game is available for Pentium class PC’s running Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT. Although not required, a 3D card will greatly enhance the game and all major 3D cards have been tested. As far as Abstract Worlds is aware, this is the first 3D shoot ’em up game developed in Microsoft’s Visual Basic. Despite past misconceptions about VB’s performance as a gaming language, Close Approach proves that it is possible to produce an enjoyable, fast paced action game in VB and Direct3D.

 

A free playable demo of the game is available now, showing three levels. The full version of the game will cost £5 and can be securely purchased and downloaded from the website.

If you are going to publicise Close Approach, we would be grateful if you could advise us in which edition …

The next thing to remember about splitting pairs is that you never split 5’s or 10’s. Once again, the reasons should be rather obvious, you don’t want to split 10’s because 20 is a great hand and you don’t want to split 5’s because 10 is a great hand to draw to. Instead, you would want to double down on that 10, unless the dealer was showing a 10 or an ace as his upcard.

 

2’s, 3’s and 7’s should only be split when the dealer is showing a 2 through 7 as his upcard. Split 4’s only when the dealer has a 5 or 6 as his upcard (remember 5 and 6 are his weakest cards!), 6’s should be split whenever the dealer is showing a 2 through 6 and finally, you should always split 9’s unless the dealer is showing a 7, 10 or ace. The reason you don’t want to split 9’s against a 10 or an ace should be rather obvious, but the reason you don’t want to split them against a 7 is in case the dealer has a 10 as his hole card because in that ease your 18 would beat out his 17.

 

If the casino will not allow you to double down after splitting then you should make the following three changes: For 2’s and 3’s only split them against a 4,5,6 or 7; never split 4’s; and for a pair of 6’s only split them against a 3,4,5 or 6. Everything else should be played the same.

 

Now, let’s take a look at how to play soft hands and remember a soft hand is any hand that contains an ace that can be counted as 1 or 11. For a soft hand of 19 or more you should always stand.

 

For soft 18 against a 2,7 or 8 you should always stand. If the ป๊อกเด้ง ไฮโล dealer shows a 9, 10 or an ace you should always take a hit and for a soft 18 against a 3,4,5 or 6 you should double down, but …

Ligaz11 Review of Sklansky on Poker

Posted on by Robert Gossett

David Sklansky is one of the most well respected poker authors in the world. In my opinion, Sklansky on Poker has been unfairly one of his less popular books, as it contains some of his best writing. This book is well worth study by the aspiring poker student and deserves a wider audience than it has received.

The book is divided into four sections. The first is called “General Concepts”. This is a collection of various essays, most of which were previously published elsewhere. None of these are bad, although one or two are mediocre, but some of them are quite good. For example, the essay entitled “Have a Plan” is the first essay I know of that deals with the question of not betting into a player who will always fold unless they have one beat. Another good essay is “All Errors Are Not Created Equal”, which improved my play considerably all by itself.

The second section is called “Points of Play”. This section deals with specific hands, while the first section covers more universal concepts. “The Protected Pot” and “Saving the Last Bet” are two essays I found especially useful from this section. Of course not all of them are this good, but the quality is generally quite high.

The third section is on tournament play. There is a lot more decent information on tournament play in print today when there was at the time the book as published. Still, the information in this book coupled with those essays found in Mason Malmuth’s Gambling Theory and Other Topics is better than all but a few books. The essay titled “Should You Wait” is the only place I know of where someone has tacked the often asked question about what quality hand one should take a stand with when very short stacked.

The fourth section covers just over half the book, and it’s a mini-book in itself, entitled “Sklansky on Razz”. This is simply the definitive work on Razz, which is seven card stud played ligaz11 for low. With HORSE (one round each of Hold’em, Omaha Hi/Lo, Razz, Stud, …
