My friend setup a new site got me thinking...

So my friend who is kind of an online entrepreneur type guy and makes a living online from his websites has recently just setup a brand new website ( www.Game-Advertising.com ). It's basically an advertising network that specalizes in the gaming industry for things like online games and arcades etc

On paper to me it looks like a great idea and he's quite well switched on when it comes to this stuff so I have high hopes for him and hope they take off and do really well!

It kind of got me thinking of what I could potentially setup and start trying to make some extra income off myself, I love blogging but unfortunately this blog doesn't pay the bills! haha

I've got a few other friends in the game industry with sites as well so I've tried sending him some business there way but I hope and this is my aim to set something up myself very soon!

So watch this space guys! The new Richard Branson is on his way through! :P

BTD5 Has Been Released!

The Bloons Tower Defense 5 game is a great computer game for children and adults of all ages and you can choose to play this addicting game at work or you and your child can play it together. It is a fun game to play in your spare time, and it can be so addicting that you will not want to give up playing this challenging game.

This game has different levels to choose from such as a beginner, advanced, and playing at an intermediate level. Not only are you able to choose the level you feel the most comfortable playing, but you can also choose whether or not you want to play at an easy, medium, or hard level. If this is your first time playing, you may not want to play at a hard level but you also may want to challenge yourself.

You are able to put different animals in different places around a road like maze but you should only start out using one at a time if you are not familiar with the way the game works. When you first start out, you will only be able to select two or three different animals. Once you go through the first round, you will have more animals to select and place them in different places.

You can place the animals anywhere you want but only on the grass because there will be balloons coming out one after the other on the road. You want to be careful where you place the animals because you are using those animals to pop the balloons. The balloons will continue to go faster as you keep playing and that is where it is going to be more challenging.

As you keep playing the balloons will go all around the road so placing animals all around the roads on the grass will be very beneficial to you because you do not want the balloons to go past the animals without the balloons popping and you will continue to succeed at the game.

When playing the game, try to challenge yourself and pick harder levels because picking the easy levels every time can be boring so you want to liven things up a bit. If you have young children playing, try and encourage them where to put the animals and give your child positive feedback after they successfully place the animals in the spots where the balloons are headed.

Online Pai Gow Poker

Sometimes known as double-hand poker, Pai Gow poker is essentially an offshoot of the Chinese game, Pai Gow. The difference, of course, is that Pai Gow poker is played with cards, whereas the traditional game is played with Chinese dominoes. In terms of the cards, a standard 52-card deck plus a joker will suffice. Up to six players plus a dealer are required to play this game.

In Pai Gow poker, each player tries to form two separate poker hands out of the seven cards they are dealt. Of the two hands, one is to be a five-card hand and the other is to be a two-card hand. Typically, the two-card hand has to always be exceeded by the value of the five-card hand. The only two card hands are pairs and high cards, while the five card one uses standard poker rankings to determine values.

The joker is used as a bug in this game, meaning it can be used to finish a straight or a flush in the five-card hand. If the joker is not part of one of those particular hands, it functions as an ace and can be used as such in the two-card hand.   

Players are betting against the dealer in this game and if both of the player’s hands beat the dealers, the player wins the bet. If only one of the player’s hands beats the dealer, the player pushes. 

This game can be played at online casinos such as 888games. Players can start with a practice round, with no money being risked and then gradually work their way up to real online cash games.            

Freedom From Playing Bingo Online

Bingo has always been a popular game, and time and time again has come top of the list when it comes to favourite group activities.  Traditionally, there are two different types of bingo, which are played in different countries across the world.  The first, 75-ball bingo, is most frequently played in the United States of America.  For this game players are given a 5x5 square card, with a free space usually in the middle of the grid.  The other type of bingo game, 90-ball bingo, is more popular in countries including, the United Kingdom and Australia as well as some parts of South America and Europe.  For this type of bingo, players are given a 9x3 squared grid card.

Both these types of bingo are featured online, and can be played by many different people across the world, whenever they so choose.  One of the most important aspects of bingo is the sense of community that surrounds the game.  Traditionally, this would have been through the interaction between regular players that attended the weekly games at their local hall and socialised between rounds.  Bingo sites have attempted to keep this social aspect of the game, even though the players are not physically in the same room; through chat features that are available as participants play.

Contrary to traditional bingo, players of online bingo games are encouraged to talk throughout the game, and this is one of the reasons it has become such a popular way of playing.  It is thought that around three million people play online bingo in the United Kingdom alone, and that it is one of the most popular individual activities in the country today.  With its development over the internet the game has also seen a difference in the diversity of people that play.  In the past it was often a particular type of older demographic that attended games, but now, with its movement into the modern age of technology, bingo has seen an influx of female players between the ages of 20-25 years.

Rough Time At The Casino Tables

Okay so I have been telling you that I wanted to get more involved in the online casino scene, even my last post told you about how I wanted to reconnect with some of the old boys from school over the PokerStars poker tables but it seems that I have had a bad week at the casino tables this week. 

Now okay I know that a winning streak is going to come to an end at some point, especially when you are dealing with online casinos for real money, but I was shocked to see the crushing form that I was subjected to, something that has left me with little more than my initial investment in my account. 

Things looked rosy when I first joined 888 Casino and I soon began to build a bankroll that I was pleased to show off to friends but it now looks a little less ‘epic’ and more like I have just undone the past two weeks of online casino action that I have spent trying to rack up a hefty chunk of cash.

I’m not completely sure at to the reason behind my alteration in form, I mean I know that playing online casino games does come with risk and probability but playing at the Blackjack tables I like to think that I have a little more control over the outcome than if I was to simply spray my bet across a roulette table.

So keeping in with my usual advice to people that ask me about my former live participation at a number of casinos across the world, I’ve taken a step back from the online casino action for a few days to avoid acting out of desperation to get the funds back.

Seeing almost 75% of your funds clear out in one session is an awful feeling and looking back I should have moved away from the table earlier, but I fell into the mind-set that I could recover my losses, an expensive lesson! 

I’ll head back to the casino tables online this weekend and hopefully the running of the cards will come back into my favour.

Calling all former college friends....

Well after heading out on a night out i met up with a few of my former college friends and it seems that they are still playing poker like the good old days but with me no longer based in Sussex, i have had to come up with a way that we can arrange to meet up and play poker online, for online poker real money.

So having a think about the number of options that would and wouldn't not be open to me it seems that we will have to all sign up to PokerStars as they offer something called a 'home game' where you can arrange to meet up on a regular basis with friends and compete for real money.

Although we could have just tried to all jump onto the same table at the regular online poker sites, there is a huge uncertainty about whether we are actually allowed to do that as we often play more than one game and surely the online poker sites would be wondering why up to five of the same players consistantly appear at the online poker tables together.

So with the safest method now thought out and the increased bonus of being able to play the games with friends when i want as well as playing against other online poker players from across the world when they aren't online, i have finally got the perfect plan!

So guys, as we agreed in town the other week, we can now set up a personal online poker stand off once again and i can go back to hitting those trips on the river card!

Give me a call when you read this and we can get everyone together online and join at the same time so that we can get one under way the same night, lets say that minimum buy in is £50 eh?

The Tale of A Horse Whisper!

Well I have just began to get the horse betting bug after my dad decided that I should spend a little more time with him, something that I thought was going to mean that we would have more days out and a little more time to do what I wanted to do, boy was I wrong.
 

According to my dad I needed to broaden my options for things that I am interested in and when I was told that I was going to be going to the horse races with him I envisioned beer, food and lots of laughs… 

When we got to the race course the place was packed, I mean that there was literally almost nowhere to move while the huge groups of people pushed passed you as they headed to the overpriced bar to get their lips around a plastic cup full of beer that tasted like the beer pumps had been flushed with bleach!

Anyway, that soon stopped when the first race was set to line up so it was then that I began to see my dad in a whole different light, like a man possessed the looked over the form papers tacked to the wall before slowly telling me to whisper the names back to him.

Yeah I know! Strange eh?!

Anyway I did as I was told and how the hell something like that actually gave him a winning horse on his first race, I have no idea but hey I rolled with it and the winnings we given to me for the next round. 

That’s what dads are for!! 

Anyway the bloody whispering of horse names continued and winners kept coming over the finish line, now I’m not saying that I believe that this whole garbage about whispering the horse’s name to my dad did that in any way, shape or form but I couldn’t believe it as winner after winner came in!

Possibly the strangest time that I have had with my dad and I now know that he is crazy as hell when it comes to his horse race days, so I think that I better make plans quickly as he intends to go to the Cheltenham Festival and I know that he will be thinking that I’m going to experience that again?!
