Craps Is the Game of Numbers and Dice Shooting

By Tips & Tricks No Comments

The same as some other games, Craps is the game of numbers and dice shooting. Many players got the habit of trying out their luck without thinking too much. Although, all games depend on luck partially, knowing your numbers and planning bets can get you a long way.

Moreover, Craps involves dice shooting. Although it may not seem that way, there is a pop-science behind that ritual as well. Some of the most prominent connoisseurs of the game gave their opinions on the subject.  Today, among the game basics, we also present the best shooter profile, as described by Frank Scoblete, a well-known casino specialist and book author.

The Numbers 

If you are just getting to know the game, it may be news to you that Craps is a game of eleven numbers (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12).  Numbers and dice shooting are inseparable. The dice itself has six sides displaying six pits (1,2,3,4,5,6).  There, since we have two dice, six sides each, the number of possible combinations is 36. Possible combinations within the eleven numbers are:

2 = 1:1

3 = 2:1, 1:2

4 = 2:2, 3:1, 1:3

5 = 3:2, 2:3, 4:1, 1:4

6 = 3:3, 4:2, 2:4, 5:1, 1:5

7 = 4:3, 3:4, 5:2, 2:5, 6:1, 1:6

8 = 4:4, 5:3, 3:5, 6:2, 2:6

9 = 5:4, 4:5, 6:3, 3:6

10 = 5:5, 6:4, 4:6

11 = 6:5, 5:6

12 = 6:6

The Bets

When placing bets, a player has the aim to lower the so-called “house edge”. The experts say that if a player makes the bet with wrong numbers, the house-edge is increased. Therefore, they advise to try slowing down the game. If a player makes too many quick decisions, the chances are majority of those would be wrong choices.

Each player knows his or her red lines, abilities and skills. Majority of players decides on placing several bets and combining Pass Line bets with two Come bets and/or Place bets. Additionally, adrenaline-driven players prefer “Crazy Crapers” bets, for example. The thing is that with these bets, a player risks a lot. Although, if having luck on his or her side, the amounts that he or she can win are astounding.

In order to prolong the game experience and go for the more reliable style of gambling, the experts say that you should keep less, but steady betting style. The above-mentioned Frank Scoblete even advocates for a single bet. His explanation is interesting. He says:

“If the player makes two of the best bets at craps, the Pass Line and Come bet, and goes on three of them at once, he will face a house edge of 1.41 percent on each of the numbers he bets. So, a $10 bettor’s expectation is to lose around 42 cents. If the player only makes one such bet, his expectation is to lose 14 cents.”

The Ultimate Dice Shooting Style

 Mr. Scoblete differentiated several shooting styles. The Rhythmic Roller (a.k.a. Dice Control, Precision Shooting, Dice Influence) being the most successful one. He claimed that this particular style is not just the physical skill of throwing the dice in a certain manner. It entailed the comprehensive attitude towards the game and a player’s place in it. He also claimed that there are but a few people who are able to master it. In order to describe it more clearly, he derived the list of main elements of this style, as follows:

 

  • Proper setting the dice in a way that encourages certain numbers to appear or in order to reduce the appearance of the seven.
  • Correct gripping of the dice so there is little or no friction when released.
  • Real arc on the dice, which changes depending on the table.
  • True bounce of the dice on the table so there is not too much friction or activity on the dice from a table’s layout or the pyramids at the back wall.
  • Playing at good tables for one’s throw.
  • Proper betting on oneself.
  • Avoidance of all poor bets such as the hardways, the horn, the field, and all place bets except perhaps the six and the eight.
  • Extremely small bets on other players. One small Come or Pass Line bet is recommended.
  • Regular at-home practice.
  • Honesty about your actual skill.

Walmart announced the patents for future stablecoin

Walmart Announced the Patents for Future Stablecoin

By News & more No Comments

Just a few days ago, the giant retail company Walmart announced the patents for future stablecoin. The planned coin will be backed by US dollars. Analysts compare Walmart’s future coin with Facebook’s Libra. They especially stress one of the main features these two coins share. Namely, the ability to operate outside of their native retail scope.

Features of Walmart’s Future Stablecoin

The advantage of any project that Walmart launches is in the fact that it has a large coverage. Walmart reportedly has 11,368 hypermarkets in 27 countries worldwide. Whatever happens in Walmart spreads across the globe.

In its patent filing, Walmart reportedly stated that the creators of their coin would be Robert Cantrell, David Nelms, John O’Brien, and Brian McHale. The abstract states the following:

 “[The] method includes generating one digital currency unit by tying the one digital currency unit to a regular currency; storing information of the one digital currency unit into a block of a blockchain; buying or paying the one digital currency unit.”

As well as:

“The digital currency may be pegged to the US dollar and available for use only at selected retailers or partners. In other embodiments, the digital currency is available for use anywhere. The digital currency can provide a fee-free, or fee-minimal place to store wealth that can be spent, for example, at retailers and, if needed, easily converted to cash.”

The Main Advantage of Walmart’s Stablecoin

Apart from its wide coverage, the planned coin will reportedly offer very low fees. Additionally, that coin should provide for easy conversion to to cash.

Moreover, maybe the main advantage of this future Walmart coin is the fact it would flatter the households with low income. The families that fall under this category often find banking fees too high. This is where the Walmart coin comes in. It offers alternative ways to deal with assets. Furthermore, we should all keep in mind that Walmart provides most of the products every household need on daily basis. If we combine the low fees with available necessities, we get the winning combination.

Furthermore, Walmart’s coin should also pride itself with many other characteristics. Some of them are: “pre-approved biometric credit”, storing the user’s transactions history, or allowing for loyalty points. Additionally, there are predictions that Walmart coin could offer interest on savings accounts. This was sparked by the official announcement stating:

 “The savings can be greater when the customer buys goods that are on their shopping history and are therefore predicted.”

 Behind the Scenes of Stablecoin Announcement

Before announcing the plans to develop the coin, Walmart tried to enter the banking system by opening bank branches. However, many opposed to this and the project failed. The analysts stated that this was Walmart’s attempt to become an industrial loan company. This plan faced massive opposition. On the other hand, a company “Target” managed to get an approval to operate as an industrial loan company.

Nevertheless, Walmart kept its focus on payment processing that spread to supply chain management. Simultaneously, Walmart worked on development of blockchain. Now that the network is ready, the next step is to launch the native currency. Obviously, with a strong brand behind it, the future coin will aim high.

 

Do you trust Walmart to do good with its stablecoin?

The spirit of Inca

The Spirit of Inca

By Lifestyle No Comments

South America is the home to some of the greatest civilizations ever. Incas are the first people that come to mind when talking about this phenomenon. They left traces of highly developed infrastructure and art forms. What they also left behind is the flavor of mystery related to their disappearance. It is not strange that they spark controversy even today. Therefore, they have also inspired game developers who created one of your favorite slots – The Spirit of Inca.

Our game “The Spirit of the Inca” is the progressive one – to honor the grandeur of the associated civilization. Progressive slots have specified terms and we invite you to try them once in a while, when you are feeling audacious.

Basic Historical Data

Historians believe that the Cuzco Valley was first inhabited way back around 4,500 BC. However, the period of flourishment under the Inca rule is set between 1400 and 1533 AD. They eventually spread across entire western part of the South America. From Quito in the north to Santiago in the south. The Inca Empire was the largest empire that America has ever seen.

The Spirit of Inca

Historians claim that the Incas had great respect for the civilizations that lived in the same region before the Incas came. Apparently, the territory around the Wari and Tiwanaku, as well as Titikaka lake were very important to those early settlers. The region remained equally important under the Incas. Places where nature shows itself in all its splendor have always been significant. Inhabitants looked at them as places where gods communicate with ordinary people. Therefore, they had a habit of setting up shrines and performing rituals in naturally enriched places.

Gods, Goddesses and the Rituals

The Incas payed respect to Inti – the Sun god. Inti was the supreme deity. Consequently, there was also Mama Kilya – the Moon goddess. The fact that their supreme deities reflected the two most visible and powerful planets confirms the fact that Incas were nature oriented. Obviously, this did not happen without a reason. They observed and kept alert. They were aware of the natural cycles of change and the renewal of nature. Incas payed special attention to the movements of the sun, moon and they have also been aware of the Milky Way.

In order to survive, they needed to tame the nature to work to their own advantage. That is why they sacrificed both animals and humans hoping to please the gods in order to have the fruitful season. Avoiding natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, droughts was also a plea to the gods. The Incas performed the rituals at places of utmost beauty, such as mountain tops. Furthermore, they also exploited the caves, springs, etc. for their ritual gatherings.

Golden Temple and Shamans

Apart from the golden temple dedicated to Inti, one of the most famous and sacred places was the temple in the honor of the god Pachamac. Incas believed that this god created them, as well as all the plants that they used in daily lives.

Shamans were the ones to perform rituals. Almost every great civilization respected shamans as “representatives” of gods. They were the beings through whom the connection was established. Furthermore, in the Inca civilization, the shaman was also an adviser to the ruler.

The ruler was the only one allowed to sit in the temple of the Sun. This temple, or the famous Coricancha, was the center piece temple in the Inca capital. Historians state that a significant part of the temple was filled with gold. There was also a giant Sun disc which reflected light illuminating the rest of the temple. As we have said earlier, the Incas observed the nature. Therefore, they aligned the disc to illuminate the sacred space during summer solstice.  That type of place was “blessed by the Sun God” and reserved for the ruler.

Magical number 7

Magical Number 7

By Lifestyle No Comments

Magical number 7 is omnipresent. The fact is that people rarely take notice of things and signs surrounding them. However, the world we live in is deeply connected with the meaning of numbers. Moreover, we could say that numbers are embedded in the foundation of our world. In this post we will not tackle the mathematical meaning of the number 7, but the metaphysical one.

The symbolism of Magical Number 7

Number 7 usually symbolizes higher wisdom. Hence, a connection with the universe. Many believe that the meaning of number 7 originates from the biblical interpretation. Nevertheless, symbolism of number 7 expands much wider.

God created the world in 6 days and rested on the 7th day. Therefore, number 7 usually relates to spirituality, the higher dimensions. In a wider sense, number 7 is a “token of mind over matter.”  As such, it strives for perfection.

Furthermore, number 7 symbolizes prosperous life, as well as all things nice. Happiness, renewal of nature, perfected order of all things.  Also, number 7 symbolizes power. This could be the reason why we often relate this number to people and organizations that rule our world.

Magical Number 7 in Ancient Times

Almost every ancient civilization had its own interpretation of number 7. These interpretations vary slightly. It means that there are some universally accepted meanings of number 7. How is that possible? We are talking about people living in very distant places with no acknowledgement of the other. Apparently, the meaning of number 7 imposed itself on people as a logical conclusion of observations of the world that surrounded them.

Magical Number 7 in Ancient Greece

In ancient Greece, the cleverest men in a society were called “The Sages”. According to Plato, the sages achieved the wisdom through time. That is why, a man could not be declared “a sage” before he turned 50. At that age, a sage becomes an adviser.

It is interesting to know that according to Plato, there have been Seven Sages. Namely, Thales of Miletus, Pittacus of Mytilene, Bias of Priene, Solon, Cleobulus of Lindus, Myson of Chen, Chilon of Sparta.  These seven wise men marked the new direction in thinking about the world we live in. What they introduced was the critical thinking, the need to reconsider the widely accepted beliefs and ideas. Basically, they laid the foundation to the concept that we still value highly: critical thinking. To put it even more simply – we are in need of critical minds today.

Therefore, we have 7 sages promoting the change in the way we think, striving for the ultimate goal. That goal was to dispel the illusions, to return our derailed thinking to the right path, to see the big picture and hence – achieve at least some wisdom.

Magical Number 7 in Ancient Rome and Beyond

People in ancient Rome had Seven Liberal Arts forming the proper education system for all men who wanted to be free (grammar, rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, astronomy, music, geometry).

The Romans also had the Seven Hills of Rome: Aventine Hill, Caelian Hill, Capitoline Hill, Esquiline Hill, Palatine Hill, Quirinal Hill, Viminal Hill. These seven hills were the heart of Rome. In reality, Rome was formed when the people in settlements on these hills decided to expand and unite.

Chinese consider the 7th month in a year to be the “Ghost Month”. This is the time when the ghosts from hell roam among the living who forgot to pay their respects to those ghosts. The legend about the “Ghost Month” calls for awakening and realization how bonds should be created. Interestingly, the 7th day of the 7th month in China is the equivalent to Valentine’s Day in the West.

In Judaism, the Menorah features seven branches of Candelabrum.  Also, there are seven days of Sukkot, which is a reminder of the days spent in a desert after escaping from the Egyptian slavery.

Magical Number 7 Today

It is the 21st century and we still consider number 7 to hold a certain symbolic power. The 7 still symbolizes the wisdom, the truth which is often hidden behind the seven veils. Its meaning strives for the underlying ideas. Additionally, it calls for people to dig in deeper and put some effort in order for the truth to reveal itself to them.   The magic of number 7 appears to be in a fact that it forces us to confront the illusions and attain the true wisdom.

Advanced roulette strategies

Advanced Roulette Strategies: The Labouchere System

By Tips & Tricks No Comments

Roulette lovers know that playing roulette is an art and a risk. It is an art in a sense that a player needs to be skilled and have analytical mind in order to boost his chances of winning. What makes it a risk is the fact that each spin of the wheel is unpredictable. However, there are players who are interested in something more than simply trying out their luck. They are always into exploring mathematically based advanced roulette strategies. The Labouchere system is one of such strategies.

The Labouchere System

The Labouchere System originates from the time of Henry Labouchere. He was a British aristocrat and a business entrepreneur who lived in the 19th century. Apparently, Mr. Labouchere liked to play roulette and developed his own strategy. That strategy is mathematically based, similar as the Oscar’s Grinding.

This system is reportedly working. However, in order to win, a player needs to be persistent. Consequently, a player should not be afraid to take some risks, such as raising bets. Advanced roulette strategies are for more skilled players. This is also the thing that makes them more successful.

So, How Does Labouchere Work?

The basic thing a player has to follow when applying the Labouchere system is to set a goal for himself. Then, a player should express the desired winning amount in units. Unit amount can be any amount the player wishes. When a player decides on the value of each unit and hence – the total number of units, he then expresses the value of his goal amount. Value of a unit should be the sum of several smaller positive numbers. For example, if the value of a unit is $10, the number sequence could be: 1 2 3 2 2. As you can see, these numbers add up to 10.

Now, when deciding on the size of a bet, a player adds the first and the last number form a sequence. In this case, a player would bet 3 units, i.e. $30. In case of a win, a player strikes out the first and the last number of a sequence. Then, he continues to bet accordingly.  Once he exhausts all numbers from a sequence, a player achieves the goal.  Every time a player loses, he adds one number to the sequence line.

Crossing out 2 numbers for every win and adding one number for every loss, means that a player wins one third of a time. In the long run, the predictions are that a player will win more than one third of the time. Nevertheless, all players should know the downside to this system is that losses eventually cost money. On the other side, the bets tend to get quite large.  The main trick in using this system is to keep betting in order to get back on track.
