Mobile Casino Gambling Trending

Everyone knows that mobile smartphones are hot right now and they aren’t going to be going away anytime soon. That means that any game that you can play on a computer you will be able to play on an iPhone, iPad or Android.

People used to be bored waiting for a bus or traveling in one form or another. Sometimes there are hours to kill and you aren’t near a computer. That’s when being able to place bets from your phone on a casino game would be pretty fun.

Well, people outside of the United States have been doing exactly this for the past year or so. Since the majority of Apps for mobile phones are created in the United States, you would think that it would be possible to place a $5 bet on a hand of blackjack. But, because of the laws of the land, betting on any game from your mobile is not allowed in the US.

32-red-mobile-casino-gamesThat hasn’t stopped the online casinos that are overseas from developing their own mobile casino games. This technology is just in its infancy, so there isn’t a large variety of games like the online casinos have. Right now, the top mobile casinos offer around 20 mobile games as opposed to the 100′s of regular games that they offer for the computer.

This will change as mobile gaming become more popular. Many of the video poker games as well as slots can be reprogrammed to work on mobile smartphones. There are a few casino games that probably wouldn’t translate well to the smaller screen of a mobile device. I think it would be difficult to create a craps game with all of the different bets in a small space. But, other than that, I think that the number of mobile casino games will be doubled or tripled once enough people start playing.

Here is an example of an online casino that offer mobile casino games. The screenshot to the right is the mobile blackjack game offered at 32Red Mobile. This is just one of the 20 games that are offered for your iPhone/iPad/Android and other mobile device.

Here is a list of mobile games that 32Red currently offers: Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, 3 Card Poker, Jacks or Better, Bingo Bonanza, Scratch Card, Keno, Scratch ‘n’ Score, Thunderstruck, Avalon, Mega Moolah, Mermaids Millions, Tomb Raider, Double Magic Slots, Fruit Fiesta, Pub Fruity, Treasure Nile, Major Millions, Dragon’s Fortune and Royal Derby.

Funny Phil Ivey Poker Commercial

I’ve decided to do something radical with my site and I’m actually going to post a couple of the funnier poker commercials that I have seen in the past. Too bad we won’t be seeing any more of these from Full Tilt Poker. It really was one of the best places to play. I like playing in the Rush poker tables for the few months they were available.

If you are still looking for a place to play poker online, I have a couple of suggestions for you. First of all, 5dimes has recently updated their poker software and now feature 3D poker rooms. These have been gaining in popularity over the past couple of months.

Also, I would like for you to check out the BetOnline Poker rooms as well (click sidebar link on the right). This is another place where players have been allowed back. Both of these sites are kind of the “jack of all trades” betting sites. Not only can you play poker, but there is also a full casino complete with live dealers and blackjack tournaments. These two sites are also some of the few that are still accepting betting on sporting events.

Also, you should try Bodog if you haven’t done so already by clicking on the link below. They offer some of the best casino games and poker rooms for bettors in the US, UK and Canada.

Lots of people who play poker often are looking for the best paying slots or like playing blackjack as well. If you like playing blackjack, you should try playing this game online. However, you have to know which online blackjack sites you should play at and this online blackjack guide will help. You will find blackjack played at almost every online casino. The Canadian online casino portal are those who resides within the Canadian borders.

Best Poker Face in the World

I’ll have to admit that this one made laugh a little bit. I had never seen this commercial on TV before. Apparently it had been banned at some point or another. Either way, the US government made sure we would never see another Full Tilt production again.

Full Tilt went into bankruptcy a couple of months back and are no longer a functioning poker room. Of course all of this could change if someone else purchases the brand. If that happens, as I predict it will, then the Full Tilt name will live on.

This can all happen when the US decides to legalize poker. I think that this will happen within the next 2 years, but not before the 2012 election. Full Tilt has spent millions in advertising and will always be a recognized name.

Think about Party Poker. Everyone still knows their name and probably the song as well because of a tv blitz they did back before 2006. They will be poised to be the biggest and best poker room if the US ever gets its head out of its ass.

Of course, with the current state of things and the pace that the government reacts and resolves issues, don’t hold your breath anytime soon. They are just looking to tank the economy so they can get the next president in the door. Then you will see all of the business laws reformed.

Merge Gaming Bad Beat Jackpot over $800K!

Merge Gaming Network (which includes online poker sites like Carbon Poker, Lock Poker, and etc.) bad beat jackpot has reached over $800k. This is very rare for a bad beat jackpot to go on so long without a winner.

Its jackpots like these that change lives and not just the winner of the jackpot but the winner of the hand as well as the other players at the bad beat jackpot table.

How To Win The Bad Beat Jackpot

In order to win the bad beat jackpot you must play at the fixed limit and no limit texas holdem cash game poker tables. If you’re not playing at one of these tables than you can not win the bad best jackpot. You must use both holding cards in order to win the jackpot.

The bad beat jackpot winner must lose with Quad 7s or higher. If you lose a hand like this then you will receive 35% of the bad beat jackpot. 17.5% will go to the winner of the hand and 17.5% will be split among the players dealt into the hand.

So don’t think you can sit out at a lot of bad beat tables and collect some cash once the jackpot is hit at your table. You must be dealt into the hand.

Good luck to everyone at the poker tables on any of the merge gaming network poker sites.

Baltimore Orioles vs. Atlanta Braves Free Prediction & Pick for July 1st, 2011

I’m sure everyone has had one of those games that you look at on paper and it just blows you away with the two teams compared against each other.  This is the Baltimore Orioles vs. Atlanta Braves.  The Orioles are 35-42 this season, while the Braves are 47-35.  The bigger story in this game is the pitching though.  The Orioles put Jeremy Guthrie on the mound who is 3-9 with a 3.93 ERA.  Guthrie has struggled majorly in 4 of the past 5 games, and the Orioles seem to be losing their stride.  The Braves on the other hand, put Jair Jurrjens on the mound, with his 10-3 record and 2.07 ERA this season.  Jurrjens has been consistent, and has only given up more than 2 runs twice, and has never given up more than four runs.  The Braves are at home in this one, and I see it causing quite a few problems for the Baltimore Orioles.

 

Odds and Sports Betting Line

Baltimore Orioles: +159

Atlanta Braves: -169

 

Free Prediction

The Braves have a lot of angles pointing at them in this game, and they also have their home crowd there.  Jurrjens is hitting his stride, and is going to cause a lot of trouble for the Orioles.  On the other side, the Braves have hit the ball well and should score quite a few runs off of Guthrie.

Pick:  Atlanta Braves- 5 Baltimore Orioles- 2

 

Free Pick

While the Braves are favorites, it’s not by an incredibly bad line that’s offered.  The Braves will take this one down convincingly, and Jair Jurrjens will pick up win number 11 as the Braves continue their strong play and push their winning streak to four games in a row.

Pick:  Atlanta Braves -169

Boston Red Sox vs. Philadelphia Phillies Free Prediction & Pick for June 30th, 2011

The Boston Red Sox have had a tough time getting the bats going against the Philadelphia Phillies in their potential World Series match-up in late June.  The Phillies have one of the best pitching rotations in the league, and it has shown against the Red Sox in the form of a 5-0 victory and a 2-1 victory.  Game 3 of this series takes place on Thursday, and features pitcher Cole Hamels (9-4 with a 2.49 ERA) vs. Jon Lester (9-4 3.66 ERA).  While both pitchers have been on their game this season, the real problem is the Red Sox hitting in the past two games.  In their 5-0 loss, the Red Sox had 2 total hits, and in their 2-1 loss, the Red Sox had only 5 hits to go with their 1 run.  In order for the Red Sox to get back in this series, they will have to get their bats going against one of the best pitchers in baseball, Cole Hamels.

 

Odds and Sports Betting Line

Boston Red Sox: +112

Philadelphia Eagles: -122

 

Free Prediction

The Phillies have been on point lately.  While they only scored 2 runs in the last game, it was all they needed.  The Phillies know how to get the job done in games, and I think it’ll be a similar scenario here as the Philadelphia Phillies take down the Boston Red Sox.

Prediction:  Philadelphia Phillies- 3 Boston Red Sox- 1

 

Free Pick

While the odds on this one a pretty close, I don’t see the Red Sox being able to pull one out on the road against one of the best teams in baseball with one of their best pitchers going; especially the way Boston has hit the ball in games 1 and 2.  I’m picking the Philadelphia Phillies

Pick:  Philadelphia Phillies- -122

Los Angeles Angels vs. Washington Nationals Free Prediction & Pick for June 29th, 2011

In an interesting game with two teams who are fighting to push above .500, the Washington Nationals travel to take on the Los Angeles Angels in a night game which features two pitchers who have had up and down seasons.  Dan Haren is pitching for the Los Angeles Angels and is currently 6-5 with a 7-5 with a 3.05 ERA.  Jordan Zimmerman is currently 5-6 with a 2.85 ERA.  As you can tell by those stats, both players have struggled to get run support from their teams when needed.  Haren has been pretty consistent at pretty much keeping his runs between 1 and 3 per game.  His past three games have been on the road, and he should be pretty excited about being back at home.  Zimmerman on the other hand, has been excellent as of late, after struggling to start the year.  The biggest problem for Zimmerman and not being able to win games has been his lack of run support, which has been a downfall of the Nationals throughout the season.  The game is set for 7:05pm ET, and the Washington Nationals are currently 40-39, and the Los Angeles Angels are 40-40.

 

Odds and Sports Betting Line

Washington Nationals: +133

Los Angeles Angels: -143

 

Free Prediction

While Haren has struggled a bit lately, he has to be glad to be back at home.  The Nationals just came to LA from Chicago to continue their road trip, and Wednesday night should be a tough game on them.  I’m taking Dan Haren and the Los Angeles Angels.

Prediction:  Los Angeles Angels- 4 Washington Nationals- 3

 

Free Pick

Since it’s a straight money line pick, it’s a good bet with some solid odds.  You’re going to lose a bit, but the Nationals looked tired in their game against the Angels on Tuesday.  I’m going to pick the Los Angeles Angels here.

Pick:  Los Angeles Angels

San Francisco Giants vs. Chicago Cubs Free Prediction & Pick for June 28th, 2011

The San Francisco Giants have been on fire lately.  They have won 5 in a row and looked impressive consistently.  Their pitchers are pitching well, their hitters are hitting well, even their manager is managing well.  They have a very impressive pitching staff and have recently taken a 1.5 game lead in the National League West over the Diamondbacks.  The Chicago Cubs on the other hand, are in the midst of a rough season, as they are 12 games back in the National League Central.  They have lost four of their last five and are hoping to turn it around at home against the San Francisco Giants.  One big problem for the Cubs though?  They are going up against Ryan Vogelsong.  Vogelsong has been excellent for the Giants this season, posting a 5-1 record with a 1.86 ERA.  Vogelsong started the season as a reliever, but has given up less than 2 runs in 10 total games this season as a starter.  He’ll now take on a Cubs team who has been struggling lately and is going to need some help to turn it around.

 

Odds and Sports Betting Line

San Francisco Giants: -135

Chicago Cubs: +125

 

Free Prediction

While you look for angles in games like these to take the home team, the road team is just too strong to avoid here.  5 game win streak, with one of their top performing pitchers right now, against a team who can’t get anything going.  I’m taking the San Francisco Giants.

Prediction:  San Francisco- 4 Chicago Cubs- 1

 

Free Pick

You’re getting some solid odds here on a strong bet, so it’s definitely worth taking advantage of.  I’m picking the San Francisco Giants and Ryan Vogelsong to take down the Chicago Cubs here.

Free Pick:  San Francisco Giants -135

New York Mets vs. Texas Rangers Free Prediction & Pick for June 25th, 2011

The New York Mets have had an up and down season, with a combination of strong hitting and strong pitching one night, switching over to below average hitting and below average pitching the next night.  The Texas Rangers on the other hand are in first place in their division currently, and have been getting some pretty solid hitting across the board.  Even more importantly, three of their five starting pitchers have an ERA of less than 3.17.  One of those guys is Alexi Ogando.  Ogando has an ERA currently of 2.66, and a 7-2 record.  Out of all of his starts this season, he has had 3 below average games (two of which were AT the New York Yankees), and aside from that he has 11 games where he has given up less than 2 earned runs.  Alexi Ogando takes the mound on Saturday at home against the New York Mets against Jonathan Niese who has a 6-6 record with a 3.70 ERA, but just hasn’t gotten the run support.

 

Odds and Sports Betting Line

New York Mets: +160

Texas Rangers:  -170

 

Free Prediction

The Rangers play well at home with a 22-14 record, and even more importantly than that; Alexi Ogando has been stellar at home as well.  I see the Rangers taking this one down in impressive fashion due to their strong pitching, as well as solid run support from hitters.

Prediction:  Texas Rangers- 4 New York Mets- 2

 

Free Pick

With the prediction comes the pick.  Although the odds of -170 won’t blow you away, you should feel confident in your straight bet on the Texas Rangers.   With a pitcher who is on his game lately, and the average runs over the past 5 games of 4.6; the Rangers are in a great spot here.

Pick:  Texas Rangers -170
