Retro Video Game Reviews: Punisher (NES)

Naomi | April 16, 2020April 20, 2020

Overall Rating: 3.5/5 Stars

Whether based on comic book characters, blockbuster movies, television shows, or other medium, license games had a notorious reputation on the 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System. They tended to be of low quality, and were infamous for seeming like they were quickly, shoddily produced just in order to turn a quick profit on a fleetingly popular franchise. Some developers, such as LJN, were even known for specializing in churning out several license games of ill repute, like the comically bad X-Men cartridge or other titles.

However, in late 1990, one of the exceptions was published, after programming work by Beam Software: Punisher, featuring the titular protagonist based on his appearances in Marvel Comics. Punisher is a unique video game that is difficult to plug into a single genre, and actually ends up being very playable, challenging, engaging, and just plain gun-blastingly fun.

Gameplay

The player controls The Punisher, a vigilante superhero who has no qualms with killing people. In fact, his aim is to eradicate crime from the streets, by way of shooting and blowing up every crook and hoodlum in sight, even the occasional ninja, helicopter, tank, nemesis, Jigsaw, door, crate, window, or other target. From the beginning, three initial levels can be chosen, each with three sub-levels to go through, with three other sets of triple stages eventually gained as well.

There may not be another video game on the NES console quite like Punisher, and here is why: The player controls The Punisher character in the foreground, who shoots at characters in the background. The directions used on the directional pad move the cross-hairs cursor all across the screen; but, also, the left and right directions move Punisher himself. This means that the player not only has to aim the weapon to hit the bad guys on the screen, but must also nimbly maneuver Punisher at the same time to avoid incoming rounds. This distinctive blend of high-octane constant adrenaline-pumping action but with constant character awareness and pixel-perfect projectile-dodging creates quite a clip-emptying experience.

Not only can Frank Castle, a.k.a. The Punisher, shoot gangsters and mobsters, but he can also shoot crates, boxes, and other scenery features in order to possibly find icons. Shooting the icon then grants a bonus, such as additional ammo, a new gun that fires at a faster pace, additional health for the health bar, more grenades to use with the B button to inflict lots of damage to a portion of the screen, or other goodies. After each level, the percentage of bad guys killed is tallied up, with enough percentage points granting the player a bonus; for example, killing 95% of the on-screen enemies that appeared gives an extra life, whereas getting 80% will give a boost of health. Every third stage tends to present a boss battle, some of which feature Castle’s enemies from the comic series. There are even hidden bonus rooms to find in some levels, in which bonus items are more commonly prevalent and the player can emerge much stronger and ready for more gun-down carnage.

Graphics

This is actually a fairly slick-lookin’ game. The developers truly use every inch of the 8-bit palette given to them, as the characters are rendered somewhat large and detailed, the background environments appropriately stick to color themes and lend appropriate atmosphere, the game handles several sprites on-screen with minimal flickering or slowdown issues, and there is even some clever interplay, such as the ninja enemies that blend into the shadows between their leaps across the level, which is a brilliant touch. The graphics of this game is just as amazing as the graphics of pkv games. Perhaps, it is one of the reasons why a lot of people are interested in playing this game. An amazing graphics is what it makes it unique and enticing to play.

Sound

The sound is probably the low point of this game, and for two very big reasons: Firstly, because during gameplay, there is no background music; and, secondly, many of the effects, such as the Punisher’s grenade explosions and the gunfire of certain enemies, is understated or rendered at an oddly high pitch. The primary gunfire from the Punisher is satisfying, which is likely the most significant factor, but the title does otherwise leave the player wanting more in the audio department, although the lack of music does give a sort of minimalist focus to the whole affair.

Originality

Punisher is a solid game, with plenty of gun-toting action to pass around. The joys of discovering what background elements can be shot, admiring the developer’s cleverness in the enemy design (check out the intentionally skinny guys that are tough to hit in the body and force the player to go for the head), and the distinctive uniqueness of this title all contribute to it possibly being LJN’s finest effort. Regardless of opinions on the ranking of their library, the Punisher is certainly a game worth giving a chance, and worthy of a respectable three and a half stars out of five.

Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix – a Frank Review

Naomi | April 16, 2020April 19, 2020

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the fifth installment in the popular fantasy action cinematic series based on J.K. Rowlings’s best selling series of novels. This installment is directed by David Yates and was released in middle of 2007. It is currently recognized as the sixth highest grossing film of all time. And has been called the best of the adaptations yet by some reviewers around the world.

The story follows Harry Potter’s adventures at his school Hogwarts and it is his worst year yet. Little Harry is growing up and the world has taken notice. Starting out we jump right into an intense scene where Harry and his cousin are viciously attacked by Dementors where Harry drives them off with a magical defensive charm. The Ministry of Magic moves to have Harry Potter expelled from Hogwarts. Harry learns of a secret organization created by Dumbledore named the Order of the Phoenix. After being taken to their headquarters he learns that political agendas in the world of magic have launched a psy-op campaign to marginalize anyone who believes Voldemort has returned. Harry Potter hits a low point in his life feeling more isolated and alone than he ever has since joining the ranks of the magical community. Harry’s name is cleared for using underage magic outside of school quickly and is allowed to return to Hogwarts however the Ministry of Magic has sent a spy to undermine Dumbledore’s authority at Hogwarts, Dolores Umbridge. Delores is appointed as the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and refuses to teach her students any practical methods of defense against the evils of the world. This leads Harry Potter to form a secret defense group called Dumbledore’s Army. One can very easily see parallels in this movie to real world situations as many of the situations occurring in this movie happen frequently in every government or bureaucratic system. It very much shows the need for regular people to be proactive in their own defense whether the government approves of their actions or not because in some cases the government either are the villain or at the very least misguided.

Over all I give this movie a rating of 10 out of 10. I think the actors have become very comfortable in their roles and talent grows with ever film under their belt. I think this is a great young adults movie that many parents should have few problems allowing older children to watch. It teaches good moral values, the value of friendship, and the value of loyalty and the important of family. It also advises against blind obedience to authority and the value of individual initiative to stand up against the wrongs of the world and try to make a right.. It is deep, dark, and sophisticated and defiantly not for young children. While they may enjoy the action they most probably won’t understand the intricacy’s of the plot that make this such a great movie. I will hold off on telling you any more about the plot to allow you the chance to enjoy the movie for yourself. It is a new movie and probably available at your local video store. If you have never seen it, spend the $10-$15 and pick up a copy. It is well worth the money spent and your family will likely watch it over and over again.

All in all, an enjoyable tour in the magical world where muggles are also found in large numbers and while those who have read the novel will find many important facts missing in the film, quite obvious to cut down the length, it is overall an entertaining flick where Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson have the best performances among the main cast and is a sure try out for Pkv Games.

How to Host the Perfect Poker Theme Party

Naomi | April 7, 2020April 16, 2020

World Poker Tour Party

Texas Hold’em, the new black and the perfect theme idea for your next get together; this is how you can create an informal – or formal, night of fun with your friends and family. This guide will take you through planning the complete poker tournament themed party. The casino party is an ever-growing popular plan, one of the top theme parties, and most requested from party planners everywhere. If you do not know the rules of Texas Hold’em poker then you read about that on buktiqq and improve your game by playing online. This will help you in hosting an effective poker party as well.

Your guests will be appeased with the atmosphere of the party if you incorporate these guidelines, as well as your own touch to the casino glam party! Be sure to have an assortment of beverages available, nonalcoholic for the designated drivers, and for those who feel that they would like to be at the top of their game.

Guest List and Invitations

Your invitations give your party guests the first glimpse into the party that they are to attend! There is such a wide variety of invitations that you could choose to send to your guests that you will not have a problem finding the perfect invitation to suit the theme of your poker soiree. You will find some great poker themed invitations at www.invitationbox.com for as little as $1.20 per invitation. A great party starts with a great invitation. Be sure to include the tournament, and game information on the invitation, as well as the amount of money that they are able to “buy-in” to each of the games with.

Your guest list will determine the amount and the magnitude of the games that you are going to offer at your party. If you are going to play poker in true Texas Holdem style than you will have to determine the number of people that are going to invite to the party. Each table may have between 6-10 people, who are playing the game. If you opt to have a poker dealer for each of these tables than you should be able to find a local dealer in the yellow pages, or with a quick search on the internet. If you phone your local casino, they may be able to point you in the right direction to find someone who can be of service to you.

As well as the dealer, you could use a bartender or any other entertainment that may occupy the guests who choose not to play poker. Nothing will give it more of an authentic feel than if you have some legitimate casino dealers at your party, but, if you are unable to find authentic casino dealers than you may consider hiring students, or acquaintances and have them dress in simple uniform with a white shirt, and a black-tie. It would be more cost-efficient to find workers for the evening, who are students or amateurs. You might want to consider bringing in a couple of people for the evening to fetch snacks for the poker players who are unable to leave their table. Ensuring that you have the staff in tow, you could make this event a night to remember, and a party that your guests will look forward to attending in the future.

Games

Ideally, the guests that you are inviting to the party will be aware of the rules of Texas Holdem – If they are not then it might be a good idea to send out an informational publication about the rules of the game with the invitation. This will ensure that all of the guests arrive at the party with a clear understanding of the concept, and will save time when creating the first tables and explaining the rules.

To create the first tables, you could draw the names, or let the guests sit where they would prefer, but it would create more conversation to design placards possibly on cards themselves to stay within the theme.

You are going to have to make the decision to play in the style of a tournament, or if the players are able to buy out of the game when they feel that they are finished playing.

Food and Drink

Create a stir with your drinks and make it a night to remember with a signature drink created for your special event. You may choose to name it for the guest of honor, or you may choose to adhere to your color and design scheme. You could see a mixologist to custom create this drink, or you could attempt to create this cocktail on your own and make it a unique and special commemoration of the event.

You may choose to have food and drinks served at your party that will be easy to eat while your guests are playing poker. Some ideas for these are canapés, Boneless Seasoned chicken, veggie trays, mini portions of salad, fruit trays, crackers, and cheese. The issue that we run into is that we want simple finger foods but we are going to try and avoid eating with our hands. To avoid the problem of the chips, and the cards becoming sticky – you could use mini forks, and sticks to make the food card player-friendly.

Favors

There are some very great favor ideas that I have found on the popular auction site, www.ebay.com – There are poker chips that you can customize with the event information that come in standard casino weights an assortment of different colors like the standard blue, black and red ranging from orange to pink and purple. You may consider mingling these with the casino chips that you intend to use for the games at your party, as well as scatter them around the area you choose to place the appetizers and beverages.

The casino chips could be given out as favors or could also be designated to be used within the games, for a Hollywood flair have the guest or guests of honor autograph the chips to be given to the guests at the end of the night.

You may also choose to have one-ounce shot glasses engraved with the date, the event and the guest or guests of honor. If it seems that you are catering to a younger crowd than this might be more of a popular memento.

You may consider matchbooks, they are inexpensive and can be used as small favors to be placed on the tables in the colors of your theme. You could choose a color to complement the décor of your party, so the guests will have something to remember the event with – besides the great memories that the event will create!

Décor and Theme

Your décor is going to be very important in the theme that you wish to convey with your party. There comes a time within your planning that you must decide whether to make it a formal, casino affair, or a more informal poker tournament. Regardless of your choice, you will want to make a note on the invitation regarding the formality of the event, as well; this will be conveyed in the formality of the invitation.

You may choose the following elements to be cohesive with your theme: napkins, favors, linens, invitations, banners or signs, as well as tableware and glassware, used.

Venue

You may want to take into consideration the size of the guest list when taking into consideration the venue for your event. You could choose to keep it intimate with a medium-size guest list of about 12-25 and have it within your home. You may want to check with your local event rentals company to learn about table rentals, as well as equipment that you may require.

Well, you have the information to create a great gambling Granada! If you incorporate all of these elements, with the guests and the venue then you should be able to create the perfect poker party, one that your guests will be speaking of for months to come!

Want More from Your Las Vegas Casino Host? Be Nice!

Naomi | March 30, 2020April 8, 2020

Every year, tens of thousands of people use Las Vegas casino hosts to get special treatment from the casino properties that they stay at. There is an old adage that states that people will go the extra mile for someone that they like. It is sad to say that many of the people that use Las Vegas casino hosts do not realize that this adage could pertain to the relationship that they have with their host.

Over the years, I have dealt with many Las Vegas casino hosts. I have always found that I have been privy to higher comps then usual for my level of play simply by being respectful and polite to my casino host. I have always made it a point to be as courteous to my Las Vegas casino host, as he or she is to me. Moreover, I also prefer 카지노 사이트 쿠폰 which is a much better and more convenient alternative to all this.

I have heard and seen, horror stories that deal with how some Las Vegas have been treated. I have seen them yelled at, spoken down to, and even pushed by the patrons that they are trying to accommodate. A few times I have heard about Las Vegas casino hosts that have even been spit upon by their guests.

It used to be that if a patron treated a Las Vegas casino host poorly, the patron would lose the opportunity to be taken care of by a host. In many casinos, though, those days are gone. There are many that make their hosts deal with whatever kind of abuse a hotel patron wants to throw out.

Think about it, if you were a Las Vegas casino host who had two tickets to a major show at your property, but four clients that were interested in, who would you give the tickets to? Most people would answer that the tickets would go to whoever was the most polite to the host.

Another tip that I could give is that you will make your Las Vegas casino much happier if you do not ask for things that they can’t possibly get for you. I wrote an article about the worst things that you can ask a Las Vegas casino host for. You can read that article here.

The job of a Las Vegas casino host can be very taxing. I am sure that the same can be said for casino hosts in Reno, Atlantic City, and in many other cities that have gambling. I can’t really address them since I am familiar with Sin City, not the other locals. Just make sure that the next time you are looking into the face of a Las Vegas casino host, you are doing it with a smile on your face.

Professional Blackjack: 6 Of The Most Exciting And Unusual Plays

Naomi | March 19, 2020April 17, 2020

To most people, casino Blackjack is a game of “luck.” They play by hunches and prefer to go on believing the game only involves chance. This, of course, is untrue, and I explained this in my article, “Can You Make Money Consistently by Playing Blackjack?” I urge people to read this article before continuing (by simply clicking on 먹튀검증). This way you can improve your game and learn more about the ways through which you can improve your card sense and increase your chances of winning any game that you play.

During the years I played Blackjack professionally, I made many out-of-the-ordinary plays, many times to the shock and horror of other players. Here are the most common ones:

Hitting A7 vs. a 9 or a 10

It’s pronounced “Ace-7” by professionals, or you could say “soft 18.” This is a part of basic strategy and you will come out further ahead in the long run by hitting as opposed to standing. The other players will often not be able to understand why you’re doing this, and unknowledgeable dealers may also question you. If they had any understanding of the game at all, however, they would know this is the correct play because it’s a part of a simple Basic Strategy.

Taking Insurance With Bad Hands

This is another instance where players are greatly confused. They erroneously believe that there are “good hands worth insuring” and “bad hands not worth insuring.” The quality of the hand (cards you hold) has nothing, whatsoever to do with the decision on whether or not to take insurance. The rule is: If you are not counting cards, never take insurance at all, because the odds are against you winning, regardless of your hand. If you are counting cards (involving skill that is legal) and have knowledge of the remaining cards in the deck, there are times when it’s definitely advantageous to take insurance. Again, however, it has nothing to do with the cards you have or the quality of your hand.

Hitting a “Stiff” Against Small Cards

A “stiff” is a bad hand, such as a 12 through 16, where you will need to know whether to draw or stand. If playing a basic strategy, there is no decision. You simply follow the rule on whether to hit or stand, depending on the dealer’s up-card. If the dealer is showing a small card the rule is to stand most, but not all of the time.

If counting cards, however, there are times when bad hands should be hit because you have knowledge that there is an abundance of small cards remaining in the deck. Once, I was playing at a table with high rollers in a heated game and knew the deck was extremely loaded with small cards. I actually hit a hard 17 and caught a 4, amazing everyone to the point they shouted out in disbelief.

Soft Doubling

This play may not be so unusual to some people, but it is often not known when to do it properly. It involves “soft hands,” which are hands that have an ace and another card. The ace may be counted as “1” or “11,” thus giving it a double value. When doubling on such a hand, one may either improve the hand by acquiring advantageous cards or by the dealer breaking.

Basic Strategy specifies when soft doubling should be done, and card counting will provide more opportunities.

Surrendering Certain Hands

Many players are oblivious to the fact that many casinos, especially on the Las Vegas Strip offer “Surrender,” meaning that you may surrender your first two cards by giving up half your bet. There are basic strategy rules for surrender, but most benefits can be derived when counting cards and having knowledge of the remaining cards. This seems very unusual to many players, simply because they’re completely unaware the rule exists.

Splitting Tens

Spitting tens is by far the most controversial move that can be executed by a Blackjack player. Other people may become angry because they believe it is a “turkey” play that will somehow jinx the entire table. They are somewhat correct, believing it to be a bad play.

Spitting tens is horrible for anyone who is not counting cards. However, if a card counter knows the deck has a very large number of tens remaining, the play is both correct and bold. I have played hands involving 10 splits up to three and four times when I’ve known the count is very high. Not only do you have a chance of catching tens or aces on the tens you split, but when the dealer has a small card showing, there’s a strong chance he’ll break.

As I explained in “Can You Make Money Consistently by Playing Blackjack?” I do not encourage people to become involved in the game. There are better, more constructive ways to make a profit that involves a work ethic. From a practical point of view, playing conditions have largely deteriorated, which has made things more difficult. I explained this in my previous article, as well.

Imperial Palace Poker Room Features Some of Las Vegas’ Weakest Players

Naomi | March 13, 2020March 18, 2020

With every other casino in Las Vegas catching the modern trend and moving its services into the 21st century, there is one casino that seems content to stay in the 1970s. At the Imperial Palace, the poker room looks like something that you might see in an old movie about Las Vegas. Though old, smoky, dark, and pretty dull, this poker room did have some quality play. Amazingly, they seem to attract a nice influx of young and old players. The nice poker room rate was what lured me in. If only they could update the amenities, the place could be one of Las Vegas’ finest establishments. Still, it made for some good times at the tables.

All the poker players that are interested in trying the Imperial Palace Poker Room, should hone their skills at agen dominoqq first. Here they can improve their card sense and can learn more about the way they can bet in order to win and minimize theirs loses. Moreover, as a player, you can get in touch with other professional players and learn from them.

Much of the dark atmosphere has to do with this poker room’s location. It was moved last year and now sits near the main entrance to the casino. This means that the ambiance from the old-time casino rubs off on the poker room. Keeping with the ultra-retroactive theme, this poker room seems numb to the fact that television quality has improved. They have televisions, but not the flat, plasma type that you could enjoy at many places on the Strip.

If it’s so retro, then why would I tell you to go there? The answer is simple. The players there are just terrible. This is because they come into the poker room before they venture into the main casino. The majority of these players have never played poker before and it really shows. Sometimes, the play can be so weak that advanced players have a hard time winning. The sheer ineptitude of the players at this poker room is often time hard to compensate for. This is why many of the really big sharks stay away from the Imperial Palace. If you are an average player looking to make some money, it is right up your alley, though. Stick to the $1/$2 no-limit game and perhaps deviate into the $2/$4 limit game in order to capitalize for the most cash.

The cocktail waitresses at the Imperial Palace are another reason to keep coming back for more. They look good and they serve drinks that are better than their looks. I was never without a drink when I needed one. Since they moved their poker room, this part of their service has improved dramatically. While the Imperial Palace doesn’t serve the top-shelf liquor of the Bellagio or Wynn, they do make some pretty good drinks.

If you are looking for some of the weakest players in all of Las Vegas, then head to the Imperial Palace. If you play a solid game and don’t outthink yourself, it’s an easy room to dominate.

World Series Of Poker Participation, Prize Down

Naomi | March 9, 2020March 20, 2020

The top prize at the World Series of Poker will be much less than last year’s record setting amount. This year’s prize, estimated at between $8.25 and $8.75 million will be over $3 million less than what last year’s winner, Jamie Gold, took home after he won the event. Gold received a prize of $12 million for his victory.

Last year there were a record 8,773 participants in the main event. This year the total has dropped to only 6,358 players.

There are several reasons being cited for the decline in participation in poker’s biggest annual event. The biggest reason for the decline is attributed to President Bush signing new restrictions on internet gambling into law earlier this year. The capital involved in playing of the Pkv Games server will be less and the amount of the prize will be good. The following of the specific tricks will be beneficial for the players.

President Bush signed into law new restrictions on how internet gamblers could fund their online accounts. Since lawmakers could not go after offshore casinos themselves, they made it very hard for US players to put money into their accounts by punishing financial institutions who allowed for their means to be used to fund accounts. Most

Because of the restrictions on internet gambling there will be no free entries into the World Series of Poker sponsored by online poker sites. Tournaments for free seats at the WSOP have been a very popular method of advertising for online poker rooms and the last three winners, Jamie Gold (Bodog), Greg Raymer (Poker Stars) and Chris Moneymaker (Poker Stars, were all sponsored by online poker rooms.

With no free seats available that means that all of the players entering the tournament have to pay the $10,000 entry fee from their own pocket. Last year only about half of the field paid the entry fee from their own pocket and the rest were sponsored through online casinos and other contests.

In other WSOP news a few of the notable names in this year’s tournament have already been knocked out of the main event. With the first four days of qualifying play names like Johnny Chan, Doyle Brunson, Phil Helmuth, Phil Ivey, 2004 champion Greg Raymer and last year’s champion Jamie Gold will not make it out of the qualifiers.

Of the 4,569 players that started the tournament on the first three days of qualifying, only 1,698 remain in the running. 1,780 players entered on the fourth and final day of qualifying. The 1,698 players who made it out of the first three days and the players who survive the fourth day will play in two rounds on Tuesday and Wednesday before the final push for the final table begins.

Nine players will make it to the final table on July 17th to determine to 2007 World Series of Poker Main Event Champion, the most coveted title in poker.

Control Your Betting Habits With Effective Money Management

Naomi | March 9, 2020March 20, 2020

Piling up losses like the weekly trash is not a part of the savvy bettors repertoire. In betting game after game over a daily basis, bettors must exercise caution and conduct the proper research to gain the best probability of winning – whether it be shifting through piles of papers with statistical data charts for the betting enthusiasts, surfing the web for effective betting strategy, and a whole lot more. However, the single most important aspect of smart and savvy gambling/betting is to maintain a solid ground money management program.

The absence of money management skills is the No.1 reason why bettors lose their bets. For starters, many of them do not conduct the necessary research in choosing the best wager. Sadly, many novice bettors follow poor advice by 1) betting on the hometown team regardless of matchup logistics, 2) taking poor advice from scamdicappers, and 3) rush quickly towards making the quick bet with seconds to go before gametime. Because many novice bettors act with such haste, they tend to throw their money around. When amateur bettors see their ┬¿surefire┬¿ lock bet, they tend to dump their entire bankroll on the game. This is a Grade A mistake. As a rule of thumb, bettors should never put up more than 5% of their bankroll on any given game.

Discipline is the name of the game when it comes to betting. Although betting 5% of your bankroll might not seem like much to you, it will go a long way towards establishing a sound level of discipline. Even if the lowly Charlotte Bobcats go up against the San Antonio Spurs on a Spurs -1 spread, you must still remain calm and refuse to risk half your bankroll. By putting up 3-5% of your bankroll in each game, you will earn a steady income over the course of time – even if you only win half of your total games. Besides, betting on sports is all about winning and losing streaks. A losing streak of 8 consecutive games can come at speeding bullet speeds – blowing a hole to your bank account entirely, potentially knocking you out for the season. By betting in ┬¿bits and pieces,┬¿ you can avoid this downfall. You should also be able to manage your addiction in playing Pkv Games. Your control should start at simple and small things to help you have progress on it.

Hot streaks can also be considered cold streaks to your money. Hot streaks tend to force bettors to ┬¿up┬¿ their individual bets, thinking their run of luck is going to continue. Low and behold, you lose the next 3 games and you┬┤re back to where you originally started. Exercise some disciple when it comes to managing your money. The Charlotte Bobcats can beat the Phoenix Suns on any given night. In sports, no game is ever a lock. Bettors playing the game blindly is the sole reason why you see many disgruntled gamblers and complaints coming in like clockwock clouding betting message boards. Betting on sports is mostly money management and not the types of ┬¿smart picks┬¿ you make day in and day out. Remember, you can lose money even while you┬┤re winning by betting the jackpot on surefire games that lose and betting small on games you┬┤ve won. Avoid the plight of countless clueless bettors out there and stay on top of your game with effective money management.

Sports Betting A Moral Issue?

Naomi | February 27, 2020March 6, 2020

Apparently a lot of people have a problem when it comes to sports betting. It’s looked upon as some sort of immoral behavior or immature behavior. Although I believe everyone deserves to have their own opinion on this, I am obligated to express mine.

First and foremost sports betting and stock/forex trading are almost identical. But somehow you don’t feel the same “love” when someone calls you a gambler, compared to when someone says “Oh he is a forex/stock trader”! If you come from a religious family like me, makes you wanna hide your face and always stay in the shadows of what you do and why you do it.

But let me ask you this, how many times have you seen anyone go to a person smoking outside, and tell them “You are a smoker, that’s immoral and wrong”. I doubt you will ever see that, yet cigarettes kill thousands. Add alcohol there as well and you see where I am going with this don’t you. Why and how something like sports betting that will not hurt you physically then be considered immoral and wrong.

My answer is: the problem does not rely in sports betting, but in the majority of people that represent it. When you say the magic word “gambling” the first thing that probably comes to anyone’s mind is some picture of a guy from a movie that’s in a huge debt and wagers every penny he’s got. You never see on the TV the successful,professional bettor do you?

This goes for the forex/stock market as well, back in the days when I was studying a course and learning all about it. Whenever I mentioned in front of family and friend, what I am planning to do, involved with the market, all they could say was “be careful I HEARD you can lose a lot of money”. Notice the word HEARD! I am positive that most people that have negative opinion on this subject, HEARD from somewhere, and then made it their BELIEF.

I am a very mathematical person, and I believe in statistics and analysis. A math hypothesis is defined as : a proposal intended to explain certain facts or observations! What most people that have no idea about sports betting are making here is a hypothesis that “all sports bettors lose money” “all sports bettors gamble” and “sports betting is about luck”.

Now I hope I am not making this too hard to understand, but a hypothesis is considered wrong if there’s even one situation that proves it wrong. Now you can simply search around for professional successful traders and sports bettors! I am sure you will definitely find more than one, thus making that nonsense above totally wrong.

So now that we know that this is a business just like any other, that relies on a lot of work and investments and not just luck, does it seem as an immoral thing to do for living? I guess that up to every one of you to decide. As for me I find it perfectly normal. Society is a funny thing! People can accept something as lethal as drugs,smoking and drinking, but in the same time go all religious and moral over something as sports betting.

People’s opinion is not a fact, always remember that. It’s what it is, just an opinion. Even if this world has never ever seen a successful sports bettors, you can always be the first one!

All you need to do is to put in sincere efforts and hard work to achieve your goals and when the field is as complex and diverse as sports, then get ready to endure taunts and rejections from all sides right from family to distant relatives there is nothing more compelling than both teams to score tips to either keep you going or dash your hopes.
