We are gently awakened by the sun’s rays at dawn, allowing us to prepare our surfboard to start our day. It’s as beautiful in the sea and more so as the Swedish creators at NetEnt have painted it for us. As good surfers we are, the beach is our home and the waves are our brothers and sisters. While other people lie boredly on a hammock, we prefer to do so and balance on a kind of board that rests on the water and is pushed by the force of the sea. Together we are surfers as a family, a family that loves the sun, the sea and good vibes.

This slot machine takes you back to the California of the 60s, with a clear surf aesthetic and a soundtrack worthy of the Beach Boys, the symbols are the main characters in this story of sun, sea and surf. With their sixties-style swimming costumes and their Californian aesthetic of boys with long hair, boxer shorts and characters with afro hair, the symbols are the protagonists of this story of sun, sea and surf.

The best

• Very good payouts.
• For those of us who don’t have a holiday it makes us feel like we do.
• Sculptural boys and girls in swimming costumes.

The Worst

• Graphics could be improved.

Technical Features

The presentation itself gives us a very positive vibe. We find ourselves in the middle of a beautifully crafted beach, which a slot machine has taken over. Who would have thought it possible? Now we see on the reels of the machine with six men and women in beautiful bikinis and a clear 60’s aesthetic. They seem to be acting like models from a surfing catalogue. Beautiful idea: The symbols of the surfers are a third of the size of the other symbols, sometimes they fill the height of the entire reel, so aesthetically it is original and very visual. We liked this approach from NetEnt, as few slots present the graphics of their main symbols in this way.

You will soon see the wooden signs on the slot machines, located on the sides of the reels. There is a number from 1 to 20. What can this mean then? As an experienced player, you’ll know immediately that it’s about the paylines. NetEnt equips Wild Water with 5 reels and 20 paylines where you can bet up to 10 coins. Multiplied by the 20 paylines gives you a maximum number of 200 coins, the value of which can be up to 10$cents. So we have to make a maximum bet of $20, which is very little, okay, but more for life on the beach also unnecessary more. It’s not about money, but about the way of life.

If you wish, NetEnt also offers you the possibility to play Wild Water, wherever you want, as it is completely mobile and available to play on your mobile devices and Smartphone. The autoplay feature ensures that you can continue uninterrupted with your win, even if you’re distracted by a dolphin or starfish, a very useful feature if you want to win some extra cash, but just want to keep an eye out for bronze on the beach.

Bonuses and Payouts

We know what you can expect from a cool and entertaining game, and you can even earn some benefits. We can, therefore, assure you that even though the betting ranges are low, Wild Water ensures substantial and frequent wins.

One of the best symbols in the game is the wild symbol. Yes, we are referring to the quintessential predator of the sea, the shark, often wrongly portrayed as evil. But, in reality, sharks are not so bad, they even coexist quite well with people and they will play an important role in this game, as they also help you to get wins and take them home. As a wild symbol, it completes a winning combination by substituting for other symbols. Don’t worry though, because you won’t be eating any surfers, we’ve got you well trained.

As for free spins, you will be able to enjoy in Wild Water a lot. You can spin with the surfboard for a few extra rounds when three scatter symbols appear, which in this case is represented by a surfer riding a wave. The good thing: the wild symbol, spread out on the reels and takes you completely to ride a wave. So you can win even more

After all, we all know that high stakes lead to high profits. Wild Water always pays best when you see surfers on the reels. If 5 surfers appear on the reels, there is a win of 20 times what you bet. If this happens, and all 5 different surfers appear, then the bonus jumps to X200 and the win can be up to $4,000!

Choose the right game for your level and pocket

If you are a beginner in the world of poker, we recommend that you first start playing for free.

When you have more practice, start playing for money, but don’t move to a game with higher stakes just because you have won an easier one. It is better to be the best player at an easy table than the loser at a difficult table.

Don’t play if you’re in a bad mood

To play poker, you have to have a clear mind and concentrate on the game. Without any other worries.

So if you’re in a poker game and feel like you’re playing on impulse, it’s best to pause and relax. This will also prevent your opponents from taking advantage of your moment of weakness.

Pay attention to the cards on the table

It is essential to learn to read the possible table plays. Take at least 10 seconds to study the common cards and understand the possible combinations you can link. When you are sure you have studied the possibilities of ladder and colour projects, you will be able to act.

Don’t play all your hands

The typical beginner’s mistake, which also gives you away as a beginner.

You don’t have to play all the hands. In fact, if you do, you’ll only lose more. Be careful and if you get a bad hand, don’t hold on to it in the hope of improving it.

He brags, but only just

Don’t brag just for the sake of bragging. Doing so can be a very effective tool in poker, but only when the risk of getting caught is low.

Modify your game to throw off the scent

To throw off your opponents and prevent them from catching “your game”, you can modify your style of play in the middle of the game. This will give you an advantage over the others, as they won’t know when you’re bluffing.

Don’t follow a hand just because you have money on it

What you’ve already bet on doesn’t belong to you. Always keep this in mind, as another common mistake is to think that if you’ve already put chips in the pot, you have to follow the hand. When you see that you have no chance of winning, the best thing you can do is not to keep betting so as not to lose any more.

Don’t keep matching just to see your opponent’s cards

What does it matter if it was a bluster or if it had a colour scale? If you already know that your hand is not going to win, then walk away. It’s not worth continuing to lose money just to know what cards your opponent has.

Take a break when you need it

Our attention drops every 30 minutes. Don’t be afraid of missing a hand, it’s better to rest when you get overwhelmed or your attention wanders.

Tricks for after the game

Be a humble player and a grateful loser

That’s more like a tip for playing poker: nobody likes to play with a conceited person who likes to show off, nor with bad losers who make a scene.

Polish your game by signing up for free courses

Just because you’re already playing for money doesn’t mean you’re an expert. In poker there are always things to learn and polish: if not, you would always win every hand and is that so? From Tricks and Tricks we recommend that you sign up for one of the online courses available on the internet to perfect your game.

The post 11 Tricks to play and win at Poker first appeared on beachsoccerlnd.com.

There are countless freerolls, and when you sign up to an online poker room, you also get access to other exclusive freerolls.

Basically, freerolls are something like a bonus for the customers of a poker room.

How do you clear your bonus?

There is one thing you need to know. The bonuses you get from an online poker room must first be cleared before the bonus amount is credited to your account.

To release a bonus or part of it, you have to play a certain number of hands for real money. In addition, you only have a fixed number of days (usually 30 or 60) to do so.

Therefore, after making your first deposit, you should try to play as much as possible to release as much of your bonus as possible.

How to find your way around the lobby

In the lobby of an online poker room you will find all the cash game tables and tournaments. At first, this can be a bit much and confusing.

In addition, most poker rooms offer a Quick Start option, which is especially helpful for newcomers. You simply enter the variant, the limit and the number of players, click on “Play now” and you will be seated at the desired table.

Normally, the lobby is divided into Cash Games, Tournaments and Sit & Goes. Under each of these headings you will find several tables, which can be filtered according to your preferences.

Beginners’ tables

Many online poker rooms have beginner tables, which are highly recommended for beginners. You can only play one table, but that doesn’t matter because you are just learning the game. Also, because of this and the slow pace of play, good players stay away from these tables.

Record your results

You should always record your poker results. Fortunately, there are now various tracking software such as Pokertracker or Hold’em Manager that can do this for you.

After a session, you should analyse it with the help of the software. Special attention should be paid to the win rate, the number of flops seen and the Went to Showdown value (WTSD).

There are also numerous online tracking sites that can help you analyse the results.

How can I qualify for live events online?

Many poker players dream of qualifying for a big live tournament online for a few dollars and winning millions, just like Chris Moneymaker did back then.

Nowadays it is easier than ever to qualify for a major tournament online, as all online poker rooms offer satellites, steps and qualifiers.

Multitabling can be very profitable

One of the main differences between online and live poker is that online you can play multiple tables at the same time.

This allows you to play better than average starting hands, which gives you a big advantage as the hand progresses. Therefore, multitabling can be very profitable, given the right approach.

Many online pros therefore play more than eight tables simultaneously.

Loyalty programmes

What many beginners don’t know is that for every hand you play for real money, you earn Player Points, which can be converted into cash or non-cash prizes.

Player Points are a reward for regular and frequent players. They can be exchanged for cash and attractive merchandise, or used as buy-ins for tournaments.

Therefore, they should be used wisely! When you have collected enough points, you can exchange them for great prizes.

In this article we will look at two ways of securing your predictions:

• Double Luck.
• The “Payback if” Bet.

And we will give you the mathematical explanation of both types of predictions so that you can make them manually and scratch on the margin that bookmakers make on your back.

TERMS USED FOR DOUBLE CHANCE

• +1: Win or draw
• +2: Does not lose or loses by 1
• +3: Does not lose or loses by 2

OPTIMISE YOUR WINNINGS BY MANUALLY DOUBLE-ENTERING YOUR DOUBLE CHANCE?

Double chance bookmaker

 With the operator, the hopes of gains would be:

• 1/X: 100*2.08 = 208
• 1/2: 100*1.18 = 118
• X/2: 100*1.10 = 110

Done manually, the hopes of earnings would be:

Formula: Total stake * (odds A * odds B)/(odds A + odds B) = Double chance winnings 

• 1/X: 100*(6.25*3.9)/(6.25+3.9) = 100*2.4014 = 240.14
• 1/2: 100*(6.25*1.57)/(6.25+1.57) = 100*1.2547 = 125.47
• X/2: 100*(3.9*1.57)/(3.9+1.57) = 100*1.1193 = 111.93

It can therefore be seen that the manual winnings are higher than the operator’s winnings (be careful, it sometimes happens that the operator’s double chance is higher than the manual, this is particularly the case during “+2”, i.e. such and such a team wins, draws or loses by 1).

To know the bet on each team in the case of the manual hypothesis, the hope of winning must be divided by the double chance odds:

For the 1/X:

• bet on 1: 240.14/6.25 = 38.42
• put on the X: 240.14/3.9 = 61.58

For the 1/2:

• put on the 1: 125.47/6.25 = 20.08
• put on the 2: 125.47/1.57 = 79.92

For the X/2:

• put on the X: 111.93/3.9 = 28.7
• put on the 2: 111.93/1.57 = 71.3

TERMS USED FOR “REIMBURSED IF” PROGNOSES

ANB: Away no Bet = refunded if away win

DNB: Draw no Bet = refunded if match is drawn

HNB: Home no Bet = reimbursed if you win at home

CONCRETE EXAMPLE

For the match Apollon Limassol – Lyon, here are the odds proposed by a Bookmaker.

We will consider that the bet for this match will be 100 €.

Event odds

Here is an example of what is called a “Draw No Bet”, entitled “Draw No Bet” on your online betting sites.

DNB bookmaker

With the operator, the hopes of gains would be:

• 1 except for a draw: 100*3.50 = 350
• 2 out of a draw: 100*1.14 = 114

Done manually, the hopes of earnings would be:

Formula: (Total stake – (Total stake / odds of the envisaged refund)) * odds of the hypothesis considered = Winnings of the bet reimbursed.

• 1 excluding draw: (100-(100/3.9))*6.25 = 464.74
• 2 except for a draw: (100-(100/3.9))*1.57 = 116.74

It can be seen that the manual winnings are higher than the operator’s proposed winnings also in the case of the refunded bet. But also that the operators do not offer a win-less result at home (HNB) or a win-less result away (ANB).

To know the bet on each team in the case of the manual hypothesis, it is necessary:

Formula: Bet on the hypothesis considered = Total bet – Bet on the refund with Repayment stake = Total stake / Score of the envisaged repayment.

For DNB home victory:

• put on the X: 100/3.9 = 25.64 (13)
• put on 1: 100-25.64 = 74.36

For the victory outside DNB:

• put on the X: 100/3.9 = 25.64
• put on 2: 100-25.64 = 74.36

DEFINITION VARIANCE

The variance is a statistical concept, which makes it possible to calculate the dispersion of the average deviation from the expectation. In other words, assuming you are betting on value bets, the variance in sports betting represents the average difference between your expected and actual winnings.

In sports betting, when you bet, with your average odds, you have an expectation of winnings or at least a balance sheet at equilibrium:

If you bet an average odds of 2, your expectation of not losing is 50% success (assuming you are on a fixed bet).

However, throughout the course of your career, sometimes you will have x% success in one month, sometimes y% in another, sometimes z% in the following month, etc. The curve of your bankroll will therefore oscillate.

These oscillations represent the deviation from your expectations; these oscillations are nothing other than variance. In short, this is behaviour other than a rectilinear progression; at least in the short term.

THE NOTION OF PROBABILITY

Now let’s go back in time and remember your mathematics lessons on probability. If you toss a coin, theoretically you have a 50% chance of winning the coin toss. However, out of a series of 10 throws, you will most likely flip x times heads and x times tails. However, the more you repeat the operation ad infinitum, the more you will tend towards the 50%.

Remember that in the short term, “what should happen will happen, no matter how hard you try to avoid it; what should not happen will not happen, no matter how hard you try to get it”.

PRECONCEIVED IDEAS ON VARIANCE IN SPORTS BETTING

There is only a large volume of forecasts to judge the profitability of a predictor.

Prejudging a series of defeats as well as victories on a small sample to gauge the quality of a Tipster is an erroneous judgement.

There is no indication that it is not in a variance with a phase of downswing or a phase of upswing that characterises the oscillations seen above.

In the picture above, you can observe the variance and its effects (oscillations represented by the up and down phases) on the Club bankroll over a period of 1002 bets.

SMOOTHING THE VARIANCE IN SPORTS BETTING?

None of us will deny that we have never experienced a long series of defeats. Never having lost a bet at the last minute, on a stroke of bad luck or luck?

By an unexpected event such as a red card or an unexpected injury, etc…

A whole list of imponderables, i.e. unpredictable events that cause the meeting to turn upside down. Imponderables at the very source of sport. Let’s not forget that sports betting is first and foremost subject to the vagaries of sport. And this will help us understand what happens next…

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO SMOOTH VARIANCE?

Smoothing variance means minimizing its long-term effects. In the long term, it means obtaining a more or less straight-line progression. This progression can be positive or negative, but it leaves no room for chance. No room for the imponderables!

This is why a sample of at least 500 predictions is evoked to find out if you are a profitable bettor or not. The larger the sample of your predictions, the more the luck factor disappears. This is called variance smoothing.

MAKE VOLUME TO REDUCE THE IMPACT OF VARIANCE ON YOUR RESULTS.

The more volume you make, i.e. the larger the sample of sports bets you have, the closer your actual winnings will be to your expected winnings.

This is not illogical and has been theorised in mathematics by the law of large numbers.

This concept explains that when you repeat the same event based on chance a large number of times, the average of the results obtained tends to come closer to the expectation of the event. 

This is exactly the image of the coin toss that I showed you in the introduction. Your expectation is 50% and the real result will tend towards 50/50 with the greatest possible number of throws. Except that if you only throw the coin 10 times it is possible that you only have 2 times the headstack side… By throwing it 500 times the gap will be reduced.

This implies that the more you tend to judge a balance sheet with as few counted bets as possible, the more you will apply the law of small numbers to which a high variance is subject.

BET FOR BET, THAT’S SILLY… PLAY VALUES BET!

Betting on all events makes no sense. Never forget to give priority to quality over quantity. So bet on the long term by betting only on good values. In an article, we explain the concept of value bet.

If you bet on anything and everything, you will certainly make volume but you will have little chance of being profitable in the long term.

Ask yourself the right question: In poker, do you see a lot of pro players going into battle with a pre-flop “2/8 mismatched”?

In sports betting, do you see a “pro predictor” take a 2 odds when he thinks it should be 4?

Volume + Value Bet = Long Term Gain

IN CONCLUSION

In conclusion, the more consistent your balance sheet, the more you will smooth out your variance in sports betting and you will reduce the luck factor. If your balance sheet is positive after several thousand bets (or even more than half a thousand), it is therefore unlikely that this is due to chance, but rather to a thorough and formal work on the analysis as well as the odds and the chosen bet on your committed bets. As sports betting is subject to significant variance, don’t think short-term.

The notion of variance can help you to overcome so-called bad run periods. If you keep a rigorous balance sheet, you will be better able to accept defeat by relying on your prognosis history. This will allow you to keep your self-confidence and stay focused on your next predictions without giving way to the tilt.

The more numbers you pick, the bigger the prize you compete for in Online Keno. But keep in mind that the more numbers you pick, the more difficult it is for your ticket to win.

Types of cards

To learn how to play Keno correctly, you need to know the types of cards available:

Regular cards

When you play with regular cards, you select the numbers you want to have on the Keno card and wait for them to come up. Normally, you are allowed to bet between 1 and 15 numbers, but some casinos allow you to bet on up to 20 numbers with regular cards.

Combination cards

When you play with different combinations, you link several sets of regular cards in different ways to give you more chances of winning. Each possible combination you want to have will cost you a bet of one unit, a price that in some cases is worth paying for more winning options.

Split cards

When you play a split card, you play two or more games on the same Keno card. You choose two sets of numbers and split them with circles or a line. If you bet $2 per game, the total price for both sets would be $4.

Way cards

When you play with a Way card, you bet on several sets of numbers on the same Keno card, which is the most complex Keno bet. To begin with, you have to decide the number of number combinations in the groups you have chosen to bet on. Then, you have to count the bets placed according to the fractions you place on the right side of the betting field.

To find out the cost of your bet you must add up the numerators. This may seem complicated but it is not usually necessary for you to do the work as the casino staff or the software you use if it is online will help you with the betting.

King Cards

King cards are a variation of Way Cards. The difference is that in this game you select one or more numbers as “King numbers”. The “King numbers” are surrounded by themselves and have a special significance, while the rest of the numbers are surrounded in groups.

Payouts in online Keno

The house edge in online Keno is usually higher than it is in other casino games, so if you want to win money, you need to optimise your playing strategy.

Land-based casinos have fairly low payout amounts, so the payout to the casino is usually between 18% and 35%. In both Video Keno and Online Keno, as they have lower payouts, the prizes that can be offered to winners are higher, with the house edge being approximately 5%.

At we give you the opportunity to play free 3D online roulette, classic European roulette and even the Wheel of Fortune version. But we also recommend online casinos that offer the possibility to play live with a real live dealer.

Live online roulette casinos

Online roulette started in online casinos in the 1990s and soon after, live roulette broadcasts of the game (Live Roulette) were introduced. Due to its success, online casinos tried to mimic the experience of playing roulette in a land-based casino, which led to the emergence of live online games.

That is why most online casinos nowadays have a section called “Live Casino”, “Live Casino” or “Live Games”. All of these games have a physical dealer that the player can talk to during the game. This feature makes the game more authentic.

Live Roulette

The offer of this variant of the game usually differs from casino to casino. For example, Casino offers customised live roulette. This allows Spanish-speaking players, Italian, Polish, French, German and even British players to speak to the dealer in their native language.

Eurogrand Casino Live Roulette

Eurogrand Casino offers three variants of Live Roulette: Live French Roulette, the VIP version (Live VIP Roulette) and the classic mode (Live Roulette).

Live Roulette at Casino

Casino also displays a portfolio of up to 17 live roulettes on its website. Here you can choose from a wide variety, including multiplayer roulette or live French roulette with La Partage, to increase your chances of winning.

Unique Casino Live Roulette

If you really want to see the roulette game before you start playing, we invite you to visit Unique Casino. It offers live games with a demo section for you to take a trip to the casino before you play.

The best live roulette strategies

Being a game of chance, it is advisable to know the rules and best strategies of the game before you start playing online. Therefore if you decide to play live roulette online it is advisable to know the tricks of the game:

Choose a European roulette wheel

Always choose a European roulette wheel and never an American roulette wheel. American roulette has the double zero which means a higher margin for the house (from 2.7% to 5.6%).

The odds are always the same

Do not place your bet based on the number of times the colour red or black has come up previously.

Watch the dealer before choosing a table

Some dealers spin the wheel with the same force, so it is possible that the squares tend to repeat.

Bet on outside bets

For the best odds of winning, place outside bets on the table. These are bets that cover more than one number. The payout is very small but the chances of winning are great.

Never bet on the numbers: 00, 0, 1, 2 and 3.

The numbers with the highest house edge are 00, 0, 1, 2 and 3. Never bet on these numbers as the house edge increases by 7.89%.

Live software providers

There are now many software providers that offer games with real dealers. Software companies such as Playtech, Microgaming and NetEnt offer this type of game.

Live online roulette from Playtech

The software company Playtech has created a wide range of high-definition live games. In the case of roulette, Playtech has created the Double Screen Roulette game. All Playtech live games can be played in a separate VIP area and on iOS or Android mobile devices.

Microgaming Live Online Roulette

Microgaming’s live games stand out due to their high definition and the characterisation of their dealers as PlayBoy characters. This aspect makes the live game much more attractive to the roulette player.

Live online roulette from NetEnt

The NetEnt Software company offers a wide range of live casino games such as blackjack, roulette and the unique Live Common Draw Blackjack. All of them in 25 languages and in high definition quality. NetEnt Live Roulette can be played on a variety of mobile devices.

Unlike other live games, NetEnt Live Roulette offers the player the possibility to watch the game with a full screen showing the dealer or in portrait mode where the camera focuses on the table and the roulette wheel. In addition, the player can place bets even while the roulette wheel is still spinning.

If you have already made your mind up, choose your live casino from the ones below and get your exclusive bonus before you play live roulette.
