A Review of Genting Highlands Getaway With Star Cruise

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

On-Board the Super Star Virgo luxury liner

We started our getaway with a cruise on the Superstar Virgo from Singapore to Port Klang. We spent 2 days 1 night on board. We departed Singapore at 10:30pm and reached Port Klang the following afternoon at 3pm.

Our cabin was on the 11th floor without a pothole. We were surprised by the welcome gifts awaiting us on the dressing table. The room was cozy and have comfortable beds that will definitely allow you to have a beautiful night’s rest. The cabin isle is long which shows that its a long ship

The meals onboard were sumptuous. There was a choice of Western, Chinese and Mediterranean, each having a separate restaurant. We tried both the Chinese (for breakfast) tim sum style and Mediterranean (for dinner) buffet style. The breakfast was average but good enough to feel you. The dinner was better, evidenced with us going for a 2nd round to eat our fill. There are other restaurants onboard but you have to pay for them and is not included in the tour package

We toured the ship and used its facilities. Our first stop was the spa pool, hot bath and sauna. This was the first time I visited the hot bath and sauna. It was really hot and I had to open the door to let off some steam… Good thing no one was in it. hahaa. There was a theater for live performance. When there was no performance they would screen a movie. There are 13 floors in all in the ship, when you take the lift, it gives you a breath taking view of the beautiful interior. There are 2 swimming pools, one at the front and another at the rear of the ship. Last but not least we visited the casino. There were many tables for card games, roulette and others. There were many rows of slot machines too. One of the biggest casino on board a ship I have seen thus far.

Heading to Genting Highlands

We arrived Port Klang as scheduled and got off the ship to take the bus ride to Genting HighLands. The bus journey lasted 3 hours. It was like the expressway as there were no traffic lights to stop us. Along the way we got to see the majestic twin Petronas Towers at Kuala Lumpur. After a brief toilet break we started to ascend the hills of Genting HighLands. The road is not as winding as before as there are now 3 lanes going up and down. After an hour we reached the peak and proceeded to First World Hotel . It was already foggy and visibility was poor.

First World Plaza Indoor Theme Park

After dinner, we proceed to the First World Plaza Indoor Theme Park . We were amazed how a theme park could be within a building. As time was limited, we managed to ride only on the:

  1. 4D Motion Master (Fast)
  2. Euro Express (Fast)
  3. Ferris Wheel (Slow)
  4. Funtasy World (Slow)
  5. Reindeer Cruiser (Slow)
  6. Venice Gondola (Slow)

Genting Outdoor Theme Park

The next morning we visited the Genting Outdoor Theme Park. It rainded alittle in the morning, however it stopped. We noticed that some rides have to be paid as it is not included in the entrance fee. We took rides on the following and these are included in the entrance fee:

  1. Boating (Slow)
  2. Bumper Boat (Slow)
  3. Cyclone (Fast)
  4. Dinosaurland (Slow)
  5. Flying Dragon (Moderate fast – Fast)
  6. Grand Prix Fun Kart (Moderate fast – Fast)
  7. Matahari (Slow)
  8. Monorail (Moderate fast)
  9. Pirate Ship (Moderate fast)
  10. Pirate Train (Moderate fast)
  11. Space Shot (Very Fast)
  12. Spinner (Fast)
  13. Super Toboggan (Moderate fast – Fast)

Out of the 13 rides, we had the most adrenalin rush from the Space Shot ride. A word of advise, only ride it with an empty stomach. We left at about 4pm to explore the hotels and casinos

Hotel exploration

We exit from the outdoor theme part main entrance. The shopping path we took connected us to all the hotels like what we have at City Link at City Hall in Singapore. First we visited the Resort Hotel. It looked like it was under some renovation. Next we walked to Genting hotel and then to Highlands hotel . Highlands hotel look the most grandeur.

Casino exploration

We visited the casinos at First World hotel and Genting hotel. We only tried our luck on the jacpot machines and not the card games. It was thrilling and exciting though we did not win anything, its more how long can our $10 last. Haha. Btw, the air of the casinos are filled with smoke and many people tend to light up in there. After dinner we headed back to the jacpot area and later walked back to our hotel to turn in.

Going home

We left Genting at 3pm. It was a 6 hour bus ride back to Singapore. We stopped at Chong Pang Johor Bahru for a light dinner. On the way I noticed that street lamps only appeared when there is a major junction and the rest of the way was mostly dark. Our coach returned by the second link through the Tuas immigration check point which was much faster. We returned home with fond memories of our trip and had the feeling of wanting to stay there longer and not return :D .

Know Your Online Baccarat Rules

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

The great thing about online baccarat rules is that there are very few and that they are extremely easy to learn at the same time. There are two different variations of the baccarat game. These are known as Punto Banco Baccarat and North American Baccarat; however, the rules of play are essentially the same, the player that gets closest to nine, wins. How simple is that right?

Dealing the Cards

Basically, that is it, you try to get closer to nine. The dealer will deal out two cards to both him or herself and the player. If the player or dealer has a total of four or less, a third card will be dealt to the one totaling four or less. As an example, if you, the player are dealt a three and an Ace, your cards will total four and you will get another card.

Winning With Online Baccarat Rules

Now, to win, your cards must total at most nine and have a total of more than the dealer. In other words, if you are dealt a three, an Ace, and a Two, you will have a total of six. If the dealer is dealt a four and an ace, they will have a total of five and you win. However, if you go over nine, you could be in for some trouble.

If you are dealt a three and an ace, which means you get another card, and that third card is an eight, you now have a total of twelve. Remember, the key to the game is to get closest to nine, without going over. Now what happens when you go over nine is that the first digit is now dropped off the total. Therefore, instead of having twelve, you now have two. If the dealer has more than two, but less than nine, the dealer is the winner.

Betting In Online Baccarat Rules

When betting, you have three ways to bet. You can bet on your own winning hand, the banker’s hand, or that you will tie. If you bet on the bank, it is likely that you will be charged a commission rate of 5%, this is because it wins frequently. If there is a tie, which means that each hand has the same exact value, you will receive a payout of 8:1.

Understanding Online Baccarat Rules Card Values

This is fairly simple to learn and master. The cards are super simple to understand. You start with a standard deck of cards; this includes all suits, as well as all face cards. Ace cards are worth one point. Value cards, two through nine are worth their value, in other words, a two is worth two points and so on. For the tens and face cards, these are worth zero points.

As you can see, once you learn the online baccarat rules, you are ready to go. They are not extremely complicated and take little time to master. You will become an expert baccarat player in no time flat.

4 Good Signs To Help You Catch Your Opponent Bluffing During A Poker Game

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

There is nothing more satisfying than catching someone on a bluff. Many people consider it luck, but there are many tells which can help you judge weather your opponent has a hand or is merely chancing his luck. I have outlined 4 good indicators which should help you quickly assess each particular situation.

They have missed on the flop and don’t want to lose control.

If they bet pre-flop from a poor position they will generally have high cards, and the flop hits 2-2-6 , they are probably just trying to keep up the pressure and bluff you out. If it is only the two of you, re-raise them and see what they do. At worst they will figure you on a pair of 6’s

The pot looks tempting.

If everyone folds on the turn with a big pot, you will always get someone willing to bluff. The pot odds are good so expect it. If you have a hand, it’s often worth your while going with it.

They bet on the Flop, checked on the turn.

If there was a flush draw, and it didn’t hit, they are probably just buying a free card. You might consider throwing in a raise and see what they do.

Bet on the flop, bet on the turn, checked on the river.

Again they might have been fishing and missed so if the pot is worth winning throw in a raise.

Now you have 4 good indicators, why not test these at your weekly home game or faceless opponents online?

Free Poker in MA – Get In On The Action

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Some residents of Massachusetts have been enjoying the benefits of improving their poker game and enjoying exciting casino style Texas Hold’Em poker tournaments, all for free. Several leagues have been created at a number of venues in MA and people who enjoy the thrill of the game and meeting new people are taking advantage.

Interested participants may find the locations and times by searching local newspapers, the internet or checking with local restaurants and pubs. The concept for the events and the reason they are no charge is simple. The restaurants and pubs sponsoring the leagues do so on typically slow nights to get people in the door in the hopes they will purchase food and drink. While food and beverage purchases are not obligated, they help keep these free leagues running and provide a win-win situation.

In terms of how a typical event is run, players are given chips and seated in the tournament; the winner gets a gift certificate to the restaurant and points that are good for a variety of other prizes including trips and entries into big tournaments at local casinos like Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun. Tournaments are generally managed by a tournament director (pit boss) who can answer any questions and resolve any rule related disputes.

Many players use these tournaments to improve their existing skills while others use them to simply learn how to play. Whether you are an experienced player or someone who wants to learn you are in for a fun and exciting evening. The night often takes on a very social atmosphere and long term friends are made at many of these tournaments. Players almost all agree that if you like poker but can’t afford to play the big money tournaments on a regular basis this is a great alternative.

Bob McHugh is an avid Texas Hold’em poker player and co-owner of the Northern Poker League a free Texas Hold’em poker club based in Massachusetts that is always looking for new members to come and join the fun and camaraderie.

8 Top Tips For Becoming A Professional Gambler In Horse Racing, Poker And Other Sports

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Most folk are under the belief that professional gamblers have one bet, play one game of poker, or various other form of gambling, and then collect the winnings and go back to their big mansion for a few months rest, before having another gamble!

I pray it was like that, but in legitimate life it is extremely different. I personally work 10-12 hours a day, 360 days a year, and still do a bit on the days off, including Christmas day. When you see professional poker players they are spending 3-5 days at a table in a tournament every week, sometimes sitting for 12 hours, and when they are not doing that, they are at home playing poker on the computer.

So if you are looking for a simple life, do not take up betting as a profession. Yes it can pay well, very well, but you need to put in a lot of work, and it can be 2-3 years before you are making any meaningful money. Anyone who tells you otherwise is possibly lying just to get your money.

When you see tipping advertisers stating things like “We made $26,000 to $100 stakes in the last 12 months”, it looks breathtaking. However, they need to receive your attention as a 1/8th ad in a paper costs around $500, and they need that funds back before turning a profit. And how numerous average gamblers have $100 to bet, especially when you need a betting bank, and with $100 stakes, the cash you need before you even place one bet is around $3,500, any less and you can easily blow it all. Then divide the $26,000 by the $100 to work out how many and various points you make a year, and that is 260, then divide by 52 to see how countless points profit a week, and that comes to 5pts a week. Wow!! If you are just starting off you are likely to only be using a realistic $5, so that is $25 a week average. That may not sound much but you have to learn to walk before you can run. If you cannot profit with 10c bets, how the hell will you profit with $100 bets?

Also think why various tipsters advertise every day. This is because they have such a high turnover; they need to keep replenishing the customer base. This does not always mean the tipster is rubbish, in most cases they may be profitable long term, but the average Joe Punter always wants profit NOW and every day, and average Joe points more than 5 points per week, whereas a full time professional would be happy with that.

If you are going to gamble to profit, then for the first few months this should be your conditioning were you will be doing a lot of work for little return, but you will also learn how to handle losing runs, how to cope with mistakes, and if it does all go improper and you lose the betting bank, you should have learnt a lot from it for as little loss as possible, as you should only ever bet what you can afford to lose, especially while proving to yourself you can profit. You may have a spare $10,000 available, but prove you can profit with a $1000 bank original, and then add to the bank monthly.

So here are the 8 tips you need to learn, and stick to religiously if you want to stand a chance of ever profiting from gaming.

1. Patience: If you want big profits now, try the lottery. Building up you betting banks takes time a lot of time.

2. Betting Banks: If you do not have a betting bank to beginning with, and you are just betting from whatever is in your pocket, you will never make a profit. It is as simple as that. Most punters lie to themselves that they are breaking even. Do not do that, be truthful.

3. Staking: You see betting plans for sale on EBay, most of them may make you a few dollars quickly, but it is 100% guaranteed they will bust your bank as these are designed by amateurs who have no understanding of betting maths in the actual world. Always inception with levels, if you cannot make bankroll with that simple staking plan you will not make bankroll with anything more complicated. Once you have proven over a few months you can turn a profit with level stakes, and then you can switch to each bet being between 1%-3% of the bank. Most professionals will start at 3%, but get it down to 1% as the bank grows.

4. Bank Management: Managing banks is not just staking, it also involves listing every bet on a spreadsheet so you can monitor things like average odds, strike rate, losing runs, etc. If you do not list every bet, you will have no idea where you stand, and no way of having data to look back and learn from.

5. Risk Management: Most people follow one tipster, or one system. This is usually suicide, you do not see the big boys in the city markets investing everything in one stock do you? No. They spread it around, and so should you. Use a number of systems, proven tipsters, method bets, etc. And ensure you have a separate betting bank for each (you can use the same betting account, as the spreadsheets you keep will advise you the amount which is in each bank).

6. Alcohol: NEVER drink while betting, you will bet more than you should, you will bust banks, you will play bets you would never do when sober.

7. Forums: Join a forum where you can percentage ideas, this can prove a huge aid, but make sure it is a decent one, and not full of idiots just spouting off how good they are!

8. Fun Bets: You are often told not to do any ‘fun bets’ if you pray to turn professional, but this will not happen, as it is hard to break old habits at maiden. The best way to treat fun bets is to handle them as you would any pro bets. Separate betting bank, list all bets, and it will not be long before you lose the bank and realize how wonderful your own tipping is!

This advice goes for betting in any country, on horse racing, greyhounds, soccer, NFL, poker, etc.

You can also find countless free horse racing systems, staking systems, poker systems, on the internet, ignore them, they are only free for a reason, as they lose bankroll.

These days it is possible to receive horse racing software, poker software, etc that can help you, they will only make you money if you are already doing so, they just enhance your skills, not make them. Search the web for reviews on every product before parting with any money; ask people on forums which software is the best.
