Our Favourite Methods of Gambling
A lot of us don't class ourselves as gamblers, when in reality we all take gambles in our lives. Leaving a job for a new one is a gamble as is getting married and moving house. The kind of gambling which always springs to mind, however, is the type where we wager money on the chance of winning more. This could be a friendly bet between friends or a large amount of money placed on a sporting event. There are many ways that we have to generate a little excitement in our lives, and here are some of the most popular.
By far and away the world's most favorite ways of gambling is one that many of us don't even see as a gamble, and that is the various lotteries throughout the world. 70% of us by a lottery ticket every week, in the hope of scooping the big one and changing our lives forever. There is more than one prize on offer so you know you have a pretty good chance of winning something, and this maybe is why a lot of people don't see themselves as gamblers, even though they buy their tickets religiously for every draw.
One of our favorite ways of gambling is betting on the winner of a horse race. At any turf club, you will see groups of men poring over the details of up and coming races and deciding where to put their hard earned cash. The experts don't just stick to singular races, they place multiple bets and accumulators, where you pick a selection of horses is different races and they all have to win. The winnings from the first race go into to the second race and so on. If one loses it's all over, if they all win, you walk away with a tidy profit. Big annual races bring in big money as people who never bet at any other time tend to bet a few bucks on a big race.
Hot on the heels of horse racing as one of our favorite gambling pastime is Poker. This is played around the world, both in bars and casinos and online. This card game has many debating its original roots, however it is widely accepted that the poker we know today, and it's most popular format 'Texas hold em', originated in the American wild west. As this is a game that relies as much on strategy as luck, the term 'poker faced' comes from this game. This is where online poker comes in. You don't have to worry about that. You can whoop and cheer if you are dealt a full house without worrying about anyone seeing you. There are literally thousands of online poker sites that are enjoyed by many, just be careful though, if you pay with your credit card it's very easy to get carried away.
There are many other ways to gamble online apart from Poker; casinos incorporate all the games that you would find in an actual casino, and the biggest surge has been in online bingo. These all work in similar ways, you deposit money into your account using a credit card, then buy your bingo tickets and watch as the numbers come out and your boards fill up. A lot of sites offer bonuses where they match some or all of your deposits, while some have quite complicated systems of withdrawal, so check a few out before you sign up.
