Gambling is the way to trick regular people with the idea of making big money without doing any hard work. I have always believed that there just might be some easy way of making money in this life, I haven't found it yet and if you do, please be kind enough to let me know.

A few months after this article was posted I found a FREE sports betting website called Centsports which not only allows us to bet for free, but also lets us keep our winnings, and if we lose we get more money to keep on betting. With a good strategy and a little sports knowledge you could make some extra cash with absolutely nothing to lose. That sounds like a pretty fair deal to me!

There are different betting strategies that "assure" you a profit. Some of these are very interesting and even smart, but all of them have a catch. What I'm really saying is that they might work and you might even come out victorious at the end of the day, but you probably won't. Here are some of these strategies or systems for you to see.

Martingale
Double your bet every time you lose until you win. For example, start with 1 chip and double up to 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 and so on until you win, and when you do, you will have made a profit of 1 chip. Simple and bullet-proof (considering you have an unlimited amount of cash and that the table has no betting limits).

D'Alembert
Add 1 chip when you lose and remove 1 chip when you win. For this system to work you'll need a spread of 50-50, which just doesn't happen.

1-3-2-6
This system is designed to take advantage when you're on a role, while protecting your profit. Bet in the stated sequence, 1, 3, 2 and 6 chips. If you win 4 times in a row you make a 12 chip profit and start again. You also start again each time you lose. If you lose after betting 3 chips you lose only 2. If you lose after betting 2 chips, you make a profit of 2, and if you lose after betting 6 chips you come out even. Sounds interesting, but the odds are always against you and at the end you'll lose.

You can try these systems in online casinos betting fun money and see for yourself that at the long run they will all fail. I recommend you Casino Club. I have made deposits and withdrawals from it with no problem at all. Besides, they have the highest table limits that I have seen online, which give you a bigger range for you to try the betting systems.

Card counting
Casino games are all about odds and probabilities, and are designed for you to lose, period. You can't win when the odds are against you. So what you need to do is turn those odds in your favor. Unfortunately, the only way to do that is by cheating or by card counting in blackjack (which casinos see it as cheating as well).

Card counting shouldn't be considered cheating, since you use your mental ability to give you an advantage over the dealer and you're not messing with the game itself or using any illegal devices. Card counting puts the odds in your favor; all you have to do is play blackjack with the correct strategy as long as you can in order to make a profit. There are different counting and betting strategies that will give you an advantage and will guarantee you a profit in the long run, just make sure you're really good at it and don't get caught doing it. MIT professor Thorpe was the first to realize this – you can find his book Beat the Dealer and other useful books here.

Poker
Another way of making money gambling is by playing poker. Since you play against human beings with exactly the same odds as you, you'll win if you're good at it and if you're not you'll lose, as simple as that. You can practice online with excellent interactive software from PKR, or other great software from Pokerroom.

You might want to read some more on gambling, so I recommend you a couple of books that might be useful. Follow this link to find out more.

Before risking real money, first consider how much you are willing to lose, otherwise you'll see yourself in a serious problem. Gambling is supposed to be fun, when it isn't fun anymore, then you know you have a problem. Be prepared to lose and be extremely careful!

apatía

esa rebeldía tardía
día a día más sombría
por la pálida partida
de tu cálida fantasía

esa previa savia tibia
premia ahora una toldería
plena de tanta tontería
fría cría de la tía

esa frustrada cacería de alegría
guiada por una pérfida manía
incita la fétida canallería
que deja tu esencia hundida en apatía.
