Gambling

Today I decided to do a little reading at lunch regarding my little gambling hobby. I decided to start re-reading 'Psycho's How to Improve Your Gambling on Horses' and chapter 1 was on the Bookmaker's 'OverRound'.

Now the first time I read this book I was basically overwhelmed by the amount of info thrown at you and the OverRound was a chapter I don't recall in any great deal of depth so it was a nice fresh look at it.

The basic premise of 'The OverRound' is that it's the profit a bookmaker makes on any given race.

Odds are basically the percentage chance a horse has on winning the race. For example:

Fractional Odds of 4/1 = 5.0 in Decimal Odds.

100%/5.0 = 20% Chance of winning the race.

I just heard about a free £30 at a William Hill Casino:

Having read through the fine print and spoken to their support guys I'm satisfied that it *may* make a free blob of cash so I've signed-up and will give it a go later on.

The credit can be used for any of their casino games and they allow you to withdraw up to £200 winnings as long as you meet their wager requirements.

I'll see how I go and then share links and info here for all you lucky people! ^_^
