Online blackjack tips for beginners

by

Blackjack is a mathematical game and is also one of the world’s most widely played games, according to Scarne’s ‘New complete guide to gambling’.

The game relies on a deck of cards that contain 52 cards, though sometimes people use more than one deck. There are a few things that aspirant blackjack players need to know so that they won’t lose too much money during the learning process. Some of these include the rules and the strategy. The most important thing that any aspirant blackjack ace needs to understand, however, is the theory that underpins blackjack.

The biggest challenge and aim of online blackjack is to get as close to 21 as possible. The second biggest is to beat the dealer. This means that players should follow their basic strategy and they need to be aware when their odds of losing gets too high.

It becomes easier to become more aggressive when things are going smoothly. This is often when players decide to risk all their winning money. Try instead to withdraw half of the winning money and only play with the remainder. This protects your winnings and ensures you leave the game with some money.

Good online blackjack players know that they should set themselves a limit up to which they feel comfortable to play. Above average poker players know not to exceed this psychological limit they’ve created for themselves. But the very best poker players know that they can ignore this rule occasionally if they believe that it would pay off handsomely.

However, it is important to realise that very few blackjack players are experts. This is why it is best to stick to the limit so as not to lose too much money. Leave the table if needs be.

Betting cycles exist and it is important that players realise and respect this fact. But the most important thing is that they need to know when and how to apply this fact to their strategy. Is the game going well? Then it might be time to reconsider betting less. Bet more when you’re winning as this would help to increase your winnings and bet less when you’re losing. Protect your bankroll at all times. Think of it as your queen in chess.

Players who follow these tips should see an increase in understanding, which may lead to great things. It probably goes without saying but enjoy the game, as that is the best way to ensure success.

Pet insurance exclusions

by

Pet insurance is fast becoming a popular choice for many pet owners. But when it comes to pet insurance, like human insurance, it is important to not only know what is included, but what is excluded as well.

Potential policy holders need to take time to understand the pet insurance policy before purchasing the right one for your pet. Various companies offer different cover for your pet, so make sure you get as much information as possible on what the policy covers and excludes.

Below is a list of possible pet insurance exclusions. Remember that each insurance company is different, so again, understand your particular policy. The examples below do not apply to all pet insurance companies, and is just a general idea of what could be excluded.

1. Pre-existing conditions

This is a common exclusion because it applies to health insurance for humans as well. In pet insurance, pre-existing conditions is usually not included in the cover. Pre-existing conditions refers to something your pet has before the commencement of the policy. This can include conditions you do not even know about. This means that even if you did not know about the condition before, the policy may not cover it.

2. Hereditary conditions

This depends on your policy, but hereditary conditions could be excluded in some policies while covered in others. Ask your pet insurance company whether hereditary conditions are included in the cover, or if there is a policy that includes it.

3. Congenial conditions

Congenial conditions may not be covered because they are considered as a pre-existing condition. Congenial conditions are conditions the pet is born with, including patellar luxation, Entropion, Ectropian and liver shunt.

4. Fleas, ticks and other parasites

Some pet insurance policies may include benefits for preventative medications against parasites, but generally treatment for getting rid of parasites is not included.

5. Preventable diseases and elective procedures

Any condition that could be prevented or that your pet could be vaccinated for is not generally covered. Also, any elective procedures like tail docking are commonly excluded in pet insurance policies.

6. Teeth cleaning

Dental care is generally provided for if it is needed due to injury or accident. However, general dental preventative care, such as teeth cleaning, is usually not covered.
