Every now and then I read an article that really hits home that I’ve got to share.  I read such an article today over at Android Casinos that I thought would be worth sharing.  The article deals mainly with mobile casino app for Android smartphones, but it applies just as much to iPhone, BlackBerry or Windows Phone smartphones.

The article give many useful  tips on playing real money casino games such as Baccarat, Roulette or Blackjack on an Android tablet or phone.  We all know that if you visit an actual casino they don’t offer any play for fun tables where you can practice a game before you gamble.  The great thing about Android casino apps is that most of them allow you to play for fun if you don’t feel ready yet to play for real money.  This offers new mobile blackjack or poker players a brilliant opportunity to hone their skill before they move onto the cash game tables.

Another great tip is to play to your strengths.  For some reason I’ve never been able to get on a winning streak playing roulette but I keep persevering because I think my luck will change.  But maybe it won’t and maybe I should, like the article suggests, focus on mobile casino games that make a return on investment for me.  In my case I seem to win pretty regularly playing Jack or Better.

A final caution is to only bet what you can afford to lose and never go above that limit.  Wise words indeed.

Anyway, have a great weekend and I’ll talk to you guys soon.n

For instance, the article argues that it is safer to place bets from your Blackberry phone than it is from your desktop.  At face value that might seem a little unbelievable, seeing as your PC operating system is a so much more robust than a mobile platform, but when you take into account the number of viruses laptops and PC’s get infected with compared to ‘ or iPhone, Window or OS X must be considered less secure.

One of the advantages BlackBerry’s and iPhones have over notebooks and desktops is that they are closed systems, so you can install any dodgy software that might make your operating System vulnerable.  Everything needs to be installed from either App World or the iTunes App Store.

The reason most people’s online accounts get hacked is because of security breaches caused by viruses.  For this reason, on reflection, I think it is safer place a sports bet via your BlackBerry or iPhone rather than from your Mac or Personal Computer.

Something that has annoyed me a little over the years has been the lack of time and effort online sportsbooks and casinos have put into developoing betting apps for BlackBerry devices.  We all know that it’s cool to own an iPhone or Android at the minute, but BlackBerry still account for a huge percentage of smartphone out there, particularly in the United States.

This is why I was so heartened to find a new website called BlackBerry Betting which caters solely for BlackBerry sports bettors and casino players.  Though reading through their news and reviews section I discovered that there are more BlackBerry compatible gambling apps available for BlackBerrys than I had first imagined.  Although online sportsbook have not developed specific BlackBerry sports betting apps that can be downloaded from the BlackBerry App World, they have made their web apps compatible with most types of BlackBerry phones, including the BlackBerry Pearl, BlackBerry Curve, BlackBerry Bold and BlackBerry Storm.  Thanks to advancements in HTML5 and java, these web apps are now just as good as native BlackBerry apps that you install.

A great article I found on the site discucces The Best U.S. Friendly BlackBerry Sports Betting Apps.  As you are probably aware, no all online betting companies cater for United States sports bettors so the options open to mobile bettors in the States are slim.  This article examines and reviews the best options.

Hopefully, more time and money will be pumped into developing BlackBerry sports betting apps in the near future.

I ocassionally play Android casino apps for fun but I am always careful because it’s pretty easy lose your shirt if you’re not careful.  I found this useful article that gives some very helpful advice on playing real money Android casino games.

Here are some key points to summarise

• Check what the 3G Coverage Is
• Set a bankroll limit and stick to it
• Pick the Android casino app that suits you best
• Take advantage of Android bonus sign-up offers
• Practice Before You Play

If you stick to those rules when you are playing casino apps on your Android smartphones and tablets.

• If you are based in the United States then you will need to do a little research because most online casinos do not accept US players.  A real money gambling sites do exist but you many need to contact their customer support to find out.
• Finding out whether the iPhone Casino has a good reputation is vital.  There are many well established real money casino sites so there is really no need to risk your money with any shady online gambling operations.  I generally stick with really large casino companies that do casinos as an added service for their customers.  For instance, William Hill are the largest online bookmakers in the UK with an outstanding reputation for customer service and reliability.  I choose to play at the William Hill Casino for this reason because I know my money is safe.
• If I want to casino cash games on your iPhone you should really benefit from the best sign-up bonus for new customers.  The competition for your business between the Casino sites is fierce so they all offer pretty generous sign-up bonuses for new customers.
• Looks for No Deposit sign-up offers.  I love these offers because you don’t need to deposit any money in order to get some free money added to your account.  All you need to do is register your credit cards and they’ll deposit up to £50 into your account.  Once you’ve spent it you can close your account and the whole thing won’t cost you a penny.

I hope you find these iPhone Casino Tips useful.  If you’ve got any tips I’d love to hear them.  You can contact me Mon-Fri at www.iphonebettingapps.com/casinos.html

And please GAMBLE SENSIBLY!!!

Here are a few horse racing apps that I find pretty useful.  First up is The Racing Post iPhone App.  This is by far the best horse racing app and it’s little wonder the app is the most popular horse racing app in the world.  The Racing Post iPhone app gives you live commentaries, full race cards, results and video of horse races from accross the UK.  The best thing about the Racing Post iPhone App is that it’s completely free.  AMAZING!!!

Another app I use if I want to place a bet on a race in the UK is the Racing iPhone App .  It offer a lot of similar features to The Racing Post app but it has the added advanted of allowing you to watch horse races live from accross the United Kingdom.  Unfortunatley, you need to have a Racing UK Subscription to watch the live streams.

I’m not an expert on racing from North America, so if I want to place a wager on a US horse race I generally use the One Click Pony iPhone app .  It automatically select the best best horse for you and even comes with a betting calculator trifecta, exacta & pick 3 bets.

There are many other horse racing apps out there for the iPhone that I haven’t got around to reviewing yet, but you will always find a list of the best racing apps here http://www.iphonebettingapps.com/horse-racing.html

If you know of any other iPhone horse racing apps that I should feature, please drop me a line.

The new iPad poker app will also be compatible with the iPhone or any Android tablet or phone.  You won’t find this new iPad poker app in the iTunes app store as it has been developed as a web application.  Web applications are accessed via a web browser and no software is installed on the iPad or iPhone.

In the iPoker press release they reveal that the new poker app for iPads and iPhone will be launced in the first half of this year.  Source – http://www.pokerappsipad.com/1/post/2011/04/titan-poker-chili-poker-bet365-poker-mansion-poker-to-release-ipad-apps.html

As soon as we get a firm date from the iPoker Network, we’ll let you know so please check back regularly.

The saviour of the online poker industry could be the arrival of real money poker apps.  Over the past couple of years tens of millions of iPhones, Androids, BlackBerrys and iPads have been solds, making mobile poker a possibility for the first time.

Unfortunately the major poker rooms have been cautious about investing too heavily on this new technology and have not released poker apps as quickly as might have been expected.

That is until now.  Full Tilt Poker have just realesd the first Android Poker Apps for the Google Android smartphone.  The new app can be downloaded now from the Android Martket.  The poker industy holds it breath to see will it be a success….
