Giants’ pass-catchers are wielding uncertainty to their advantage – Yahoo Sports
Posted: July 31, 2023 at 8:27 pm
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll was giddy, greeting his quarterback with an emphatic high-five and a slap on the helmet after Daniel Jones connected with his tight end on a long touchdown pass during the team portion of practice on Monday.
But this time, it wasnt prized tight end trade acquisition Darren Waller stealing the targets and the headlines. Rather, it was second-year tight end Daniel Bellinger who found the end zone twice.
While this performance is likely not indicative of a major role in 2023, Bellingers emergence on Monday, in many ways, epitomizes the mindset and desired approach for the Giants offense in 2023. As wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins and safety Jason Pinnock both put it: Its pick your poison.
Before opponents are forced to pick who they focus on trying to slow down within this group, though, Daboll will have to make some choices himself, as the Giants currently have upwards of 10 wide receivers who could legitimately make the roster battling for spots.
It really is what training camp is for, Daboll said of the ongoing competition among wideouts. Thats why were out here. I think everybody deserves an opportunity. Those that deserve the opportunity should get the opportunity. And then what they make of it is up to them.
Perhaps overshadowed by the ceremonious return of Saquon Barkley and the impressive showings from Waller, this wide receiver corps features a unique, non-traditional mix of size (or lack thereof) and positional versatility. And although the pecking order remains up in the air, its clear that New York will not be adhering to its Giants epithet in 2023.
Seven of the Giants' wide receivers, WanDale Robinson, Sterling Shepard, Parris Campbell, Jamison Crowder, Cole Beasley, Jaydon Mickens and Kalil Pimpleton, are listed at 6 feet or shorter, with each known for their short-area quickness and thus having primarily played in the slot previously.
The rest of the unit includes 2023 third-round pick Jalin Hyatt, Darius Slayton, Isaiah Hodgins, Jeff Smith, Collin Johnson, David Sills and Bryce Ford-Wheaton, all of whom bring some size and field-stretching ability.
Aside from Beasley and Crowder, though, this group is almost entirely unproven and somewhat injury-prone. Shepard and Robinson are still working their way back from ACL injuries last year, while Campbell, whom New York signed this offseason, has had his growth stunted by injuries to this point. While this could lead to questions come September, for now, the openness of the depth chart is serving as motivation.
Its a competitive room, said Hodgins, who broke out with eight catches for 105 yards and a touchdown in the Giants playoff win over the Minnesota Vikings. You want to be able to sit here and know that you gotta work day in and day out because you got people all around you who can make plays, and I feel like thats what I love about our room.
The wild card, of course, is Waller, who has also struggled to stay on the field in the past but could serve as a hybrid, unicorn-type tight end due to his rare combination of size and speed.
Every other safety or DB whos probably 5-foot-11 has to probably take two whole strides for his one, Pinnock said of the Giants new tight end. Youre playing catch up really the whole time.
For the Giants' pass-catchers, the reality that comes with having a plethora of comparable targets in the running for meaningful snaps is that there likely will be less opportunities, as snap counts are likely to vary depending on the opponent and game plan. But in 2023, the Giants have bigger aspirations than just individual accolades, and thus they are embracing the committee approach.
I think we have a lot of unselfish guys on our team that are able to take on that role and understand that every day you may not have five catches, Hodgins said. You just have to be ready for when it does come your way.

The USWNT diagnosed their biggest flaw in Dutch draw. Can they fix it? – Yahoo Sports
Posted: at 8:27 pm
AUCKLAND, New Zealand The U.S. players diagnosed their debilitating ills before coaches had even reached the locker room. They jogged off a field in Wellington last Thursday after a dispiriting first half. As their Dutch counterparts strolled toward the tunnel, leading 1-0, the Americans moved with purpose, and then began hashing out flaws. Starters shared perspectives from the heat of battle. Reserves shared sideline viewpoints. Coaches eventually shared video. All involved were very direct, midfielder Andi Sullivan recalled. And although the conversations were nuanced, the overarching diagnosis was simple.
We weren't in sync, Sullivan admitted two days later.
They looked like a shell of their once-dominant selves because their press lacked coordination and aggression. The USWNT used to strangle teams by defending from the front. On Thursday, they attempted to press out of a mid-block, but I saw indecision everywhere, former forward Tobin Heath said on her postgame show.
We were looking for somebody else to do something, Heath said. Everybody was kinda looking around like, Who steps? Do you step? Do I step? How do we get the ball? And it looked like we were being toyed with.
An effective press requires 11 in-sync players. It requires understanding and trust. Forwards read certain triggers a back-pass, for example, or a loose touch and sprint at opposing defenders; teammates take those cues and follow, shutting off passing lanes, and suffocating opponent attacks before they begin. A coordinated effort can force turnovers, and disrupt an opponents coordinated movements or dissuade fluidity.
But the U.S. did hardly any of that in Thursdays first half, especially after the opening 10 minutes. It failed to get pressure on the ball, which permitted the Dutch time and space to create midfield overloads. One of those overloads created a goal and sparked all sorts of questions about the USWNTs tactical readiness at this 2023 World Cup.
We knew that the Netherlands they werent gonna be a massive threat, Heath, a two-time World Cup winner and soccer junkie, said. I thought we were more of a threat to ourselves, with our decision-making defensively, than they couldve been to us.
The Netherlands (in orange below) set up in a 3-5-2 that, on paper, matched the USWNTs 4-3-3 player-for-player. The U.S. defended with forwards on center backs, fullbacks on wingbacks, center backs on strikers, and midfield three versus midfield three.
But the U.S. knew that Lieke Martens (No. 11), a playmaker shoehorned into a striker role, would drop into midfield to create something of a 3-4-2-1 shape. Players were prepared for this, Sullivan said we watch a lot of film.
Their apparent plan to cope with it was multifaceted. Sullivan would shuttle side to side, between Martens and Dutch No. 10 Danille van de Donk, as best she could. Her midfield partners would also shut off passing lanes; fullbacks could pinch in from the weak side; center backs could step in to prevent Martens or van de Donk from turning.
All of those solutions, however, depended on U.S. forwards putting pressure on the ball.
Without that pressure, the Dutch had time to swing the ball side-to-side and manipulate the U.S. midfield. Martens had time to sneak into pockets of space; defenders had time to pick their heads up and find her. And all of that happened in the critical 16th minute.
The Dutch dragged the U.S. to the far sideline. Sullivan slid over, shadowing van de Donk, leaving Martens on the weak side, seemingly inaccessible.
But then the Dutch swung the ball back to center back Stefanie van der Gragt. U.S. forwards rotated without urgency. Van der Gragt had space to stride into, and time to pick up her head. When she did, she saw U.S. right back Emily Fox pulled toward the sideline by her opposite number, and Sullivan stretched between van de Donk and Martens, leaving the latter free.
Martens received the ball on the half-turn and skipped by Sullivan, into acres of space. Orange jerseys flooded forward, and pretty soon led 1-0.
Sullivan acknowledged two days later that, honestly, I needed to do my job better, and just commit and get over faster. I think that happened a few times in the first half that I would wanna fix.
But she also needed help from teammates. A coherent press would have given her time to get over, and wouldve allowed the USWNT to get a grip on the game. Instead, the U.S. lost touch with it; the Dutch dictated it. The goal wasnt an isolated incident. For long stretches, the U.S. front five couldnt even get close to the ball.
We got a little bit stretched, and weren't getting that much pressure on them, defender Naomi Girma said.
The result was an overwhelmed midfield, but I think that starts with our front line, Heath noted. And its what the players hustled into halftime knowing they needed to sort out.
They largely did sort it out, and improved in the second half, and earned a 1-1 draw though an injury to van der Gragt and some conservative Dutch tweaks helped.
In the second half, we came out a lot more on the same page, midfielder Savannah DeMelo said. We all needed to go together or we all needed to stay together. And it was more about being in sync with one another.
The worry, though, is that they failed to adjust on the fly and failed to get it right from the start.
Some players have cited their relative unfamiliarity with one another. In 2019, the USWNTs starting 11 was essentially set nine months in advance; four years later, its been in flux. A lot of other years, we've had a consistent group in the whole time, forward Megan Rapinoe said Sunday. Whereas this time around, we've had players coming back from injury, we've had different lineups, we've had players playing with a lot of different people around them, and not having that consistency.
So, I don't think this is anything that anybody was really worried about, she added. We knew we were gonna have to build into the tournament, and just understand that's where we are.
But the time for building has almost elapsed. The time to get in sync is now. The U.S. likely wont win this World Cup without a coordinated press. Systematizing it requires communication but also shared understanding and belief. Forwards must know and trust that midfielders and defenders will follow their lead but midfielders and defenders can only follow instinctively when forwards trigger the press consistently at agreed-upon moments.
It's always like a chicken-egg situation, right? Sullivan explained. Like, if you don't step high enough, then it's hard for people behind you to read. And if people behind you aren't reading it, then it's hard for you to go.
All of that, for 11 players that had never shared the field as a single unit until this month, is definitely a challenge that we're going through, Sullivan said.
Portugal, on Tuesday, in a game that the U.S. cant afford to lose, likely isnt talented enough to expose the Americans like the Dutch did. It's also "a lot more conservative than aggressive," U.S. head coach Vlatko Andonovski said Monday. A more impactful fix in Tuesday's game, Rapinoe argued, will be attacking width. I think we got quite narrow against the Netherlands, and it enabled them, even when they got tired towards the end of the game, to still get players around the ball, and stop our creative flow quite a bit, she said. Positional discipline in the attacking phase will spread the Portuguese defense and unlock space in which the USWNT can playmake and flourish.
Before long, though, more elite opponents will come knocking. Some, such as Spain, would be far more potent than the Netherlands. The U.S. cant afford 45 minutes of indecision and discombobulation.
Andonovski, when asked Monday about how he plans to synchronize things moving forward, noted that Rose Lavelle's introduction as a second-half substitute "helped with some of those triggers and aggressive pressing." Lavelle, who has been on a minutes restriction since recovering from a knee injury, should start against Portugal and beyond.
But Andonovski seemed to believe that the U.S. problems stemmed from the Dutch goal. "I think actually it started well in the beginning," he said. "The moment we got scored on, there was a little bit of hesitation. And when you go in to press, if one player hesitates, that kills the press. So, it just became a chain effect. One player hesitated, and then that affects the next player, so the next player starts hesitating, and obviously it results in the way it did, where Netherlands just took the game over."

Julius Erving’s all-time top 10 includes Tiny Archibald, no active players – Yahoo Sports
Posted: at 8:27 pm
Philadelphia 76ers Host 1982-83 Championship Team
Julius Erving has had the same five best players of all time ever since he was 15. He's not changing it now for the modern game.
Dr. J sat down with an interview with Joy DeAngela and she asked him about his top 10 players of all time list. His answer is not what you expect (hat tip Basketnews for the transcription).
"I have five guys who are untouchable Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, and Elgin Baylor. That's my all-time best team. Everybody else has to be on the second or third teams, and I made this decision when I was 15 years old. I'm sticking with it now all these years later. There is no order. I think West and Robertson would be in the backcourt. Elgin Baylor would be in the frontcourt with Wilt and Bill Russell.
The next group of guys would be Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan, Ervin 'Magic' Johnson, probably Karl Malone. I always argue with my son where Tim Duncan belongs, and he's like, 'He belongs ahead of Karl Malone for sure.' I'm taking Karl Malone and that last position... I like Tiny Archibald."
When DeAngela asks him about current players such as Stephen Curry or LeBron James, Erving said he only names players whose careers are over.
He's Dr. J, a Hall of Famer and Philly legend, and we won't argue his list. Baylor may be the star player most underrated by modern fans, who don't always understand he was the first to popularize playing above the rim. Karl Malone over Tim Duncan may not be the call I would make, but one can argue it, at least. No active players? I think we have reached the point in LeBron's career where there is a large enough body of work to say he is top 10 all-time. But it's Dr. J's list, and if he wants the also underrated Tiny Archibald on there, so be it.
It's definitely a deviation from the standard, but it's an interesting top 10.

Casino Games Like Roulette That You Should Try Online Today – The Sports Geek
Posted: July 29, 2023 at 8:48 pm
Table games like roulette have dominated casino floors across the world for decades. The thrill that comes from spinning a roulette wheel is hard to match.
But even the biggest fans of roulette need a break from the game now and then. Thankfully, the top online casinos are loaded with more than just roulette wheels. In fact, your roulette skills may even help you win at casino games that use similar concepts.
Keep reading to see five casino games that are similar to roulette. I will tell you how each game is like roulette and why you should play it. Also, I will give you my recommendation for which online gambling site you should use to play each game.
Starting off my list of casino games like roulette is another fan favorite, craps. This dice game can be found at casinos across the US. It is also very popular among players who enjoy playing online craps on the internet.
Craps and roulette have a lot more in common than just their respective popularities. For example, both games allow you to choose from a variety of bets. In roulette, you can wager on everything from the color and amount of the winner number to which section of the board it falls into.
Similarly, craps offers a lot of betting options, such as:
Also, both roulette and craps allow multiple players to wager on the same outcome. Multiple bettors can wager on the outcome of the same spin of a roulette wheel. Similarly, anyone at the table can wager on or against the shooter in craps.
Craps is a very popular casino game, so you should have no problem finding it online. But for the best online craps experience, I recommend using Bovada. There are a lot of great table games available at this casino, including craps.
Bovada allows you to play free versions of many of its table games, too. This is a great feature for anyone unsure about transitioning from roulette to craps. When you are ready to play for cash prizes, you can redeem tons of great casino bonuses to get extra money to gamble with.
From one of the most common casino games to a game you may not have heard of. Hoo Hey How is a Chinese dice game that is a variation of the more well-known Sic Bo. It is also sometimes called Fish-Prawn-Crap.
The object of Hoo Hey How is to correctly pick which symbols will appear on the three dice after they are rolled. You start by picking the symbols you want to wager on, and then your roll three dice. If the symbols you bet on appear on the dice, then you win.
Hoo Hey How may seem like an odd choice for this list, but the game is more like roulette than you may realize. In both games, your goal is to correctly predict the final outcome.
Also, you can get different payout odds depending on how specific your wager is in roulette. For instance, correctly betting on a specific number pays more than just betting on odd numbers. Hoo Hey How players can get better payouts by correctly predicting the outcome of multiple dice.
Get Exclusive Access to Winning Sports Betting Picks for Free
Hoo Hey How is a fun game to play, but it can be hard to find. Luckily, Ignition Casino offers a version of the game called Roll The Dice. This version gives players six different symbols to potentially wager on.
Ignition offers a free version of the game, too, so you can practice before betting any real money. The games user interface (UI) clearly outlines the betting odds, which can be a huge help for new players.
Roll The Dice is available on the sites mobile casino app, so you can play it at any time from your favorite mobile device.

Another great option for people looking for an alternative to online roulette is keno. Both are popular casino games that require you to pick from a field of numbers to bet on.
In roulette, you only have 36 numbers to bet on. But online keno players have up to 80 different numbers to choose from. Also, roulette players can bet on sections of numbers, like black or red, at one time.
Keno players, on the other hand, can only pick individual numbers. But you can wager on multiple numbers, sometimes up to 20.
The more accurate you are with your prediction, the better your payouts will be in both roulette and keno. Picking the exact right number in roulette usually rewards you with 35-to-1 payout odds. You will be rewarded with a huge payout in Keno, too, if you correctly predict all of the winning numbers.
The casino that I recommend the most for online keno is DuckyLuck Casino. It has multiple keno titles to choose from, and you can try them for free. Playing for free can help you pick the version of keno that best fits your playing style.

Up next is baccarat, a world-famous card game that has plenty of similarities to roulette. For starters, both roulette and baccarat have multiple variations that require different strategies. In roulette, most of the variations you see are due to the different types of roulette wheels.
Baccarat online, or in-person, has different rule variations depending on the role of the bank and the players. For example, in Chemin de Fer, a player acts as the bank instead of the casino.
In addition to having multiple rule variations, roulette and baccarat are similar in the fact that the outcome can be largely out of the players hands. You can pick the numbers you want to wager on in roulette, but you cannot control when the wheel stops.
Likewise, baccarat players have some choice over what hand they want to bet on. But in most versions, there are strict rules about when players can choose to get more cards in their hands. In Punto Banco, for example, a third card must be added to the player hand if the total is five or less.
BetUS is a great option for anyone looking to play baccarat online. It offers multiple versions of the famous card game to choose from. You can try free versions of baccarat, too, after you sign up for an account.
To make matters even better, BetUS also offers live dealer roulette and baccarat games. Playing with a live dealer can give you a more realistic casino experience. Using a live dealer can also be a fun way to mix up your routine instead of playing against the computer all the time.
Rounding out my list of the best casino games like roulette is online bingo. These popular casino games both require you to predict winning numbers to be successful.
In roulette, the winning number is ultimately decided by spinning the wheel. Video bingo, on the other hand, randomly generates winning numbers from a set list. In the end, though, you need the number, or numbers, that you bet on to match the winning number.
It is easy to change the number you are wagering on in roulette. All you need to do is bet on a different number or set of numbers in the next round. You change the numbers you are wagering on in video bingo by getting new bingo cards to play with.
Roulette and video bingo are also similar in that you do not have any influence over the outcome. The spinning of a roulette wheel and the drawing of bingo numbers are both completely random.
Picking the right video bingo site to use is paramount to having a good player experience. That is why I recommend using Slots.lv to anyone that wants to play bingo online. It offers more than half a dozen video bingo titles to choose from.
The video bingo games at Slots.lv include special features, like the option to buy more bingo balls. Many of the titles available also include in-game bonus rounds that can offer huge prizes. The bonuses available to members of this casino are a great way to get extra funds for playing video bingo, too.

It is difficult to recreate the fun and excitement of playing roulette. But the list above contains five online casino games like roulette that you can try today. Every game on my list can be just as rewarding as roulette with the right betting strategy.

Alan Guebert: Russian roulette with missiles, drones, and food – The Hastings Tribune
Posted: at 8:48 pm
The one certainty about the Ukrainian-Russian war is that there is little certainty.
Even with Russias recent history of aggression, few predicted outright war. Then, when it came, no one predicted Russia would so badly misplay its opening gambit. And who could have foreseen a former television comedian rallying his out-manned, out-gunned citizenry to meet every bloody challenge and incredibly, reverse the field on the invaders?
Past events suggested that the next big event would also be a surprise, but surprise! it was just Vladimir Putin being Vladimir Putin: he pulled out of the Black Sea grain deal to keep an estimated 40 million metric tons of 2023 Ukrainian grain from the worlds 600 million hungry.
He then sent missiles to destroy much of Odesas export infrastructure to ensure the world received his mad message.
By itself, however, the closing down of Odesa shipments, tweeted Andre Sizov, a 27-year veteran of the Black Sea grain trade, are not a game changer. Ukraine can ship 40+ mmt of grain via other routes. One of the other routes Sizov pointed to July 21 was a Ukrainian Danube port on the Black Seas northwestern shore.
Then, surprise, Russian drones bombed that port, Reni, too. The July 24 action took guts because the bombed side of the river is Ukraine; the other side Romania, a NATO ally that, had it been hit, would have likely required a military response by the U.S.-led, 31-nation security group.
News of the drones, destruction, and export delays lit global grain markets on fire. Corn, the soy complex, and wheat went up and down and then back up. Some of the moves energy came from continued dryness throughout much of the grain-producing Midwest. Most, however, arrived courtesy of Russias attacks on Ukrainian ports.
But Russia, noted Sizov, has much to lose, too if Ukraine rises to the challenge as it has for 17 months now and retaliates by attacking Russian shipping. Right now, Russia has almost 50 mmt of wheat to ship to finance its war. Like the Ukrainian grain, it too is waiting for a ride.
Also, any increase in attacks on Russian shipping imperils its economic lifeblood, oil exports. Experts estimate that 43 percent of all exported Russian oil is shipped through the Black Sea, mostly on Greek-flagged tankers. Any move by anyone in that arena carries repercussions market-wise, political, and military that few want to consider.
Five days after the first Putin action, European Union (EU) ag ministers met to develop a plan to move the mountain of now-stuck Ukrainian grain through its border-sharing member nationsPoland, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Slovakiaand into key markets in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.
Its not a new idea it was used to move some of the 2022 Ukrainian crop into the world market but its not very popular, either.
In fact, two months ago, on June 5, the European Commission, the body that oversees EU trade policy, said it would extend its current rule that allowed the five border nations to restrict Ukrainian grain flowing through their nations. Whats more, the Commission allowed the same five to outright ban sales of Ukrainian wheat, corn, rapeseed, and sunflower seeds in their countries.
Any new deal now will be met with quiet derision, not boisterous unity. The road and rail routes through neighboring countries have stirred anger from local farmers faced with a glut of Ukrainian grain that has driven down prices and hurt their livelihoods, ABC News reported July 25, 2023.
Its not great for Ukrainian farmers, either. Shipping delays and higher transportation costs mean lower farm prices and smaller profits for the already war-weary group.
In the meantime, unsurprisingly, Russia keeps raising the stakes. When EU ag ministers suggested Ukrainian grain exports might be diverted through Baltic ports in Lithuania, a Russian spokesman said, sure, go ahead and try it.
Be forewarned, he added, We will continue to counter that.
What does that mean? The chances are good that not even Vlad the Invader knows, but its certain that the threat to global commodity markets is far from over.

Best Casino Bets For Players Who Want To Go All-In – The Sports Geek
Posted: at 8:48 pm
Going all-in at the casino can be one of the most exhilarating feelings in gambling. However, it is also the riskiest move that a gambler can make while playing casino games. If you are ever tempted, it is important to find the best casino bets for going all-in.
What does going all-in mean in gambling? In short, wagering all of the money that you bought into the game with is going all-in. Going all-in does not necessarily mean emptying your bank account on one bet.
Some gamblers will do this, but we highly recommend only buying into casino games with what you can afford. Going all-in should not put anyone into financial ruin. Even if they want to go all-in at real money online casinos, bankroll management should always be the foremost concern for any gambler.
Before going all-in, ask yourself if you can do it without harming your monthly or yearly gambling budget. There is no guarantee that you will win, despite our recommendations for the best casino bets to shove all-in with. However, there are certainly better casino games than others for going all-in.
There are no guarantees for winning gambling, but you can always put yourself in a strong position to win. Gambling is all about gaining as much of an edge on the house as possible.
With this in mind, we only recommend going all-in when you are playing casino games that have the most favorable house edge. Coin flip bets with as close as a 50/50 chance of winning rank amongst the best casino bets for an all-in wager.
There is one exception to our 50/50 and house edge rule above. There will be times in poker when going all-in can be used as a strategic move as a bluff or you are confident about having the strongest hand. The house edge does not apply in this instance.
While poker isnt exactly a traditional casino game on the floor, we have to include it on our list of best casino bets. Note that you should always exercise caution when going all-in blindly while playing poker.
There should be a strategic element to going all-in while playing poker. Buying into a game and immediately going all-in is not what we suggest doing. You are better off going all-in on another one of our recommended games if this is your intention.
Poker is a terrific game to go all-in, but only if the occasion calls for an all-in bet. Learning how to play poker is required.
Confident You Have The Strongest Hand
The nuts, referred to as the strongest hand at the table, can open up the door for an all-in. Understanding poker probability and where you stand in relation to other players at the table will help.
If you are playing at poker sites and opponents are familiar with your strategy, dont expect them to call. They will pick up that you will only go all-in with the nuts. Mix it up and keep others at the table on their toes.
Opponents Are Short-Stacked In Tournament
When you have the lead and the rest of the table is short-stacked, this is a good time to be aggressive. If they dont call and are playing tight, it can be a good time to pick up their blinds to slowly bleed them out of the tournament.
Bluffing
Bluffing with an all-in bet is not for the faint of heart. Generally, this will come after the turn or river. To be a successful bluffer, it takes experience and years of studying poker. Identifying poker tells is a vital tool for being a profitable player.
As we noted, mixing it up at the poker table prevents opponents from picking up on your strategy. Being an aggressive player in the right moments without a strong hand can be a good play sometimes.
Its easier to go all-in at the poker tables when you are playing with the houses money. Poker players can get a 150% poker welcome bonus of up to $1,500 at Ignition Casino. There is an extra 150% casino welcome bonus of up to $1,500 for players who want to gamble on casino games.
Ignition Casino has everything a poker player could need for playing online poker. In addition to popular poker games, such as Texas Holdem and Omaha, Ignition Casino offers a variety of different stakes.

The closest thing to a coin flip in the casino is at the baccarat tables. There is a common misconception that betting on red or black in roulette is a coin flip. Not exactly.
Consider passing on roulette and play baccarat at online casinos instead. If you know how to play baccarat correctly, it is easily one of the best casino bets. So, how do you play baccarat to maximize your odds of winning?
There are three main bets in baccarat: Banker, Player, and Tie. The goal of baccarat is to wager on the side that will be the closest or equal to 9. It is a simple game that often attracts the biggest high rollers in the casino.
High rollers are drawn to baccarat for its simplicity and low house edge. Baccarats house edge can drop as low as 1.06%. But, this is only possible if you know which bet to make while playing baccarat.
Baccarat is only considering a best casino bet when wagering on the Banker. Never consider going all-in on the Player or Tie bet.
This is in comparison to 1.06% on the Bankers bet. With a house advantage of roughly 15% on a Tie bet, never go all-in on this wager.
There is no other strategy or thought process required to play baccarat. Always bet on the Banker and hope that luck is on your side for your all-in wager.
Best Online Casino To Go All-In When Playing Baccarat
Our favorite way to play baccarat is with live dealers. The excitement of baccarat is elevated when playing with a real dealer. Bovada is our top pick for playing live dealer baccarat.
Table limits start at $5 in Bovadas live casino. Also, there are $100-$2,500 tables for high rollers at Bovada. $2,500 is the max that you will be able to put on one baccarat bet. That should be more than enough for most gamblers.
Bovada is one of the most well-respected online casinos in the industry. Since debuting in the 1990s as Bodog, Bovada has processed millions of deposits and withdrawals to bet on casino games and sports.
This popular casino has a variety of deposit methods to get started playing baccarat today. Deposits are processed instantly, as is your welcome bonus to play online casino games. New players at Bovada are eligible for a casino bonus of up to $3,750.
If you want to go all-in playing roulette, choose European Roulette over American Roulette. Most land-based casinos will only offer European roulette in the high-limit room. However, considering you want to go all-in, limits should be an issue.
Fortunately, the top online casinos will have European roulette at lower limits. If your all-in bet isnt huge, then you can get it down online. European roulette is also known as single-zero roulette.
With only one green pocket on the roulette wheel, the house edge is considerably lower than the double-zero game. Dont get us started on triple-zero roulette, which is one of the worst bets in the casino.
The house edge of American roulette is 5.26%. Conversely, the house edge drops to 2.76% on a European roulette wheel. The decision is easy to play single-zero roulette rather than the double-zero variant.
There is a 47.34% chance of winning a red or black bet on American roulette. However, your odds of winning increase much closer to 50/50 while playing European online roulette.
The same applies to the odd or even bet on a European roulette wheel. It isnt quite a coin clip bet, though it is getting pretty close.
For an all-in roulette bet, dont bet on a single number or any of the other exotic wagers. We have strategies for outside roulette bets and more, but this is only for gamblers that want to play a percentage of their bankroll per wager. They can result in large wins, but the odds of hitting are much lower.
All-in roulette bets are better used for the 50/50 wagers, which include red or black and odd or even. No one can influence which pocket the ball is going to land in. However, this is a strong all-in bet close to 50/50.
Best Online Casino For Roulette Players to Go All-In
The only roulette you should be playing is European roulette. If the wheel doesnt have a single zero, keep on looking for a table that does. At Las Atlantis, you wont have to do much searching because they only offer single-zero roulette.
European roulette is easily accessible at Las Atlantis. The easy-to-use and modern interface will have you at the roulette table in no time. Always think about your decision before going all-in, but Las Atlantis is your best option for roulette players.
If you want to play other casino games, Las Atlantis has you covered. We dont recommend going all-in on a slot machine, but they can be fun to play with the appropriate budget. With the largest selection of slots online, Las Atlantis is a go-to destination for slot machine players.
Getting a huge welcome bonus is a huge asset for gamblers going all-in. Las Atlantis has several different welcome bonuses worth thousands of dollars. For the best casino bonus, deposit with Bitcoin or another crypto for a staggering $9,500 cash bonus at Las Atlantis!

This is another instance where you have to play the right version of blackjack. There is a notable difference between playing 6:5 and 3:2 blackjack. Whenever possible, play 3:2 blackjack instead of the 6:5 game.
Of course, if you want to go all-in, always play 3:2 blackjack. You are depriving yourself of a fairly sizable bonus win if you happen to hit a 21 with your first two cards.
On a $100 wager, you will receive $120 for a blackjack at 6:5 odds. Meanwhile, you can win $150 for the same bet at a 3:2 blackjack table. While land-based casinos are moving away from 3:2 blackjack, you can still find tables at online blackjack sites.
Either way, for an all-in bet, which we assume is going to be at least $100, 3:2 blackjack tables should not be difficult to locate. Walk or scroll past the 6:5 blackjack games without a second thought.
The house edge for 3:2 blackjack is roughly 0.50%. It can dip closer to 0.20% depending on the rules and proper blackjack strategy. For 6:5 blackjack, the house edge can push up to 2% in some instances.
Unlike baccarat and roulette, there arent any different types of wagers in blackjack. Place your bet and try to get closer to 21 than the dealer without going over. Is there a perfect time for going all-in while playing 3:2 blackjack?
Are you counting cards and keeping a running count of the deck? Then, yes, there are certain hands to go big on.
Then, yes, there are certain hands to go big on. The most simple card counting strategy is the Hi-Lo technique.
When the shoe is rich with higher-ranked cards, you will want to bet bigger than normal. The only way to establish this is by counting cards. We recommend learning a basic Hi-Lo card counting strategy for 3:2 blackjack. The fewer the decks there are in the game the better.
The best time to go all-in playing blackjack will be when the count favors the player. While you are waiting for the perfect opportunity, make small bets until its time to press your chips all-in.
Best Online Casino For Blackjack Players To Go All In

We have to talk about craps when discussing the best casino bets. It would be foolish of us to forget about one of the best casino games for gamblers to play.
There are a number of different bets that can be made in craps. The most common craps bet is known as the Pass Line wager. On the Pass Line, craps players are wagering that 7 or 11 will be rolled instead of a 2, 3, or 12 on the come out roll.
If a point number is established, your number must be rolled before the number 7. It is the most popular bet in craps, but should you be making it to go all-in? While it isnt a bad all-in bet, there is another option that you should consider.
The house edge in craps is going to depend on which bet is being made. For going all-in, you want the best edge over the casino that is possible. The Pass Line isnt a bad bet with a 1.41% house edge.
However, you can do better if you want to go all-in on the come out roll. The Dont Pass bet is the opposite of the Pass Line, though it comes with a lower house edge of 1.36%. You win the Dont Pass bet by the shooter rolling a 2 or 3, with the rules for a 12 typically a push.
The roll of the dice is completely random. Unlike blackjack, there is no specific time for betting on craps. Since you are going all-in on one wager, the Dont Pass bet is your best option.
Therefore, the Pass Line has a win probability of 49.29%. This is higher than the win probability of 47.93% for the Dont Pass wager.
However, you have to take into consideration the push by rolling a 12. With a push probability of 2.78%, the loss probability is less than a Pass Line bet at 49.29%. So, mathematically, you will lose less than 50% of your rolls on the Dont Pass wager.
The difference is slim, but the odds suggest betting on the Dont Pass.
Best Online Casino For Craps Players To Go All In
A number of online casinos have craps tables. However, it is important to only gamble at online casinos that have the best in craps. What do we mean by the best?
Having an easy-to-use craps interface and table is crucial for online craps. With a multitude of wagers available at your disposal, a modern and clean interface is best for playing craps.
Per our recommendation, the Dont Pass and Pass Line bets should be your only concern for going all-in. However, there will be times when you want to mix it up. At BetUS, you can make all of the common and exotic bets on craps.
In addition to craps, all of your casino favorites, including live dealers and slot machines are in abundance at BetUS. To get started at BetUS, sign-up and receive a limited-time offer with a traditional deposit method or cryptocurrency.
Currently, BetUS has an impressive 150% casino bonus of up to $3,000 for traditional deposits, such as a credit card or bank transfer. If you want to get the most out of your casino bonus, deposit using cryptocurrency for a 250% casino bonus of up to $5,000!
Video poker machines are not made equal. Despite the general goal of games being similar, there can be a significant difference between one Jacks or Better machine to another.
Similar to 6:5 vs 3:2 blackjack, the house edge is much lower on full-pay video poker machines. What this means is that you will win extra money for a full house or a flush. Fortunately, pay tables are displayed on every video poker machine.
For going all-in, full-pay Double Bonus Poker and Deuces Wild video machines are going to be your best bet. These are becoming tougher to find in casinos, though. As a solid alternative option, full pay Jacks or Better is a good all-in bet.
Full-pay Deuces Wild video poker has a house edge that favors the player. With a house edge of -0.76%, it is one of the rare casino games that can statistically be beaten. Full-pay Double Bonus Poker machines follow with a house edge of -0.17%.
Lastly, full-pay Jacks or Better carries a house edge of 0.46%. Statistically, a full-pay Jacks or Better game is not beatable over time, but still a viable option for going all-in.
The first assignment is to try and find full-pay video poker machines or the highest-pay tables available at your disposal.
You want to maximize your win potential on an all-in bet. A full-pay Jacks or Better machine is going to be the most common. Deuces Wild and Double Bonus Poker full-pay machines are becoming close to extinct.
However, you can still find full-pay Jacks or Better video poker. Also known as 9/6 Jacks or Better, the full house must pay 9 credits and flush 6 credits for 1 coin to be full-pay. Your next best all-in bet is on a 9/5 Jacks or Better game.
Best Online Casino For Video Poker Players To Go All In
It is important to pick the best online casino when deciding to go all-in on video poker. First, it is important to select an online casino that you know will pay after winning big. There isnt much of a reason to go all-in if the online casino isnt going to pay.
Second, the casino must have a large selection of video poker machines. It is imperative that you can easily find your favorite games. Lastly, we recommend a casino with massive welcome bonuses to make your big wager a little easier on the wallet.
The DuckyLuck online casino checks all of the boxes for you. All of the games mentioned above, including several more, are available at DuckyLuck. With several convenient deposit methods, you can get started with your all-in bet instantly.

England boss Wiegman’s standing at the roulette wheel about to go … – The Offside Rule
Posted: at 8:48 pm
Not gambling with your World Cup line-up when the Lionesses are in a sweet spot has its upsides. When the stakes are this high, it could soon be called into question, writes Jessy Parker Humphreys.
There isnt anything quite like a Sarina Wiegman tournament line-up. Because once you are in, you tend to stay in. That is why who started against Haiti was of such high interest. Does Alessia Russo being given the nod ahead of Rachel Daly mean she will start up top for the rest of the World Cup? Is Lauren James destined to play the super sub role for the tournament? Will we continue to see Alex Greenwood used at full-back rather than centre-back?
The answer to all of these questions is: probably, yes. Everyone knows that Wiegman likes to stick to one starting XI, with complementary substitutes to create a finishing XI. And there is plenty of logic behind it tactical, temporal and psychological.
Tactically, Wiegman predominantly uses a fairly strict positional way of building up in possession. She likes to use her full-backs in combination with the more advanced midfielders to get balls out to the wingers who in turn look to get crosses into the box. The centre-backs will also look to bypass any press by playing long balls out wide, as we saw Millie Bright do repeatedly against Haiti.
The focus on using specific plays would ostensibly make it easier to switch in between different players in the starting XI, but Wiegman is not religiously committed to her build-up patterns. She also wants to prioritise relationships between those who are on the pitch.
International players get incredibly limited amounts of time to train together, both throughout the year and at tournaments. This is why international management is such a different beast to club. Consequently, clarity is key and that is a concept central to Wiegmans management. Simple build-up plays are augmented by the relationships built quickly on the field in order to give players a certain amount of freedom that makes them unpredictable to the opposition.
At a tournament, the short turnaround between matches heightens the importance of focusing on your own game plan. Coaches often talk about wanting to impose their own plan on the opposition but the reality of that depends on who you are as team and who you are up against. A case in point would be the demands for New Zealand of playing a Norway (where they were expected to need to defend a lot) vs a Philippines (where they had much more of the ball but struggled to do a lot with it). That is different if you are England, where you will always be expected to go out and play, regardless of opposition, but you are even more limited in preparation time.
Whereas in league football you might have up to a week to prepare for the opposition, once you are out of a group stage, you will only have a couple of days. The possibility of tailoring a (complex) game plan to the opposition is unrealistic so it makes even more sense to focus on how you want to play.
There is one further reason to stick with the same starting XI. The ability to create an environment that promotes positive psychological states with the players is a key part of management. It is not easy to keep 23 professional athletes happy just ask Hege Riise.
In naming a starting XI and sticking to it, Wiegman might upset some players within her squad but there is no doubt that they know exactly where they stand. It provides the players selected with a confidence and faith in their ability that, as long as you dont allow it to breed complacency, can boost performances as a tournament goes on.
But what happens if you get that initial starting line-up wrong? Or if there just simply are games where some players are better suited than others? James against Haiti feels like the perfect example of this. The Chelsea forwards ability to drive with the ball, coupled with her physicality and press-resistance was clear to see when she came on for the last half an hour. Surely this was a game where it would have been perfect to start her?
Wiegman would argue that the upsides of sticking with the same starting XI outweigh James attributes that might slightly advantage her in the game of this kind, with the scoreline and underlying numbers in support of this. But her decision over whether she does stick or twist gets to the heart of some of the most contentious questions in coaching philosophy.
England are almost in a sweet spot right now where it is hard to say that any one or two players in the squad are significantly better than the rest. If you were going to be extreme, you could argue that the quality means that whoever starts should do well, if Wiegman has prepared the squad enough for it. But the risk with this approach is that if it does go wrong, and if performances do not improve, that initial starting XI will be called into question. Wiegman is standing at the roulette wheel, and shes put all her chips on black.

Yung Miami is in her entrepreneurial bag, and we love that for her. The rapper andCaresha, Pleasehost, held a game night to promote her new drinking game,Resha Roulette. In an Instagram carousel, theAct Uprapper shared images and videos of the eventful night, which of course, resulted in a Caresha twerk session.
You just had to be there!! Resha Roulette official game night coming to a city near you!! thank you to everybody that came out and supported me , Yung Miami captioned the post.
The rapper wore a white, mesh Jean Paul Gautier top with matching pants. She partnered the look with white platform heels that matched her Birkin bag.
The 29-year old reposted footage from her game night, and it looks like so much fun. In one video, Yung Miami is in a split on the floor, blessing the crowd with a lil twerk action.
In another video, the rapper gives an overview of the entire night, with a caption that suggests the game-night fete could end up in your city, if youre lucky. You just had to be there what city should I bring game night to next, she captioned the Tweet.
Yung Miami shared more photos from the night, including some of the playing card. Judging by the prompts, you have no choice but to leave game night inebriated.
Take a shot if you see a ass you wanna smack right now, the card read.
Another card read, Truth or Dare I dare you to tongue kiss someone in your section or take 3 shots.
The racy game is designed for fun, and Yung Miami reiterates that you should drink responsibly while playing Resha Roulette. Were going to suggest you also exercise consent and read the room before playing. Games like this are for responsible adults.
