Carbon Poker | A Fish A Minute

Posted on: November 4th, 2008

Let’s get straight to the point.

If you play online poker and have no idea what “rakeback” is then you’re losing out on a hefty sum each month. In other words, each month you could be increasing your bankroll by hundreds, if not thousands of dollars which for even an amateur player is something that can’t be ignored and it’s all down to the “rake” that poker rooms take from each pot.

So, what’s rake all about then?

Online poker rooms aren’t allowing you to play for free, out of every pot they take what is known as a “rake”. This is a charge of up to $3, it’s where their massive yearly profits come from.

For example: Take a 2-player game of poker, the pot reaches $50 — you’ve both contributed $25. Lets say the poker room takes $2 rake from this pot, it’s now $48. Both players have paid $1 to the “house” for playing this single hand.

If this occurs 1000 times (which can be accomplished in a single day) you’ve paid the poker room a whopping $1000 in rake for the privilege of playing those hands.

OK, so tell me some more about “Carbon Rake Back“.

What if, of that $1000 in the above example you could legitimately get back $333 of it? 33% of the poker room’s table charge paid directly into your player account - dream come true?

Rakeback is where you join an online poker room via a third party, an affiliate, who has negotiated a deal with the poker room to pay you back a percentage of the vast sums of rake you pay.

You can even view how much rakeback you have earned within the software of the poker room, it’s like a monthly bonus with no strings attached!

As a coach it is our responsibility to teach sports safety. Many experts say it is the number one responsibility of any reputable baseball coach. Players need to learn to practice good safety in every sport. Baseball and softball injuries are preventable. Baseball and softball is among the most popular sport in the United States. In the United States there are over 6 million kids from the ages of 6 – 15 playing organized baseball and softball. There are over 15 million playing on non organized teams. Last year there were over 150,000 players treated in hospital emergency rooms for baseball and softball related injuries.

Baseball pitching machines are very safe products to use. Proper use is the right thing to do. I have been to many of practices and watch untrained coaches and players use equipment and get hurt. Here are 5 key tips to reduce of chance of injury when using a pitching machine.

1. Adult supervision is a mustwhile at the batting cages. As adults we are good role models for our players. We as adults are supposed to be older and wiser. Everyone can remember being a kid. As children we feared nothing. Coaches and parents look for hidden dangers. Make sure the player is aware of possible dangers. It is always better to be safe than sorry.

2. Protective gear such as batting helmets. Batting helmets Proper fit is a key to safety. Chin straps are good to keep a secure fit. Face guards will also help eliminate facial injuries.

3. Dry baseballs are also a key for a pitching machine. Balls will absorb moisture from many sources and become dangerous. Look out for bad pitches. Use proper care of the pitching machine. Always use dry baseballs. A great idea is to use pitching machine baseballs. They are designed not to retain water. The pitching machine baseballs will give a batter a great pitch every time.

4. Common sense will take players a long way. Keep a player focused. Teach the player on what to do if the ball is coming at them. Teach the player how to move properly out of the way of a wild pitch.

5. Have a plan. Act quickly if an injury occurs. Have a properly stocked first aid kit and always have a cell phone close by in case of an emergency.

I only bring this up because I have seen it happen. I was coaching an away game and a young palyer was getting loose in a batting cage, not paying attention and he got hit in the side of the head. I know that it could have been prevented if only proper instruction would have been taken. No matter what the age of the athlete is, stay out of the hospital emergency room and stay on the diamond. Safety is the best game to play.

What Are The Attributes Of A Real Sports Fan?

Posted on: November 2nd, 2008

What actually constitutes a real sports fan? Does owning NFL merchandise from a favorite team convert a person into a bigger sports fan than an individual who does not? Some may claim that a team jersey is the fundamental team merchandise a fan should acquire as a sign of loyalty to a team. Quite a number so called fans will go on a shopping spree for popular sports memorabilia collection just as soon as their team wins a pennant. But when the team is going through a rut, they can hardly be found with paraphernalia related to the team they support.

Some of the quicker selling jerseys of more famous or better performing teams are sold at a higher price. This would mean that there would be quite a few true fans out there who would not be able to purchase such items. The same situation persists for season tickets.

Why would we support teams or have favorite players to begin with? Individuals primarily the male of the species have a thing about games and being a member of a team. This behavior stems from our childhood. Some things just do not change. We still adore the Michael Jordans of current times because they afford us to live vicariously through them. Not just anyone can throw a three pointer or hit a home run at will but anyone can own an NBA sports team jersey. And it is not just the games that attracts us but the lifestyle as well.

Knowledge is an integral part of being a real fan. Information of team history, current team events and the overall sport is essential. Many fans who attend weekend games are simply doing it for the atmosphere as it is the only time they have a chance to wear their NFL replica jerseys or parade their other team logo merchandise. There is certainly nothing wrong with that as the experience is unbelievable. Having said that, attending games alone does not qualify a person as a genuine fan according to some.

Loyalty is another very vital virtue of being a true fan. As stated earlier, some fans are fickle and only show support to a team during the better times. These are known as fair-weather fans. The minute a team declines in performance, these followers jump to the next best team or the new leader of the pack.

There are quite a few supporters all over the country who are known as armchair fans and have never been to a game. There are people who love a game in spite of not ever having played it. This could be because of a persons physical or psychological restriction. It is difficult to determine what attracts us to a game we do not even play. Could it be the camaraderie? Could it be euphoria of attending a major final? Or could it be the fact that we are merely able to appreciate a good thing when we see it.

There are two major types of sports supporters in this world - the knowledgeable fan with a jersey or two from his favorite team and the ultra fan who thinks NHL hockey jerseys should be accorded the same standard as the tuxedo.

Most supporters would be categorized the first category. We would own a Boston Red Sox jersey or a Portland Trailblazers jersey, maybe purchase tickets for a New England Patriots game or two, and we most probably keep up to date with the latest scores and rumors of goings on in the leagues. Some of us could even be part of a fantasy mock draft group.

But this is enough for some followers of the game. There are quite a few fans who are so engrossed in their hobby that they have to have every single logo merchandise item from their favorite team.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with showing support for a team. But there are quite a number who take it to the next level or maybe even a few more notches after that. Donning MLB uniforms is standard get-ups for these fans.

Many of you who have watched games might have noticed that there would always be at least one ultra supporter at the game who would don a team jersey which would be covered with team logo pins, badges and other logo paraphernalia which could be stuck or attached to a team jersey. In relative terms, this fan would be the sports fan rendition of a King Scout displaying his badges. Admirable one might think.

There was one instance where a Packers fan bought a merchandise which fans do not usually buy - a Green Bay Packers NFL #First-Up#10′x 10′ adjustable canopy. It was rare but useful for parties in the garden. But this dedicated fan lived by himself in an apartment and had no intention of actually using the product. He only wanted to add to his Green Bay Packers logo collectables collection.

Fanatic team fans have lived with continuous teasing and stares for years. But passion can definitely make people do weird things. Sports is a form of escapism to quite a few of us. It permits us to escape the insanity of the hustle and bustle of the world for a few hours every week, and live vicariously through the star athletes we cherish and sometimes idolize. When we don that NFL jersey or put on those MLB uniforms, while watching the game at the stadium or live on TV, it is just as if we are part of the team.

Passion cannot be quantified. Passion demonstrates itself in different ways in different individuals. As pointed out in the examples above, some supporters are passionate about collecting NHL Merchandise. It is merely their way of expressing their support for their sports team. But there are others who display their passion in a less visually obvious way, by being very knowledgeable about the sport they follow or the team they support. Suffice to say, the second group of fans are mocked less even though they are no less passionate.

Cool And Affordable Sports Collectibles

Posted on: November 1st, 2008

There are a number of non sports fans the world over who regard sports memorabilia as an utter waste of money and space, and an insult to the senses to boot. In any case, sports fans would disagree unyieldingly. There are a myriad of sports memorabilia out there apart from the more popular sports merchandise such as awesome belt buckles or MLB fitted caps. And many are unexpectedly useful too.

Men are usually the main offenders when it comes to taking it to the extreme with their popular sports memorabilia collection. Wives and companions of such supporters have had to endure the slow but sure relinquishment of the living room and den area every time a new MLB, NHL, NFL or NBA season gets going.

The only types of paraphernalia that used to adorn the walls of bedrooms and living rooms were team banners, framed team uniforms and miniature or authentic collectors fitted caps.

But not all is lost. There are actually many useful sports merchandise out there that do more than only use up space.

Neighbors will now know which team a person supports even before they go in the house, with the aid of a door mat with the team logo on it. Looking at the door, they might see another hint in the guise of a team item door knocker.

Team logo merchandise such as clocks, hanging lamps, fireplace screens and bean bags are now easily found in many living rooms of sports fans.

Logo memorabilia such as chopping boards, plate sets, and of course the ever popular die cut refrigerator magnets are now used often in the modern kitchen.

These items no longer incorporate loud design language that scream out the team name a person supports. They have been subtly designed to blend right in with the rest of the items of the den. Most of the time the team name is only displayed in just a single color or the team logo is restricted to a certain size.

For those who are techies, there are even team merchandise LCD monitors and mobile phone covers. What will they think of next?

Actually, there are still various everyday items that could still be turned into useful team logo collectables. Think about what you use everyday and or what item you would like to see your favorite team’s emblem on. Team logo wallpaper for the children’s room would be ideal to help give junior a head start at supporting daddy’s favorite team. General household team logo merchandise could include soap on a rope, shaving cartridges and even shower curtains. Maybe one fine day, one of your fresh ideas might end up being an official MLB merchandise. The possibilities are limitless.

Sports logo products come in all shapes and designs. From the forever popular team jerseys to the more peculiar items like gazebos and LCD monitors. Needless to say, some are more desired than others. But to hardcore fans, to have every single team collectibles with their favorite team’s logo on it would make their day. And all they need to realize this dream is the finance and the space to store their ‘treasures’.

Most collectors of sports collectables did not start with a passion for their sport of interest. Quite a number begin by receiving their first sports merchandise, a simple gift; it could be a junior helmet or a baseball cap. And as time passes, that simple gift would develop into a passion that could even take up all the walls of the living room, and maybe more.

A lot of of these ‘first’ sports collectables could actually have value. You may not notice it but your first Pittsburgh Penguins jersey your uncle got you twenty years ago when you were too young to tell the difference between the NFL and the NHL might be worth something now. Team jerseys of yesteryear are also known as classic jerseys, throwback jerseys or retro jerseys and can command a high price if the jersey is in excellent condition or is autographed by a well known team player, or better yet, the jersey is signed by the whole team of that batch. Valuable merchandise such as those are advised to be kept in plastic covers, within a plastic or glass display casing or put away in a safe, out of the way from potentially destructive UV rays.

There are some collectors who do not collect merchandise of a certain particular team. Instead they collect a certain type of logo merchandise such as logo coffee mugs from any team in a particular league. For instance, team logos on mini NFL helmets or decals. Suffice to say, complete set collections are worth a lot more than the odd stand-alone merchandise.

If you want to begin a popular sports memorabilia collection as a hobby but do not know the length of time the interest will endure, then purchase prudently. Only acquire items that arouse your interest or merchandise which you genuinely like from a team you are a fan of. That way you would not regret spending the money if your interest diminishes. Many sports logo product collectors start by buying MLB merchandise from sports merchandise wholesalers to take advantage of the cheaper prices. And before buying, always consult forums or those in the trade and sports memorabilia guides on the web for a pricing guide for sports memorabilia to make sure you are experiencing the best deal possible.
