TOP CASINO TIPS OF ALL TIME There are many people who play in casinos but there are a lot of them that lose a lot of money as well. This list of casino tips has been put together to help you to make sure that you do not leave the casino with a big loss in money, but have a fun time while you are

there.

You firstly need to think about how much you are going to spend. You want to make sure that you do not lose more money than you can afford to lose. Think about your bank balance , when you will next be paid and how many bills you have to pay. Consider whether you have any money left that you can afford to lose. That is right, lose. You need to assume that you will lose at the casino. This may seem rather depressing but it is realistic. Just take the money with you that you can afford to lose or pay that in to your casino account. Decide to spend nothing else and stick with that decision. It may be difficult, but that is the only safe way to play. You will have a lot more fun and feel a whole lot better if you leave the casino without losing money that you needed to pay bills with. If you have won, that is great and you could play with your winnings if you wish, but you may like to hold on to them so that you go home with some money. It can be too easy to start spending them and have nothing left in a short space of time. You need to learn as much as you can about the games that you are going to play. If you want a chance of winning then you need to know whether there are any hints or tips that can help you. You need to consider all of the games that you want to play and learn as much as you can about them. Some people consider that you only need to learn how to Play Poker because this is the only casino game with any real skill. Although there is a lot of skill to this game and it is extremely wise to go to a Poker Professor to find out as much as you can, there are things to be learnt about all of the games that you can play at

the casino.

Even bingo or keno and slots have some things to learn so find out what you can. The more that you know about the game, the better your chances of winning it. Although you may be playing more for fun than winning, it does feel more fun if you win sometimes and so you need to give this some serious thought. Author The Contaminated Posted on March 4, 2013

7 THINGS THAT RICH PEOPLE DO It can be fantastic to imagine that you are rich. Many of us would love to have silly amounts of money and be able to buy all the things that we would like. It has been said by personal help gurus that if you want something then you have to imagine you have it already. This means that if we live the lifestyle of the rich then we can become rich. So let’s have a think about what rich people do and see if we can do the same thing. _STAY IN EXPENSIVE HOTELS_ At $65,000 per night the Royal Penthouse Suite

at the

Hotel President Wilson in Geneva is the most expensive room you will find in the word. Well, it is not just one room but is a suite of ten rooms and seven bathrooms. This may be a bit too pricey to start with, so why not try a penthouse suite in a cheaper hotel or maybe just a hotel room anywhere or if you are very hard up, try pretending your bedroom is a hotel room for a night, I am sure your partner or flatmate would not mind taking the role as butler for a while! _BUY EXPENSIVE HOUSES_ Of course, you cannot live in a hotel and so you will need a house to live in. The most expensive house is thought to be in Mumbai and is worth $2 billion. It has the space for 600 staff, numerous gardens and a personal health club for each

family member.

You may need to go down the gym ad imagine you own it to get your head around this one, just try to pretend the sweat flying from the person jogging next to you is a spray of pure water to cool you down. _BUY EXPENSIVE CLOTHING_ We all know that the rich wear some of the finest clothing. So how about getting a suit made, there is a cashmere, wool and silk suit, encrusted with diamonds that costs just £599,000. If that is a bit too expensive, how about a pair of jeans designed by Damien Hirst for $27,000 – there are only eight pairs in the world? Maybe you just need to stick some crystals on your best blazer and splatter paint a pair of jeans and pretend that they are the originals. _INVEST THEIR MONEY_ One thing that rich people do is to invest

their money.

This means that they can get an income from it and can spend without having to keep earning. This is great as it means that they can enjoy life without having to actually go out and earn any money. Imagine that! Learn more at investing.co.uk and you could soon be one of the richest people in the world, or at least know a few of

their secrets!

_DRINK THE FINEST ALCOHOL_ No rich person would be seen guzzling down a Barcardi and Red Bull or worse sipping something from a paper bag. You have to get drunk using the very best quality products. How about a sip of 60 year old Whiskey from Macallan ’s Fine and Old

collection.

You will have to go to Borgata hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City to get some and it costs $3,300 a glass. _WRITE WITH EXPENSIVE TOOLS_ If you really want to feel like one of the super rich, then you will need the right tools for the job. When you are signing all those important letters, you will need a £60,000 gold barrelled, diamond encrusted fountain pen or a £404 alder pencil with sterling silver lid. The Helix and Bic just will not do, you may just have to close your eyes and use your imagination with this one – whatever you do, do not write on the back of your hand, all rich people can afford paper and not loo paper either! _GIVE EXTRAVAGANT GIFTS_ There are family members that just seem to be impossible to buy for aren’t there? Next time you have that dilemma at Christmas why not buy a limited edition cracker

,

with a designer hat, engraved silver thimble, confetti and joke. It costs just £1,500 but as that is only for one, you may need to spend rather more if you want one for each member of the family. Perhaps you will just have to spray paint a standard box and decorate the hats.  Tell them the plastic gifts are actually shabby chic and you might convince someone…you never know! I think we can agree that it is not really possible to live the lifestyle of the rich without actually being rich. However, using your imagination could help to make life a lot more fun!

_UPDATED KITCHEN_

A kitchen

can be a real selling point in a house. It is one of the main rooms that people look at and if it is out of date, they will worry about the expense of making it look good when they buy the house. It can be difficult to know whether to go for something ultra modern that will look great but may outdate quickly or something more classical. It is probably best to think about who the house appeals to, as a family home would probably benefit from a more classical style and a home for young couples might need something more modern.

_UPDATED BATHROOMS_

Having a practical bathroom may seem the only important thing, but when trying to sell a house potential buyers look for more than this. They will think of practicality and maybe want a bath and shower, a waterproof floor and a sensible amount of tiles. However, if you are looking for new bathroom decors , something that looks modern, stylish and comfortable will be more appealing. Old fashioned colored suites, patterned tiles and outdated lighting could get people not only thinking it will be expensive to replace but some might be put off

altogether.

_MASTER BEDROOM_

The master bedroom is the most important of the bedrooms because it will be the place where the actual buyers will be sleeping. They will be looking for something that will be relaxing and have enough storage for their clothing. A walk in wardrobe

or

something built in, if there is not much space, will offer them a luxurious feel and mean they will not have to buy so much furniture. An en-suite bathroom can also be very appealing. If there is not one, you could consider concerting the next door bedroom. Adding heated floors from Warmyourfloor.com , luxury towels and a power shower, could seal the deal.

_NEW WINDOWS_

Although most houses have double glazing these days, there are still quite a few with outdated wooden windows or white plastic ones. It is worth considering having some wood effect plastic windows or even getting some luxurious features such as replacing a sliding patio door with a French door or adding in a bi-fold door from the kitchen to the

garden.

New windows can change the appeal of the house from outside and inside as they can make a big difference to how clean and modern a house and a room look.

_EXTRA ROOMS_

Adding extra rooms

will add value and appeal to your house. Whether you can convert a loft or basement to make an extra en-suite bedroom or build an extension to make a room bigger. Some people add a conservatory, but make sure that it is a warm room, as they are often cold in the winter and too hot in the summer and so cannot be used all of the time. An extension with under floor heating or radiators could be a better choice.

_FLOOR COVERINGS_

Some people feel that it is not necessary to update the floor covering

as potential buyers

will not notice. However, many will notice, especially if they are dirty or outdated. Having ceramic tiles in bathrooms can give them a stylish and very clean look and are appealing. In the living areas hardwood or laminate floors are very fashionable. These look good and are easier to clean than carpets if you have pets, however, bedrooms and stairs do look warmer and cosier with carpets. The plusher the carpet the more appealing it will be so make sure you get a good quality underlay.

_CURB APPEAL_

Many people will drive past a house that is for sale and seeing it from the outside can give a lasting first impression. Therefore you need to make sure that the front of the house is clean and tidy and the garden and driveway are neat. Having some pots of flowers by the door can be very welcoming. Make sure that the front door is clean and if necessary freshly painted as they will be waiting there for it to be opened for a while and may be

examining this.

_FINISHED BASEMENT_

Many houses have basements which are used as storerooms or dens. They may have old furniture dumped in them and maybe are a place where the laundry is done. It is worth considering how appealing this might

look.

Painting the walls, fitting some flooring and arranging furniture in the room to make it seem like a more usable space can be much better. You could go the whole hog and turn it in to a bedroom or you could just put in some furniture to indicate what the room could be used for. Try to sell it as a usable room rather than just a storage space.

_STORAGE SPACE_

Showing that there is lots of space for storing things is a good selling point. To demonstrate this, make sure that you do not have lots of things lying around. This will immediately show that there are places to put away everything. Make sure that you show potential buyers where all of the storage areas are, so they know that they will have room to put everything

that they have.

5 BEDDING OPTIONS FOR KIDS ROOMS If you have a child, then you may just think they will need a regular bed, once they have outgrown their cot. However, there are a whole range of options out there and it is worth considering them all and their pros and cons before you spend some money.

DOUBLE BED

Your first option is likely to be a regular single or double bed

.

The one of these you choose will partly be determined by space but budget will also be a factor. You may also decide that a double bed is unnecessary if you only have one child, but they could be good for two children sharing or if a child often gets poorly and needs an adult with them. A regular bed may seem like the best option, but it may not be the best for your situation and so it is worth considering the other options first.

THEME BED

A theme bed

could be a fun alternative. These will be in a special shape and colour such as a racing car, truck, spaceship or perhaps a princess castle for a girl. They can be enchanting and fun and fit in to the theme of a bedroom. Children will love them and it could help make

bedtime fun.

Sometimes getting children to go to bed is very difficult so having a fun bed could help. They will need replacing as the child gets older as they will grow out of them, but if they help them to get used to sleeping in their own room and getting off to sleep well, then they could be well worth the extra money.

BUNK BED

A bunk bed is quite a popular option for children. Even if you have just one child in the bedroom then it can be handy to have an extra bed if they have friends staying over. It can also be great if they are unwell and need a parent in the room

to look after them.

However, they do tend to be most popular for children who share a room so that they can have their own bed but it doesn’t take up too much room. They can also be quite a cheap way of getting two beds.

FLOOR BED

A floor bed , may just sound like a mattress on the floor and perhaps not a good option, but they can work very well for children. You can make them in to a tent or den and decorate the room around them. You can save money on a bed base and therefore they can be cheap, although you may prefer to get a futon. They can be very good for children who tend to fall out of bed and they also make a room look a

lot bigger.

SLEEPER SOFA

A sleeper sofa can be a great option too. These are sofas that can be converted in to beds. It means that the child will have a multifunctional piece of furniture. It can be useful if they want something more like a studio and so they can have a seating area if they wish. If they have friends round, the bed could be folded away to create space. It could be especially good for older children or put in a child’s room as a spare bed for when they have friends over to stay. They come in many sizes too, even as chairs, so they can more easily be squeezed in. So be open minded when choosing a bed for your child’s room as you will find that there are many options out there, perhaps more than you had ever imagined. You will find that most of these options will have different styles and different prices and so they could be suitable options for most people.
