I know of a couple of people who make a living from gambling. Now, I wouldn’t say that this is the best way to “work” but some people are so lucky it just makes more sense to go into it on a full time basis. Moreover, they can stay at home to work due to the convenience of online gaming!

For people who are even a little bit interested in online gaming and would like to invest time, money and energy into this, whether for pleasure or otherwise, they should always be in the loop of the happenings in the world of Online Gambling.

I personally usually just patronize one comprehensive website where I can read all about the top online casinos as reviewed by professional gamers, read about the latest news in the industry and sometimes even refresh my skills by going through the many gaming tutorials available. I find that by doing this, I am more confident when I play.

Anyway, if you have been reading the news, you would know that three of the world’s major online gaming sites have been shut down by the authorities. If you are affected by this move, it’s time to go over to Gambling 101 to look for other good gaming sites!

A cousin of mine will be coming over later today to celebrate the 15th day of the Chinese New Year. It’s called the Chinese Valentine’s Day. My cousin and I and a couple of her friends are all single so we will be wasting the night away playing all sorts of games to amuse ourselves.

I can’t wait to show off my new poker skills. Of course I wouldn’t let them know where or how I acquired my new skills within such a short time but the secret lies in free online poker where I played diligently over the past few months to get ready for Chinese New Year where gambling is the common activity when a bunch of Chinese people get together. I don’t want to be embarrassed yet again. Obviously, I don’t want to lose my hung bao money again!

If you would like to give online poker a run, go to pokerstars.com and download the application for free. Of course, you would need to set up an account but before you commit yourself to your game, make sure you have the interest to learn the game first. Don’t worry, though. There are clear tutorials to help you out if there’s anything that you need clarification on. Once you know the basics of the game, you should be good to go.

I like it that online poker rooms are like the real rooms that we see in a casino. Really, you don’t even need to travel to play your favorite game. It’s all at your fingertips, at home! What is good for me is that I need not be embarrassed about losing a game, especially when cards are in my favor. And I can always ask questions about the game, even if they may sound silly to some. That’s the advantage of playing with strangers!

I believe, tonight, my cousin and her friends will be impressed with my new game skills!

My brother’s watch strap broke off again. He said his watch nearly fell on the ground. While that would be embarrassing, it would also cost him a lot of money because it is an expensive watch in terms of monetary value but it also holds sentimental value to him.

I have actually told my brother that it wouldn’t do to fit his watch with cheap watch straps as they don’t last. In fact, they are not that cheap either. Why not just invest in a quality watch band that would last for a long, long time?

Even though I wear cheap plastic watches myself, I do appreciate the wide collection of brand name quality watch straps that would meet the requirements of any luxury watch owner. You wouldn’t believe it but there are over 18,000 different watch straps available at Watch Style. This means that no matter what type of watch band you are looking for, you are surely going to find it here.

Yet, despite the many watch types and styles available, looking for THE ONE is not a chore as all watch bands are categorized. In fact, besides the various types of watch straps, leather, metal or sports, you can even browse for these by brand, width or length. Didn’t I already say that it is a breeze looking for just the right watch strap?

I bought a used car a few months ago and had problems renewing the car insurance because it is an old car. After much hassle, I found an insurance company that was willing to cover my car. As you know, insurance companies think that old cars carry a higher risk and it is worse if the owner is old too. Luckily, age is on my side. Still, I had to pay a huge premium because I didn’t have time to compare policies among insurers as the road tax was expiring soon.

Now that my car can run for another year, I can spend time to compare car insurance and save on it for the coming year. And this time, I am going to make sure that I would not be caught off guard.

iSelect is an Australian insurance company that allows a car owner to compare car insurance easily in one portal. As a car owner, I just have to select my car make, model and year and then transmission, whether automatic or manual, fuel type and car type. For someone who is not familiar with cars, answering questions about the specifications of the car could be pretty tough.

But once you are familiar with the requirements, you will find that iSelect has provided one of the easiest ways to request for and compare car insurance.
