    Hi everyone, I'm running my new website and I'd love to know your opinion about it. I've spent a lot of time on the design and content. I think it still needs some work and I hope for some feedback from you guys:) constructive criticism is welcome. Here is my crying baby: www.oddsbusters.com

    I see that some text runs beyond borders you set on homepage. It looks eye catching, tho, very colorful!

    Hi VegasGalPoker,

    thanks for your review!
    Probably you checked the home page on your mobile device:)
    I'm working on responsivity right now, I hope I'll fix it this week.

    So....
    Another site of pedestrian information about gambling to display online casino ads and referrals. How many of these are there out there?

    I'm going to provide news and other content referred to gambling too, not only referrals. OddsBusters.com will grow soon, be patient ^^

    I hope it is information you get yourself, and can document how you got it. There is a lot of competition among gambling sites and getting a takedown notice is not uncommon.

    Best of luck to you....

    As Mark V says, there's lots of sites like this around... you need a USP! Looks eye-catching though.

    Well, to have a blog about Las Vegas casinos you really need to be in Las Vegas to get the news as it happens. Many times promotions change from what was advertised, or casinos run an unadvertised/in-casino advertised promotion and that is where 'being there' really comes in to play. Check out sites like Jean Scott, Marks Las Vegas, and quite a few others that update the players as to current conditions and news.

    Blogs about a gambler like Royals Flusher blog http://www.royalflushervegas.com/ are entertaining as to his adventures is a lot of fun, though I know it is more of a labor of love than a profit center for him. He has a unique voice and writing style that is fun to read. He also takes a lot of photos.

    Blogs about online casino are popular as people want to know if some casino that they found is legit or not. The POGG and casinomeister tend to fill that need very well.

    Sites like the Wizard of Odds/Wizard of Vegas do well with the breakdown of the games and basic play to how to play optimal. They aggressively go after gambling site operators that steal their content, and I mean lawyers and court sort of aggressiveness.


    What will you offer other than being a shill for the online casino you intend to promote?

    Thank you all for your feedback, I put as much effort as possible into creating interesting content for you, so I'll definitely listen to you, guys;)

    It's still not perfect, like chrisbis noticed (I fixed it btw). By "other" content I mean different things like my latest quiz "Which gambling movie superstar are you?"

    Maybe you'll find it fun or interesting (or inspiring to watch some movies) :) hope you'll enjoy it.


    @Mark V

    Royals Flusher blog is really fascinating, I like his style. As you said, he takes photos and shares them, that's pretty cool. He definitely focuses on land based casinos though and mainly plays video poker. I focus on online casino games which I enjoy more.


    @Rona

    Thanks for a good word. Your site looks good too, but I found some weird stuff there. Do you really believe it works at roulette?

    "informed guess: a guess that is based on a degree of experience, knowledge, or information"
    "A speculation based on past experience or knowledge."
    "A guess that is based on a degree of experience, knowledge, or information"

    - from your roulette blog. Or "educated guess". It seems misleading for me as at roulette every spin is a different event and doesn't have any influence on the past or future results.

    Please let's refrain from criticizing.
    I could criticize you for luring people to gamble their hard earned money with your ads, but I didn't.

    Well, you just did by writing it;)

    I accept constructive criticism and all the feedback is welcome. Most of the comments above are not so positive, but this is only a kick to work harder for me. I would appreciate every opinion if I were you.

    However, tell me that your website isn't luring people to gamble, lol:D

    "You will be able to win more $$ than you lose, in case you understood which number or numbers were most possibly to come up in roulette. When betting on numbers that are more possibly to appear, you stand a cool chance of winning cash over long run. In reality, you may practically guarantee that you will often be walking away with more credits than you started with. "

    and please forgive me, but this peace of content found on your website is just a peace of crap. No offence, just draw a conclusion.

    We can disagree on the content as much as you like.
    But the fact is you have direct links to casinos and I don't.

    Hi Rona.

    I had a quick look at your new site as linked above.
    As you say, no direct affiliate links to casinos in there of any sort.

    I hope you too, don't mind a little observational critic of the text in the site.....certainly the 1st and 2nd paragraphs.

    Could do with simplified approach, and a logical message in the opening lines.
    To many negatives in your literature.
    Can i give you an example?

    Quote...
    "Roulette was usually the most well-known games of chance in the casinos.
    Indeed, it was unsually not strange to search for roulette tables crowded with
    folks cheering and wasting away the rough earned cash on some roulette spins. "

    "...unusually not strange....."
    ".......rough earned cash......"

    Unfortunately it does get worse, and tends to lead me to think you didn't get this article proofread. :(

    Well, if you really want to help the online casino community then take a look at http://www.beatingbonuses.com This site simply tells you how to get though the absurdly ridiculous play-though (40x up to 80x deposit) and have a shot at withdrawing some of the bonus money.

    There are also a few other methods to play the online casino games that you would never do in a real casino, but these methods tend to make money. If you play online like you play in a real casino, you will lose.

    The comps for the online casino are very poor as to what you can get in Las Vegas or even in and Indian Casino. Often the Cash comps is tied to a play-though, so it is not really all that lucrative.

    Lastly, I do totally believe that all of the casino software has a 'rouge mode' where at some point you as the player triggers its 'win tolerance' and suddenly no matter what game you play, you lose! There are ways around that too.

    So, what will you actually present to the online gambling community to help us?
