NFL week 5 Odds, Betting Tips & Picks

NFL week 5 sees the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs head to Indianapolis to take on the Colts. Genie is here to offer some betting tips and picks at the best odds around.

Televised matches this week are Chiefs @ Colts and Chargers @ Raiders both on Sky Sports. The late game is Eagles @ 49ers on C4 and the Vikings travel to play the Jets in New York on Monday Night Football (ESPN).

The big news of the week has been the transfer of Randy Moss to Minnesota, where he was such a star for many years. The 33 year old comes back to offer a much needed deep threat in what has been a predictable Vikings offence to date. They have badly missed Sidney Rice and the signing of Moss goes to highlight just how important the next couple of games are for Minnesota’s season. The arrival of Moss should do a lot to free up space for Percy Harvin who can be backed at odds of 10/1 to score the first TD.   Defeat on Monday would leave them 1-3 and in danger of not making the playoffs, with a tough couple of fixtures to follow. The Jets welcome Santonio Holmes into the fold in what has fast become the Galactico team of the NFL.

Betting Tips

This week Genie’s 3 NFL picks are:

Vikings to win away to the Jets      33/20 with Ladbrokes.

Titans to win away to the  Cowboys           11/4 with Victor Chandler.

Texans to win at home to Giants          2/3 with Ladbrokes.

Other Bets
Harvin to score first TD vs Jets        10/1 with Paddy Power.

Last week we had 2 out of 3 winners and hope to get the hat trick this weekend. The Bears let us down but credit to the Giants defence for taking Cutler out of the game.

We hope that you enjoyed Genie’s odds and betting tips article. Let us know your picks for this week. If you are placing a bet why not avail of one of the generous sign up bonuses of free bets from our betting partners below.

Open De France Odds & Betting Tips

This week Genie is turning his focus to Europe, specifically the Open De France from Le Golf National Golf Club near Paris. It is a strong European field but, as ever, Genie has fould some value in the betting. For a list of betting odds and free bets on the golf this weekend check out the tables below.

Betting Tips

The  event has taken place at Le Golf National course since 2002. We’ve had our share of surpirise winners with names like English trio Philip Golding, John Bickerton and Malcolm MacKenzie lifting the trophy.

Another Englishman who will be keen to do well this week is Ian Poulter. Having shown a glimmer of a return to form in the first couple of rounds of the US Open Genie thinks that Poults should do well in Paris this week. The course is no walkover and Poulter’s exceptionaly straight ball striking and solid putting will represent a significant advantage ofver most other runners.

Poulter has course form here, having finished 3rd, 9th, 30th and 3rd in is 4 appearance since 2006. He is a player that is improving with each passing year and he likes this course. The 28/1 available from Bet365 will offer you a good run for your money.

Another who deserves respect in the each-way betting is Soren Hansen. He has somewhat struggled with his game at times this season but having finished inside the top ten here in 4 of the past 5 appearances Hansen is worth a look in the each-way market at 40/1 with Paddy Power or William Hill.

Betting Tips Summary

For a quick revision of our golf betting tips for the Open De France here we go. For a €100 staking plan this week Genie is suggesting:

€70 on Ian Poulter at 28/1 with Bet365

€15 e/w on Soren Hansen at 40/1 with Paddy Power

Best Irish Bookmakers

There are several renowned high street Irish bookies and most are now trying their hand at offering online betting. Irishness and betting are synonymous so it follows that Irish Bookmakers are among those challenging for market share in the, still relatively new, phenomenon of online bookies.

Guide to Irish Bookies

Paddy Power were first to market and are reaping the rewards of their boldness, heading the market with more than 4 times the business of all other Irish bookmakers combined.

Boylesports, with their impressive retail estate of 140 shops, have made some impressive online strides in recent years and will be hoping that a new website helps them to grow their market share.

Celtic Bookmakers, have the next biggest in terms of retail estate but they have no online offering worth speaking of; preferring to rely on their resource heavy call centre.

BetPack.com represents a joint effort by bookmakers Tully, Bambury, Hacketts, Mulholland, Terry Rogers and Track to compete with the other 2 main players in the market. They have just recently set up a white label website supplied by British bookmaker, Stan James. Marketing thus far has been done through the shops only but time will tell if they are willing to splash a bit more of the cash to really get their teeth into a hyper competitive market.

BetChronicle.com is the online representation for Chronicle bookmakers and act more as a Betdaq tracker rather than a traditional fixed odds bookmaker. Both Betdaq and Chronicle are owned by a certain Mr Dermot Desmond.

Betting with Irish Bookies

If you are new to online betting then we suggest that you sign up to Irish bookies, or any bookmaker, who is willing to offer you the best deal in terms of free bets for signing up. It is often advantageous to open several accounts so that you can shop around for the best odds available.

Online Bookies and free bets guide

Knowing which online bookie to use is an important point of note for any punter.  As there are many to choose from this might seem like a daunting task. To help make your job of selecting a bookmaker easier Genie will be rating a number of online bookies and keeping track of each of their sign up offers.We’ll also provide the best free bets avaialable relating to each of our bookmaker partners.

A couple of points to note when selecting which bookmaker to use are the following:

• Customer service: It is essential that all online bookies should have an excellent quality of customer service. As with all online services there should be an offline form of contacting customer services. All our selected partners have a live chat facility and call centre to ensure transparency and immediate action for customers.
• Sign up offers: There is no point signing up to an online bookmaker if they do not offer you an initial bonus or free bet. Simply put, if you are not offered a sign up offer then you shouldn’t sign up as there is better value to be had elsewhere.
• Generous odds: As the online betting industry has become increasingly competitive, many bookies offer enhanced odds, moneyback specials and generous odds on certain markets. This is something that is not necessarily offered by traditional bookmakers. When selecting which online bookie to use it is important to select one that provides value for your money.

Blakjack Betting Guide

Blackjack is a game of skill; when played properly it can result in the lowest house edge game. This is because Blackjack gives players too many advantages. Good players can gain an advantage over the Casino or “house” with the right information and strategy. However, bad Blackjack players are the reason that Blackjack is the most profitable of all casino table games.

Basic Blackjack rules

Blackjack can be played using one or more decks of standard playing cards. Players should not be concerned with the suit of the cards, as the card suit does not mean anything. Card value or rank is more important.

Blackjack is mainly about the number 21. Players play against a dealer to try and gain a hand that is closer in value to 21 but not over that amount otherwise they will forfeit their bet or “go bust”. Throughout the game players have the opportunity to “hit” or “stand” in order to try and gain a better hand than the dealer. To “hit” means that a player takes an additional card while to “stand” means that the player refuses to take an additional card. Once a player is finished hitting or has chosen to stand, it is the dealer’s turn to complete their hand. Unless otherwise stated, the rules require the dealer to hit on a sixteen or less and stand on a seventeen or more. The one exception to this is if the dealer has an ace and a six, which is referred to as a “soft seventeen”.

The dealer will finally compare their hand with the player’s hand.

• If neither hand has gone bust, then the highest total wins.
• If neither hand has gone bust and both hands are tied, this is called a push. This means that no money changes hands.
• If the player has gone bust then the player loses and the money is forfeit. The dealer’s hand is irrelevant to the player.
• If the dealer goes bust and the player has not busted then the player is the winner.
• If a player gets a natural, or blackjack¸ this generally pays 3:2 meaning for each $10 staked the player will get $15.

Blackjack card values

• Cards ranked from 2 to 10 are counted at the card number value.
• Picture cards (Jacks, Queens and Kings) are counted as 10.
• Aces can either be 1 or 11 (whichever the player prefers)
• Blackjack: A combination of a card valued at 10 and an ace. This hand will either win or be tied but will not be beaten.

A player with a hand less than 21 can ask for additional cards. This is called a “hit”. However, if a player exceeds 21 then they automatically lose, or “go bust”.

Playing Blackjack

Blackjack is played at a table like the one below.The most important rules are always printed on the table. You can generally find additional rules on an upright card on or behind the table. Most casinos use multiple deck games but some also offer single-deck games where the dealer actually holds the deck as they deal the cards. In multiple-deck games four to eight decks of cards are stored in a box called a “shoe”.

Blackjack Table

Players are dealt cards face down in a single-deck game or face up in a multiple-deck game. Either way the chances of winning are the same. When dealt face-up players are not allowed to touch the cards.

To start the game the dealer deals the cards from the shoe to the first player on their left and any other players that are playing. The dealer will then deal one card face-up to themselves. A second card will then be dealt to each player and the dealer will then receive another card face-down this time. This is called the “hole card”.

As players can only see one of the dealer’s cards they must decide to “hit” or “stand” in order to get closer to 21 than the dealer.

How to hit or stand

If playing Blackjack in a casino it is important to give clear clues to the dealer as to how you want to play. Generally if a player wants to take an additional card they should tap on the table to demonstrate this. If a player wants to stand then they should wave their hand when it is their turn. Playing online requires no such effort!

Insurance in Blackjack

The question of the hole card will be important if the dealer’s up-card is an ace. This is the case as players lose if the dealer has a natural and they don’t. In this case some players choose to take insurance against a dealer blackjack when the dealer shows an ace. Insurance is generally an additional bet of one-half of the original stake. Insurance pays 2:1 when the dealer has a natural. If the dealer doesn’t have a natural then the player loses their insurance bet.

Genie says:

Insurance might sound tempting but it’s generally best avoided and should be regarded as a bad bet. The probability of the dealer having a ten under their ace is approximately 31% and yet this only pays out at 2 to 1. All in all, this gives the house an edge of about 7%…..in short, avoid insurance! Once instance where you may want to take insurance would be if you have a natural. In this instance a 1:1 payout is guaranteed.

Hitting, Standing, Doubling or Splitting

The majority of dealers’ hands will not be naturals, so players will have the opportunity to either ask for additional cards (hit) or to refuse them (stand).

Another variation of a hit is called double down. A double down requires an additional bet of an amount normally equal to your original wager. You put the chips next to your original stake and the dealer will give you exactly one more card. You cannot hit further on that card in most cases.

If a players hand is made up of a pair (A, A; 10,10, etc) a player can then split these cards for an additional wager giving the player two hands. The player will then have to play the hands separately.

Genie says: Some casinos restrict re-splitting and doubling on splits so make sure to check the rules before you play! If you’re playing online you can normally check the rules by checking the game information or help files within each game. Most casinos require that you can only get one extra card on split aces.

The dealer’s hand in Blackjack

If a player doesn’t go bust, it is then up to the dealer to beat them by bettering their card value. The dealer will turn their hole card and draw according to the rules. Some casinos require the dealer to hit a soft 17 (Ace and a six) but this will be stated either on the table or in the additional table rules.

Surrendering

Some casinos will allow a player to take back half their bet and forfeit the rest if their initial hand seems hopeless. This term for this is to surrender and it is usually restricted to situations when the dealer doesn’t have a natural. This option is generally unavailable when playing online!

Genie’s summary:

• 21, 21, 21, that’s what Blackjack is about. Compete with the dealer to get a hand that is closer to 21 but not over that.
• Getting an extra card is called a hit, refusing cards is called a stand. Try not to go over 21 or you’ll go bust!
• Give the dealer visual cues if playing in a live casino. If playing online, no need to worry!
• Double down if a positive situation comes your way (see the strategy guide for this)!
• You can split when your original hand has two cards of equal point value.
• You can surrender if your initial hand seems hopeless.

Blackjack house edge and probability

Probability is hugely important in Blackjack as an effective Blackjack strategy is based on being able to predict certain outcomes based on the probability of that outcome occurring. Blackjack strategy is entirely about the cards in the deck. With Blackjack, the typical advantage is 1% or less when it’s pushed to the player’s side. However, this can also swing to a Casino or house edge of around 5%. Using basic Blackjack strategy without card counting, the house edge is generally reduced to .50%. With card counting techniques, this edge can be reversed to a player advantage of 1%. Despite this fact, Blackjack remains a highly profitable game for Casinos because the vast majority of players are unaware of the optimal strategy that they should use.

Genie says: Remember that by using the optimal strategy you will have a better chance against the house and over time will win more than you would without using optimal strategy. While having the edge doesn’t automatically mean that you’ll win the bet, it does guarantee that you’ll have an advantage every time you place your bet.

How to play Baccarat

Baccarat is a popular Casino game that is often associated with Casino High Rollers. This is despite the fact that it is one of the easiest Casino games to play and is as simple as betting on Red or Black in Roulette! Baccarat is usually played in a separate Casino area on a playing table that is roughly the size of a craps table and occupies three casino dealers and up to about 14 players.

Baccarat rules

To play Baccarat two hands are dealt and the player decides which one will win. The object of the game is to have a hand total that is closer to 8 or 9 than the opponent’s hand. There are three possible outcomes that a player can choose to bet on. These two most likely outcomes are to bet on either the banker or the player. The third and less likely outcome is to bet on a standoff (a tie).

Each player will be dealt a minimum of two cards and a maximum of three cards from a six-deck or eight-deck shoe. The card suits are of no concern.  Each face card or 10 has no value while cards less than 10 are counted at face value. Aces are valued at 1. In Baccarat single digit values are important. If a player receives cards that total double digits then the first digit is dropped, e.g. 25 is counted as 5 or 16 is counted as 6.

To start the game players must place a bet on the banker, player or a standoff. Two cards are dealt to each player and the banker. The object is to bet on the hand that you believe will have the highest total value. If any hand has a total of 8 or 9 then it is called a “Natural” and no further cards will be dealt. If it isn’t a natural then the game must play out and the players must take a third card where they are obliged to do so. The rules for taking a third card are defined by standard Casino rules that oblige both the player and the banker to take a third card.

Once dealing is finished, the hand with the highest total wins. Losing bets are collected first and then winning bets are paid out.

Player’s third card rule

• When the player or the bank’s cards total of 8 or 9 on the first two cards then no further cards are drawn. This is called a natural and the hand is over.
• When the player’s hand totals 6 or 7 then the player must stand.
• When the player’s total is less than or equal to 5 the player’s will have to draw a third card.
• When the player doesn’t have to draw a third card then the bank must stand on 6 or above and take a third card on a total of 5 or less. If the player does take a third card then the Bank’s third card rule below comes into play.

Bank’s third card rule

• This comes into play when a player takes a third card

• If the bank’s total is 7 then the bank will stand.
• If the bank’s total is less than or equal to 2, then the bank must draw another card, regardless of the player’s third card value.
• If the bank’s total is equal to 3, then the bank must draw a third card, unless the third card that the player drew was an 8.
• If the bank’s total is 4 then the bank will have to draws a third card unless the player’s third card was a 0, 1, 8, or 9.
• If the bank’s total is 5 then the bank must draw a third card when the player’s third card is 4, 5, 6, or 7.
• If the bank’s total is a 6, then the bank must draw a third card if the player’s third card is a 6 or 7.

Baccarat card value table

Baccarat History

Some players like to know the past outcomes before choosing whether to bet on the bank or player. Generally this is indicated on a screen where “B” indicates a win for the bank, “P” indicates a win for the player and “-“ indicates a standoff. These are also displayed in consecutive rows until a new winning streak is started. A tie will be considered part of the same winning streak and will be displayed in the same row as the previous winner.

Baccarat House Edge and payouts

Betting in Baccarat is similar to betting on Black or Red in Blackjack. Overall, it is regarded that the Casino holds a house edge of 1.06%. The payoff is even money for betting on the Bank or the player with the only difference being that a win on a bet on the bank is generally subject to a 5% commission to the Casino. This extra commission is required, as over an 8-card deck of cards the bank will on average win three to four hands more than the player giving the Casino and in-built advantage or hold. The final option of betting on a standoff is paid out at 8:1 or 9:1.

Baccarat Strategy

Unlike with Blackjack, there is no optimal baccarat strategy that can result in a better chance of winning in Baccarat as the game plays out according to game rules. The most obvious of these would be to bet on the Bank and to avoid betting on a standoff.

Online Free Bets:

Genie’s current free bet partners are listed below.  We’ll have more to come shortly!

Free bets are offered by bookmakers, usually to encourage new account sign-ups.

They are also used frequently to reward loyal customers or as part of a reactivation campaign.

Current Free Bet Offers

Free bets come with some terms and conditions that usually include the following:

• Stakes on free bets are not returned.
  • This means that the punter is usually better advised to spend freebies on an outcome with higher than average odds.
    • Why: Because if you bet on Man Utd to win at 1/2 with your free 20 quid free bet you will only be returned the winnings (10) if they are successful.
• Free bets are excluded from other special offers on the event or market that the punter is betting on.
  • So if there is a cashback special on the event the bookmaker may not return free bets in the event of the cashback clicking.
  • The reason for this is often due to restrictions in the bookmaker’s backend systems that make it an extremely manual process to re-credit free bets.

GENIE SAYS: Punters should love free bets. Because almost all of the bookmakers these days give away free bets as part of sign-up offers Genie says when you see a good sign-up offer take it while it is available. Open as many bookmaker accounts as you can.

GENIE SAYS: Because free bets are not returned when using free bets the free bet is worth approximately 90% of its value in real money (stakes) terms.

Make sure to use our free bets guide to your advantage as we’ll constantly be updating the guide as and when new offers are available.

Betting in-running, or live betting as it is commonly known, accounts for about half of all betting on sports nowadays.

As the name suggests it involves betting on an event once the event has already begun. In a football match punters can now bet on the outcome of a game or if another goal will be scored right up until the final whistle. Most sporting events now have betting markets available right up until the result is determined.

Benefits of Live Betting

1. Bookmakers yield a much lower return on the average live bet than on the non-live which suggests that live betting is better for the bettor.
2. You can wait and see how an event is unfolding and offer a more educated opinion.
3. Things change fast and it can be very exciting.
4. You have many more opportunities to bet.
   1. You can bet on the next player to win a point in a tennis match or the next player to throw a 180 in darts. There is never a dull moment for the bettor.
5. You can lock-in a profit before the result is in.
   1. Take for example a tennis match. You have backed Nadal to beat Murray at 2/1 before the match starts. Nadal wins the first set and now Murray is 2/1 to win the match so you put some money on Murray at 2/1 to guarantee that whoever wins, you make a profit (This is how you would do it with a fixed odds bookmaker. With a betting exchange you can just ‘lay’).

Delayed Bet Processing

When placing a live bet you will notice a delay in processing the bet. Most bookmakers traditionally put a 7 second delay (5 seconds only on betting exchanges) on placement of a live bet. This is so that the bookmaker has a cushion in order to react to something happening and either suspend the market or adjust their prices accordingly. It also protects against the possibility that some punters may be getting their television pictures a few seconds ahead of the bookmakers – or even actually be a spectator at the event while they are betting.

If the odds get shorter in the 7 seconds while you wait for your bet to go through, it will not be accepted and you will be reoffered the same selection but at a lower price.

If the odds get longer during that 7 seconds then your bet will be placed and you will receive the higher (and better) odds.

Automated Trading

Some bookmakers manually adjust their prices in-running but most of the major bookmakers now run off pre-determined models. Every price on every market is linked to the starting prices of the competitors and the current score. This means savings for the bookmakers in resource overheads because 1 trader can trade several in-running events at one time.

A punter who is aware of this fact should be able to use it to their advantage. Bookmakers don’t always get the starting price correct so in a situation where you think they have obviously miscalculated the starting price you will be able to find excellent in-running value because the latest prices being churned out by the robot are all coming from the incorrect starting price.

GENIE SAYS: Live betting is booming and will continue to get more popular. It allows a more educated prediction of the outcome and a knowledgeable punter should be able to make a profit.

How to play Roulette

Roulette is one of the easiest Casino games to play and understand. The object of the game is to pick the correct outcome that will appear on the Roulette wheel. Players can bet on individual numbers, combinations of different numbers, the colour of the result (Red or Black), or whether the outcome will be an odd or even number. Roulette originated in France from where the modern day variant of the game can be dated back to 1842.

Roulette betting

There are two Roulette betting areas that players can choose to bet on. The inside betting area includes all the individual numbers. Players can bet on individual numbers or a combination of numbers. Inside numbers are arranged in rows of 12X3 numbers. The zero (0) is at the top of these columns. Outside betting areas has betting areas for selecting a bet on columns, red or black, odd or even and different groups of numbers.

Inside Bets

There are a number of different inside bets that can be made. Players are allowed to place a bet on a number “straight up” or to place their bet by covering the line between numbers to select a number combination of numbers.

Payouts for inside bets

Straight up: A Straight Up bet pays 35/1.
Split bet: This is a wager on two numbers and has a payout of 17/1
Street bets or line bet: This pays 11/1. To make this bet place your chips on the vertical line which separates the outside and inside betting areas. The chip will have to straddle the first number in the row you are betting on.
Quad bet/Corner bet: This pays 8/1. To make this bet  place your chips so they are touching the corners of the numbers you are betting on.
Basket bet: This pays 6/1 and is a five number bet on zero/ zero and double zero and the numbers 1,2 and 3.
Double Street bet: This pays 5/1 and is a wager on six numbers. To make this bet you need to place your chips on the line separating the outside and inside area as you do for the street bet but in a manner that it will also straddle the row above or below.

Outside Bets

The outside bets relate to any bet made in the boxes that surround the inside betting area (the numbers).
Red Black Odd and Even: These bets pay out at 1/1. To make these bets you place your chips in the boxes on the layout.
Dozens bet: A dozens bet pays out at 2/1 and is a bet made on 12 consecutive numbers. To make this bet you’ll need to place your chips in the boxes marked 1-12, 13-24 or 25-36. Dozens bets do not include the zero or double zero.
Column bets: Column bets also pay out at 2/1. Rather than betting on 12 consecutive numbers a column bet allows you to bet on one of the three vertical columns.

Roulette house edge

American Roulette house edge:

In American Roulette the house edge is 5.26%. This is based on the 36 numbers, zero and double zero. On a standard American Roulette wheel this results in the odds of you winning being 37/1. For a straight up bet the payout is 35/1 resulting in this high house edge.

European Roulette house edge:

As a European Roulette wheel has only one zero, the house edge is less than in American Roulette. For straight up bets the odds of winning are 36/1 while the payout is at 35/1. This results in a house edge of 2.7%.

Roulette Strategy

Unlike in Blackjack, there is no optimal strategy in Roulette that will reduce the house edge. Despite this, many players like to use a betting system when playing. The most famous of these is the Martin Gale system.

The Martin Gale Roulette Betting System

The Martin Gale betting system is a commonly used system in Roulette. It is based on progressive betting after a loss. If the player loses they double their bet. If they lose again they double their bet again and repeat this until they win. Once the player wins they return to their original bet. The Martingale system is traditionally used on even bets. Find out more in our Martingale betting system guide.
