There are books, Internet websites and word of mouth instructions on how to succeed at keno. I would have no more chance winning annually with these systems than my acquiring a seasonal suntan on Pluto. Truth is, it is difficult to win when over 20% of play returns zero cents, and over 90% of the returns are less than the initial wager Despite the teeniest of return, too many players remain glued to their console committed to pattern and to the habitual. Some players believe machines have tendencies to pay only after hours of continued use. Other players believe a machine must cycle through to a given point before a return is generated. In waiting for cycling and tendencies the player is waiting for the machine to make an adjustment for them.Practically every day I am found contesting a keno machine. I am a good player who does well. I enjoy the keno game because I am capable of winning over the long haul. My success rate is twenty plus percent. Starting with 2013 and continuing forward, I have had 65, 131, 208 and 109 seven spots respectively. The odds in keno are staggering and beyond comprehension. Winning regularly is as opportunistic as finding a copper penny on the ocean floor. I succeed because I recognize the cold machine and move on from it. To recognize is to sample performance. Sampling leads to extended play and prolonged play produced 513 seven spots over forty eight months.“They were undone, destroyed, after all of man’s weapons and devices had failed, by the tiniest creatures.” - H. G. Wells, War of the Worlds.Comparative to the quotation, it is the tiniest of numbers and their corresponding payout that fabricates a substantial impact on any given session. The truancy of the lesser payout makes absent from the greater. The machine, the game and its play will unfurl a story. The question is, are you reading the story? Too many participants keep trudging along; unawares the outcome of their session was set into motion within the first few dollars of play. Machine sampling will change all that. Machine sampling is akin to dipping a toe into water to judge suitability. Machine sampling determines performance. Performance determines play-ability. Play-ability determines staying or leaving. I would rather leave early than endure the agony of prolonged punishment.If, as a dedicated player, you are predisposed to a method, Keno Master will enhance your standard game. If you are accustomed to scant success, The Keno Master will elevate your game with a complete strategy. You will understand and learn the usefulness of pattern clustering, overlapping and board coverage. Furthermore, you will gain knowledge of in game adjustments and its significance for extended play. Ultimately, you shall acquire the daring for exploitative wagering with what the house stingily gives you as token return.

The Irate PiratePetie is a young pirate-in-training until one day…when he begins to doubt that he is cut out for this life. After making a list of pros and cons, Petie realizes his moral dilemma: he cannot steal from others, yet that is exactly what his destiny tells him he must do.Author James Edward Best’s humorous, warm writing in The Irate Pirate helps young readers, ages four to ten, deal with challenges that most of us face: How do we comfortably pursue our dreams when they conflict with the expectations of others? How do we tell our loved ones, friends, peers, and those in authority about our decision and receive their responses? Never preachy, Best offers children not clear-cut answers but ways of examining problems so that they can evaluate and choose the best response for themselves.

The thing about God and His word is that He wants to know you more than you want to know Him. You are the apple of His eye and He takes the time to count the hairs on your head. He sent His angels to protect you and His Holy Spirit to guide you into all truth and understanding. The greatest thing we can realize about what God thinks about us is that He is not mad at you, but He is madly in love with you.

The Irate Pirate The Irate Pirate is a fun, funny, uplifting story written in a way that children aged 4 to 8 will love, and students of all ages will enjoy, and benefit from reading. Its wonderful illustrations make the story come alive, and leave a lasting impression of the story and “what we’ve learned”. Like all the stories from Best Story Alive, there is an important life lesson that rides easily along with the tale.Petie is a “pirate-to-be”, the beloved only child of pirate parents. Growing up in a pirate community, and going to Pirates Training Academy, it seems that Petie’s seafaring future is shiny and bright. EXCEPT, Petie decides that he doesn’t really want to be a pirate. It’s a real-life situation that students often face: how do we follow our dreams when they conflict with the expectations and good intentions of friends, loved ones, and authority figures? Step by step, in an easy, enjoyable way, Petie shows the readers, and reminds us all, how to handle what can often cause children so much stress. And worse (perhaps) is that Petie doesn’t really know what he wants to do, which often happens to children as well. How do we know what our interests are? How can a student find something that will keep him or her engaged and employable? These are challenges all students face, and, often, they lack role models. In The Irate Pirate, Petie provides an approach that is simple, practical and effective. Teaching us the best way to ask for help from others, The Irate Pirate shows students how to handle that, as well. Why another “Pirate Story”? It may help to know its origin. As an avid Words-with-Friends player, the author (whose distant relative, Alfred Butts, invented Scrabble) was stuck with some low-potential letters. “Irate” was the optimal word to spell, and so the play was started. But, as all players know, the only thing worse than a low-point move is, creating an opportunity for your opponent. Looking for a suffix letter that could be played on the “double word” square where “irate” began, the author recognized that a “p” could lead to a high score. But, “irate” and “pirate” don’t complement each other well, compared to “ump” and “pump”. Why? Intrigued by the mismatched words, it seemed a nice book title. Yet, aren’t all pirates irate? But, what if this pirate was young? What could make a young pirate “irate”? Then, The Irate Pirate became so much more than a “cute” book title. The puzzle quickly came to 1. A common, timeless challenge, or two2. A set of valuable coping skills that can be learned in an easy, memorable way3. A realistic role model to help students learn4. Loveable, believable characters that add humor and fun So, Petie came to life. We hope you love him and his story as much as we enjoyed bringing him to you. At Best Story Alive, we create fun stories for living and learning. We believe that education is foundational, and reading is the key building block. Children love to learn, and stories are one of the most effective ways to develop understanding. In our stories, we address real-life challenges such as handling a bully, dealing with disappointment, and trusting ourselves. We feel children are happiest when they are given a chance to do their best, being proud of their unique qualities, and accepting the common experience of being human.
