In round robin betting, each player makes one bet per round, and the winner is the player who accumulates the most points at the end of the competition. Everyone else simply collects their winnings. Points are usually awarded based on the outcome of the match, but they can also be earned through consistency or loyalty programs. In this article, we’ll introduce you to the exciting world of round robin betting and show you how to score big on the games you love.
The Basics
To follow along, you’ll need a Facebook account. Just click here to get started. If you already have a Facebook account, you can just click the Facebook logo at the bottom of the blog post to continue. If you don’t have a Facebook account yet, click the button below to create one.
Once you’re on the Facebook page, look for the button that says “Like”. This will open up a section of the page called “News Feed”. Scroll down until you see a post from the Cambridge Analytics team. This is a sponsored post, and it’s trying to get you to click a button to sign up for Cambridge’s email list.
If you’ve followed along thus far without acting on the sponsored content, then great! You’ve already created a Facebook account and are ready to start playing. Let’s get into the nitty-gritty of round robin betting.
How Do I Play?
Once you’re on the Facebook page, you’ll see a button that says “Play”. This will take you to a screen that will allow you to create a new round robin betting account or log into an existing one. You can click the “Sign Up” button to create a new account, or the “Login” button to log into your existing account.
On the left side of the page, you’ll see a header that says “Welcome” and then lists the types of games that are available. To the right of the page, you’ll see a section that says “Get started” with three subheadings: “Pick A Game”, “How Do I Bet?”, and “How Do I Win?”.
The first thing you’ll want to do is click on the “Pick A Game” subheading. This will take you to a page that will let you choose the type of game you want to play (more on this later).
After you’ve clicked on the “Pick A Game” button, you’ll see a table that will list all of the games that Facebook offers. Just click on the name of the game you want to play to view more information. If you want a summary of the game, click on the little black button at the top right of the screen. This will toggle between a play button and a game summary.
If you ever played the slots at a casino, then you’ll know that sometimes they will offer “free spins”. These are bonus rounds that give players extra chances to win. The same concept applies to round robin betting. In this type of game, players are given additional opportunities to earn points through various mechanisms. Some examples include:
- Match Wins: If you win a game, you’ll usually win some additional prizes. Some examples include show money, sportsbooks, and more.
- Daily Goals: You’ll earn points every day for accomplishing certain tasks. Some examples include liking a page, commenting on a post, and more.
- Matching My Friend’s Play: If you match a specified play, you’ll be awarded points. You can search for games your friends have played so that you can match them. This is a popular feature among Facebook gamers.
- Loyalty Program: Certain casinos and poker rooms will give you points for simply playing their games. There are no actual tickets or coins involved, but just about every casino player’s favorite way to earn extra points.
- Refer A Friend: If you refer a friend who ends up playing and making a purchase, you’ll be awarded points. This is another way to earn extra points without having to play against other people.
- Accumulate Points: The more you play, the more you’ll accumulate points. Just remember, though, that you’ll need to keep playing in order to maintain your accrued sum. This, of course, assumes you’re not taking cash out at anytime during the game.
The important thing to keep in mind with these types of games is that you’re not supposed to win or lose based on chance. Instead, you’re supposed to win based on your skill and how well you perform relative to what is expected of you. For example, if you’re playing a poker game and you have the best hand, then you win. If you have a good enough hand, but the other players also have good enough hands, then you tie. In a tie, everyone wins based on how much they bet. It’s all about who connects with whom and how well they do relative to their expectations.
Once you’ve found a game you want to play, click on the “How Do I Bet?” button. This will bring you to a page that will allow you to make a wager. Make sure you read the rules and guidelines carefully before plunging into the thick of it. This will help you avoid any nasty surprises later on (trust me – I’ve been there).
When Do I Play?
This is one of the most important questions to consider before you begin playing. Just because you found a game that you want to play doesn’t mean that you have to rush out and start playing right away. It depends on whether you want to play immediately or wait until a later time. If you want to play right away, then you can, but you’ll have to find a place that allows online gambling (more on this later).
If you want to wait until a later time, then great! You’ll have plenty of time to think about what types of games you want to play and how you want to bet. Just keep in mind that if you wait too long, then you may miss out on some of the more exciting games because the house will have to take them off the floor.
Cash Out
On the left side of the page, you’ll see a cash out button. This will bring you to a page where you can cash out and continue playing on another device or platform. Remember, though, that if you don’t have any points left, then you won’t be able to cash out. In that case, you’d have to either play until you win or lose, or take your chances in an online casino that allows US players.
The important thing to keep in mind is that you must always try your best to maximize your winnings and minimize your losses. Remember the golden rule of gambling: “If you don’t know how to handle money, then get yourself a teacher.” Just kidding – I was only half-kidding. Gambling is a form of entertainment, and learning how to control your bets and not to overextend yourself is essential to having a good time whilst avoiding any unnecessary financial strain. This is why you should always try and maximize your points early on in the game because it is more convenient to do so than to try and catch up later on when you’ve lost all of your winnings. The same concept applies to minimizing your losses – it’s always better to get out early than to try and cover up a large loss at the end.
Winning
If you play and accumulate enough points, then you’ll eventually win a prize. These can range from cash to merchandise to a trip to the casino or poker room. It really depends on the game. Some of the more popular prizes include:
