The President was so impressed, touched, and amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a $5.00 bill. President Clinton thought this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy. The little boy was delighted with the $5.00 and sat down to write a thank you note to GOD, which read: Dear GOD, Thank you very much for sending the money, however, I noticed that for some reason you had to send it through Washington D.C. and, as usual, those meanies deducted $95.00. </font></p> <table width="495" border="0" align="center" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td bgcolor="#003366" height="19"> <div align="center"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><b><font color="#CCCCCC"><i><font size="3" color="#FFFFFF">Casino Tip: Blackjack</font></i></font></b></font></div> </td> </tr> </table> <p><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Blackjack was originated in France and is one the most popular casino games in America. The main objective is to get as close to 21 without going over while still beating the dealer's hand. This is done by counting up the value of the cards in your hand. All cards numbered 2 through 10 are at face value. All face cards are valued at 10 while an ace is valued at either 1 or 11 at the player's discretion. Hands containing an ace valued at 11 are considered to be "soft" hands (i.e. A, 6 is a soft 17) while hands containing an ace valued at 1 are considered "hard" hands (i.e. A, 6,Q is a hard 17) A blackjack is an ace and card valued at 10 (10, J, Q, K). A two-card blackjack always beats three or more cards, which equal 21. </font></b></p> <p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><b>Before receiving any cards the player must place a wager. Once the wager is made the player is dealt 2 cards face up. The dealer is also dealt two cards, one face up and the other face down. The dealer's "hole" card remains face down until the player's have completed their hands. At this point the dealer turns over his hole card. If his hand totals a hard 17 through 21 he must stand. If his hand is 16 or under the dealer must continue to take cards until either his hand is over 16 or bust (which means over 21). The dealer must hit on a soft 16. The player has many different betting and playing options... </b></font></p> <hr> <p align="center"><a href="http://www.mapau.com/index.asp?id=mp-readysetgambling-banner&bn=0-mp00113&cid=228" target="_blank"><img src="banners/purchase1_mapau.gif" width="468" height="60" border="0"></a></p> <hr> <p align="center"><b><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a href="http://www.readysetgambling.com" target="_blank"><font color="#000000">home</font></a><font color="#000000"> |</font> <a href="mailto:general@readysetgambling.com?subject=CONTACT"><font color="#000000">contact</font></a></font></b></p> </td> <td background="http://www.readysetgambling.com/images/right.gif"> </td> <td><img src="images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="306" border="0"></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="3"><img name="footer" src="http://www.readysetgambling.com/images/footer.gif" width="700" height="81" border="0" alt="Stay Tuned for our next newsletter!"></td> <td><img src="images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="81" border="0"></td> </tr> </table> <div align="center"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a href="mailto:unsubscribe@readysetgambling.com?subject=REMOVE">click here</a> to unsubscribe<br> <b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1" color="#0000CC"> <style fprolloverstyle> a:hover { text-decoration : none; color : #FF0000; } </style> <!-- START OF WEBTRENDS LIVE TAG --> <!-- Copyright 1999-2000 WebTrends Corporation --> <!-- eCommerce Revenue Tracking (patent pending) --> <!-- Visit us at http://www.webtrendslive.com --> <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- // You may customize the values of the variables below to suit your website. // Simply insert your own values between the double-quotes. // Here are some examples: // var ORDER= "D2,Business to Consumer,Pocket FM Radio,Audio Products,10,499.99;"; // var SERVER= "MyServerName"; // var CONTENTGROUP= "ContentGroupOfThisPage"; var ORDER= ""; var SERVER= ""; var CONTENTGROUP= ""; //--> </script> <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- // Modification of this code is not allowed and will permanently disable your account! // SiteName: Ready Set Gambling var W="tagver=3&SiteId=48532&Sid=002-01-1-18-219102-48532&Tz=-500&firstwkday=monday&Edition=personal&Button=10"; W+="&server="+escape(SERVER); W+="&order="+escape(ORDER); W+="&Group="+escape(CONTENTGROUP); W+="&browserDate="+escape(new Date()); W+="&title="+escape(document.title); W+="&url="+window.document.URL; W+="&referrer="+window.document.referrer; W+="&appname="+escape(navigator.appName); W+="&appversion="+escape(navigator.appVersion); W+="&cookieOK="+(navigator.cookieEnabled?"Yes":"No"); W+="&userLanguage="+(navigator.appName=="Netscape"?navigator.language:navigator.userLanguage); W+="&platform="+navigator.platform; W+="&bgColor="+escape(document.bgColor); W+="&javaOK=Yes"; if(typeof(screen)=="object") { W+="&screenResolution="+screen.width+"x"+screen.height; W+="&colorDepth="+screen.colorDepth; W+="&NSpluginList="; for( var i=0; i< navigator.plugins.length; i++) W+=escape(navigator.plugins[i].name)+";"; } document.write('<A TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://www.webtrendslive.com/redirect.asp?siteID=48532">'); document.write('<IMG BORDER="0" WIDTH="1" HEIGHT="1" SRC="http://statse.webtrendslive.com/S002-01-1-18-219102-48532/button3.asp?'+W+'">'); document.write('</A>'); //--> </script> <noscript> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.webtrendslive.com/redirect.asp?siteID=48532"> <img border="0" width="1" height="1" src="http://statse.webtrendslive.com/S002-01-1-18-219102-48532/button3.asp?tagver=3&SiteId=48532&Sid=001-00-3-10-6692-7351&Tz=-500&firstwkday=monday&Edition=personal&Button=10&title=NO%20SCRIPT&url=http://noscript&javaOK=No&"> </a> </noscript> <!-- END OF WEBTRENDS LIVE TAG --> </font></b> </font></div> <map name="Map"> <area shape="rect" coords="25,8,288,134" href="http://www.readysetgambling.com/" target="_blank"> </map> </body> </html> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
