Introduction To Rake Back Poker

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009
Imteaz Ahmed asked:


A few years ago, one shift that many different poker websites made was the shift to rakeback. Nowadays when you hear about things like the Absolute Poker rakeback or the Betfair rakeback, these are modern manifestations of the shift that happened awhile ago. There are many questions that the average person has about rakeback however and some of them are answered below.

What is Rakeback?

Quite simply, rakeback is a promotion that is offered by many of the online poker websites whereby a person can get a certain percentage of money raked from their hands refunded to them on a weekly or on a monthly basis. Depending on the poker company the percentage varies, but most online poker sites that offer rakeback give you between 15% and 35% of your rake back on a weekly basis.

How do I get rakeback?

In most cases, you need to signup with the website and open a first time real money account using a specific code that you get from affiliates of that poker website. Then, when you have opened the account, you need to send an e-mail to the support staff in order to get your money refunded to you. After you have synced your account to the rakeback machinery of the online poker site, all subsequent rakeback payments should be handled automatically.

How can the site afford rakeback?

This is a very good question and the answer to it that is most direct is that sometimes the site actually can not afford the rakeback. That is to say that the rakeback promotions sometimes end up sending the profit of the website into a loss and that in turn is something that the site can not afford.

However, the goal of rakeback programs is to sign new players up to the service so that later on down the road the word of mouth about the website will get more players to signup without the rakeback stipulations. Poker sites often do not allow rakeback to players after they have already signed up, even if they were ignorant of the rakeback when they did. With this combination of new players and old ones without rakeback, the poker site hopes to recoup any losses they make on their rakeback enabled clients.

Is there a catch?

For the most part, there is no catch. The only catch is something that is not really a catch but rather an obvious necessity and it is that in order to benefit from the rakeback, you need to play at the website in the ring games. This means that an Absolute Poker Rakeback would require you to play Absolute Poker ring games that are raked and of course the same holds true for other sites such as the Betfair Rakeback.

Commercial Fishing Equipment - How To Rake In Profits

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009
Abhishek Agarwal asked:


People do not indulge in fishing only as a hobby it is their main profession and trade also. For those who have taken this as a commercial venture and earn their bread and butter this way, it is important that they have the equipment that goes with commercial fishing. Commercial fishing is big business and fish is a popular food with everyone, be they into sports, or business or restaurant owners. All these individuals, unless of course they buy fish for their own consumption, are into the fishing trade to make money. To ensure that they have a good haul of fish, companies who are into the trade make sure that they have the best kind of equipment that is available in the market. .

The cost of maintaining the equipment

As the fishing equipment is used everyday and in a rough manner to catch thousands of pounds of fish, it has to be strong and of a good quality to withstand this wear and tear. For the safety of the fisherman, and for getting in a good catch, it is important to ensure that they have a sturdy and long lasting quality of equipment and nets. Apart from this the fishing boat should always carry enough spare equipment like heavy duty landing nets, fishing lines, lures, reels, rods and any other tackle that is required, should also be of prime quality.

Commercial fishing is deep sea fishing

Fishing for a commercial purpose is usually done in deep oceanic waters. This is also for the bigger species of fish and for this kind of rough use, the equipment should also be able to withstand the onslaught of the ocean waters and the pull of the big fish. Not only do these fish weigh much more they also put up a big fight when they are caught. If the equipment is of good quality the fisherman also has less of a struggle to haul the fish in. As it is better to take precautions and ensure the safety of the crew, safety jackets are an imperative part of the fishing equipment. Getting the big fish on board is a very difficult task, and life jackets protect the anglers, and also hold him back onto the boat securely.

Those who are using the fishing equipment for commercial purposes should have heavy duty equipment so that it does not give way with the daily load of work and use. If the equipment is well maintained, and also of good quality, it will prevent injury to the users and also loss of money. So if the equipment is of a commercial grade there should not be any problems. Apart from the main fishing equipment even the components and other parts should be of a durable variety. If you want to make sure that you do not loose out on a good catch you have to have all the parts in good working condition.

I am 13 and need to make some money. I am going to rake some yards in the neighborhood, but I don’t know how much to charge. I am only allowed to do front yards for safety reasons. I was thinking $ 15 a yard, but I really have no idea.

What happens if i use a Power Rake on my uncut lawn?

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009
BS9999 asked:


My lawn has grown to 4 inches in height (you can see the grass seeds on their tips). I am eager to just manually rake my lawn to make some of these seeds fall onto my lawn before i mow the entire thing (and bag it). This way i can have a much thicker, greener lawn when these new seeds germinate.

I saw a gas-powered Power rake for rent at my local hardware store which could expedite the process of raking. But my only question is, what happens if i power rake my lawn before it has been cut. Ideally i want to use the power rake to loosen up and make fall these grass seeds before i mow my entire lawn.

Is this ok to do? Wil the power rake not destroy my present lawn because of this outgrowth happening?
