NRL draw gets harder

As the NRL season moves to Round 2, NRL Results and ladder position will get harder as teams try to remain confident and deal with the new interchange rule that only allows 10 substitutions rather than the previous 12 allowed in 2007.

Souths found the going tought, as coach Jason Taylor admitted his side cannot score enough points. The Bulldogs were brave and did enough to get themselves home after trailing for much of the Round 2, 2008 game in Sydney. ANZ Stadium was abuzz as the Dogs got themselves to their first win of the year, muscling the bigger Souths pack and getting some nice momentum for Round 3.

The 2007 eventual NRL Premiership winners the Melbourne Storm have trotted out nicely this year, accounting for the NZ Warriors in their home Monday Night Football game in front of a healthy 20,000 crowd - Victorians coming out to support the Rugby League nicely.

As always early NRL Results are all important as teams look to put some points in the bag early to not only get them to a good ladder position and gain confidence, but it does make things easier at the back end of the season when the Footy is tough and playing talent might be scarce through injury concerns.

Winning well and winning early is the key to overall NRL success.

NRL 2008 Underway

The kick-off has been and gone. The NRL 2008 Rugby League season is now underway with only a single game left for Round 1 already.

With most of the NRL Results already recorded for this round, some surprises already - with the Cronulla Sharks gritty in their defence based win over the high flying Manly footy side at Brookvale Oval. The Parramatta Eels turned on some stylish late play to beat Rugby League warhorses the Bulldogs in a spiteful clash.

Confidence is key and League teams need to get their first wins up early to get a snowball effect going and keep things on track for a Top 8 Semi Final finish.

The final game of NRL Round 1 sees the Vodafone NZ Warriors away to the Melboune Storm at the Telstra Dome.

Play it smart with Resumes

Getting a job in most cases is a tricky affair. Everyone wants to be the high roller with the big pay cheque. However, don't forget the fact that the resume or CV plays a huge part in even getting you to the interview stage.

Forget the skills or experience part too. While naturally they place some part, if your resume isn't well presented and setup correctly - you'll fail at first base most times. HR managers and employer review panels will toss your application straight into the trash!

How to make a resume work? Well firstly it's all about getting maximum say for little space, you want to give the reader plenty of your good points in a small amount of space. If things get too long, generally the reader gets bored and tosses it. Having a photo is always a good idea, a small portrait of your face on the first page is a smart move. (If you're shockingly ugly, maybe shy away from this part and get a good make over come interview day) Interviews are a different story and can be hard to do on their own. (More on successful job interviews in our next article) However, setting yourself apart in the resume is critical to making your resume work.

Be smart, be unique and if possible get help - pay to have your resume cleaned up or presented professionally

Smart Blackjack Strategy

Smart Blackjack Strategy:

Many stats guru's have worked out that by utilizing a solid blackjack strategy will start taking away most of the casino's house advantage. When computers came along, blackjack folks were able to start simulating many-millions of blackjack hands in virtual games, using the computer and the data results to develop what is now known as blackjack basic strategy.

Smart or Basic blackjack strategy is based on this statistical analysis and the fact that the player may choose to double down or split when favorable, and gets paid 3:2 for blackjack. In basic strategy the dealer must adhere to the rules and stand on 17 and above, cannot double down or split and only gets paid 1:1 for blackjack.

It is a fact that the dealer has more than a 35% chance of busting if their face-up card is a 3, 4, 5 or 6. So in this case, if you have a total of 13 to 16 you should stand, as the dealer has a good chance of busting (as do you, but you can choose not to hit whereas the dealer must hit with the same total). However, if the dealer has a 7, 8, 9, 10 or Ace, you should take another card, as there is a high probability that the dealer's face down card is a 10, and their hand will beat you.
