Two-ropes jumping


Inspired by a movie I decided to show you completely bizzare sport that will get your attention-the two -ropes jumping. This revolutionary new sport is becoming more famous each day and the fun thing is that it's completely freestyle. The sport comes from a mixture of freerun and rope jumping in the schools. It's so extraordinary that recently it took some awards in sport competitions. As you probably guess it all started In Japan and US as a game between kids. As a completely new sport it's history is very short and it will be developed in the future but people are looking for it with enthusiasm and it increases popularity.





As our blog is interested in the sport and it's development, we will post more about that kind of "weird" activities.

Poker Face and Confidence isn't always enough














Poker Face and Confidence isn't always enough, it almost always comes to the cards you are holding. And thet is exactly what Oliver Hudson would tell you as he lost 10,000 bucks from the first hand of the event and got home with nothing. Oliver Hudson got two 10s at first and then the dealer put and two Aces and a 10 so Oliver Hudson was sure that he would win, but surprize surprize! His opponent had and Ace and a 10 which makes higher Full House! After raising a few times they bouth got to all in so Hudson's opponent won doubleling his money from 10,000 to 20,000 bucks! So Hudson's poker face and confidence didn't helped him at all.



Offroad Race



Offroad races are sport in which the competitors use vesicles to pass trough rough terrain and the driver with best time wins the game. In this races is too hard to participate because you need very good preparation. In this races the road which players use is formed from the nature and not touched from the human mashines because of this the trucks are as a suprice for the racers which can not predict if there wasn't a change in the truck from the last time when they made trainning. Also when you drive on ground the cars can not make a curve so easy and if you don't stop on time your car can fly to the nearest forest. In this races there is other technique for taking the curves. It is to roud the wheel in the opposite side from the curve below but in faster way. This would help the car to save stability and if the speed is too high you would not crash. Because there are no borders to the tracks racers use systems as gps to show them the shortest way. Also in this races the major factor takes the weather. It changes realy fast and unpredictable and the meteroologists a lot of times make mistakes which can cause one team to loose and others win. This major factor makes this sport interesting because new teams win the races. So every team needs his own predictor who decides about what types of wheels to put on the vehicle and what type of settings to put to the car. Drivers also are big factor about everything because when they take risks they could be faster or loose control of the vehicle sometimes which can cause them big damages to the vehicle or something that is more bad their own death. Because of the short wide of the truck cars start at different time and then is calculated which is the fastest car. Trucks are made in forest region where the teritory is much bigger. Also desserts are used for common trucks because racers would not damage the nature and would not cause problem of the enviroment.
There are a few types of offroad races. I would tell you about three of them: motocycle, offroad cars and trucks. All this vehicles are specialised to the conditions on the truck with higher air cushion which are stronger and don't break from the higher pressure which they get from the rough terrain and the high speed. The motocycle race is usually with borders and artificial hills on which racers jump. The race with cars are with two competitors in a team. The first one is the driver and the coordinator which tells the right way. Some people are saying that the coordinaor is unhelpfull but this is not true becuase someone needs too follow always the right way. Sometimes the in offroad are combined with normal tracks. The races with trucks are also very interesting because undependantly from the big mass of the vehicle they have very big engines which gives them very good speed. The trucks are very hard to control because of the size and the road. Watch it to see the real shiver.

United claimed on top again after a win over Fulham with 3:0

"Manchester United beated Fulham with 3:0. Rooney scored twice and Berbatov scored at the end of the match to shape the final score. United were the team who totally dominated through the whole match, even though they didn't score at the first half. at the 10th minute Berbatov made a through pass to Fletcher who tried to pass to Rooney, but didn't succeeded. 10 minutes later Berbatov tried a very interesting shot but the ball went out. At the 38th minute Fulham showed their teeth and Boby Zamora tried to shoot but his shot went high of the bar.

The second half begun with immediate pressure and Nani passed to Rooney who scored his 24th foal in Premier League this season. Fulham tried to push their opponents but unsuccessful. At 84th minute Berbatov amazingly went through two Fulham defenders went deeply and passed to Rooney who didn't miss to score again. After 5 minutes Park crossed and Berbatov was there to score with a header and to shape the final result 3:0. With this win Manchester United are back on the first place with two points more than Chelsea, but a match more.

Sevilla - CSKA Moskva

Sevilla and CSKA are considered to be the outsiders in the Champions League. Their last game was in Moscow where they felt the Russan cold weather. The temperature was under 0 degrees. Sevilla are most likely to continue after this stage of the elimination stage. Both teams have played great during they last 50 games and in fact their statistics show that the percentages of games won/draw/lost are almost equal. Sevilla have bigger chance to classify after they managed to score a goal in Moscow. The Russans had a bigger chance in Moscow, because they are used to the colder Russian temperatures. Although they had a much bigger chance in Moscow, Sevilla scored a goal and the result was draw. Now both teams have to fight till the end for each single inch of the soccer field. The chances for the teams are 50-50, but the sport journalists say that Sevilla will continue to the next phase.

Rules of Texas Hold'em

Texas Hold'em is one of the most popular branches of poker. I will explain the rules of this game below.
/For the strenght of each hand refer here/

0. Overall structure - the overall structure of Texas Hold'em, although more complex than most of the other branches, is realatively simple - each player has two cards and can combine them with five cards that are dealt on the table for everyone to use. Here is the order the game follows:
  1. Players pay blinds (see below)
  2. Each player is dealt two cards
  3. Players place bets
  4. The flop is dealt - 3 cards are dealt on the table
  5. Players place bets
  6. The turn is dealt - 1 more card is dealt on the table
  7. Players place bets
  8. The river is dealt - 1 last card is dealt on the table
  9. Players place beys
  10. The showdown takes place - the players show their cards and the winner is determined; If there is only one player left at any point of the hand he may not show his cards.
0.1 Before dealing the flop, turn, and river the dealer burns the next card in the deck (removes it from play). It is more of a tradition in modern days, as in the past it was used to prevent people from seeing marked cards that would be played next. Today it still serves the same purpose, although the risk of marked cards is greatly smaller.

1. Blinds - Almost always hold'em is played with blinds - forced bets that first two players to the left of the dealer (the dealer is represented by a dealer button since players are not allowed to deal themselves in order to prevent cheating) pay before recieving their cards. The first person to the left of the dealer usually pays half the amout the secon pays. When only to people remain playing the person with the dealer chip pays the small blind. In poker tournaments, the blinds are gradually raised.

2. Bets - Players bet clockwise starting from the dealer. Depending of the type of hold'em there are several possibilities for bets :
2.1 Limit Hold'em - before the flop and after the flop, have to bet equal to the big blind (this bet is known as small bet). After the flop players have to bet twise the big blind (known as big bet)
2.2 No Limit Hold'em - players can bet any amount of their chips as long this amount is higher or the same as the big blind. If someone reraises they must raise at least the amount of the previous raise. When somebody bets all his chips it is called 'all-in'. When all players are in all-in they usually reveal their cards.
2.3 Pot Limit Hold'em - the maximum raise is the amount of the current pot.

3. Kickers - since shared cards are used kickers are used to determine the stronger hand. A kicker is a card not used in determening the hand's rank, but if there are two hands with the same strenght, the hand with the higher cards wins.

4.Ties - if two people have exactly the same hands a tie is called and this players split the pot

Chelsea with desperate need of at least 1 goal against Inter


Chelsea against Inter will be the derby match of the 1/8 finals in the Champions League in the night of the 17th of March. In the first leg Inter managed to win the match with 2-1 which gives equal chances for both team to continue to the next stage. If Chelsea wins by 1-0 they will be the team to continue so Inter have to be very careful with the team's preformance at the field. As you probably know Jose Mourinho will return to "Stanford Bridge" now coach in Inter and this event will bring more emotions to both teams. Everyone knows how strong are both teams so I think that the teams performance iver the last couple of months should not be commented except for the last games of the clubs. Chelsea made an easy win against West Ham with 4-1 and again Didie Drogba played a fantastic role in the team and scored 2 goals. In the other hand Inter lost their game against the team Of Catania with 3-1 and that was a huge surprise for the fans of the team. But now the upcoming match against Chelsea will be an opportunity to get back on the right path with a win which will be amazing but at the same time very hard. Because of Chelsea's performance and teamplays I expect an easy with for the blues from London with 2-0 or 3-0 with at least 1 goal scored by Drogba.
