merchandisers know we're
often too lazy
to open up a package and
fish just one
bottle of water they also
know many
consider it a good idea to
take the
whole package for later use
spraying
water on veggies there are
two reasons
why fruits and vegetables
get regular
Springs with water to make
them look
pretty and to add weight to
them so that
they end up costing you
more checkout
lines are designed to tempt
you all
those shiny magazines
candies gums and
gadgets are in the checkout
line because
grocery store owners know
that you'll be
forced to stare at them
while you wait
for your turn admit it
you've grabbed something
from the
checkout line at some point
I know you
did they don't close after
failing
inspection have you ever
seen a
supermarket shut down after
failing an
inspection yeah didn't
think so while
grocery stores do get
inspected they're
under no obligation to
close down and
clean things up after they
fail largely
because health departments
are
short-staffed and too
focused on
restaurants
shelves are stocked
strategically you're
more likely to purchase the
items you
see first so the most
expensive items
are usually at eye level
with the less
expensive ones on the top
and bottom
shelves checkout lines are
cramped on
purpose after talking
yourself out of
buying some unnecessary
product you take
it out of your cart only to
realize
there's nowhere to put it
so you just
end up buying it anyway
shopping carts are really
filthy in all
your time spent at the
grocery store you
have undoubtedly seen staff
collecting
wayward carts but have you
ever seen
anyone claiming them me
neither
well now you're fully
prepared to do
your grocery shopping right
secrets
casinos don't want you to
know the house
always wins
in some cases the house is
way more
likely to win than in
others games such
as three-card poker
Caribbean stud and
double-exposure blackjack
may have
bigger payouts but they
also have much
bigger losses for the
players you are
being watched
they're keeping an eye on
you always
casinos have cameras
everywhere and they
track your movements the
entire time
they can even see the hand
you're
holding hygiene issues
always wash your
hands after handling chips
they're
disgustingly dirty just
wash your hands
they know when you're
cheating Oh trust
me they know for example
two guys seldom
sit right next to each
other while
playing blackjack if they
do it might be
a sign that they're
secretly switching
cards they're just trying
to make one
strong hand and it happens
in casinos
all the time
dealer special outfits
dealers usually
have to wear clothing
issued by the
casino it doesn't have
pockets so that
nothing can be hidden or
stolen debt
crisis the average gambling
addict is
around $40,000 in debt
before they seek
help tracking time there
aren't clocks
or windows in most casinos
if you're
focused on your game and
have no idea
what time it is you're far
more likely
to stay longer listen to
the dealer if
they tell you a table is no
good
they aren't lying they have
nothing to
lose by offering you this
useful free
information slot machines
are like
arcades you're paying to
play and look
at the fancy lights keep in
mind that
the fancier the machine the
more likely
the game will be
complicated and they
generally offer fewer
payoffs play at
fuller tables the more
people per table
the slower the game goes and
the more
time you have to think this
is
particularly helpful if
you've got the
basics of the game and need
a chance to
practice strategy casino
drinks everyone
gets free drinks even those
who play the
penny slots if you play for
long enough
just keep in mind that most
of these
drinks are watered down and
the less
you're spending the more
infrequent
they'll be
slot placement isn't random
usually the
highest yielding slots are
placed in the
most popular locations in
the casino the
most popular slots are also
placed in
these areas to attract
people into the
casino to play you can't
win it slots in
the long run slots are
manufactured and
programmed in a way to
ensure that they
only pay back a certain
percentage of
the money that players put
into them
this is usually in the
seventy to ninety
percent range but it can be
far worse or
better depending on where
you're playing
all of your moves are being
tracked this
information is collected
analyzed and
put into reports sent to
the casinos
marketing department this
is so that
they can work out the best
possible way
to market their casino and
slots to you
so that you keep coming
back to play
more well apparently what
happens in
Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas
so now you know secrets
cruise ships
don't want you to know the
ship won't
wait for you really know if
you're not a
big fan of group tours and
decide to
explore a port of call on
your own be
aware that the ship will
not wait for
you if you're late pirate
attacks still
exist no pirates aren't
just in the
movies they do exist and
attacks happen
all the time in 2008 more
than 130
merchant ships were
attacked by Somali
pirates in the Gulf of Aden
I don't
think they say are though
the right
cabin to choose lower deck
cabins are
prone to noise from the
engine motion
and anchor being dropped
several times a
day and upper deck
accommodations may
offer Sun roofs and more
peace and quiet
but they're also pricier
and seasickness
is more intense there where
does the
waste go once a ship is
three miles away
from land it can dump human
waste into
the ocean which is really
bad if you're
trying to water-ski behind
the
just kidding arrests on
board sure you
might be in international
waters but you
can still be arrested in
fact all cruise
ships have sells for unruly
passengers
you better behave buddy the
earlier you
book the better just as you
find when
booking air tickets the
sooner you book
a cruise the more likely
you are to
score a great deal the best
deals are
offline
booking online is a
convenience that few
can resist
that's why cruise lines
typically keep
some of their best
discounts off their
websites if you want a good
deal
just call the perks of room
service
believe it or not room
service on board
a cruise ship is most often
free check
and see if it is then make
use of it
last-minute deals although
it's not
common it is possible to
book one heck
of a last-minute deal on a
cruise if you
have the flexibility then
keep your
options open consider all
options one
look at the fares for a
luxury cruise
lines and you'll be picking
your job off
the floor but consider
what's included
in their fares and then
compare that to
what you'd be paying
between your fare
and services with a non
luxury line the
result might really
surprise you
ok now I'm off to plan my
next cruise
where am I gonna go huh
definitely far
away from the Pirates

MAGIX biggest Secrets
Revealed
horizontal levitation you
must have seen
one of the oldest illusions
in history
the magician's assistant
magically
floating in mid-air ever
wanted to know
the secret behind this
trick well
there's always some kind of
support or
reinforcement underneath
person cut in
half
another classic the
magician puts his
assistant in a big box and
then saws it
in half the assistant is
supposedly
severed in two but their
legs are still
moving the real magic here
is that there
are actually two assistants
inside the
box smoke rising from your
hand ever see
this trick a magician
basically shoots
out clouds of smoke with
his hands how
is it possible all you need
is a
matchbox simply burn its
striking strip
place the phosphorus
residue on your
fingers and then rub your
fingers
together restoring a torn
dollar bill
the magician folds a dollar
bill twice
tears off a cover and then
restores it
with no holes whatsoever
here's how he
does it though the magician
appears to
rip off a corner of the
bill he only
makes a small tear and then
folds the
flap back and out of sight
after
pretending to throw away
that torn piece
he secretly flips the bent
flap back
into place so that the bill
appears to
be intact are you gonna try
this one
[Music]
dove from a hat
the magician waves his
hands above the
Hat and moments later a
dove flies out
of it how is it possible
all you need is
a special table the surface
the Hat is
placed on is specially made
and has a
hidden opening through
which an object
stored in a hidden
compartment in the
table can be pulled out
bending a spoon to
successfully perform
this trick you first need
to hide a
small silver coin in the
palm of your
hand since the tip of the
coin will
still be showing it'll look
like the
spoon is actually starting
to bend David
Copperfield's disappearing
Statue of
Liberty on live television
in 1983
David Copperfield made the
Statue of
Liberty disappear here's
the trick what
the audience didn't know is
that they
were actually positioned on
a giant lazy
susan after the audience
initially
looked at the Statue they
slowly rotated
around to a point where it
was no longer
visible walking on water
what's the
secret behind this divine
trick well
again it's a cleverly
hidden support
mechanism that's why the
magicians who
perform it often stand in a
way which
perfectly conceals the end
of the staff
or rod that has an extended
support
passing through their
clothes the
guillotine here's an
explanation on how
it's possible while the upper
part of
the guillotine has a real
blade the
lower part has secret
compartments they
prevent the blade from
reaching the
magician's neck while a
trapdoor allows
his head and shoulders to
drop out of
sight as the blade falls
zigzag box in
this trick the assistant
steps into a
cabinet and then the middle
section of
the box is pushed out of
alignment
here's how its performed
the assistance
simply steps out of the
vertical box
turns sideways flattens her
body and
then extends one hand
behind her to wave
through the hole in the
display section
of the box do you still
believe in magic
secret airports don't want
you to know
the golden our airports
know when you're
most likely to spend money
the golden
hour is that hour or so you
have to kill
before you get on board and
you're most
likely to hit the duty-free
shops during
this time your smartphone
won't bring
down to play even though
they ask you to
turn it off a cellphone has
never caused
a plane crash will you turn
it off the
next time you fly every
airplane has
weird objects on board
flight attendants
even have access to a pair
of handcuffs
so that they can restrain
anyone causing
a disturbance it wasn't me
a single line puts us at
ease well the
line for check-in and
security may seem
absurdly long having just one
actually
lower stress levels
according to
psychologists a single line
increases
the perceived sense of
fairness no one
worries that the other line
is going
faster than theirs always
wash your
hands after going through
security a
recent report stated that
filthy
security bins are likely to
carry cold
causing viruses the trees
reportedly
carry even more germs than
airport
toilets which scientists
found to be
surprisingly clean your
pilot is more
tired than you think
pilots can only be in the
air for up to
eight hours in a 24 hour
cycle although
they're required to get
eight hours of
rest most pilots don't
spend all that
time sleeping duty-free
items aren't
always cheaper if you're
shopping in a
duty-free store because you
think you're
getting a better deal think
twice in
fact some duty-free shops
actually
charge duty fees however
items like
alcohol and tobacco usually
do sell for
much less than those in non
airport
stores flight attendants
don't dim the
cabin lights to relax you
they actually
dim the cabin lights to
ensure your eyes
adjust to the darkness if
something goes
wrong
you'll want to be able to
see in the
dark are you ready to take
a nap you'll
pay more to exchange
currency at the
airport in fact the rate
can be anywhere
from seven to fifteen percent
worse than
what you'd pay online or at
a local bank
chicken last to get your
bag faster upon
arrival the last in first
out policy is
a good thing here if you're
one of the
final people in line to
check in your
bag should be one of the
last to be put
on the plane and thus the
first off when
you reach your destination
by and fly on
certain days the cheapest
days to fly
are Tuesdays and Saturdays
since there
are fewer businesspeople
traveling on
these days
packing hand sanitizer is
crucial many
services in a plane have
more germs than
a toilet seat according to
one flight
attendant tray tables get
cleaned once
per day the crew only
replaces blankets
and pillows for the first
flight of the
day if at all hmm you're
owed
compensation if your
baggage is damaged
or delayed passengers don't
often take
full advantage of the
compensation
they're out if your luggage
is delayed
the airline is obliged to
reimburse you
for any essentials such as
toiletries
and underwear if your bag
is lost or
damaged airline should
offer money
towards repairing or
replacing the
contents I knew I should
have been
stricter with them I
secrets hotels
don't want you to know you
can lose your
room to someone with status
hotels just
like Airlines sometimes
over booked to
minimize lost revenue from
unsold rooms
and if you're low on the
totem pole you
could find yourself being
escorted to
another property your free
breakfast
isn't really free is that
plate of eggs
and waffles really free the
cost of the
meal is simply bundled into
the price of
your room nothing in life
is free the
drinking glasses only look
spotless the
water glass is sitting by
the sink in
your room
might be sparkling for all
the wrong
reasons housekeepers might
just be
rinsing them off and drying
them with a
towel recommendations are
biased cozier
jizz can get a kick back
for every
person they send to a
certain restaurant
which means they could be
steering you
to certain places only to
line their
pockets not because they
have great food
are you still going to ask
them for
advice on where to go the
bidding might
be dirty many hotels don't
wash all the
bedding between guests
although sheets
are laundered regularly
bedspreads and
blankets are cleaned less
frequently
keep your shoes or socks on
most hotel
room floors are carpeted
meaning they
can hold lots of dirt dust
and bacteria
and as you can probably
guess the
cleaning staff don't always
clean really
well a pillow menu if
you're a
particular about the pillow
you need to
sleep on some hotels offer
a pillow menu
for you to choose from just
ask about it
ties with the police almost
all hotels
good or bad have a strong
relationship
with the local police it's
nothing
against their guests staff
explained
it's just where lots of
people
congregate problems do
arise smart
cancellations if you want
to cancel
last-minute but don't want
to lose your
deposit call the hotels
front desk and
move your booking to a few
days later
wait a few hours then call
back and ask
that cancel the reservation
ooh
very sly cheaper bookings
never book
through a third party the
walk-in rate
is usually cheaper
especially depending
on the time of day later is
better and
booking directly is almost
always
cheaper rooms are more
expensive in the
morning make your
reservation just after
6:00 p.m. this is when all
the no-show
reservations that were
secured by credit
cards are freed up
reconsider using the
coffee machine
who knows what the previous
guests did
with the coffeemaker
cigarette butts vomit and
urine are
often hidden in coffee
makers and ice
buckets and the contents
are often
dumped out and nothing more
kind of wish
I hadn't heard that the
best time to
call the front desk
don't call the front desk
with a special
request between 9 a.m. and
1 p.m.
chances aren't they'll be
busy with a
long line of guests waiting
to check out
or in and we'll just want
to get you off
the phone choose a hotel
you've already
been to if you travel
frequently to the
same area use the same
hotel each time
get to know the staff
regulars are
recognized and treated as
VIPs and may
get free upgrades discounts
and more
know isn't always better
free options when you check
into a hotel
find out what's free and
what's not you
can quickly run up your
bill if you
don't realize that some
services are
already included pay
attention to the
bellman the Bell man is
typically
connected to anyone tip
them generously
and they can help you in
all sorts of
ways consider them your
one-stop shop
for hotel services
available rooms rooms
are often available even
when the hotel
has no vacancies in many
large hotels a
few rooms are designated as
out of order
at any given time are you
gonna be
smarter next time you
check-in secrets
supermarkets don't want you
to know a
big cart this is a well
known trick to
coerce us into buying more
stuff than we
actually need the bigger the
cart the
more stuff you want to put
in it they're
designed to make you buy
more many
stores are arranged so that
customers go
counterclockwise we always
turn left and
most frequently look at the
middle of
the wall to the right
exactly where
merchandisers put the most
expensive
goods
small tiles on the floor
carts make much
more noise on smaller tiles
so we slowed
down to avoid it this makes
us spend
more time at the store
taking a good
look at everything and
probably buying
more a red tag for the same
price we
tend to associate a red
price tag with a
reduced cost even though
that's not
always the case the price
may be the
same and the tag is just a
bright piece
of paper selling twice as
much have you
ever wondered why people in
gum
commercials always take two
pieces at a
time that's a trick to make
you think
it's the correct weighted
to it they
take advantage of your
laziness
merchandisers know we're
often too lazy
to open up the package and
fish just one
bottle of water they also
know many
consider it a good idea to
take the

part of the
guillotine has a real blade
the lower
part has secret
compartments they
prevent the blade from
reaching the
magician's neck while a
trapdoor allows
his head and shoulders to
drop out of
sight as the blade falls
zigzag box in
this trick the assistant
steps into a
cabinet and then the middle
section of
the box is pushed out of
alignment
here's how its performed
the assistance
simply steps out of the
vertical box
turns sideways flattens her
body and
then extends one hand
behind her to wave
to the hole in the display
section of
the box do you still
believe in magic
secret airports don't want
you to know
the gold in our airports
know when
you're most likely to spend
money the
golden hour is that hour or
so you have
to kill before you get on
board and
you're most likely to hit
the duty-free
shops during this time your
smartphone
won't bring down to play
even though
they ask you to turn it off
a cellphone
has never caused a plane
crash will you
turn it off the next time
you fly every
airplane has weird objects
on board
flight attendants even have
access to a
pair of handcuffs so that
they can
restrain anyone causing a
disturbance it
wasn't me a single line
puts us at ease
well the line for check-in
and security
may seem absurdly long
having just one
actually lower stress
levels according
to psychologists a single
line increases
the perceived sense of fairness
no one
worries that the other line
is going
faster than theirs always
wash your
hands after going through
security a
recent report stated that
filthy
security bins are likely to
carry cold
causing viruses the trees
reportedly
carry even more germs than
airport
toilets which scientists
found to be
surprisingly clean your
pilot is more
tired than you think
pilots can only be in the
air for up to
eight hours in a 24 hour
cycle although
they're required to get
eight hours of
rest most pilots don't
spend all that
time sleeping duty-free
items aren't
always cheaper if you're
shopping in a
duty-free store because you
think you're
getting a better deal think
twice
in fact some duty-free
shops actually
charge duty fees however
items like
alcohol and tobacco usually
do sell for
much less than those in non
airport
stores flight attendants
don't dim the
cabin lights to relax you
they actually dim the cabin
lights to
ensure your eyes adjust to
the darkness
if something goes wrong
you'll want to be able to
see in the
dark are you ready to take
a nap you'll
pay more to exchange
currency at the
airport in fact the rate
can be anywhere
from seven to fifteen
percent worse than
what you'd pay online or at
a local bank
chicken last to get your
bag faster upon
arrival the last end first
out policy is
a good thing here if you're
one of the
final people in line to
check in your
bag should be one of the
last to be put
on the plane and thus the
first off when
you reach your destination
by and fly on certain days
the cheapest
days to fly are Tuesdays
and Saturdays
since there are fewer
businesspeople
traveling on these days
packing hand
sanitizer is crucial many
services in a
plane have more germs than
a toilet seat
according to one flight
attendant tray
tables get cleaned once per
day the crew
only replaces blankets and
pillows for
the first flight of the day
if at all
hmm you're owed
compensation if your
baggage is damaged or
delayed passengers
don't often take full
advantage of the
compensation they're owed
if your luggage is delayed
the airline
is obliged to reimburse you
for any
essentials such as
toiletries and
underwear if your bag is
lost or damaged
airline should offer money
towards
repairing or replacing the
contents I
knew I should have been
stricter with
them I secrets hotels don't
want you to
know you can lose your room
to someone
with status hotels just
like Airlines
sometimes over booked to
minimize lost
revenue from unsold rooms
and if you're
low on the totem pole you
could find
yourself being escorted to
another
property your free
breakfast isn't
really free is that plate
of eggs and
waffles really free the
cost of the meal
is simply bundled into the
price of your
room nothing in life is
free the
drinking glasses only look
spotless the
water glasses sitting by
the sink in
your room
might be sparkling for all
the wrong
reasons housekeepers might
just be
rinsing them off and drying
them with a
towel recommendations are
biased
concierge is can get a
kickback for
every person they send to a
certain
restaurant which means they
could be
steering you to certain
places only to
line their pockets not
because they have
great food are you still
going to ask
them for advice on where to
go the
bidding might be dirty many
hotels don't
wash all the bedding
between guests
although sheets are
laundered regularly
bedspreads and blankets are
cleaned less
frequently keep your shoes
or socks on
most hotel room floors are
carpeted
meaning they can hold lots
of dirt dust
and bacteria and as you can
probably
guess the cleaning staff
don't always
clean really well a pillow
menu if
you're a particular about
the pillow you
need to sleep on some
hotels offer a
pillow menu for you to
choose from just
ask about it ties with the
police almost
all hotels good or bad have
a strong
relationship with the local
police it's
nothing against their
guests staff
explained it's just where
lots of people
congregate problems do
arise smart
cancellations if you want
to cancel
last-minute but don't want
to lose your
deposit call the hotels
front desk and
move your booking to a few
days later
wait a few hours then call
back and ask
to cancel the reservation
ooh very sly
cheaper bookings never book
through a
third party the walk-in
rate is usually
cheaper especially
depending on the time
of day later is better and
booking
directly is almost always
cheaper rooms
are more expensive in the
morning make
your reservation just after
6:00 p.m.
this is when all the
no-show
reservations that were
secured by credit
cards are freed up
reconsider using the
coffee machine
who knows what the previous
guests did
with the coffeemaker
cigarette butts vomit and
urine are
often hidden in coffee
makers and ice
buckets and the contents
are often
dumped out and nothing more
kind of wish
I hadn't heard that the
best time to
call the front desk
don't call the front desk
with a special
request between 9 a.m. and
1 p.m.
chances aren't they'll be
busy with a
long line of guests waiting
to check out
or in and we'll just want
to get you off
the phone
choose a hotel you've
already been to if
you travel frequently to
the same area
use the same hotel each
time get to know
the staff regulars are
recognized and
treated as VIPs and may get
free
upgrades discounts and more
new isn't
always better free options
when you
check into a hotel
find out what's free and
what's not you
can quickly run up your
bill if you
don't realize that some
services are
already included pay
attention to the
bellman the Bell man is
typically
connected to anyone tip
them generously
and they can help you in
all sorts of
ways consider them your
one-stop shop
for hotel services
available rooms rooms
are often available even
when the hotel
has no vacancies in many
large hotels a
few rooms are designated as
out of order
at any given time are you
gonna be
smarter next time you
check-in secrets
supermarkets don't want you
to know a
big cart this is a well
known trick to
coerce us into buying more
stuff than we
actually need the bigger
the cart the
more stuff you want to put
in it they're
designed to make you buy
more many
stores are arranged so that
customers go
counterclockwise we always
turn left and
most frequently look at the
middle of
the wall to the right
exactly where
merchandisers put the most
expensive
goods
small tiles on the floor
carts make much
more noise on smaller tiles
so we slowed
down to avoid it this makes
us spend
more time at the store
taking a good
look at everything and
probably buying
more a red tag for the same
price we
tend to associate a red
price tag with a
reduced cost even though
that's not
always the case the price may
be the
same and the tag is just a
bright piece
of paper selling twice as
much have you
ever wondered why people in
gum
commercials always take two
pieces at a
time that's a trick to make
you think
it's the correct weighted
to it they
take advantage of your
laziness
merchandisers know we're
often too lazy
to open up the package and
fish just one
bottle of water they also
know many
consider it a good idea to
take the
whole package for later use
spraying
water on veggies there are
two reasons
why fruits and vegetables
get regular
Springs with water to make
them look
pretty and to add weight to
them so that
they end up costing you
more checkout
lines are designed to tempt
you all
those shiny magazines
candies gums and
gadgets are in the checkout
line because
grocery store owners know
that you'll be
forced to stare at them
while you wait
for your turn admit it
you've grabbed something
from the
checkout line at some point
I know you
did they don't close after
failing
inspection have you ever
seen a
supermarket shut down after
failing an
inspection yeah didn't
think so while
grocery stores do get
inspected they're
under no obligation to
close down and
clean things up after they
fail largely
because health departments
are
short-staffed and too
focused on
restaurants
shelves are stocked
strategically you're
more likely to purchase the
items you
see first so the most
expensive items
are usually at eye level
with the less
expensive ones on the top
and bottom
shelves checkout lines are
cramped on
purpose
after talking yourself out
of buying
some unnecessary product
you take it out
of your cart only to
realize there's
nowhere to put it so you
just end up
buying it anyway
shopping carts are really
filthy in all
your time spent at the
grocery store you
have undoubtedly seen staff
collecting
wayward carts but have you
ever seen
anyone claiming them me
neither
well now you're fully
prepared to do
your grocery shopping right
secrets
casinos don't want you to
know the house
always wins
in some cases the house is
way more
likely to win than in
others games such
as three-card poker
Caribbean stud and
double-exposure blackjack
may have
bigger payouts but they
also have much
bigger losses for the
players you are
being watched
they're keeping an eye on
you always
casinos have cameras everywhere
and they
track your movements the
entire time
they can even see the hand
you're
holding hygiene issues
always wash your
hands after handling chips
they're
disgustingly dirty just
wash your hands
they know when you're
cheating Oh trust
me they know for example
two guys seldom
sit right next to each
other while
playing blackjack if they
do it might be
a sign that they're
secretly switching
cards they're just trying
to make one
strong hand and it happens
in casinos
all the time
dealers special outfits
dealers usually
have to wear clothing
issued by the
casino it doesn't have
pockets so that
nothing can be hidden or
stolen debt
crisis the average gambling
addict is
around $40,000 in debt
before they seek
help tracking time there
are clocks or
windows in most casinos if
you're
focused on your game and
have no idea
what time it is you're far
more likely
to stay longer listen to
the dealer if
they tell you a table is no
good they
aren't lying they have
nothing to lose
by offering you this useful
free
information slot machines
are like
arcades you're paying to
play and look
at the fancy lights keep in
mind that
the fancier the machine the
more likely
the game will be
complicated and they
generally offer a fewer
payoffs play at
fuller tables the more
people per table
the slower the game goes
and the more
time you have to think this
is
particularly helpful if
you've got the
basics of the game and need
a chance to
practice strategy casino
drinks everyone
gets free drinks even those
who play the
penny slots if you play for
long enough
just keep in mind that most
of these
drinks are watered-down and
the less
you're spending the more
infrequent
they'll be slot placement
isn't random
usually the highest
yielding slots are
placed in the most popular
locations in
the casino the most popular
slots are
also placed in these areas
to attract
people into the casino to
play you can't
win it slots in the long
run slots are
manufactured and programmed
in a way to
ensure that they only pay
back a certain
percentage of the money
that players put
into them this is usually
in the seventy
to ninety percent range but
it can be
far worse or better
depending on where
you're playing all of your
moves are
being tracked this
information is
collected analyzed and put
into reports
sent to the casinos
marketing department
this is so that they can
work out the
best possible way to market
their casino
and slots to you so that
you keep coming
back to play more well
apparently what
happens in Vegas doesn't
stay in Vegas
so now you know secrets cruise
ships
don't want you to know the
ship won't
wait for you órale nope
if you're not a big fan of
group tours
and decide to explore a
port of call on
your own be aware that the
ship will not
wait for you if you're late
pirate
attacks still exist no
pirates aren't
just in the movies they do
exist and
attacks happen all the time
in 2008 more
than 130 merchant ships
were attacked by
Somali pirates in the Gulf
of Aden I
don't think they say our
though the
right cabin to choose lower
deck cabins
are prone to noise from the
engine
motion and anchor being
dropped several
times a day and upper deck
accommodations may offer
Sun roofs and
moral peace and quiet
but they're also pricier
and seasickness
is more intense there where
does the
waste go once a ship is
three miles away
from land it can dump human
waste into
the ocean which is really
bad if you're
trying to water-ski behind
the ship just
kidding arrests onboard
sure you might
be in international waters
but you can
still be arrested in fact
all cruise
ships have sells for unruly
passengers
you better behave buddy the
earlier you
block the better just as
you find when
booking air tickets the
sooner you book
a cruise the more likely
you are to
score a great deal the best
deals are
offline booking online is a
convenience
that few can resist
that's why cruise lines
typically keep
some of their best
discounts off their
websites if you want a good
deal just
call the perks of room
service believe
it or not room service on
board a cruise
ship is most often free
check and see if
it is then make use of it
last-minute deals although
it's not
common it is possible to
book one heck
of a last-minute deal on a
cruise if you
have the flexibility then
keep your
options open consider all
options one
look at the fares for a
luxury cruise
lines and you'll be picking
your job off
the floor but consider
what's included
in their fares and then
compare that to
what you'd be paying
between your fare
and services with an on
