He was so impressed with the legendary maid's heroism that he replaced the knight in a deck of cards with a dame. Catholics had no objection to depicting human form on cards, decorating cards with Judeo-Christian motifs. The King of spades was King David, with the trophy sword in hand and his sling on the bottom of the card. King of clubs was Charles the Great, King of diamonds was Julius Caesar, and King of hearts was Alexander the Great. The four kings represented the four sources of western civilization. Today's Queens and Jacks did not evolve as consistently. Athena represented the queen of spades, undoubtedly also drawn to be reminiscent of the soldier, Joan of Arc. Rachel, for whom Jacob hung around for 14 years to marry was the queen of diamonds. Oddly, the queen of hearts was depicted by Judith, the lovely maiden who lopped off the head of Holofernes.history of a deck of cards]]> face cards]]> playing cards]]> games]]> gambling]]> card games]]> history]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Face-Cards-In-A-Deck-Of-Cards--How-Did-They-Evolve-/889066 Thu, 24 Dec 2009 00:15:55 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Face-Cards-In-A-Deck-Of-Cards--How-Did-They-Evolve-/889066 Recently Internet gaming has become more and more popular.

Online sportsbooks have cropped up everywhere, and there are now thousands of places in which a professional or casual player can make a bet on a sporting event.

There are many sporting events which can be bet on including football, basketball, baseball, hockey, soccer, horse racing, boxing, and mixed martial arts. These kinds of bets can be made either in person or online. If done in person, at a physical location, the place that conducts the betting is called a sportsbook. In the US, all 150 authorized sportsbooks are located in Nevada. With online sport betting, the bookkeeper can be located anywhere in the world, as can the people placing the bets. After deciding to get into the world of sport betting, the first thing to look at will be the odds, which show the probability of a sporting event turning out one way or the other. When betting on a sport in Europe, the odds are shown using a decimal format. In the United Kingdom, the odds are shown in a fractional format.

There are 150 licensed sportsbooks in the United States, all located in casinos in Nevada. In the past, gamblers could shop around at various sportsbooks for better odds and choices on which to wager money. Now, since most casinos are owned by the same parent company, the odds and wagering choices are the same. That has become a disadvantage for gamblers who don't like the odds and choices presented to them. The practice of sportsbook betting has been outlawed in most states in the US, due to the passage of the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992, with only a handful of exceptions. Oregon and Delaware conducted sports lotteries and those were exempt from the law, as were the licensed sports pools that took place in Nevada. The practice in Europe is called bookmaking and although it is strictly regulated there, it is not criminalized.sportsbook betting]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Sportsbook-Betting---A-Brief-Overview-Of-Betting-On-Sports/888486 Wed, 23 Dec 2009 15:41:23 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Sportsbook-Betting---A-Brief-Overview-Of-Betting-On-Sports/888486 Wise investment is the base to a successful trail of returns.
