    you have to type in the desired amount in the box. Just delete the 200 which is there and put in 500.....

    You will notice a little box on the right of you screen with the betting ammount in it. It goes up when you move the slider up. Now click in this box and type the number you wish to bet.

    Be warned though, sometimes it's a bit fiddly and panic will set in when you've got aces, the time is nearly finished and you can't get the right ammount.

    Look at the white box just above the raise button. 

    I have typed in a 9p raise and the raise button changes to show this.

    Trev & Simon I was thinking of, whatever happened to them??

    Right welcome to the SKY Agm...... Ladies & Gentlemen

    First we'll discuss the budgets for marketing and advertising for next year etc

    "We will continue to print as many of the glossy brochures for HD TV as we can and aim to deliver 2 to every household in the UK every week, also we will advertise in every national newspaper everyday, at least a full page and sometimes a pullout, for 3D TV I want more more and more....that leaves developing our very profitable poker software..... this seems to crop up every year and I will repeat what I say everytime.... If it ain't broke don't fix it..... Now who wants a quick game of charades before Cyril and Tuppy get here with the Pomagne?"
