Honesty the Best Policy

This week, the UK online casino newspapers have reported great and amazing news which is really interesting. That story was about a Swedish house wife who has cashed out a lotto ticket which she found on the supermarket floor. The lady was Mrs. Amanda Sracy and she has found this at the supermarket floor. She has picked it up and brought home. But she has never thought that lotto ticket will give her GBP 30,000.

The real owner of the ticket was Dorothy McDonough and he has reported the situation to the police. Then the police manage to freeze the balance GBP 15,000 immediately, but by that time the lady and her husband has already cashed out the lottery and used the money on their personal gain.

So the police immediately interviewed her to find out whether she has made an fraud on this scenario and she said that she didn’t knew that it was a crime to claim money from a found ticket and she told that she thought that it was her luck to find the lottery.

But the police was thinking another way and the charged her according the laws available for the fraud, so there was a court action was filed and the lady had to attend to the court.

So there various oral arguments occurred on the said situation and they also understood that it is that she has acted out of financial and not greedy.

However, the final judgment on the balance GBP15, 000 will be given on the coming July.

Online Casinos Breathe a Sigh of Relief

The online gambling industry could breathe a sigh of relief now as the Kentucky Court of Appeals overturned the prior ruling which would have allowed the State of Kentucky to forfeit as many as 141 domain names. The whole situation bordered on absurd and the amount of mass media attention showered on the event also bordered on absurd. The fact that this situation had to go to an appeals court had shocked individuals around the world by the audacity of the USA. Online gambling sites including bingo sites and information portals were all shocked to the planned seizure. But fortunately, the ruling from the Kentucky Court of Appeals was really handed down on the same day that the online poker industry received hope that a new president can affect real change in American gaming and gambling policies: Inauguration Day.

The last ruling was definitely a relief and it means that it might be the end of the issue if Steve Beshear, Kentucky Governor, lets the situation rest. However, even with the relief, there’s still a fair bit of frustration from the online gambling industry. Gambling websites that were facing seizure and were uncertain about the ruling of the Court of Appeal were made to take expensive alternative actions in an attempt to preserve their business and brands if the order of seizure stood up in the Court of Appeals. Internet gambling sites like 123 Bingo and Bingo Knights altered their domain names a month ago in reaction to the 1st court’s ruling.

In additional, organizations like the PPA and iMEGA were forced to move man power from other initiatives to the Kentucky situation. Ultimately, the Appellate judge agreed with lawyers that represent iMEGA, the registrars, and the internet casinos – the standing Kentucky State law cannot be interpreted to include gambling domains as an “illegal gambling device” no matter how you look at it.

Moving from Playdough to Real Dough

I know that in the play games you can rarely get anyone to ever fold. I tried doing the 3 or 4 bet raising there and determined I did better with the play money when I just waited for premium hands and went all in because any dummy will call, but I know it will be vastly different at a cash table.

But I am wondering how well do the micro limit cash player play? Do they understand that a 4 bet raise is a possible big pocket pair or will they do what playdough players do and call with anything? At least as far as your experience tells you. I worked my way up from play money on three different sites, then starting at the lowest limits on PokerStars (1/2 cent cash and $1.20 SNG).

The historic development of the online casino industry

The concept of online casinos is very simple and straightforward. Imitating their land based predecessors they implemented programming to operate and offer all the popular casino games to gamblers online.

The world’s first online casino debuted on August 18, 1995 as ICI (Internet Casinos Inc) offering about 20 online casino games at launch. This casino has been based on the Turks & Caicos Islands in the Caribbean in order to not conflict with national gambling legislation. During the same time in the mid 90s Gaming Club Casino and Intertops debuted which both claimed to be the first ever online casino. The latter was actually the first online sports book. This operation soon became very popular due to the impeccable service and payouts they offered to players. In 1996 the Interactive Gaming Corp which was a sportsbook listed on NASDAQ launched their own online casino. This company accepted telephone wagers on sports via telephone on a line to Antigua. A practice which came to haunt several sports books as it was in breach of the wireless gambling act which forbids to accept wagers via telephone.

Glossary of Poker Terms Pt. 2

Sometimes poker players seem to be speaking in a different language. Here is a list of commonly used poker slang and terminology beginning with letters C – E so you can get acquainted with what players are actually saying.

Calling Station: A calling station is a player who calls (rather than raise, bet or fold) unusually often. They are considered to be the worst type of players. “I love playing with calling stations.”

Call-me bet or Sucker bet: This is a very small bet which seems to cry out to the opponent “Call me.” It is made when a player has a very strong hand and wants to be called. “He bet $1 on the river, how could I not call?”
