Want to Gamble Online Legally? Go to South Africa, Where the Government Appears to Be Close to Legalizing (and Taxing) Internet Gambling

My lovely wife is South African and so any news coming out of her home country is always of interest to me. So imagine this: they are more progressive than the U.S., when it comes to online gambling. Or so it would appear. It has taken three years, but a commission  has recommended that it’s [...]

Hannon favours Middle Park Stakes for Harbour Watch

Trainer Richard Hannon has revealed he favours aiming Qipco 2,000 Guineas favourite Harbour Watch at the Middle Park Stakes on 8th October rather than the longer Dubai Dewhurst Stakes on the same day. The unbeaten horse would travel well over the 6 furlongs of the Middle Park Stakes and justifiably be backed by horse bets [...]

Croft Scores 100 to Upset Worcestershire

Lancashire have taken control of their County Championship match against Worcestershire, a development that will boost the club’s hopes of ascending to the coveted spot at the top of Division One. The Old Trafford-based side lead by 194 runs, as of 11:30am on Thursday. However, Worcestershire still have four wickets remaining of their first innings [...]

Update on California’s Internet Gambling Bills: The Debate Continues

So, California is still broke, right? Solution? Internet gambling legalization, for one thing. Not that it would solve the state’s pathetic financial situation. But it sure would help. A little. Bills to legalize online gambling are likely headed for another year of debate. A few bills have already been around for a couple of years. [...]

What? Online Bingo a Target of U.S. Feds Too? How Freakin’ Outrageous is That?

It was bad enough, last April, when the U.S.Department of Justice seized the domain names of two of the largest online poker rooms and indicted both with charges of bank fraud and other charges relating to online gambling laws in the US. That pissed me off. But now the feds are going too far. It [...]

Crusaders exodus begins

The fall-out from Crusaders’ decision to drop out of the Super League continues with half-back Jarrod Sammut becoming the first player to confirm his exit from the club after signing a one-year deal with the Bradford Bulls. Sammut and his team-mates were left in limbo following the announcement that the Welsh club had withdrawn their [...]

It’s a New World in Vegas: Fewer Casino Floor Supervisors, And More Surveillance Technology

It was inevitable, I suppose. Even casinos are laying off people…in Vegas (it has been a given in Atlantic City). But it is somewhat surprising that floor supervisors, who after all… are there to watch over theft and cheating… are being laid off. No doubt (if you’ve been to Vegas recently) there are fewer suits hovering [...]

Minnesota Budget Stalemate: Legislators Wonder…is More Legalized Gambling the Answer?

As much as state legislators like to steer clear of gambling as the answer to all budgetary messes…Minnesota legislators, who are locked in a battle with the Governor (the state has closed down) are thinking about expanding gambling…to (what else?) bring in more capital. A Minnesota Capitol undercurrent for months has suggested gambling as a [...]

Dawn of a New Day? Congressmen Peter King (R) of New York and Joe Barton (D) of Texas Co-Sponsor a Bill that Would Allow States to Decide if They Will Allow Internet Gambling

Well, it’s a first step. And a big one. A lot of legislators talk about finding ways to legalize online gambling (as a way to collect more tax money). Now, two Congressmen have put their reputations on the line legalizing online poker, and possibly other games. Of course, there are always pitfalls, for example the [...]

Euro Millions Lottery Game, Right Up There With America’s Powerball and Mega Millions Games, in Terms of HUGE Jackpots; Game Played in Nine European Countries

People are always asking me: What is Euro Millions? Particularly Americans, who play Powerball and Mega Millions, and who have vaguely heard about this European lottery game, but don’t know much about it. Well, let me tell you, it’s an awesome twice a week, big jackpot game. Whenever I’m in Europe on a gambling junket [...]
