ONLINE GAMBLING: Kerzner gives up on Isle of Man Web site

ONLINE GAMBLING: Kerzner gives up on Isle of Man Web site

Highly regulated climate blamed

Kerzner International Ltd., one of the two big league players in online gaming, announced Wednesday it is abandoning Internet gambling operations.

The company expressed doubts about the prospects for the profitability of Internet gaming in the short to medium term.

Isle of Man awarded both MGM Mirage and Kerzner (then Sun International) licenses to operate Internet casinos in September 2001.

Bahamas-based Kerzner began operating its online casino in December 2001 and MGM Mirage began operating in September.

Despite having a casino brand to market the online gaming site, Kerzner management indicated that the cost of running a highly regulated site put it at a competitive disadvantage to the vast majority of Internet gaming sites that were not strictly regulated.

“We believe there could be implications for MGM Mirage following Kerzner International’s announcement today that it is discontinuing its online gaming operations,” UBS Warburg analyst Robin Farley said.

“We believe that Kerzner’s shutdown of its online ป๊อกเด้ง ไฮโล gaming operation does not bode well for the profitability of Internet gaming operated from tightly regulated jurisdictions like the Isle of Man, and it could indicate that MGM Mirage’s Web site may not be able to achieve profitability in the near to medium term,” she said.

MGM Mirage, however, says for companies with long-term vision, online gaming will pay off and it is committed to its Isle of Man venture.

“We’ve known this is a long-term play and an investment in the future. We can show the technological model we’re developed is sound. If one is looking for short-term results, though, you’d have to come to the conclusion (Kerzner) came to today,” MGM spokesman Alan Feldman said.

The decision also will cost Station Casinos $5 million because of …

PayPal gets subpoena from NY Attorney General

NEW YORK, July 12 (Reuters) – Internet payment provider PayPal Inc. said it received a subpoena from the New York state attorney general’s office related to its activities in the Internet gambling market, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.

The company said the attorney general’s office had asked for information about online gambling payments that occur through the company’s network, and it would co-operate.

PayPal on Monday accepted a $1.5 billion buyout offer from eBay (nasdaq: EBAY – news – people), which supplies more than 60 percent of PayPal’s clients.

At the time of the announcement eBay Inc. said it would cease the business PayPal does with Internet gambling firms when the online auctioneer completes its proposed acquisition.

EBay said it decided to close the gambling business, which accounts for 8% of payments on the PayPal network, because of uncertainty surrounding regulation of that market.

Sands abandons ‘loosest slots’ title, marketing

ATLANTIC CITY – Sands’ 20-month reign as king of the city’s loosest slot machines is over.

The casino that all last year made “loosest slots” a cornerstone of its marketing program now has average payouts to gamblers. All of its slot machines together returned 91.92 percent of the money wagered in June, matching the citywide average, according to Casino Control Commission statistics released Friday.

Resorts topped the chart with a 92.16 percent payout, barely ahead of Trump Marina and Tropicana.

“It’s not a goal of ours to have the loosest slots, although we want to be among the loosest,” Resorts President Audrey Oswell said. “From month to month it can fluctuate depending on the mix of business and games on the floor.”

Two factors have caused Sands’ lower payout percentage: A tightening of its existing nickel, …

Ligaz11 Review of Pot-Limit and No-Limit Poker

October 13, 2021

Recently, I reviewed Championship No-Limit and Pot-Limit Hold’em by T.J. Cloutier (with Tom McEvoy) and pronounced it the best book I’ve read on the topic of “big” bet poker. After reading Reuben and Ciaffone’s book, I feel compelled to revise my opinion. I now believe that their Pot-Limit and No-Limit Poker is the single best work I’ve read on big bet poker, although Cloutier’s book is also top notch and well worth reading.

Reuben and Ciaffone are well known in big poker circles. Both are tenacious winning players who are well respected by their peers. Ciaffone is well known for his seminal work on Omaha, Omaha Holdem Poker, and Reuben has been writing poker columns off and on since the ’60s. Both have a great deal to teach us about high stakes poker.

This becomes apparent immediately in the first section, titled “Big-Bet Poker Concepts” which provides the best introduction to the basic concepts of pot-limit and no-limit play, and how this differs from limit games. Before entering a big bet tournament or a ring game for the first time, anyone would be well served to read through this section carefully.

The second section is on specific poker forms, including no-limit Hold’em, pot-limit Omaha (high), Stud Hi-Lo, etc.. Almost every game section is followed by a quiz on the material covered. Most of the quiz questions are quite good, but I don’t think that the scoring system used should be given that much credence. Not that the answers given are incorrect by any means, just that I would expect that one’s point total, and therefore “rank” by the author’s estimation, may not always correlate well with one’s true abilities.

Some of the games discussed in this section, like London Lowball and five and six card Omaha aren’t familiar to me, …

These topics will include the latest marketing strategies to drive players to online gaming ventures and keep them going back for more,” said Jessica Benoit, Conference Manager for iGamingWorld.

Raids target Mafia, reputed bookmaker

October 2, 2021

A series of raids in Middlesex and Suffolk counties Tuesday are part of a continuing effort to dismantle the Mafia in Greater Boston and heap more charges on reputed Mob associate Arthur Gianelli, sources said yesterday.

Spearheaded by members of the Massachusetts State Police Special Services Section, which targets organized crime and illegal gambling, search warrants were executed in Revere, Somerville and Medford. One man allegedly linked to the Mob was arrested and others are expected to be indicted, sources said.

“It’s related to things we’ve done in the past,” said one source familiar with the probe. “It involves LCN (La Cosa Nostra).”

Sources said Gianelli of Lynnfield, the brother-in-law of convicted FBI agent and Whitey Bulger consort John Connolly, is one of the key targets of the ongoing probe. Gianelli has ties to the underboss of the mob in Boston, Carmen DiNunzio, 47, of East Boston. The Herald, citing sources, reported in April 2003 that DiNunzio was appointed the Mob’s underboss in Boston by the reputed boss of the New England branch of La Cosa Nostra.

Gianelli is free on bail after being hit with federal arson charges in January in connection with an alleged scheme to strong-arm control of the Big Dog Sports Zone on Route 1 in Lynnfield.

State Trooper Pasquale F. Russolillo told a federal magistrate that Gianelli was paying $2,000 monthly to DiNunzio in order to operate an illegal gambling business. The trooper said Gianelli was partnered with Winter Hill Gang associate Joseph Yerardi.

Carmine Caruso, 60, of Somerville was the lone person arrested Tuesday and charged with trafficking opium and possession of cocaine with intent to distribute.

Sources said investigators also raided other locations connected to Mob associates with the intention of bringing more charges through grand jury indictments.

Investigators recovered gaming records, an …

Something is better than nothing in Domino Qiu Qiu Uang Asli

Hey, don’t knock it – that’s nearly enough to buy a jug of Pimms at the wedding!!

And considering I was around £170 down after trading the first of two tennis matches today I’ll settle for any green today.

Annoyed to have lost on the first match. Wasn’t even going to get involved today but Ginepri v Karlovic just seemed a no-brainer. Ginepri with little decent form of late and a loss of confidence. Karlovic nicely rested up with his service arm fresh to smash a succession of aces. So what happens? Karlovic gets broken early, and seemed so disinterested he may as well have not turned up. Even with the opportunity to level at one set all he lost a service game to love. Anyway, I was left with a hefty red early doors and worked it down to a more manageable figure. Took a risk at the end and increased my Ginepri red laying at 1.04 hoping for a couple of tiebreaker points for Karlovic and the chance to end all green but it just cost me more. Sigh. Still, the important thing was I kept the red manageable and didn’t chase.

Made the money back on the next Domino Qiu Qiu Uang Asli match – doubles between USA and Croatia – which again involved Karlovic. OK, the Bryan brothers are the bollocks when it comes to doubles at the moment but 1.12? Against Ljubicic and karlovic. With their serves? Couldn’t be anything but a lay really. And although I had the twins green for their break in the second a £192.56 profit on the game was more than satisfactory.

Anyway, a big thankyou to Phil over at Smiling Assassin for being the first person to link to my blog!

And a big WTF to Sky Sports. Who …

FC Seoul went to the top of the K-League on Sunday with a tough 1-0 win over Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma. The game was not much of a spectacle until the last gasp winner sent the Seoul fans into raptures.

Check out this video of the FC Seoul fans in full Judi Online24Jam Terpercaya 2021 voice, including a rendition of “My Way” before the kick off at Seoul World Cup Stadium in north west Seoul.

League Cup final takes centre stage

Around 50,000 fans will descend on the National Stadium in Tokyo on November 1 as Oita Trinita do battle with Shimizu S-Pulse for the 2008 League Cup trophy.

Oita Trinita go into the match as rank outsiders, particularly with the Kyushu club missing influential midfielder Shingo Suzuki through suspension. Oita are also missing goalkeeper Shusaku Nishikawa through injury, while his Beijing Olympic team-mate Masato Morishige did not feature in Oita’s most recent 1-0 league defeat at Vissel Kobe, although Morishige is expected to take his place in the Oita back three for this hotly anticipated clash.

Shimizu S-Pulse are missing playmaker Jungo Fujimoto, who had his leg fractured by an X-rated tackle from Omiya Ardija captain Yoshiyuki Kobayashi when the two sides met at Omiya Park back in July. The Shizuoka side could also be without ex-Bolton Wanderers striker Akinori Nishizawa, with the veteran struggling for weeks to shake off a niggling knock. Nevertheless S-Pulse go into the clash as red-hot favourites, with the Shizuoka side in sparkling form having hammered AFC Champions League finalists Gamba Osaka in the league last time out.

The clash also showcases a match-up between two of the most respected young coaches in Japanese football. 43-year old Pericles Chamusca was drafted in as coach of Oita Trinita …

Italians Breeze Through Bandarqq Czech Point

It wasn’t supposed to be this way – a do-or-die encounter by the North Sea. It had been largely assumed that Italy and the Czech Republic would already have qualified by the team they met in Hamburg – or at least be very close to doing so.

That scenario was reinforced in no uncertain terms after the first round of matches. The Czechs bulldozed past the Americans with an emphatic 3-0 win and the Azzuri had a few scares in their 2-0 victory over Ghana but finished the game in control.

It all went wrong in the second round of games in Group E. Despite having a man advantage for most of a brutal 90 minutes against the Americans, Italy could only come away from Kaiserslautern with a 1-1 draw. To make matters worse, Ghana outplayed the highly-fancied Czechs with an impressive 2-0 win in Koln.

The stage was then set. All four teams had a Bandarqq chance to reach the second round, though American hopes were by far the slimmest. A Ghana win would mean that the Africans would book their place in the last sixteen meaning that going into the game, the Czechs had to take three points to be sure while a draw for the Italians would be enough.

Confused? The Italian journalists in the media centre before the game weren’t – they were nervous.

“The other game will not be a draw,” said one of what seemed to be an entire legion of ‘La Republica’ reporters. “If we lose, we are out.”

“I don’t know what to say, I’m really nervous.” said another. “I don’t think the Czechs have a good defence and they are not a great team but I think the Italians have a mental problem …
