Super Bowl Betting Down? Maybe it is the recession. Maybe it has to do with millions of people losing their jobs. Perhaps it is the seven point line. Whatever the reason, with only two days left before the Super Bowl, online gambling on the event is down from years past.

“We have not seen the early action that we have had in the past. Usually by now we have many more bets than we do this year. (Read the full post about ‘Online Gambling Down With Two Days Left Before Super Bowl’…)

Tempers Flare Organizers for the Casino Affiliates Programs had to know something like this could have happened. They have been sparring back and forth with members from the Gambling Portal Webmasters Association for a while now, and some of the allegations tossed in the direction of CAP ownership have been incriminating.

That is why it comes as no surprise that at CAP’s London event, tempers flared and a scene was made in the lobby of the hotel where the event was taking place. (Read the full post about ‘Tempers Spill Over At CAP Online Casino Affiliate Event In London’…)

The online casino world has two types of gamblers; those who are loyal to one or two casinos and keep coming back and those who wander from casino to casino trying their luck at hundreds of different casinos and games hoping to hit it rich.  

It seems the latter has worked for one lucky individual. One fortunate gambler at WinADay.com won the casinos first ever progressive jackpot. Monica68, as the player goes by online, won a smooth $148, 724 playing Wheeler Dealer, a 3-reel 8-pay line slot machine based on the popular Golden 8 game seen at Slotland.com.  

But rest assured, the jackpot is climbing again and ready to be won any day now.

With Manchester United setting a new record of eleven Premier League games in a row without conceding a goal, a bookmaker is asking who will be the first to breach the toughest defence in the division.

Man United’s next opponents, Everton on Saturday, have the first bite of the cherry and are Evens to be the first team to bag a goal in over 1032 minutes against the Premiership champions.

Darren Haines, spokesman for Paddy Power, said: “At the moment it’s hard to see anyone putting one past United’s Nemanja Vidic inspired defence but football is football and so often goals come when you least expect it.”

The Toffees are followed in the fixture list by a visit to West Ham’s Upton Park. (Read the full post about ‘Manchester United Betting – Who Will Score Against the Fergie Boys ?’…)

Each and every day we hear of industries in the US which are having to instigate pay freezes to try and retain as much cash as possible to see them through the troubled times. The casino industry is no different to the general economy of the US and as such we have seen a number of pay freezes announced across the sector as well as a significant loss of employment positions. There are concerns that this could eventually impact upon the quality and quantity of skilled dealers in the poker industry.

The poker industry has sometimes been seen as being in the higher echelons of the gambling industry and as such quality dealers have attracted significant wage agreements. (Read the full post about ‘Will the pay freeze in the casino sector have an impact?’…)

There is no doubt that poker TV programmes seem to be able to mix glamour and poker in an atmosphere which is both comfortable and not distracting for the players. (Read the full post about ‘Do poker and glamour really mix?’…)
