1st US Online Casino

Online gambling has proved to be a short life and an unhappy one for the unidentified owners of the Tradition online casino, a venture that launched only last year on July 20th, powered by Rival software.

The operation is one of 24 similarly powered online casinos listed as owned by Rival’s UK-based Silverstone Overseas Limited, a company widely assumed to be the software company’s white label operator.

Claiming to be the owners, clearly foreign posters located in Malta with the i-gaming pro affiliate program have been defending the casino on various message boards in recent months as slow-pay complaints have mounted.

The son of online gambling supporter and former US Presidential candidate Ron Paul, Rand Paul, has decisively won the Kentucky Republican Primary and is widely being hailed as the first big winner representing the Tea Party movement.  Paul is believed to share many of the views of his father, a staunch Constitutionalist. 

Rand Paul wins in a state that has become a battle ground for the online gambling sector following Governor Steve Beshear’s Communist China-like antics to seize some 141 industry-related domain names.   He beat out establishment-supported candidate Trey Grayson. 

Though the younger Paul hasn’t exactly come out endorsing Internet gambling, his father co-sponsored a bill that would fully legalize the activity.  Current laws make it illegal for bets to be taken in the United States.  As such, the i-Gaming community is finding itself lumped in among the Rand Paul supporters.

Lee Westwood’s odds of winning the 2010 Players Championship were now at +137 at Sports Interaction.  The payout would be $13.70 for every $10 bet and it appears as if he has a great shot.  This bet could have great value.

Westwood watched a two-shot lead turn into a two-shot deficit. Over the final hour, Robert Allenby picked up three shots on the last three holes, while Heath Slocum dropped four shots on the last six holes.

The day ended with Westwood hitting a daring shot with a 6-iron through a gap in the trees for a par on the 18th hole for a 2-under 70 to finish the third round with a one-shot lead, same as he started. H

Australians are lapping up their weekly, almost daily, dose of crime and all matters of vice.

Media Man and Gambling911 continue their probe into both real crime and TV entertainment drama down under.

Australian viewers can’t get enough of crime TV, so it appears, with Network Nine Australia doing a first showing of the ‘Australian Families Of Crime’ featuring Melbourne underworld figure, Carl Williams, on the very same day as his real life death in HM Prison Barwon.

Williams was bashed to death by two inmates using a blunt instrument.
