6/16 Online Poker News: Gambling Prowess Pays Off For Farha Again

WSOP Results: Gambling Prowess Pays Off For Farha Again

Sammy Farha has been involved with these bracelet presentations several times in the past, but they never get old. On Tuesday, Farha won his third World series of Poker gold bracelet after defeating James Dempsey in an Omaha Hi-Low Championship event.

Farha had lingered near the top of the leader board for much of the day, and when the time came to go heads-up with Dempsey, Farha showed why he is a three time champion. Dempsey was going for his second bracelet this year, but Farha proved too skilled in the five hour heads-up match.

For his win, Farha took home $488,241. He beat out 212 other players to win the tile, and now Farha will set his sights on a push for Player of the Year honors. Dempsey did not walk away empty handed, the second place finish netted Dempsey $301,789.

In other action on Tuesday at the WSOP, Event #24, a No-Limit Hold'em tourney, has reached the final table. JD McNamara is the chip leader with almost 2.4 million chips. Thanh dat Tran is right on McNamara's heals, holding just over 2.3 million chips. Jeffrey Tebben is the low stack at the table with 466,000 chips.

Daniel Negreanu is hovering near the top of the chip counts at Event #26, a No-Limit Hold'em/Six-Handed tournament. Negreanu is currently in fourth position, with just forty-five players remaining out of the 1,245 that entered the event. Jeffrey Papola is the chip leader.

Events #26, 27, 28, and 29 are all in progress, with the $10,000 buy-in Limit Hold'em World Championship being the big tournament in progress. Today, a $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em event will begin at noon, and a $1,500 H.O.R.S.E tourney begins at 5PM from the Rio in Las Vegas.

Beginners Guide to Gambling Onlin

Beginners Guide to Gambling Online

Online gambling is a $12 billion dollar per-year industry across the globe and is growing each year. The high-tech advancements of computers and the internet has created an exciting new way for people around the world to play their favorite casino-style games right at home. The most popular online casinos offer blackjack, online casino slots, video poker, roulette, and of course, sportsbooks. Also available is baccarat, craps, pai gow, arcade games, poker, bingo, and many others. The games today have excellent graphics and provide players with a top-notch, quality experience.

One of the biggest myths about online gambling is that online casinos are unregulated by governments, therefore, are generally unsafe for players at home. The fact is, online gambling is heavily regulated and there are plenty of honest and trustworthy casinos online. In the United Kingdom (UK) for example, online gambling is perfectly legal and there are dozens of publicly traded companies offering casino games online to their customers. All throughout the Caribbean and most South American governments consider online gambling an extremely legitimate industry, with strict penalties for casinos that don't play by the rules.

Think of an online casino as an extension to a land-based casino, a place to have fun and play your favorite games with the chance of possibly making a few extra bucks, except you don't have to fight crowds to get into the parking lot, stand in a long line waiting to get a drink, or worry about whethor or not you can smoke inside. The fact is, online casino games are more entertaining and payout higher percentages than land-based casinos.

Hopefully, our beginners guide will provide the knowledge you need to start playing at the best online casinos! If you have any questions feel free to contact us at any time.

Who Audits Online Casinos?

In the introduction, we mentioned the strict regulations and auditing that online casinos in the UK and Caribbean must undergo by their respective governments. There are also organizations online such as the eCommerce Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance (eCogra) agency, who examines online casinos for honorable payout rates and accuracy in their games. There are now over 100 approved eCogra sites in the world and their standards are very high. The majority of those sites are 100% trustworthy and fair. There are also organizations like Price Waterhouse, who perform independent audits on each casino to assure fairness on a monthly basis. All of the online casinos displayed on our site are considered trustworthy and fair.

The Goal of an Online Casino

The goal of an online casino is to retain you as a customer permanently. They will do just about anything to keep you coming back for more, whether that means giving away free bonus cash, or other incentives. The last thing in the world they want to do is try and cheat you out of some money or elicit unfair gaming practices. That would totally defeat the purpose of retaining your business. A top casino will not steal your money, they will not hold your winnings unrightfully, and they will not take advantage of you. If they did that, you would never come back and play with them again, absolutely the opposite of their main intent.

Another reason an online casino will never cheat you is because if they did, it would be reported to someone and somehow word would get around that a particular online casino is dishonest. Once people find out about a cheating online casino, no affiliated website would ever promote them or it would ruin their own credibility. If a casino steals your money or provides unfair gaming it will go bankrupt real quick. It is in a online casino's best interest to have great customer support, to have fair games, and to actually have players win and then pay them out their winnings.

Getting Started With Online Casinos

Here is where the Casino Gambling Web comes in to the picture. Our site is loaded with information about gambling online. We feature the top news from the gambling industry and also dedicate dozens of pages to the best online casinos and sportsbooks in the world. Take your time, read through our site, pick the casino or sportsbook that is right for you. Learn about the different types of games available and trust our advice. Go to the casino you are interested in and read their terms and conditions before you take advantage of their signup bonuses. Download the casino of your choice and begin playing.

Follow all the directions the casino offers. Be sure to give your real first and last name, your real address on your i.d., your real email address, and your real phone number. It is important to give your real information because the casino you choose has security measures before you will be able to cash out your winnings. Most casinos will just give you your money when you cash out, however, if you win more than a certain amount they will ask for identification to be sure you are the person who the account is registered to, and if your i.d. does not match the profile you originally gave them, they will not give you your money. This is for your own safety, so do not get upset if you win a lot of money and have to go through some red tape. It is for your own benefit.

Tournament Favorite Brazil In Action Today

Casino Gambling Web Online Casino Rankings
#1 Go Casino - Play Now! Slot tournaments and over $20k in bonus money make this a #1 brand. #2 Rome Casino - Play Now! Cool graphics, unique software, great customer support make this brand #2. #3 Crazy Slots - Play Now! Free slot tournaments, fast payouts, and great player response make this site #3.

Brazil is one of the favorites to win the 2010 World Cup, but while other favorites England and Argentina have already played, Brazil has watched the Cup up until now. Today, the Brazilian team will be on the pitch with North Korea.

The game will feature one of the biggest betting lines of the entire tournament. Bodog has Brazil with odds of -1300. For gamblers, they had better be sure that North Korea will not pull the upset before making a bet. Gamblers will have to lay $1300 for every $100 they want to win.

The underdog gamblers have their chance to make a big score should North Korea shock Brazil. North Korea has odds of +2200, meaning that gamblers would win $2200 for every $100 wagered. That extreme betting line shows just how good this Brazilian team is expected to be.

While Brazil and North Korea will play in the featured time slot, two other matches are scheduled for today as well. Portugal will battle the Ivory Coast, and Slovakia will play New Zealand.

Portugal is a slight favorite over the Ivory Coast, with odds of +120. The Ivory Coast is +235. There is not much scoring expected in this match, with sports books placing the total at two goals. The Brazil, North Korea match has a betting total of three.

Slovakia, competing in the World Cup for the first time as their own nation, is favored over New Zealand with odds of -235. Again, the underdog gamblers will have a chance, with New Zealand returning odds of +675. The total for this game is two and a half.

On Wednesday, another one of the favored nations, Spain, takes the field. The Spanish team comes into the World Cup with several injury concerns, but they still will open as big favorites over Switzerland.

World Series Of Poker Recap: Dutch Boyd Wins Second Bracelet

Dutch Boyd was a World Series of Poker champion before he sat down for Event #23, a Limit Hold'em Six Handed event this past weekend. Like many other one time winners, however, Boyd was still in search of that signature second win to prove the first was no fluke.

On Monday, Boyd received that assurance. Boyd beat out 384 other players to claim victory in Event #23, and further cement himself in the memory banks of poker fans everywhere. This title was much different than his previous bracelet. Boyd was at a major disadvantage in chips at the final table, but persevered and eventually took down Brian Meinders.

For Meinders it was another bittersweet finish to a limit event at the WSOP. For the second consecutive year, Meinders made the final table of a limit event, and for the second straight year he fell short of winning the bracelet. Meinders did, however, pick up $144,650 for his efforts.

In other action, Event #24, a No-Limit Hold'em tourney with a $1,500 buy-in, has now reached the point where less than 100 players remain. Jaymes Rosenthal is the chip leader with 630,000 chips. Tim Zhou sits in second position with 270,000 chips.

A familiar name sits on top of the chip counts at the Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better World Championship tournament. Sammy Farha, an established pro, has almost three million chips. Only five players remain in the tournament, and they are battling for the top prize of $488,241.

Two events began on Monday and are in their early stages. Today, a Pot-Limit Omaha tourney will begin at noon, and Event #29, a Limit Hold'em World Championship with a $10,000 buy-in begins at 5PM. Check back daily for updates from the 2010 WSOP from the Rio in Las Vegas.

The other event that concluded was a Limit Hold'em/Six-Handed tournament. Dutch Boyd was the winner, netting $234,065. Brian Meinders came close, but finished as the runner up, winning $144,650. Only 384 players paid the $2,500 entry fee for Event #23.

Pennsylvania Regulators To Be Busy Playing Table Games

Table games will become a reality in Pennsylvania casinos within the next couple of weeks. Before any of the casinos officially open the tables to customers, however, state regulators will try their hands at the games.

State law mandates that regulators must be present for a dry run with the table games. The regulators will then watch how the games are run, and give their final blessing to the casinos. It is a practice that takes place in every state where there is casino gambling.

Hollywood Casino at Penn National Racecourse will get their day in the sun on July 11th. Inspectors will show up and play table games for eight hours. Once that inspection is complete, the table game betting can officially begin at Hollywood Casino two days later.

"While the casinos in Pennsylvania are extremely excited about the prospects of the table games, they must ensure that their operation of the games is up to state standards," said Gaming Analyst Steve Schwartz. "Any glitch could cost them valuable time and thousands of dollars in revenue should the regulators find that the games are not ready to be offered to customers."

Pennsylvania casinos may be working independently to attract6 gamblers, but they also are working collectively to topple the Atlantic City casino industry. The Pennsylvania casinos have already passed AC casinos in slot revenue back in December, and now they have their sights set on becoming the gambling capital of the Northeast.

For residents of Pennsylvania, the new table games will produce thousands of new employment opportunities. The state will receive millions of dollars in tax revenue that will go towards balancing the state budget.
