Dumb thief gets busted

You’ve probably watched a lot of casino heist movies, but one heist that went down at the Bellagio went totally wrong. The heist started off on the right not and just like in a movie a man wearing a motorcycle helmet walked into the Bellagio, held a table at gunpoint and demanded chips. The masked criminal collected the loot, slipped through the back door and rode away on his bike. I would say the whole thing went pretty well and it could be called the perfect crime until later our masked thief tried to sell the chips online! To add insult to injury the idiot actually returned to the Bellagio to play poker. The thief was identified as Anthony M.Carleo a Las Vegas municipal judge’s son! Looks like the guy didn’t plan his exit strategy too well.

Gambling on the beach?

The bottom line is that Facebook as a business needs to investigate the best options in which it can transform itself in a way which allows for real-money transactions.

Facebook’s plan is allegedly to eventually offer eight individual operators a license to use the network’s API to integrate their casinos into the Facebook platform. The company has reportedly taken on a large number of new employees to work exclusively on launching their real-money platform in the United Kingdom.

The only current casino running on the Facebook platform is Zynga Casino, with Lo Toney the General Manager of the company stating that they were quite pleased with the profits they have made from their play-money poker game and see no immediate need to change the business model currently in use. Facebook themselves however have begun serious discussions with a plethora of gaming operators, consultants, affiliates, and even a number of representatives from the likes of Gamesys, PokerStars, and 888.

Real-money online casino games are expected to be available in the UK as soon as March 2012, but many details will need to be ironed out before this can go ahead. One major talking point is in regard to the commission Facebook may expect for their services, not to mention issues of age verification and payment processing. It is widely speculated that the United Kingdom will be acting as Facebook’s testing ground for real-money gaming and if successful the platform is expected to be rolled out to other countries as and when the many legal issues can be ironed out.

Mrs. Nesbit says in her blog, that this case does “not reflect well on some elements of the betting industry at the moment”.

Mr. Done, the non-conforming new owner of the Tote has paid out on wagers won by the U.K. customers of its 840 betting shops but has claimed these particular punts to be null and void.

Four of aforementioned individuals are relations of a Mr. Curley, a seventy year old man notorious for outsmarting the bookies, often betting on horses trained at his own Newmarket yard. Mr. Done is refusing to pay out on these wagers after Curley was responsible for an ambitious gamble in May of last year.

“However you feel about the moral arguments for or against Curley’s approach, the cold fact is these are legal bets and should be honoured.” Mrs. Nesbit continues. “There is no evidence of cheating. The British Horseracing Authority has declared horses ran according to official rating. There was absolutely no reason to disqualify the runners and therefore no reason to refuse a pay out.” She added to the Telegraph report, “The idea that a licensed bookmaker would even consider treating online and high street customers differently isn’t just a slippery slope, it’s absolutely precipitous.”

Betfred is claimed to be awaiting the results of an inquiry by Gibraltar’s betting Regulator and Authority before commenting on the story.

As the laws regarding online gambling are changing across Europe one cannot deny that the UK online gambling industry plays a vital part in the European online gambling industry. The UK Gambling Commission created the gambling laws for Europe in 2005. This law has played a major role in regulating gambling in the nation by dealing with numerous issues like licenses, publications etc.

If you are talking about land based casinos the first thing that comes to mind is Las Vegas and when it comes to online casinos, you will have to agree that the British are the top operators. It is normal for you find that most of the online gambling industry news mentions names like William Hill, Ladbrokes, Playtech, Partygaming, 888 among others. You will also find all the details that you need to know about the online gambling market and their current products.

As the British love their gambling anything and everything is looked upon as an opportunity to place bets. They love their gambling and their soccer so it is only natural that they love betting on UEFA Champions League. When it comes to entertainment ‘Dancing on Ice’ and ‘American Idol’ receive more bets than any other televised series. Now there is no reason you cannot place bets on the Royal Wedding if you want to get a bit creative. Baby Beckham and the ever changing unpredictable British weather are also considered good choices to place bets on.

Manchester United clinched their 19th title on Saturday by drawing 1-1 with Blackburn in an exciting game and in doing so over took Liverpool’s total of 18 titles. So these United fans that went to Liverpool, wanted Liverpool fans to get the message that they are no longer the top footie club in the country.

As Liverpool fans started singing their famous You’ll Never Walk Alone song, Manchester United fans put a banner that had “MUFC 19 TIMES” in the Anfield Road End of the stadium. Fellow United conspirators were at the other end of the stadium to get photographic evidence.

What a time it has been for Manchester football. Manchester City won the FA Cup beating Stoke and so the top two prizes in English football has gone to Manchester. I reckon Manchester will become the capital of world football!

With the 2012 London Olympics fast approaching the International Olympic Committee is all set to retain the integrity of the Olympic games. So if you are wondering how they intend to tackle the problem, they have decided to endorse regulated sports betting.

Jacques Rogge the President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has stated that the Olympic committee is in favour of a system that allows betting operators to be licensed by the government. He also added that sports organizers, national federations and international federations will all benefit from this scheme for their efforts for organizing the sport. The organisations involved should also be recognized with financial income, he added. The President of the IOC believes that match-fixing and other betting scandals are easy to carry out only in unregulated markets. His main belief is that the IOC will be able to work within the regulated gambling market to apply safety measures that will sound a warning if any match-fixing activities are detected.

The IOC has is seeking the help of International Sports Monitoring (ISM) to keep an eye on the proceedings of London 2012 Olympics. The ISM already has some arrangements with major online sportsbooks across Europe and this means information regarding betting and betting patterns will be shared. Well as many may consider this as a brilliant idea to keep illegal betting at bay many others are worried. As this proposed plan may prove to be fruitful in making games legitimate, there is a problem of financial repercussions. As of now sportsbooks pay taxes to the government of their location and license, but if this new proposal comes into action they will have to share profits with sports leagues and teams.

Peter Shepherd is the town councilor who loses everything, and dresses up like a woman for some attention. He loses his job and wife and money in gambling in just seven years. So, he goes to the court and says that he is not responsible for the things which have happened, as he couldn’t control himself because of the pills, and he blames the pills which were prescribed to him. This is the sad story of a man who is looking for excuses and someone to blame for his indiscretions… must be a Chelsea supporter!
