Best Online Casino Gambling Tips

British sports book, online casino and poker room William Hill has discovered 2008’s unluckiest gambler after digging through the millions of bets wagered at their site and chain of UK shops.

Paul Greenwood, 52, from Barnsley, UK, was revealed as the unluckiest gambler of 2008. He made his usual £10 on an accumulator, betting on a series of 14 football matches with cumulative odds of 79,500-1. He had initially included Manchester United in this bet but at the last minute decided to switch to Arsenal.

His first 13 selections won their games as he had predicted. So too did Manchester United, meaning that if he had stuck with them he would have been £795k richer. Nevermind, all Arsenal had to do was beat Aston Villa – they failed to do so. To make up for this disastrous bit of luck, William Hill have given Paul a £1,000 free bet.

William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe said: ‘Against a great deal of competition from punters beaten by a short-head or a fall in horse races, we have declared Paul officially the unluckiest punter in the UK. I would think our customers will be desperate to know what Paul places his free bet on, so they can avoid it!’  If I was this guys friend I would avoid him like the plague.

A former trucker could face fifty years in federal prison after he was found guilty of trying to extort hundreds of thousands of dollars from two Las Vegas casino companies for the return of customer information, a prosecutor said.

Jeffrey Daniel Greer, 49, of Parson, Tenn., was convicted Thursday of two charges of interference with commerce by threats or use of fear, and two charges of use of interstate facility in aid of racketeering activity, said Gregory Brower, U.S. attorney for Nevada.

Greer, a former driver for French Trucking Co. of Lexington, Tenn., faces up to 50 years in federal prison and $1 million in fines. He remained free on bond pending sentencing Jan. 30. Greer was accused of obtaining identification and personal financial information about customers at MGM Mirage and Harrah’s casinos from documents in a load of paper refuse he drove in March 2007 to a recycling plant in Jackson, Ala.

Greer allegedly contacted the casino and online casino companies and threatened to sell the confidential customer information to casino competitors or the tabloid media unless each company gave him a security consulting contract and paid him $250,000. Greer was arrested by the FBI after a May 2007 meeting, secretly recorded and filmed, with agents posing as casino executives at Harrah’s offices in Cordova, Tenn.  It seems there is not shortage of unique ideas to rip-off casinos.

The amount of zeroes in the odds of winning ten consecutive jackpots at the same online casino would probably blow your mind. BlackjackBallroom have proudly announced their latest winner of a big jackpot – it’s the same as the last nine! The player, who wishes to remain anonymous, has netted ten big wins, each over $20,000. She said: ‘I used to be a big [live] casino player, but I like this so much better because it’s in the comfort of my own home and ‘no smoking’!’ At Blackjack Ballroom new players have the chance to use $500 of the casino’s money to play any of the 280+ Las Vegas style online games absolutely free for one hour.

Crazy luck but judging by the odds I would rather have won 10 million in the local lottery!

I know it sounds like the set-up for a bad joke but this is reality in Mexico last week.  Mexican police say they chased a suspected drug cartel hit man through the streets of Tijuana and into a crowded casino, arresting him and an accomplice after hundreds of frightened gamblers were ordered to the floor.

Mexico’s federal Public Security Department said the suspects arrested Friday are believed to be Ruben Rios Estrada, a key gunman for the Arellano-Felix cocaine cartel, and Hector Manuel Mora Mendoza, another suspected gang member. They were flown to Mexico City under heavy guard, the agency said.

Federal troops and policemen chased the suspects at high speed through the streets before they fled into the casino, the department said. Federal agents caught them as they gambled, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported, citing witness accounts.

The casino company , owned by former Tijuana Mayor Jorge Hank Rhon , complained to local newspapers that the raid by masked, heavily armed police terrified and endangered some 1,300 customers.

Federal police said they found a shotgun, two pistols, hundreds of bullets and five shirts emblazoned with police insignia in the suspects’ vehicle.  Sounds like they got their man just in the nick-of-time.

Bodog online casino is offering a new Hi-Lo game with a special twist. If you’ve ever dreamed of being a psychic, Mystic Shuffle Hi-Lo is for you! This is a fantastic new conceptual take on the game, with innovative graphics and all the features you’d expect from a top shelf online.  Gameplay is fun and exciting with a nice pay-off possible if you have a good run.  It sucks to have to choose hi or lo on mid-level cards but it is fun trying to predict the next flip.  In practise mode I was able to score some decent size wins but I did go bust a few times before giving up.
