Linux Poker and Linux Poker Compatibility Site










Jacksonville Beach, FL (PRWEB) October 1, 2005

Pacific Poker is now a Linux poker and Mac poker compatible online poker room at http://www.Mac-PacificPoker.com using the Quick-Play mode. Online poker can be played by Linux and Mac users by using this no download version.

Linux and Unix systems seems to be very popular in the IBM and Hewlett-Packard PC’s. This online poker room gives these PC users a free place to play online poker.

Until the recent advent of no download Linux and Mac poker rooms, players could not play online poker on their Linux and Mac operating systems. Poker players had to purchase expensive Virtual PC software to create Windows compatibility.

Linux and Mac poker players say there are only a couple online poker rooms that are Linux poker and Mac poker compatible. Pacific Poker (http://www.Mac-PacificPoker.com) is one of the largest Linux and Mac poker rooms but Poker Room (http://www.P0KERRO0M.com) is in the top 3 for being the largest online poker rooms as well. Poker Room is Mac and Linux poker compatible as well.

Online Linux poker players like Pacific Poker because of the up to $ 100 bonus. This Linux poker room also offers free rolls every day.

Many online poker enthusiasts say that Pacific Poker is one of the best sites to make money. Players believe that because Pacific Poker only allows you to play one table at a time that this keeps the pros away and leaves the bad players to be taken advantage of.

This Linux poker room has a popular multi-table tournament that has an entry fee of $ 33 with a $ 30k guaranteed prize pool. The winners prize ranges but many players say it can average around $ 4-6k.

This Linux poker room also offers a poker forum and a poker school at its main homepage at http://www.PacificPoker100.com Many Linux players like to talk strategies and online tells. The mascot for this poker room looks like a talking toucan.

Gambling.com Magazine Takes On Top Designer for Revamp










London, UK (PRWEB) September 27, 2006

Michael Caselli, Editor of Gambling.com Magazine, said of the new appointment, “With this impressive portfolio, Tolley was the obvious choice.

Think Bingo Wins CM Team of the Year

Think Bingo Wins CM Team of the Year










London, UK (PRWEB) January 18, 2007

OnlineBingo.co.uk, the UK’s leading online bingo portal and review site, has been reviewing Think Bingo since its launch over two years ago. Think Bingo’s chat moderators have just been named by the CM site CMoftheYear.com as the UK CM Team of the Year for 2006 – the first time the award has been held in the UK. The award was voted for by UK online bingo players.

It was expected that Mecca Bingo Online and Gala Bingo would be near the top – spots 2 and 4 respectively – but it was Think Bingo that did away with the competition to take the award. Think Bingo was the UK’s first stand alone online bingo site to launch in the middle of August 2004 and today remains one of the most established alongside its sister sites Think Bingo Plus and Bingo Scotland.

The team of 15 CMs featured in every monthly leader board update throughout 2006. A spokesman for Think Bingo said, ‘It’s great that our CMs have finally got the recognition that they deserve. We’ve always known that our CMs set Think Bingo apart – their warmth and skill has never ceased to surprise us. And so we are delighted for them and we think it truly is justified.’

UK online bingo has seen a significant rise in CM standards in recent months. The importance of a good team of CMs can often make the difference between top quality entertainment and run-of-the-mill-bingo. However the emergence of this award and the number of votes by online bingo players all over the United Kingdom for the team they think deserves the award, has shown the online bingo world that CMs really can significantly better a player’s online bingo experience.

CMs not only maintain order in the chatrooms, they manage chat games, quizzes and competitions and are the hub of the bingo site’s community. Chat moderators are usually but not exclusively women who work from home and are avid online bingo fans.

All the sites that OnlineBingo.co.uk review have great CMs – from Think Bingo, Mecca Bingo and Gala Bingo as mentioned, to Virgin Bingo and Party Bingo. The CM of year UK award for 2006 shows just how important a team of CMs is to a UK online bingo site.

New Blackjack System to Beat the Casinos Revealed

admin / August 21, 2009 / One comment

New Blackjack System to Beat the Casinos Revealed










(PRWEB) January 25, 2005

Professional blackjack player and strategy creator Andrew Johnson also known as AJ just launched his winning blackjack course at http://www.black-jack-secrets.com

He will be teaching how he has been making a fortune literally robbing the casinos legally for years playing blackjack without the use of the now famous card counting strategies which the casinos combat by banning professional players.

Blackjack has long been considered one of the few games where you, the gambler, can achieve an edge over the casino. For some reason the casinos seem to think that after you have mastered the game of blackjack that you, the honest gambler, needs to be penalized. There are very few blackjack players that have the ability and or desire to become a world class card counter. This select group of very few players now have to hide their identity in order to gamble at a casino, playing their favorite game, blackjack

Law-makers around the world are beginning to agree with casino executives that drastic measures are needed to prevent skilful players from beating the game of blackjack.

Blackjack was derived from the French game vingt-et-un or twenty-one. Until about the mid 1950′s, it was believed that the game was a lot like baccarat and the house had the edge because the player played first.

In 1956, a paper was published by Baldwin, Cantey, Maisel, and McDermott in the “Journal of the American Statistical Association” laying out a set of recommendations for the play of the game, these recommendations were very close to today’s basic strategy.

The following year, they published a manual for the public with this system of play, but it attracted little interest until, Edward O. Thorp(PhD), saw the paper and understood that there were parts of the game that had been missed in the past. The first being that the composition of the deck changed with each card dealt, also, some combinations of the remaining cards favoured the house and others favoured the players.

In 1962, Dr. Thorp published his now famous book, “Beat the Dealer”, which contained a simple yet profound message that decks of cards have memory. Each hand is dependent on the makeup of the deck at that time and by paying attention to the cards already played, the player can almost predict what will be appearing in the deck next.

Andrew Johnson has been playing blackjack as a business for over 10 years. He holds blackjack seminars and schools around the world and January 24th he decided to reveal his personal winning system for beating blackjack.

The newly launched website is called at http://www.black-jack-secrets.com and anyone interested in knowing the insider secrets about the game of blackjack and how to profit from gambling should take a good look because AJ is a legend when it comes to professional blackjack!

Man Investments Posts Double Digit Growth to Lead Alpha Magazine?s Fund of Funds 50

Man Investments Posts Double Digit Growth to Lead Alpha Magazine’s Fund of Funds 50










New York, NY (PRWEB) October 30, 2006

London-based Man Investments unseats UBS to take top honors in Alpha magazine’s Fund of Funds 50, the fifth annual ranking of the world’s biggest multimanager hedge fund firms. Man Investments’ fund capital grew by more than 11 percent to $ 39.8 billion in multimanager hedge funds, helping it to overtake the Swiss giant, which sold its $ 18 billion Global Asset Management fund-of-funds business to Julius Baer Group in December 2005.

With a more than 44 percent increase in fund capital, Union Bancaire Privée held on to its No. 3 spot maintaining $ 30 billion in multimanager hedge funds. Rounding out the top five are Permal Asset Management moving up to No. 4 with $ 26 billion in fund capital, a gain of more than 38 percent, and HSBC Private Bank/HSBC Republic Investments with $ 25.2 billion in multimanager hedge funds, a gain of nearly 25 percent.

The 2006 gains come in stark contrast to pundit predictions of the nearing demise of the fund-of-hedge-funds business. UBS, as the result of its sale of GAM, was the only top ten firm — and one of just five total firms — to post a loss. On the whole, Alpha’s Fund of Funds 50 oversaw a combined $ 550 billion in assets as of June 30, 2006, up 21 percent from last year’s ranking.

Alpha‘s Fund of Funds 50 firms include:

2006 rank / 2005 rank / firm/ firm-fund capital ($ millions) 2006/2005

1 / 2 / Man Investments / $ 39,800 / $ 35,600

2 / 1 / UBS / $ 37,762 / $ 44,974

Florida Gambling HelpLine Reflects the Changing Landscape of Gambling in the State

Florida Gambling HelpLine Reflects the Changing Landscape of Gambling in the State











Altamonte Springs, FL (PRWEB) July 27, 2010

The picture of gambling and problem/compulsive gambling in the State of Florida has changed dramatically in recent years and, as research reflects, when one changes so does the other.

Throughout the 2009/2010 fiscal year, the Florida Council on Compulsive Gambling’s (FCCG’s) 888-ADMIT-IT HelpLine responded to over 16,000 calls, with approximately 5,000 callers seeking help and information for a gambling problem. “These numbers reflect a 12% increase in calls over the past year, and a 17% increase over the past two years” says Pat Fowler, FCCG Executive Director. Calls were received from 60 of the 67 counties in the state, further indicating how widespread the problem has become.

Change can be seen when comparing the types of gambling causing problems regionally, where 4 out of the 5 regions of the state reported slot and electronic gaming machines as the primary source of the problem, and cards and slots tying as the primary problem in the fifth region. This is a vastly different picture from just a few years ago, when individuals in most regions throughout Florida reported having problems with lottery and cards most frequently.

“We expected to see an increase in callers reporting slots as a problem when they were legalized in pari-mutuels in Broward and Miami-Dade counties, but the more recent jump in problems with this type of gambling in other regions appears to be due to the “grey area” gambling establishments such as internet sweepstakes centers located in more rural areas of the state and in local neighborhood strip centers,”

says Fowler. These centers have spread rapidly in parts of the state where little or no other forms of gambling are available except Lottery and the FCCG reports a sudden and growing influx of calls for help with a gambling problem as a result.

Other new and noteworthy trends from last year’s helpline data include:


More than one in five (22%) gamblers was older adult with the number of senior female callers out numbering males 2 to 1.

Blackjack gamblers continue to rise as 42% of card players cited this type of gambling as their primary problem reflecting a 9% increase over the last year.

Internet Sweepstakes Centers were tied for fourth as a primary gambling location even surpassing bookies, racinos, bingo halls, and floating casinos in numbers.

Almost one third of the gamblers (30%) claimed to have lost 90,000 or more due to their gambling problem

One in seven (14%) earned an income that was below poverty level for Florida and over 20% of the gamblers were unemployed or on disability.

For additional data on this and other areas of the report contact: Pat Fowler, ED, Florida Council on Compulsive Gambling at 407-865-6200.
