• Golden Palace Streaker Strikes The UEFA Cup Final

GOTHENBURG, Sweden, May 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Cheering crowds of soccer fans leapt in a cheering frenzy this evening in unanimous applause for an unannounced player who scored a sudden golden strike, catching all unaware and arguably capturing hearts in one of the funniest UEFA moves for some time! Yet, strangely enough, the star of the evening was from neither the Valencia nor Marseille teams. Rather he was renowned British streaker, Mark Roberts, who struck gold once again, emblazoned with the now infamous Golden Palace tattoo. Soccer fans were caught unaware as the torso tattooed, scantily dressed figure suddenly appeared from nowhere, leaping onto the pitch to show the competing teams some fancy footwork of his very own. And once the initial surprise had passed, spectators were clearly amused. "I've read about this kind of thing before in The Times during the Super Bowl, but I wasn't expecting it here, especially given all the security..." said one British soccer who'd traveled all the way from London to watch the final. "The man just appeared from nowhere (laughs). At least he got smiles out of the Valencia and Marseille team! I did think it was pretty funny, seeing him running about like that on the pitch. You can't help but smile, and that's not such a bad thing these days, you know! He had the whole place laughing for the longest time because security had difficulty catching him." Wearing 'minimal playing kit' and tattoo of the Internet casino website GoldenPalace.com across his torso, the streaker shared his own soccer style with live audiences of millions in the stadium and watching coverage televised worldwide. He was shortly overcome by security and led off the pitch. [...]

• No Advertising Crisis Says Expert At GIGSE In Toronto

(May 18, 2004 - CNVI.COM) Online gambling and gaming professionals from around the world are converging in Toronto this week for the Sixth Annual Global Interactive Gaming Summit & Expo May 17-19, 2004 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. One of the best attended events was the marketing channel discussion where the advertising crisis in the United States was discussed. Internet gaming and advertising law attorney Lawrence Walters explained, "There is no advertising crisis." He went on to explain that the Justice Department is most likely first taking the pulse of the industry to check defenses and determine viability while creating a chilling effect on free speech. He went on to say, "There is no federal law prohibiting online gambling advertising and aiding and abetting has never been successfully used against traditional advertisers. The first amendment protects the advertising of legal conduct even if illegal where the ad airs." Earlier this year, Justice department officials supoenaed US based portals and media outlets seeking information about advertising revenues and advertiser contact information. Various broadcasting and trade groups received notice letters. As a result, many websites have stopped accepting online gambling advertising revenue including Google and Yahoo. [...]

• The Gang That Beat Las Vegas - Part IV

Billy Walters maintained a low profile in Las Vegas. If he appeared at a sports book it was usually around midnight. when he might come to open a betting account with $100,000 or more in cash - however much he could fit in a Famous Amos Cookies bag. As for more public matters, he preferred that business be conducted by Glen Walker. So Walker would visit the Las Vegas sports books each day, to settle up or place bets, and fend off the legions of bettors who wanted to know which games the computer liked that week. He worked with three other group employees at the "C&B Collection Agency," which was a front for their betting operation. His colleagues would meet there, at an office park on Spring Mountain Road., when they weren't moving money out of Billy Walters' house. [...]
