• BetOnSports Commences Grassroots Television Campaign

Costa Rica-based sports book BetOnSports on Thursday launched an aggressive TV advertising campaign in the United States calling on viewers to voice their disapproval of proposed federal legislation to ban online gambling. Television ads are scheduled to appear on 25 stations across the country over the next 32 days. The campaign could be extended beyond that point if it proves effective. Last night SpikeTV, a cable channel that bills itself the "First Network for Men," ran an ad with an actor sitting in front of a waving American flag and talking about how U.S. citizens enjoy more freedom than anyone else on Earth. The ad then flashes up the URL "www.betonsports.com/freedom" as a voiceover explaines that betting on the Internet is a constitutional right and urges Americans to step forward and fight for that right. The narrator encourages viewers to go to the Web site for more information and to sign a petition that will be sent to Congress. The ad closes with another image of the American flag waving in the wind and the voice asking, "If they take away this freedom, what will they take away next?" [...]

• Just How Long Does It Take To Get A Jackpot?

Frustrating, isn't it? Maybe even aggravating. You've been playing the slots for years and have come close but never won a jackpot. Your braggadocios brother-in-law got dragged into a casino, kicking and screaming, once in his smug life, and bagged big bucks on the first (and last) machine he ever tried. Grrrr. So, how long do you have to play before you can expect to line up those three, four, or five Bozo-the-Clowns? The answer depends on the machine, since games may be programmed with different jackpot probabilities. And, in most cases, you can't find out what those probabilities are. Video poker is an exception, since the chances of the top hand are on the order of one out of 40,000 if you follow anything close to expert strategy. About the only thing you can figure on any of the other slots is that the more the prize money, the lower the likelihood you'll get in on any spin. [...]

• William’s Wife Wins ¼ Million!

September 8, 2004 - Online Casino, InterCasino called to congratulate its latest progressive slot machine winner, only to find out that gambling is a family affair in his house. 54-year-old player “William H.” was playing online slot machine ‘Rags to Riches’ with his wife for an evening’s entertainment before he decided to turn in for the night. Luckily, his wife had a few pulls on the one-armed bandit left in her when she told William that she’d be joining him in a few minutes. Just as William had gotten into bed, the calm of the evening was pierced by his wife’s shouting near the computer. Knowing that she was online, playing at InterCasino.com, William quickly sprung from bed in anticipation of a big payout. But William had no idea that his wife had just brought home the bacon – all $281.865 of it! “My wife was beside herself, and I tried to stay pretty cool, but I just couldn’t believe it,” said William. “We have been playing at InterCasino.com for about three years and we’ve won big before, but this is the biggest.” The lucky couple enjoys playing InterCasino.com’s slot machines, Let it Ride, and Caribbean Stud together. “Last year we won about $50,000 playing poker, we’ve hit royal flushes four or five times at InterCasino.com, so we like to stick to poker, but when the jackpot on Rags to Riches reaches over $180,000, we know it’s due to bust. That’s what put us on Rags to Riches the other night. I figure that the machine is due, and if there are only a few hundred people playing it at any one time, my chances are pretty good.” William travels with his job, and often plays from his hotel room while he is on the road, “it’s cheaper than sitting at the bar,” mused William. But the lucky couple’s win means that William’s days on the road are near their end. “I will be putting most of the money away for my retirement in a few years, “$281,865 is a great boost to my retirement fund, but I also have had my eye on a two-seater jaguar, and I’m thinking about buying that too. Actually, I’ve already got the color picked out, silver, so I guess I am further along than just thinking about it,” William admits coyly.

• Ladbrokes Underestimates The GRAVITY Of The Situation

Ladbrokes was forced to slash odds on the discovery of gravitational waves before 2010, after a top UK scientist, Professor Jim Hough, revealed that the likelihood was not 500-1, but more like 2 or 3-1 – after he’d visited the bookies, of course. Gravitational waves, I’m reliably informed, are ripples in the fabric of spacetime and first theorized by Einstein. Initially thought not to exist, they are now accepted as real by scientists. The wager was part of a series of propositions from Ladbrokes on scientific speculations, ranging from discovering life on Titan - Saturn's largest moon - at 10,000 to one, to building a fusion power station, 100 to one. But the promotion seems to have backfired. Professor Hough, said: “I'm almost certain we'll discover them in the very near future. I would have had much more money on at the odds they were offering but the maximum bet they allowed me to have was £25! Looking to the future, even if gravitational waves are not detected in the next few years, I think we're certain to find them in or around 2010 when LIGO is upgraded. The odds Ladbrokes are offering are bound to keep falling and falling!'
