Why Stock Markets down/unstable, plus some economic ideas.
Why Stock Markets down/unstable, plus some economic ideas.
The real reasons stock Markets down/unstable;
1. Computer traded markets trending markets lower so greedy big bankers/INT’S can win their July contract cheap puts of general market indices, mainly S AND P at or below 1150.. Late morning/afternoon today, stocks will go up.
2. Institutional buying; computer trading systems are fed info when int’s want to buy a position and with a lack of a strong bid, will take the price to a point where a large INT wants to get shares.

American Players wearing FTP patches at WSOP are a disgrace!
American Players wearing FTP patches at WSOP are a disgrace!
Why are they a disgrace you ask? Well their fellow Americans have not yet been paid by FTP, and not even the patch wearers are being paid currently. I have no problem with an Euro player, Canadian player, heck any non USA resident player wearing The FTP patch, as FTP is legally allowed to do biz in those countries. However, as we all know, FTP is not allowed to serve American players, and are not allowed to play on FTP for money!
Allen Cunningham took some shit yesterday at The WSOP for wearing his patch. He should expect to take shit, as long as it is not out of line shit and overly rude and vile. Allen is said to have responded to the player giving him shit, “Hey you buy stuff made in China” LOL!! Horrible Analogy Allen;
The last time I checked, it is perfectly LEGAL to buy stuff made in China. Sure, I think a lot of us would like to see more American made products being bought and sold here, but WTF does any of us buying something perfectly legal and allowed for us to buy, have to do with FTP not paying USA players, and USA players NOT BEING ALLOWED to play for money on FTP? We have a choice to buy or not buy Chinese products, We do not have a choice as Americans when it comes to FTP now do we? Man Allen, that is really a lame excuse.. Man up and tear off that patch!!
I think it is a flat out slap in the face to those of us who are owed money by FTP, and cannot play for money on FTP, when FTP sponsored AMERICAN players wear FTP patches at an AMERICAN sponsored and played in our country event!
The next time any of you see someone wearing an FTP patch, ask them “WHAT IS IN IT FOR YOU?” There has to be something in it for them to be so bold and brazen to wear the patch of a company who owes over 100 million dollars to US AMERICAN PLAYERS!
Notice that Mike is not wearing The FTP patch.. I was as strong here in my opinion as I was with My Brother not to wear the patch. I am glad Mike has chosen to do the right thing, or even better said, chosen NOT to do the wrong thing…
You players wearing FTP patches, think about it carefully the message you are sending out there. Remember, The WSOP will not allow patches to be worn on the featured tables. The WSOP is an American event, FTP hoping to attract new AMERICAN PLAY MONEY ACCOUNTS? lol!!
So why are you wearing those patches? TEAR THEM OFF until at least FTP settles what is owed to American players! And Yes, FTP does have a target date to pay, and I beleive they will meet that target.. However, SHOW ME DA MONEY, Then wear that patch proudly! Wear it now, WEAR IT IN SHAME!

How “Black Friday” should have been avoided
How “Black Friday” should have been avoided
This whole mess could have been avoided if the sites and PPA actually took the right route in this. That is, leaving The USA Market in 2006, then fighting very hard to bring suits challenging the UIEGA’S legality in whole, while pushing for real regulation at the same time. The sites had ample time to do so. but choose to be somewhat apathetic in their efforts. So while it is somewhat bullshit, seeing that real criminals, such as many in the financial sector and WallStreet should be the ones prosecuted. However, FTP, PS, and AP brought this on themselves if you step back and consider everything that has gone on.

Online poker busts; what we can expect to come next
Online poker busts; what we can expect to come next
Simply put, these sites cannot meet any cash out demands because these assets, along with more assets, are frozen and will be frozen. I expect legit payment processors to ” run for cover” and distance themselves from FTP and PS. Now FTP issued a statement claiming they beleive online poker is legal, as do ” some of the best legal minds in The USA”.. Well, SO DO I!!

The Pokerstars and Fulltilt situation, some facts and my opinion on what is next
The Pokerstars and Fulltilt situation, some facts and my opinion on what is next
First off, in spite of what FTP and PS says, this does effect players beyond The USA. 76 Bank accounts have been frozen by The Feds in 14 countries world wide. Simply put, these sites cannot meet any cash out demands because these assets, along with more assets, are frozen and will be frozen. I expect legit payment processors to ” run for cover” and distance themselves from FTP and PS. Now FTP issued a statement claiming they beleive online poker is legal, as do ” some of the best legal minds in The USA”.. Well, SO DO I!! but this is not about online poker in and of itself, but offshore sites engaging in alleged money laundering and fraud, in order to CIRCUMVENT THE UIEGA, tricking banks to process these payments, when The UIEGA clearly states it is illegal for them to do so, WILLINGLY, KNOWLINGLY!
In my opinion, the only chance FTP and PS has to beat this case, is for their attorneys to argue that the UIEGA in and of itself is unconstitutional. The Federal Reserve is supposed to be the oversite with jurisdiction. How can a privately held institution like The Fed have this kind of authority? Also, it appears to be a violation of “equal protection under the law” Article 9, I beleive. Why were some Sports betting and horse racing sites in The USA and abroad allowed to have their payment processors process these bets, wheras online Poker sites were not? Having said all of this, it is likely you will not see your money ever again. It will be seized by The USA GOV, just like they seize alleged Drug dealers money and possesions. I also beleive The USA will claim that the very servers themselves the sites use to run the games, were built and maintained from “illegal and illicit gains”, therefore they will seize those servers with the aid of foreign countries where the servers reside, and effective shut down FTP and PS indefinetly world wide. I have more to say in the coming days over this issue so stay tuned!

The Lakers and Kobe are arrogant
The Lakers and Kobe are arrogant
Just when it looked like The LA Lakers were set to crush to the one seed out west, and just after an impressive come from behind win against The Utah Jazz at Utah, The Lakers have now dropped 3 straight games. as a life long Laker fan, and knowing this team inside and out, it appears the win at Utah gave The Lakers a sense of “arrogance” as if ” we can come behind from any decifit in any game, and win. During their 3 game losing streak, The Lakers went back to lazy and selfish Basketball, namely Kobe Byrant, holding the ball on offense, allowing defenses to set up in the proper positions, and allowing easy help rotations. Meanwhile, Andrew Bynum continues to post a high field goal percentage during the 3 games, but has not been nearly enough post entries to be an effect scorer. This really bothers me about Kobe and The Lakers. Kobe’s shooting percentage during these 3 games is horrid, as he just continues to insist to put up low percentage shots, hold the ball, dribble into double teams, and try to take over too many games late. The Lakers started off their last loss against The Utah Jazz at home, with good ball movement, post isolation dump offs, and effective pick posting. Bynum gets the ball, Gasol gets the ball, and they ” go to work”… This is what gives The Lakers an advantage over the rest of the NBA.

Full Tilt Poker Partnership In Online Poker Deal
Full Tilt Poker Partnership In Online Poker Deal
Well the strong rumor about Full Tilt Poker in talks with Stations Casinos panned out to be true. Yesterday, March 30 2011 Fertitta Interactive and Full Tilt Poker agreed on a partnership to operate an Online Poker site if/when there is federal approval. Fertitta Interactive is co-owned by the Fertitta brothers Frank Fertitta III and Lorenzo Fertitta (co owners of Station Casinos and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)). The UFC is also a sponsor and provides huge prizes in The Make Poker Legal Online Poker Room. Tom Breitling and Tim Poster (founders of Travelscape which was eventually sold to Expedia.com) are also part of the partnership. Breitling has said that the partnership will only back on legislation on a federal level and not Assembly Bill 258. Assembly Bill 258 is the Nevada Legislature and authorizes the state to legalize Internet poker; which is currently being debated in the state of Nevada. Pokerstars is backing Assembly Bill 258; maybe this is why this new partnership with Full Tilt and Fertitta Interactive is not.

Winner of Durrrr Challenge Disqualified
Winner of Durrrr Challenge Disqualified
There is a lot of controversy surrounding this past Sunday’s finale of Full Tilt Poker’s Challenge Durrrr and who the real winner is. The Durrrr Challenge gave online poker players who play on Full Tilt Poker a chance to play against Tom Dwan aka “Durrrr”. In February players started to earn points while they played cash games over a two week time period. The top 750 poker players would then play in a series of freerolls. Once the final 9 players were determined, they would eventually be a part of the “matrix”. Those 9 players would play 4 sit n go’s against each other to determine who would go on to play Tom Dwan

Intentionally walking The Barry Bonds Perjury Trial
Intentionally walking The Barry Bonds Perjury Trial
Have you guys have enough but this Barry Bonds perjury trial? I know I have, and I’m sick and tired of this witchhunt waste of taxpayers money shit. Give Bonds a 4 pitch intentional free pass, and be done with it already!
So Bonds might have lied about using steroids, and I really stress the words “might have”.
Did anyone really care back in 2001 when Bonds smacked 73 home runs? As I recall, people were glued to their TV sets just to see how many home runs he might hit. We were all wondering “will he break McGwire’s record?” “And if he break McGwire’s record, would he be able to hit over 75 home runs?” How many people back then were all that obsessed with whether or not Barry bonds was taking steroids?

106 Year-Old loves The Lakers and Kobe, hates on Lamar Odom!
Charlotte is not the sort of fan who shouts at the TV, but if she does have a gripe, it’s usually with Lamar Odom. She complains that the Lakers forward and husband of reality TV star Khloe Kardashian, “isn’t energetic enough.”
Her eyesight is going though, Tony tells me, so Charlotte sometimes blames Odom for things that aren’t even his fault. “She’ll get mad that Lamar is missing a basket when in reality he actually made it.”

Professional Gamblers Can Now Fully Deduct Business Expenses
Professional Gamblers Can Now Fully Deduct Business Expenses
Are you a successful poker player? If you’re a professional gambler, we have news that will get your blood pumping. According to a recent article in the Las Vegas Review-Journal and a leading poker tax authority, professional gamblers can now deduct business expenses, even in the event of an overall loss. Now, out of pocket expenses like driving to and from a casino and any fees that may be incurred along the way can be written off as expenses.
A side benefit to the ruling, according to the Review-Journal, is that it legitimizes gambling as a profession. The article quotes Steve Johnson, a professor at the University of Nevada’s Boyd School of Law, as saying, “What the decision says is that gambling is a business trade that is not any different than any other profession. A professional gambler can deduct business expenses.”

Barney Frank and John Campbell Introduce Internet Gambling Bill
Barney Frank and John Campbell Introduce Internet Gambling Bill
John Campbell (R-CA) and Barney Frank (D-MA) introducing the Internet Gambling Regulation, Consumer Protection, and Enforcement Act. The bill’s number was not known at press time.
The news was released around 6:45pm ET on Thursday and the measure strongly resembles HR 2267, which was rubber stamped out of the House Financial Services Committee last July by a 2:1 margin. HR 2267, despite its approval, did not see time on the House floor and a last-ditch attempt to attach an online poker-only version of it from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) was also unsuccessful.

Prahlad Freidman Accuses Isaac Haxton and Justin Bonomo of Accounting Sharing
Prahlad Freidman Accuses Isaac Haxton and Justin Bonomo of Accounting Sharing
Drama seems to follow Prahlad Friedman wherever he goes. Just months after his latest spectacle – signing a sponsorship with UB.com – Friedman called out two of the top players in the game for account sharing against him during several online sessions. Friedman brought the situation to light on Twitter late last week, accusing Isaac Haxton and Justin Bonomo of switching accounts while playing against him to disguise their identities. He used examples of stats and graphs from PokerTableRatings.com as evidence. It was a strong accusation and the whole poker world took notice.
Said Friedman on Twitter (see below for more images), “Isaac Haxton and Justin Bonomo share and switch accounts often. Was playing a random guy and looked up his stats. Identical to Hax … Haxton knows I don’t want to play him head up. So scummy… They have been doing this to me for years. No more.” Friedman claimed that Haxton was playing under a different screen name than the one he was registered for on UB.com. He said the account “XXTRMSK8RX” had different playing styles day-to-day and the stats from his losing days matched those of Haxton. “‘xxtrmsk8rx’ is for sure Haxton and the dramatic style change is indicative of when I played ‘zeejustin’ on Full Tilt. Same exact thing happened,” Tweeted Freidman.

Will The Lakers 3 peat? The Key are The B’s
Will The Lakers 3 peat? The Key are The B’s
Will the Lakers 3 peat this year? The key for the Lakers are the B’S. In part, I do mean the Laker big men. But the 2 B’s are Kobe Bryant and Andrew Bynum.
Kobe Bryant without a doubt is probably the most complete player in the NBA, talent wise that is. However, Kobe’s worst enemy is himself. When Kobe’s ego takes over. He plays on sheer emotion and does not use his head. When this happens, Kobe tends to be more of a one on one player. He will tend to hold the ball too much, look for an opening to attack in the lane, which allows defenses to set up help rotations quicker.

March Madness, it is that time of year!
March Madness, it is that time of year!
Well it’s that time this season again, March Madness is upon us! Brackett challenges, office watercooler discussions, failed predictions, and always a Cinderella in The Dance. It looks like this year, Duke will not have such an easy road to the final four. It seems like in times past the tournament selection committee gave Duke an easy ride. This year Duke was made the 1 seed out West, and has to contend with the likes of Uconn, a very hot basketball team, San Diego State University, whose only two losses this year came to BYU. As well, Texas, who has had a very hard stretch at times, but they are very talented basketball team. Those round out the top four in the Western Brackett. It looks to me that Duke will have their work cut out for them if they wish to make it back to the final four. The return of Freshmen Guard Kyrie Irving, who has been out since injuring his big toe back on December 4, will be very key for Duke.

New York Times Discusses Online Poker Bots
New York Times Discusses Online Poker Bots
It’s not every day that poker garners the attention of the mainstream media. On Monday, the New York Times published a rare online poker article focusing on the proliferation of bots.
For those of you new to the game, “bots,” short for “robots,” are computer programs designed to play poker automatically at the virtual tables. All of the actions that a bot takes – bet, raise, call, fold, etc. – are pre-determined based on the play that has already occurred during a hand. Whatever the programmer has coded into the bot is what it will do. Gabriel Dance, the article’s author, explains this early on in the piece.

•Donate online at http://donate.salvationarmyusa.org
•Call 1-800-SAL-ARMY

The Salvation Army World Service Office
International Relief Fund
PO Box 630728
Baltimore, MD 21263-0728
*Many of you have asked about volunteer opportunities to assist relief efforts in Japan. At this time, The Salvation Army is not in need of volunteers. We will be sure to post an update to our blog if this changes.*
Thank you for generous support and continuous prayers for those in Japan. To learn more about our relief efforts, click here.
CLOTHES, WATER, FOOD, AND OTHER IN-KIND DONATIONS:

Please consider donating your used items to your local Salvation Army Thrift Store.

Reply To Travis Makar Interview About Ultimate Bet Scandal
Today I wanted to comment on the recent interview with Travis Makar and subsequent discussions.
Firstly, I want to make sure everyone knows that I never made an offer to pay-off Brainwashdodo and I never did pay or instruct any payment to be made to Brainwashdodo. It is true that he tried to blackmail our company by threatening to release a bunch of confidential company information including financial records and player data. However, after unsuccessfully trying to pursue him with the help of local law enforcement, I simply told him that I was unwilling to pay anything to him.

U.K. analyst issues a bullish opinion on U.S. online gambling legalisation
The respected internet gambling company analyst Michael Campbell, who works for the Daniel Stewart broking company, has issued a bullish opinion that the massive US internet gambling market will sooner or later embrace online gambling legalisation in one form or another.

Could More Federal Online Gambling Arrests Be Imminent?
Could More Federal Online Gambling Arrests Be Imminent?
The transcripts from a previously sealed court proceeding involving a money laundering case have been released recently by the US court system, and the indication is that more arrests may be on the way. An ongoing investigation has been taking place, and now it appears there may have been more people cooperating with authorities.
Michael Garone is at the center of the records, having been accused of money laundering back in 2008. The charges stemmed from an online gambling operation, and Garone pleaded guilty last January to the charges. At the time, it was not known to what extent Garone had cooperated, but the records indicate his information may have been substantial.

If Gambling In Texas Approved, Online Regulations Could Be Next
If Gambling In Texas Approved, Online Regulations Could Be Next
Online gamblers have heard plenty of legislators talk a good game in the past several years in regards to new online gambling regulations for the US. Each time, the online poker players have been let down when the lawmakers failed to follow through on their promises to oversee law changes for the industry.
The next year will be critical for Internet gamblers, and one state in particular could hold the keys to whether or not the laws are changed. That state is Texas, where lawmakers are only now warming to the idea of casinos. The state Legislature will see several casino gambling bills in the new year, and if any pass, it could be a changing of the guard.
