One of the strange bets that I bet on this month is whether or not someone will be arrested for the racial and homophobic abuse Sol Campbell got when he was playing for Portsmouth against Spurs at the beginning of the month.

There was over 40000 people in the crowd but as the incident has received so much press coverage the police are trying to pick out one or two individuals who were responsible.

The bet which I managed to get is that one person will be arrested in connection with the abuse and charged before the end of the year at 10-1.

I’m not keeping my fingers crossed as its a long shot but if it happens I Will be a tenner up. Woot.

I think I would have got better odds on the lottery.

This is an old clip but Daniel Negreane is playing one on one with a old time player called Jerry Russ and for most of the match Jerry called out what card he thought was coming next, then when it finally came down to it on the last hand when both players were all in Negreanu turns the table on its head by calling out what the turn card will be and the river and predicts both getting him a straight flush to win the match.

Now I’m playing a match next week and I’m thinking if it can work once I’m sure it can work twice so I’m going to try it as a put off technique but video it as it happens to prove it if it works.

What this clip of Negreanu who again reads another player and predicts the cards again this guy really does have a sixth sense.

I need to get some mystic meg skills or learn how to read players better rather than drinking all game long.

Macau has been the most successful casino in the past ten years within the industry but everyone is saying that it is finally on the down turn. One of the main problems is the Chinese government have make slight changes to the visa conditions for all the visitors in the Guangdong to the Macau area. The changes that have happened have put the gaming industry back years.

Currently the visa strict guide lines between Guangdong and Macau which give people rights to go to the are once every 2 months have now been changed to every 3 months. Now with this change we are seeing we are seeing that the gambling industry was not ready for this. Lots of people are not aware that Guangdong houses the main point for visitors to Macau and now the changes will more than half the repeat visitors and will really hurt the area.

This new sanction is bound to get on the nerve of US casino groups who have thrown millions at the casino region over the past few years. How can these figures now be reacquired and will the investors stay in the sector?

The wsop is over and no one would have said it would have taken a record 484 hands that award the winner with the greatest crown available in poker which was awarded at Leicester square in London. Take a bow John Juanda who claimed the title for America which is also  first plus claiming a massive $1,598,587 jackpot. Now if we look at the actual stats you will find that the final wasn’t easy for John Juanda and he earned that cash!

The actual time for this was 19 hours and 10 minutes and took 484 hands to complete. This is now in the Guinness book of world records and is the longest final ever at the World Series of Poker and I don’t think it will ever be beat!

So who is John Juanda?

The now legend has entered the WSOP 45 times and he has been on the final table 23 times. Born in Indonesia the new poker star now resides in the USA in which he studies MBA.

This is obviously John Juanda’s largest win of jackpots but if you track his earlier career he has won multiple  $100,000 pots so we knew he could eventually do it!
