WIN BIG

Jackpot Rewards(TM) held its
first Jackpot drawing on Monday, February 25. As part of that drawing, 115
people qualified for the $1 million drawing that will be held this Sunday,
March 2 -- where one person will win a guaranteed $1 million Jackpot.
Sunday's drawing will be the best odds ever of winning a $1 million
jackpot.

   "These are extremely good odds in comparison to those given in other
sweepstakes games and much better than any state lottery," said Richard
McGowan, Ph.D., a professor of statistics at Boston College and a
nationally recognized expert in gaming. "In fact, to my knowledge these are
the best odds ever to win a $1 million jackpot."

OTHER SWEEPSTAKES GAMES           Prize       Odds

   Publisher's Clearinghouse sweepstakes   $1 Million  1 in 699,190,799
   Lycos Lotto sweepstakes                 $1 Million  1 in 699,190,799

   "On Sunday one person is guaranteed to win the $1 million jackpot,"
said Jim Miller, Jackpot Rewards' founder and CEO. "Think about what you
would do with $1 million -- pay off your mortgage, send the kids to
college, retire in style, or make one of your dreams come true. You have
never had a better chance to make your dreams come true. The bottom line is
everyone should be in this game."

   Jackpot Rewards has drawings for jackpots of over $100 million every
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday -- and a guaranteed $1 million winner every
Sunday.

Daniel Negraneau Stacked for Playstation

I recently tried the playstation game "Danie Negraneau Stacked". The graphics are great, and it was neat to peek at my cards like in real life, and you can choose what emotion to display. But I must say I would much rather be playing for real money on multiple tables on the computer.

But it did get me thinking... wouldn't it be cool to combine the great PS graphics and the comfort of the living room couch and big tv with real money playing .... and what if one of the online rooms added the emotion/face feature to add another element to online playing?

As they progress through the game’s career mode, players will encounter seven of poker’s most decorated pro players: Josh Arieh, Jennifer Harman, Erick Lindgren, Juan Carlos Mortensen, Evelyn Ng, David Williams and Daniel Negreanu himself, each with a custom AI bot that matches their real-world play style. Players can access the game’s Poker School mode at any time to learn from nearly an hour of video tips and strategies from Daniel Negreanu, covering all aspects of the game from basic rules to advanced guidance for tournament victory.

STACKED lets players compete online against the best players in the world in a unique multi-table tournament system known as STACKED Masters.

Women take on the men at poker - and come up with aces

The talents required of a poker player are traditionally male traits: aggression, the ability to lie and hide your emotions. And, of course, staying up late smoking cigars.

But women are finally breaking into the world of poker and some are beating the men at their own game.

Britain's first live all-women poker championship is being held this summer with an estimated prize of £100,000 and a promise of "celebrity status in the poker world".

Poker has emerged from smoky back rooms and has exploded in popularity, first by being shown on television and now by the popularity of internet games.

Suddenly it is not only respectable but fashionable to play, attracting more women and young people. Women are still in a minority, but they have come a long way from the days when a female face around the table was rare.

A YouGov poll last year showed that women made up 30 to 40 per cent of online players. In casinos, the proportion of women is estimated to have increased from one to five per cent of players.

Britney Spears saga continues...

A couple days ago, I posted "Will Britney Spears sue over a broken high chair?".

This story gets even more interesting, and it comes from MSNBC...

"the antics of current white trash pinup girl Britney Spears and her no-means-of-visible-support husband Kevin Federline. The real-life Beverly Hillbillies recently got a visit from the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services and a deputy sheriff. It seems a doctor reported their baby, Sean Preston, suffered a skull fracture six days before he was brought to the hospital. Two months earlier, Britney was caught driving with baby Preston on her lap."
