Title: Vegas to Macau to West Ham United. Post by: tikay on November 13, 2015, 12:22:00 PM This is a great read. Bit long - 5 minutes solid - but a spiffing yarn. http://espn.go.com/chalk/story/_/id/14095257/how-world-biggest-bookie-paul-phua-was-snared-fbi-last-year-world-series-poker-walked-away-free-man (http://pnimg.net/w/articles/0/53c/45515ea2ea.png) (http://calvinayre.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/paul-phua-not-guilty-plea.jpg) (http://calvinayre.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/sbobet-paul-phua-fbi-illegal-betting.jpg) (http://www.scmp.com/sites/default/files/2014/07/30/photo_jet_nx888xs_handout.jpeg) (http://macaudailytimes.com.mo/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Hong-Kong-World-Cup-G_Maga.jpg) (http://www.scmp.com/sites/default/files/2014/07/27/paul-phua-map.jpg) Title: Re: Vegas to Macau to West Ham United.

Some decent stuff in there to read. Me neither, it would never have crossed m y mind that ESPN would do stuff like that. The Lady journo seems to have written a fine piece there. Whether the bit about the West Ham floodlight failure is true is another matter, I'm a little sceptical about that. Title: Re: Vegas to Macau to West Ham United.

The authorities insist the dfs and fan duel operations desist in NYC as its gambling, and in the same report say that only the best players win...

Remember, at this year's WSOP "DRAFT KINGS" was plastered all over the tables, & as a WSOP Sponsor. I never watched the November Nine thing, but I believe the plan was to ditch Draft Kings. It now looks like the banks & Payment Processors intend to pull the plug, which would be gg, unless they plan to use Flower Shops & Golf Accessory shops as Payment Processors, & surely no reputable business would do that, would they? http://www.marketwatch.com/story/citigroup-reviewing-whether-to-continue-with-fanduel-draftkings-2015-11-12 Quite a story brewing, I sense. 'Stars are in that market too, if I recall correctly. I wonder which they would rather have in the USA - Fantasy Sports or Poker? I fancy they can't have both, or they might end up with neither.
