Tiger Woods – Tell Us Your Story

Golf fans, sports bettors, and maybe a billion (or more) people around the world know Tiger Woods as the golfer they expect to win the Masters Golf Tournament or other. Some have even wagered a good sum on the chances he would do it.

But now Tiger Woods' name is in the news, and it's not exactly the sports pages. It's the entertainment websites and worse - gossip blogs.

The world's most famous athlete is getting publicity everywhere, except for the right places.

Woods and his wife Elin, and possibly other women too (Rachel Uchitel - who are you?) have been on the news following a car accident cum mystery. Was he driving forward or reversing? Did he hit a fire hydrant or did his wife hit him with a golf club?

The Woods family refuse to speak to the Florida Highway Patrol, as is their right, and on his blog, Tiger has asked to keep this a personal matter.

If that is even possible, I am not sure. Nor am I sure what the injuries might mean for his future form on the course. If only for losing his edge as an intimidator, now revealed as vulnerable, private, perhaps even weak.

My bet is on him speaking out before someone else does. It ain't too late.

It's the fourth Thursday of November (that is when the holiday is celebrated. Bookmark this page) - HPPAY THANKSGIVING!

Traditionally a celebration of the harvest, welcoming the winter and saying thanks in general, showing gratitude.

Or... it's the Autumn ritual of Football, including Oakland traveling to face America's Team in Dallas and the Giants taking on the Broncos.

Happy holiday :)

US Online Gambling Ban (Still) In the news

Tens of millions of Americans who gamble online in spite of the US ban...

Billions of dollars in potential income via tax if only the US would legalize and regulate online gambling...

A second wind for the semi-struggling Las Vegas and land based casino industry...

World domination...

Absolving law abiding citizens whose fun is playing poker online...

Bringing back jobs and from off-shore destinations...

Ending hypocrisy with all that concerns sports betting in the US...

World domination?! OK, perhaps I’ve gone a bit too far. But in all seriousness, will the tide shift come December as the US Congress debates the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA)?

We hope it does. For all the above reasons...

Online Casinos and Social Networls

Facebook has 300 million members. Twitter quiets critics with 2009 profits. Online casinos - traditionally first to adopt new web technologies - have noticed the social trends.

Online casinos already use Facebook and Twitter to announce promotions, tournaments and other special offers. Some of the offers are exclusive, meaning only players who visit from the social applications receive them.

Online casino Reports too has a Group on Facebook and a Twitter Channel @OCReditor.

Next online casinos will tie to social media applications on the casinos themselves, allowing players to invite friends to tables, expanding chats to Twitter, and additional social features.

Calling Gamblers Attention in Europe, Asia ... the World!

First there was the main site...

In years of operation, Online Casino Reports has gone a long way. At first we had a main site - one large mother-of-all-sites offering gambling news and casino (and poker, and bingo, and sport books and more) reviews.

We have since expanded to offer players in different countries and speaking English and languages other than English their own sites. There they could find gambling news that related to their local markets and reviews of casinos that actually serve players from their country. All of this in their language -English and Chinese, Spanish and Russian, and more.

Now we've bundled these sites into a few groups, offering CONTINENTAL OCR SITES!

On OCR Europe and OCR Asia you can place their mouse cursor over any country on the interactive maps, and with a single click visit the localized site for the country and language of your preference.

EU and Asia are two more sites under the OCR brand.

Playing poker ... at Caesar's ... in the pool ... in November!

These guys are nuts, and this video proves it:



I especially liked the waitress' poise, serving drinks in high heels - in the water.

Apparently, she too is one of the Improv Everywhere team, which "causes scenes of chaos and joy in public places" since 2001.
