Some of the NBA's best teams are looking vulnerable after beginning their playoff campaigns with shock losses to lesser-regarded opponents. The Orlando-Philadelphia match up was turned on its head when the lowly-rated Sixers stole home-court advantage with a shock 100-98 victory in Orlando in game one. Orlando, the third seed in the east, is considered so much better than Philadelphia that it still commands 1.25 odds to win the series with European bookmaker Bwin. Philadelphia has shortened to 4.00. Cleveland, which had the NBA's best regular season record with 66-16, is an unbackable 1.01 to defeat Detroit. In an effort to make that series more exciting, UK bookmaker Ladbrokes is offering a "teaser." The bookmaker has given Detroit 1.30 odds to beat Cleveland in game two after a 16 point head start. In the other matchups in the Eastern Conference, defending champion and second seed Boston is looking vulnerable after struggling to a 1-1 start again the Chicago Bulls. Atlanta, as expected, holds a 1-0 lead in its series against Miami. The West has been a little more predictable so far, with first seed the Los Angeles Lakers leading Utah 1-0, Denver leading Charlotte 1-0, and Texan rivals Dallas and San Antonio tied at 1-1. The most interesting series from a gambler's perspective is between fourth-placed Portland and fifth-placed Houston. Only one win separated the two in the regular season, and the Rockets showed that by winning in Portland in Game 1, to reverse roles and become the new series favorite - at 1.48 to the Trail Blazers 2.70. Cleveland and the Lakers are clear favorites with all bookmakers to face off in the NBA finals in May.
The majority of online gamblers are gambling in a more moderate and disciplined manner than they were in the 1970s, according to a new report by the director of the Harvard Medical School's Addictions Department. The results of Dr. Howard Shaffer's research, which was conducted in conjunction with Austrian-based online gambling company Bwin, show that problem gambling has not increased despite the increase in the amount of general gambling in the United States since the 1970s. In fact, it was found that the proportion of problem gamblers among the population had actually dropped - from 0.7 percent of the population in the 1970s to 0.6 percent of the population today. "The very first thing we learned, which we didn't expect, was that the vast majority, the overwhelming majority, of gamblers online gamble in a very moderate and mild way," Dr. Shaffer said. Dr. Shaffer added that preventing people from gambling online would probably not be effective in reducing problem gambling. He said education and public awareness programs would be more successful in attempts to keep gambling safe from such problems. The report will come as a timely boost for pro-gambling US lawmakers in their push to overturn the 2006 Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA), which effectively banned Internet gambling by outlawing the transfer of funds from a financial institution to Internet gambling sites.

Things got controversial on Celebrity Apprentice this week when comedian Joan Rivers compared World Series of Poker bracelet winner Annie Duke to Adolf Hitler during a dispute between the two contestants. The two began to fight following Duke's victory in episode 8 of the show, after she raised $153,000 for charity Refugees International, compared to Rivers' $92,000 (the most money raised in the eight year history of the Donald Trump-hosted reality TV program). When Duke later referred to herself as "nice", Rivers replied, "Hitler was nice", at which point the name calling got out of control. In a side interview later on, Duke responded to Rivers outburst, saying "That woman is completely f***ing dead to me. One hundred percent... She's a crazy b**** and as far as I'm concerned she can never speak to me again." In an attempt to keep the feud going, Rivers later posted an apology on her Twitter page, but in a twist the apology was not directed at Duke. "I just compared Annie to Hitler," Rivers wrote. "I feel terrible. My apologies to Hitler." Born Annie Lederer, the 43-year-old Duke won a bracelet at the 2004 World Series of Poker $2,000 Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better event and was the winner of the 2004 World Series of Poker Tournament of Champions where she earned the winner-takes-all prize of $2,000,000. She is also a poker coach on Fox Sports Network's Best Damn Poker Show, which is sponsored by the poker site Ultimatebet.
In a surprise and deeply disturbing move this past week, gambling industry owners have been told they are now banned to publish any press releases to their customers using PRWeb in the UK. As PRWeb is a well respected and integral part of many online gambling companies marketing plans, this will certainly leaves a big impact wave behind it. Big name companies are already feeling the sting. Behind the Curtains When approached as to what made this decision so sudden and final, Cari Lyle, the East Coast Manager of Editorial Services, stated that "I apologize for the abrupt notice... This was not a decision that PRWeb willingly made. We received a Cease and Desist letter from the Washington State Online Gambling Commission requiring that we immediately halt the distribution of press releases promoting online gambling sites and content. As PRWeb is located in Washington State, we are required to be in compliance with Washington State laws." As Washington has some of the toughest anti-gambling laws in the United States, it's not hard to see why this has come about. Any resident found to be playing or placing wagers online besides the state sponsored horse-racing is found guilty of a Class C felony. Worldwide Effect PRWeb has a sister site located in the UK, which also falls in line with the cease and desist order. This is sure to cause a major backlash from European companies who have already lost many US players due to the UIGEA bill passed in 2006. Now, they are not even allowed to advertise to non-US players and industry pros. Previous postings are already archived online and unless a contributing member deletes them, they will remain online. However, no new releases for the foreseeable future will be published.
