Most everyone has heard of "Arabian Stallions," a breed of horse that originated on the Arabian Peninsula. Currently, they are one of the top ten most popular horse breeds in the world and today, Arabian bloodlines are found in almost every modern breed of riding horse. And this is a part of the world that has a true historic love of horses dating back thousands of years. There are claims that horses originated in the Fertile Crescent, that area of moist and fertile land that sweeps westward from Iraq all the way to the Nile Valley.To Bet Or Not To Bet Combine this affection for these beautiful creatures with a culture that frowns heavily on gambling, and you can imagine the quagmire that the world's largest horse racing prize, the 2013 Dubai World Cup with an estimated $10 million dollar purse, could produce. So, it is a little difficult to explain that attendants at this race were not betting at the Meydan Racecourse. According to some, Islam is a place where "real horse racing can exist without the smut." In other words, while extravagant living (read "gambling, etc.) go hand in hand elsewhere, Dubai in particular wants to prove that premiere horse racing does not need gambling. How To Define Gambling Online betting has a presence around the world, like at William Hill and bet365 sports, two of the most respected online gaming casinos around and where horsebetting is open, legal, and welcome. But there are multiple references that say the U.A.E. blocks websites including online gambling websites and any offshore cruise ships that anchor on U.A.E. shores. Despite this, there are recent examples discussing U.A.E. betting such as the Dubai Duty Free Lotteries. Interestingly, Dubai Duty Free has been one of the sponsors of the Dubai World Cup. This raises an eyebrow to the definition of gambling because lotteries are technically gambling. The laws in the U.A.E. may be fierce, but evidently raffles are okay. Where there is a will, it seems there is always a way.

Online poker's next cinematic hit is just around the corner, with the trailer for Runner, Runner released a few months ahead of its September 27 launch in movie theaters. Runner Runner Produced by Leonardo DiCaprio, Runner Runner is the story of a poor Princeton college student name Richie Furst (Justin Timberlake) who is cheated out of his tuition money when an online poker game goes bust. When Furst finds out that the site which cheated him is hosted from a remote island, he travels there for a showdown with a corrupt offshore businessman named Ivan Block (Affleck). The twist is that he ends up working for Block and becomes a pawn in the subsequent FBI chase. Online Poker in Cinema Online poker has been the subject of many Hollywood hits over the past decades, including Rollers, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and a number of James Bond film including a recent one starring Daniel Craig - Casino Royale. Rounders, which was released in 1998 and stars Matt Damon and Edward Norton in a film about two friends on a mission to pay off their large debts, is perhaps the most popular poker movie of all time, so it will be interesting to see if Runner Runner enjoys the same amount of success.
One of the best things about summertime is the non-stop international football action between top countries. The gloss of the big weekend of World Cup 2014 qualifiers continues tonight when heavyweights Croatia and Portugal clash in what should be an exciting friendly match on neutral ground in Geneva, Switzerland. Croatian coach Igor Stimac will be hoping his team improves following their stunning 1-0 defeat at the hands of Scotland in Zagreb on Friday. That surprise loss left the heavily-favored Croats three points behind Belgium in UEFA's Group A of World Cup qualifying, and in danger of missing out on a ticket to Brazil. Portugal is also not a certainty for making it to Brazil 2014. Their 1-0 win over Russia on the weekend saw them leapfrog Russia and Israel to top of the Group F standings, but the Russian team has been the pacesetter during qualifying and has two games in hand over their Portuguese rival. William Hill's pre-game betting odds have Portugal going in as a slight favorite. Portugal are 13/10 to win the game, Croatia are 21/10 to win, and the draw is paying 9/4. As this is a friendly that will end after 90 minutes regardless of the score, there are no further odds on match result. Despite its friendly status, Hill has a wide range of other pre-game odds on Portugal-Croatia, including Correct Score, First Half Betting, whether there will be a goal scored in the first five minutes, and plenty more. Live betting will also be available for all William Hill Sports customers. Simply log in to the in-play betting function during tonight's game and place live wagers on match result and play-by-play scenarios. The odds change by the second as the game is played out on the field.
The producers of BET RAISE FOLD, a new documentary aiming to clear online poker's image, have turned to crowdfunding site Kickstarter in an effort to raise funds. $20k Target Achieved The target goal of $20,000 was met at the start of June, but with the fundraising campaign set to continue until the end of the month the producers are already estimating they will come out with a total budget of at least $24k. As is the case with most Kickstarter fundraising efforts, the minimum pledge for the BET RAISE FOLD doco is $1, with donors set to reap dividends ranging from as little as a digital copy of the film to as much as $10,000, the title of "poker god" in the film credits and the title of executive producer on its IMDB page. Rebuilding Poker's Image The filmmakers stated on their Kickstarter site that they are producing the documentary in order to rebuild online poker's image and to help it emerge from "a dark time" in which it was banned by US lawmakers, targeted by the US Justice Department and attacked by anti-gaming lobbyists. In their words, "One of the major goals of our film is to tear down misconceptions that the general public has about poker and online poker. Our film humanizes professional poker players and reveals the truth about poker culture, poker strategy, the poker community, and the incredible passion so many people have for the game."
The Powerball Lottery is one of the biggest lotteries in the world, with prize money regularly hitting hundreds of millions of dollars. The most recent mega-money winner in the $590 million Powerball has just been announced. Gloria C. Mackenzie from Zephyrhills, Florida, came forward to claim her prize. Largest Jackpot Prize Ever Recorded The $590 million jackpot has been deemed the largest ever in the history of the Powerball Lottery. Multiple states run the Powerball, making it one of the most lucrative lotteries in the world. It was estimated that by the time of the drawing some 80% of all the possible number combinations had been purchased, meaning that the statistical probability of someone winning was very high. That winner turned out to be Gloria C. Mackenzie. She purchased her ticket on May 18 th , 2013. Mackenzie shunned the press, not wanting to have her face splashed across media channels the world over. But the world was watching when she came forward to claim her prize. The May 18 th drawing was one of the most anticipated ever and according to an affiliate of Florida ABC, Mackenzie arrived at the state's HQ on Wednesday afternoon. Gloria decided to give 50% of her winnings to her son Scott. The winning ticket was purchased in Publix - a fresh produce store - as a quick-pick ticket. Another lottery player allowed Gloria to go ahead and take the quick pick, a move that resulted in the massive winnings. Florida's law prohibits the Lottery winners remaining anonymous. The town that Mackenzie resides in, Zephyrhills is home to some 13,000 people. Most everyone was eager to learn who among them was the lucky winner. Back in 2012, a massive $587 million lottery was split between 2 players.
