Chairman and chief executive officer of the Las Vegas Sands Corporation Sheldon Adelson doesn't like online poker. In an op-ed piece in a well-known online company followed by an interview with Bloomberg Television, the multi-billionaire American business magnate didn't pull any punches: "It's a threat to our society" a toxin which all good people ought to resist," Adelson wrote. The fast approaching 80 year old who has two teenage sons, has expressed fears that college students, while high on drugs, could gamble away all their money from the privacy of their dorm rooms. Reasons for Adelson's Disdain While Adelson makes claims that online gaming will hurt the brick-and-mortar casino business, he says that is not his reason for opposition."I don't want my children to have the opportunity to become addicted to gaming, and poker in my opinion would be one of the most addictive games because people don't get addicted necessarily to playing blackjack," Adelson further wrote. He even said that Internet Poker was not a game of skill. To say the least, this has not gone over well with online gaming executives. "It's a complete slap in the face to every poker player," said John Pappas, executive director of the Poker Players Alliance. "It's a slap in the face to our organization that spent a lot of time educating lawmakers as to why poker is different, not only because we want it to be so but because it is so. Poker is a game of skill that he seems to deny it calls into question if he really understands the game at all." Adelson's had said that Internet Poker was "fool's gold economically ...a plague and cancer waiting to happen morally ...an insult to poker players everywhere." Where's Online Poker Headed? Meanwhile, American Gaming Association president Frank Fahrenkopf said back in February that all AGA board members including Las Vegas Sands were now in favor of federal online poker legislation. This led to speculation, at the time, that Adelson perhaps had changed his tune. However, the Forbes piece showed this was far from the case. He's not just going to keep his company away from online gaming. His stated goal is to have no less than Congress pass a bill making online gambling illegal.

The world of gambling is filled with hundreds of terms unique unto the field itself. To help you get started on better understanding this world, here are two of them explained (remember, knowledge is power!): Win Big, Lose BigEveryone has heard the term High Roller. Also known as a "whale" in the casino industry, a high-roller is a player who wagers large amounts of money. The great thing about this type of player is that they attract attention and add an element of excitement to an already exciting activity. Because of the inordinate amount of money they wage, high rollers often receive extravagant "comps" from the casino to lure them onto the gambling floors. For known high rollers it is not uncommon to receive free private jet transfers, limousine use and have access to the casino's swankiest suites. The problem with being a high roller is the old saying, "live by the sword die by the sword." That is, when a high roller loses, he loses big. His losses can be devastating, and in some cases, life altering. Sure and SafeIn contrast you have Flat-Betting, that is when someone bets the same amount of money on just about every hand or round in a game. This is the "safe but sure" approach. The belief being that by betting the same amount time and time again, one cannot lose too much. Of course the down side to this is that one cannot also win too much. The upside - Flat betting allows players to play much longer, to stretch out their bankroll, with less dramatic results. In effect, to experience the thrill of casino gambling for a longer time, all the while dreaming about becoming a high roller.Play and Win NowRight now if you check out Omni Casino, which is celebrating "Fifteen Years of Pure Casino Entertainment," you can check out its VIP Club and see what it takes to become a high roller yourself. Or, pick any of the over one hundred other games, all boasting state of the art graphics and modern sounds effects, and put your knowledge of Flat Betting to good use. Good luck!

Seventy-four percent of Indian businesses agree with the basic premise that "legalized sports betting will help curb match-fixing," according to the results of a survey published this week by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry. These businesses are simply repeating what those in the sports betting business already know: that placing a wager is a popular global activity among all cultures, and that the only way to keep it clean is to make it legal, regulated and above board. Match-fixing is a problem in India, and nowhere more so than in the Indian Premier League and cricket betting. A number of separate scandals have rocked the IPL recently, including a TV sting operation exposing players involved in match-fixing The IPL has brought the gentleman's game into the modern era, packing what was once a slow game spread across five days into three hours of non-stop entertainment complete with music, cheerleaders, fireworks and big hitting batsmen. India's gambling laws have not kept up - they remain fixed in the 19 th century, when British colonial law effectively banned the practice. Now, more than ever, these laws need to be revised to fit the 21 st century reality in which sport is big business and sports betting is even bigger business. Legalizing online betting will create a new reality in India and set an example for other countries in the region: it will help spur business and job creation, boost government revenues and give regular Indians the opportunity to gamble in a responsible rather than a murky underground environment. Most importantly, by cleaning up betting and bringing it above ground, it will help prevent the match-fixing and corruption scandals that threaten to discredit popular national sports - in particular the most popular pastime of all, cricket.
