Police chief supports casino plan

by Jeanne Todd

`Impossible to stop Thais from betting’

National police chief Sant Sarutanont agrees that the country should legalise casinos.

He said as it was impossible to suppress underground gambling dens, they should be brought out into the open and controlled.

Commenting on the attempt by Thai Rak Thai MPs to seek approval for domestic casinos, Pol Gen Sant yesterday said he personally agreed with the idea because it would help solve economic problems as well as security issues along the border.

“We cannot tell Thai people to stop gambling. Even when they are at the barbers having their hair cut, they bet on licence plates and banknote numbers. Most Asians like gambling. There are underground and mobile gambling dens. As we cannot stop them, we should legalise them,” Pol Gen Sant said.

UFABet Gambling was neither a serious evil nor an offence to others like murder, robbery or drug trafficking, the police chief said.

He promised police would act in line with whatever decision the government took on this matter.

“If the government agrees to open casinos, the police will keep them in order and make them benefit society as much as possible. If the government decides against it, police will …

Ligaz11 Review of Professional Blackjack

by Jeanne Todd

There are many counting systems used by serious blackjack players, but possibly the most commonly used is the High-Low count. Stanford Wong wasn’t the first person to come up with this counting method, but due to his research and published information, his name will forever be linked with it. Professional Blackjack is Wong’s comprehensive description of how to play this system.

 

Wong starts at the beginning, with a description of the game of blackjack, definition of common terms, and basic strategy. This is all the sort of solid information that one would expect from the author. He then moves into explaining the High-Low count system in considerable detail, how it works, what its edge is, how strategy changes with the count for a wide variety of game rules, taking insurance, etc.. This is almost as comprehensive as his work in Basic Blackjack, including such tables as count adjusted strategies for four card hands if the game pays a six card automatic winner. Some of the information, like this last example, is probably more detailed than the reader is likely to need. I can’t imagine that anybody has taken the time to memorize all of these tables. However, the information …

RIO’S SHINE SHADES OVER THE START OF THE FOOTBALL SEASON

The Rio Olympic Games have just finished and that two-week fiesta every four years has rightly had the lion’s share of our hearts and minds again, despite the opening of the European football calendar.

The Olympics is a useful aide-memoire that other sports are out there, rather like the Roman who was employed to whisper “Remember thou art mortal” in the ear of generals returning to the seven hills in triumph.

Rio also served, like London 2012 did, to show the public how elite sportsmen can be good role-models and do not have to cut such greedy, ill-educated figures as so many top footballers do.

The clean and honest endeavour of so many gold medallists always cast footballers’ modest achievements in a poor light again, and the abundance of aggression-free joy from Olympic spectators also served to shine a light on the darker sides of the Beautiful Game.

Only two months before, Europe’s top international sides had gathered in France for Euro 2016 and several city centres were left full of broken glass and blood stains. Rio has its social problems of course but they were not caused by visiting …

Super Bowl Is a Temptation to Gamblers

by Jeanne Todd

EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, N.J. – One by one, they filed in for a Tuesday night meeting of Gamblers Anonymous.

One man wore an Eagles sweat shirt. One remembered the Super Bowl Sunday he spent babysitting his granddaughter, only to find himself with an uncontrollable urge to bet $10,000 on the game, 10 years after his last bet.

Then there was the newcomer, facing his first Super Bowl since he quit a lifelong addiction in which he bet up to $12,000 a game on the NFL.

“It’s a tough week,” he told the gathering. “It’s the trifecta: We’ve got football, the Super Bowl and my favorite team playing.”

For gambling addicts like these, the Super Bowl is anything but super. The buildup to Sunday can be even worse: It is a time to relive bad memories, to fight gnawing temptations, to avoid thinking about the event everyone seems to be talking about.

That’s a difficult proposition, especially here – in a southern New Jersey community awash in Philadelphia Eagles fever. There are “Go Eagles” signs on cars, grocery store circulars advertising Super Bowl snacks and seemingly nonstop coverage of Terrell Owens’ injury on radio and TV.

Verbeek keeps looking … and looking Qq Poker Online

by Jeanne Todd

 

 

Pim Verbeek’s Australia have made it through to their toughest qualifying campaign since joining the Asian confederation – and with a match to spare at that. But a flattering points total wasn’t enough to paper over the cracks of some suspect selections by the new national coach.

 

It’s perhaps not so much Verbeek’s first Qq Poker Online choice side which is suspect. When the canny Dutchman has Australia’s full armoury at his disposal you would tip the Socceroos to be among the World Cup qualifying places at the end of a marathon AFC campaign.

 

It’s more the ongoing and lingering doubts over the identity of the country’s best backup XI.

 

Mind you, Verbeek’s defensive tactics have taken a bit of a bashing too in Australia (he tended to use a pair of holding midfielders in the away games against Iraq and Qatar with just a lone striker upfront), a ploy which stifled any creativity fostered from Harry Kewell’s busy performances.

 

But considering the Socceroos booked their passage into the final 10 with a 3-1 win in Doha – albeit from a Brett Emerton brace from right wing-back – few are bothering to overly quibble.…

Exciting Sunday at Club World Togel Singapore Cup

An exciting pair of matches in the 2011 Club World Cup took place on Sunday at Toyota Stadium, just outside Nagoya.

 

In the early kick off, Al Sadd from Qatar defeated Esperance Sportive De Tunis 2-1 in a fractious match which saw a shoe thrown on to the pitch and a solitary fan run on to the field as Al Sadd wasted time at the end to hold on to a hard fought win over the African champions.

 

Very much against the run of play Asian champions Al Sadd took the lead in the first half with a headed goal from Khalfan Al Khalfan and doubled that lead five minutes in to the second half with a goal from Abdulla Koni with the assist provided by much-travelled Korean center-back Lee Jung-Soo.

 

Esperance pulled a goal back on the hour mark when a free kick from Ousama Darragi evaded everyone and found the net. Al Sadd now Togel Singapore advance to a semi-final against mighty Barcelona fresh from their 3-1 win over Real Madrid in the Spanish clasico.

 

In the later match, J-League champions Kashiwa Reysol advanced to a meeting with Santos on Wednesday after …

Summer holidays? Not in Qq Poker Japan

by Jeanne Todd

 

 

While the rest of the world has at least one eye on the European Championships, the domestic season resumed in Japan on June 25 when Kashima Antlers and Gamba Osaka hosted rescheduled Round 11 fixtures.

 

In a season punctuated by World Cup qualifiers and the Beijing Olympics, Kashima and Gamba were forced to reschedule their Round 11 fixtures against Oita Trinita and Kyoto Sanga FC respectively, as the original match date clashed Qq Poker with AFC Champions League fixtures.

 

Neither side was disadvantaged by the rescheduling, with both coming out 1-0 winners.

 

Kashima were slightly fortunate to do so, winning courtesy of a solitary strike from substitute Danilo in front of a crowd of just 8,286 at Kashima Stadium. His stooping header cannoned in off the underside of the crossbar, after Oita had twice hit the woodwork through Roberto and Mu Kanazaki.

 

In Osaka hosts Gamba triumphed in front of a healthy midweek crowd of 15,840 fans in a Kansai derby, with star midfielder Yasuhito Endo bursting on to an intelligent knock-down from striker Lucas Severino before stroking a pinpoint left-foot finish beyond Kyoto keeper Yuichi Mizutani.

Premiership Bandarqq Betting

A new season kicks off this weekend and see’s the return of Walker’s Word. Another 10 months of non-stop top flight football action begins on Saturday with both the opening and closing matches ripe for picking a couple of shock results at great odds writes David Walker.

 

Saturday 19 August

 

Sheffield United vs Liverpool

Sheffield United make their Premiership return after a 12 year absence at lunch time, to kick off another 10 months of top flight action. The bookmakers are predicting a cakewalk for visiting Liverpool, but Blades boss Neil Warnock will have other ideas. During the 2002/03 Carling Cup, United beat Liverpool 2-1 at Bramall Lane, drew 0-0 at home in 1993/94 and beat the Reds 1-0 the previous year in the Premiership’s debut season. Liverpool may have one eye on their Champions League tie against Maccabi Haifa Bandarqq three days later which still hangs in the balance at 2-1 in the Reds favour.
