A player from Canada is the seventh PokerStars millionaire during this Million Dollar Spin & Go promotion period.

Amaya’s world-leading online poker room produced six millionaires in a week, but there wasn’t another winner for a while until ‘Koovoon’ from Canada has become the latest PokerStars millionaire, gambling news report.

Koovoon needed no more than 39 hands to become a PokerStars millionaire. He bagged the $1 million jackpot actually in nine minutes. He was a strong chip leader during virtually the whole tournament and it wasn’t a surprise that it was that easy for him to beat AndyG1810 and Play2win$1kk, who are both from Russia and who both claimed a $100,000 dollar prize in the tournament that started with a $100 buy-in.

Koovoon’s million-dollar winning poker hand was an unsuited A4. The Canadian player moved all-in and AndyG1810 called with KJ unsuited. The flop was 2, A, 6, so Koovoon was in a winning position with a pair of aces. Turn produced a useless 3 while the river was a 6, so Koovoon won the tourney with two pairs, becoming the latest PokerStars millionaire.

And Canada get another millionaire! Congrats to Koovoon who just won $1m! #sosick #pokerstars #spin&go pic.twitter.com/ZIFxoPlrod

Punters tend to bet more and more this year and while they are loosing less than in the previous years, football betting in Vegas expects another record-breaking year.

That would be the fourth straight year when football betting in Vegas broke the record. Punters are doing extremely well this season, however weekends packed with upsetting sports scores in the NFL like week 9 and 10 help Las Vegas sportsbooks a lot to be still in reach for another record-breaking season.

MGM Sportsbook vice president Jay Rood told that football betting in Vegas is up by roughly 10% according to their books. However, the amount of money that the bookies can keep, the hold percentage, is slightly lower than last year at the moment.

Rood said, “Our handle is up, but we just haven’t been able to capitalize on it. Dollar for dollar, we’re just a little behind last year. It seems worse than it’s really been. If you look just at the [hold] percentage you’d think we were getting killed, but really we’re not.”

Football betting in Vegas produced its finest years in the previous three seasons. The Nevada Gaming Control accounted that all sports betting produced a $227 million profit for Nevada sportsbooks in 2014, which was $25 million more than the previous record in 2013. Roughly $113 million of the 2014 profits was produced by football betting in Vegas.

Experts of gambling facts might remember that the previous record was $91 million from 2006. The year when among others the New Orleans Saints tricked football betting in Vegas, recovering quickly after the Katrina and going to the NFC Championship game.

ESPN: Vegas books on pace for another big football year

After a heavy start to the 2015 NFL season, Las Vegas sportsbooks came back in October and November. Operators offering football betting in Vegas were helped by some hectic results and underperforming and/or surprisingly struggling teams.

Westgate Superbook’s head football oddsmaker, Ed Salmons revealed that they actually needed Denver and Green Bay to win to complete their third winning weekend in a row. “Which is just so weird, needing those teams,” he said, and it was actually funny to see those clubs being priced rightfully as underdogs before the game.

He added, “At the end of the day, it’s probably rounding into just an average season. Our handle from September and October was up over last season, and we’re under construction.”

It seems that it is really worth to bet on football this season, as bettors are doing extremely well this year according to online gambling news. Though results are sometimes hard to predict, the NFL has always been a league that is fun and profitable to bet on at land based and online sportsbooks in the US, thanks to the available selection of money line, point spread, total score and half time markets plus the list of prop bets.

Holly Holm caused quite a surprise by delivering the Ronda Rousey upset loss in Melbourne that was the first in the career of Rowdy.

Many punters suffered big money losses and many won big and followers of sports scores news were stunned all over the planet. And the Ronda Rousey upset loss was very painful for land-based and online sportsbooks in Australia and all over the world.

Virtually all the US bookies recorded losses as Holm, who was a 8/1 underdog before the fight, delivered the disastrous last attack. Amongst the losers, MGM sportsbook became the biggest looser. The majority of the punters were backing the underdog, and this caused a six-figure loss to the bookie.

And thank you, Vegas, for putting the odds up like that. We got into some really good money. We got into six figures, I’ll put it that way.”

According to a new study at Unibet Poker that analyzed the performance of poker players, the British are the worst poker players in Europe.

Here is the video of a USD 1,2 million PokerStars Spin & Go final where you can learn how to win one million dollars in a tournament like this.

The showdown between the final three players to decide who is going to win one million dollars in cash at PokerStars started relatively slowly. But then came an all-in with an A9 offsuit from Hungarian ‘minargyuri’ and that was enough to beat Czech ‘KvicKiller’s AK offsuit, ripping him completely off.

By that, ‘minargyuri’ became the chip leader in the final of the million dollar online poker tournament and this is where the heads-up play between him and ‘barrakuuda4’ (Estonia) began. The next all-in from ‘minargyuri’ wasn’t as successful as the first one, falling with an A6 offsuit to an AJ offsuit. After this hand ‘barrakuuda4’ had 85% percent of the chips, so previous leader ‘minargyuri’ was on the edge.

But he was far from being off the table. Switching to a short stack strategy, as any expert of gambling facts would do, he worked his way back to possessing 30% of the chips with a handful of all-ins. Then with another all-in, KJ beating A2s, ‘minargyuri’ was up once again with a slight lead.

From then on, with the blinds raising and even stacks, they were swapping up places constantly. ‘barrakuuda4’ even went down to 20% then two all-ins helped him back to 90%, putting ‘minargyuri’ in a tough position once again, who duly lost the final all-in.

By that, ‘barrakuuda4’ demonstarted how to win one million dollars, with the other two finalists taking home USD 100,000 each. ‘barrakuuda4’ was the sixth PokerStars millionaire in a week, and this thrilling final was worth to watch.

However, the German driver made a mistake that costed him the leading position and eventually, the win. Thus his teammate, Lewis Hamilton was able to win the race and since his main rival, Sebastian Vettel finished third, Mercedes’ British driver clinched his third Formula One World Championship, matching the record of his idol, Ayrton Senna.

It is easy to understand how emotional was this win for Hamilton and the frustration of his teammate is also clear. After the race, in his joy, Hamilton threw the baseball cap for the second placed driver towards his teammate. That hurt the German’s feelings, and Rosberg threw the cap at Hamilton instantly.

 

 

After the event, Hamilton said that he understood the frustration of his teammate, while Rosberg defended himself emphasizing how big his frustration was after he thew away the victory in the end.

Thus his teammate, Lewis Hamilton was able to win the race and since his main rival, Sebastian Vettel finished third, Mercedes’ British driver clinched his third Formula One World Championship, matching the record of his idol, Ayrton Senna.

By signing a USD 2.1 billion facility, the Ladbrokes Coral merger and liquidity in the first years of the new company was just ensured.

Ladbrokes signed a GBP 1.35/EUR 1.8 billion facility to fund the merger with rival land-based and online betting, bingo and casino operator Gala Coral Group, latest gambling news report. This facility will ensure the liquidity of the future company in its first years. The facility will be provided by the company’s partner banks for the Ladbrokes Coral merger.

Chief financial officer Ian bull said, “I am pleased that our relationship banks have shown strong support in putting in place a significant size facility at similar pricing to our current facilities.” He added, “We believe that this facility will provide sufficient liquidity to an enlarged Ladbrokes Coral group following the merger.”

British-based betting and gaming company Ladbrokes officially announced this summer that merger talks with rival Gala Coral group have started. Online casino news reported in July 2015 that an agreement on the deal was reached.

Reuters: Ladbrokes signs $2.1 billion facility to fund Coral deal

 
The facility has three tranches with the first, a GBP 600 million facility, becoming available in October 2016, after the Ladbrokes Coral merger happened. The transformed company is expected to take shape late 2015 or early 2016.

The name of the new company will be Ladbrokes Coral. Ladbrokes chief executive Jim Mullen will be the new company’s CEO. Experts of gambling facts might know that Gala Coral group has a considerable debt. However this debt won’t be transferred to the new company after the Ladbrokes Coral merger.

Ladbrokes also ensured another deal recently. The online gambling firm became one of the official partners of the Australian National Basketball League (NBL). In the 2015-16 season, Labdrokes will be the official online sports betting partner of the NBL.

Ladbrokes was founded in 1886 and today is the largest betting company in the UK. It is also considered as the no. 1 retail bookmaker in the world with more than 2,400 retail betting shops only in the UK and Ireland. Ladbrokes operates several online sportsbooks in the UK, as well as online casinos, online poker rooms and online bingo sites.

The news about not just Sepp Blatter but Michel Platini suspended as well by FIFA Ethics Committee came as a surprise for many sports fans.

The Euro 2016 qualifiers reached a crucial stage and UEFA President Michel Platini suspended – as FIFA vice president, online mobile news report. He is still active in his position at the governing body of European football, though he was handed a 90-day long suspension together with FIFA President Sepp Blatter.

This comes after the Blatter corruption charges emerged recently and it is speculated that Platini might have played a part in disloyal payments too. It is useful after all to hold several high positions, especially if you are a key member in an organization that is so full of shit strongly associated with corruption and suspicious activities like FIFA.

When the FBI and the Swiss authorities launched an attack on FIFA leaders earlier this year, there was a feeling that Blatter’s reign could finally be over. This will come eventually, and though he insisted to hold his position until next year’s election, the suspension brought an early end to his time at the top of international football.

The Guardian: Issa Hayatou to be acting Fifa president following suspension of Sepp Blatter

 
Platini had the shortest odds to become the next FIFA President, but this suspension virtually took him out of the race. (If the FIFA ethics committee extends his suspension with the available 45 days, he would have five days for his campaign…)

Though Platini criticized Blatter several times, many followers of live sports results speculated that he was so close to the Swiss sports leader that the Frenchman’s appointment would basically extend the current period full of wrongdoings. The process in which the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cup hosting was allocated to Russia and Qatar respectively is also investigated. Platini was involved in those decisions as well.

And it is also interesting that Platini’s homeland, France was granted the UEFA Euro 2016, virtually the only hosting that was determined during his reign as UEFA president (he was inducted into his office early 2007, a couple of months before the UEFA Euro 2012 was granted to Poland and Ukraine).

If he would face corruption charges as FIFA vice president, would he be still recognized as an immaculate and trustworthy sports leader at the helm of the UEFA? And what does his “ban from all football-related activities” mean as UEFA president? Who will run the organization as the Euro 2016 qualification is reaching its climax, with Platini suspended?

PokerStars set a new record for the largest online poker tournament with more than 250,000 players.

PokerStars beat its previous record by organizing the largest online poker tournament with 253,698 participators – more than the population of Wolverhampton in the West Midlands, or St. Petersburg in Florida. The online poker tournament was a USD 0.01 Common Cents Kick-Off tournament and it was more successful than any online poker competition before.

The tournament was won by an Austrian online poker player, DaDumon. He paid the 0.01 buy-in to cash out $10,000 just six and a half hours later. The ratio of his poker winnings to his deposit is one-million to one and this is an excellent gambling result.

The largest online poker tournament had a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool. Tickets to the Common Cents Main Event tournament were also randomly awarded for lucky players in the first hour of the competition. The Main Event is scheduled to October 11, and until then more than 10 other Common Cents online poker tournaments will be held with less than USD 1 buy-ins.

When the former record of PokerStars was set two years ago, 225,000 players were registered. That was the part of the 100 Billion Hands Celebration. Though many think that online poker is not as popular as it was a few years ago, you don’t have to be an expert of gambling facts to tell that the game is still vastly popular amongst internet gambling players around the world.

Last week was a busy seven days so lets take a moment to look back at some of the stories that hit our headlines and those of publications around the world

At NASA scientists announced the discovery of water on the surface of Mars. The highly salted liquid forms dark stains on the terrain and only flows during the summer months before drying out in autumn. The precise origin of the liquid is as yet unknown but scientists hope that its discovery could lead to more precise searches both for life on Mars and potential sites for human habitation in the future. “Mars is not the dry, arid planet that we thought of in the past.” said NASA.

In the Middle East Russian combat aircraft conducted military operations over Syria as keen ally of President Bashar Assad, Vladimir Putin, launched attacks on various rebel groups currently fighting the nation’s ongoing civil war. This included some anti-Assad groups supported and financed by the US who denounced the presence of Russian forces in the area and described the bombings as “indiscriminate”. US air operations over Syria continued uninterrupted despite the Russian sorties.

In Roseburg, Oregon, a student opened fire at Umpqua community college killing nine classmates and wounding nine others. The gunman, 26 year old British born Chris Harper-Mercer, who was enrolled at the college on a writing course, apparently targeted Christians in his attack. Police say they recovered a dozen legally purchased weapons from both his person and home and that Mercer killed himself as police moved in after a short gun battle. His motives were not immediately clear.

Meanwhile Stephen Hawking once again warned against possible alien invasion comparing any encounter Humans might have with extraterrestrials as being akin to the result of Columbus discovering America on the Native Americans. “Advanced aliens,” he said, “would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach.” His comments were made to “raise public awareness about the importance of space flight”.
