Well it finally happened, I have gotten sick and tired of playing online poker. So many crazy folks and annoying players. I need a break, thank god for the blackjack casino it is the perfect way to recharge my dying gambling battery.
Upon my return to poker I think I will sign up somewhere brand-spanking new and become one of those annoying players. I will make every decision at the last possible second and see how fast I can clear the table! Be careful if you sit down to play with LardA$$ because that might just be me.

Bad news for BETonSPORTS, Judge Carol Jackson of the U.S. District Court extended the order, which was scheduled to expire on September 1, at the request of U.S. prosecutors pursuing a tax fraud case against the company.
The company and 12 executives, are the subject of a 22-count indictment alleging the London-based company failed to pay billions of dollars in excise taxes.
The indictment has shaken the online betting industry to it’s core. At Thursday’s hearing prosecutors said they were still trying to serve legal notice of the indictment on the company and expected to be able to do so in London this week.
On August 16, David Carruthers, the former chief executive of the company, was freed on a one million dollar bond with strict rules pertaining to his movements. He is due back in court on Tuesday for an evidentiary hearing.
BETonSPORTS fired Carruthers after his July 16 arrest during a stop-over at a Texas airport and shortly after announced it had shut down its operations in Costa Rica and Antigua that had served U.S. bettors.
