Congratulations to our Fellow Canadian Bettor! |
|
From Gambling911.com A Canadian sports bettor recently witnessed a $27,000 payout betting a mere $5. He did it at one of the world's leading online sports betting companies, Sportingbet.com. It was done on a baseball accumulator bet. Accumulator Bets are only now becoming popular in Canada. These are progressive wagers that allow a bettor to lay down a small amount of money on a series of bets, with the original stake plus winnings from one event placed as the stake on the next event. In this case, the bettor placed a $5 wager on a total of 14 baseball wagers, including moneylines, runlines and over/unders. All 14 cashed. The first bet was a moneyline wager on the Los Angeles Angels to beat the Oakland Athletics on the road. The Angels won as a +109 moneyline road dog. Those winnings - the original stake plus profit - were then placed on the New York Mets to beat the Baltimore Orioles. The Mets won as +112 road underdogs. That money was bet on a matchup between the Florida Marlins and Boston Red Sox, with the Red Sox cashing as -1.5 runline favorites at +115. After nine more winning bets - which included five moneyline, three over/under and one runline wagers - the whole amount was placed on the final matchup: the Pittsburgh Pirates at the Minnesota Twins. The Twins won as -133 moneyline favorites and the bettor suddenly found himself with nearly 27 thousand dollars in profit. |

Harrah's Interactive Based in Montreal |
|
by Poker News Daily The newly formed Harrah’s Interactive Entertainment, led by former Party Gaming CEO Mitch Garber, will be based in Montreal, Canada. An article in the Montreal Gazette revealed that an online gaming platform is in the works. Last month, it was announced that Garber would team with current World Series of Poker Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack to launch Harrah’s Interactive Entertainment. Its main thrust was to grow the WSOP brand worldwide and, according to the Montreal Gazette, “offer online gaming in the U.K. and potentially elsewhere in Europe where it is legal and government-licensed.” The news outlet noted that Harrah’s already has a license with the Channel Island of Alderney. Garber hails from Montreal originally and located nearby is the Kahnawake reservation, home of the famed Gaming Commission. The Gazette added that Garber’s Montreal office has 10 staff workers and will perhaps grow to include more than 10 times that amount. He told the Canadian news agency, “There is a hunger for World Series of Poker events, like PGA golf, with events taking place everywhere, whether it is Moscow, Montreal, [or] Rome. Our intent is to deal with government and licensing authorities in every jurisdiction to grow the World Series of Poker.” Garber is an investor in the now-privately held Harrah’s Entertainment, which was removed from the New York Stock Exchange in 2008 after a private buyout. |
