By: PokerGame.org  The World Series of online bingo games has had a profound effect on poker in recent years, mostly thanks to something called the &#8216;Moneymaker Effect.&#8217; Named after the winner of the 2003 casino WSOP, Chris Moneymaker, the Moneymaker Effect describes the awesome impact he had on poker in the United States and around the world&#8230; a</p>

With enforcement of the UIGEA scheduled to begin on December 1st, I thought now would be a good time to start talking about the future of US online poker deposit options.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Old news: Annie Duke&#8217;s boytoy boinks boozy Judas </b><br />The man sat at the bar under a cloud of tight curly hair. It was as if the hair thunderhead had sprung a storm and the downpour produced a guy with bad pickup lines. Beside him sat a pretty woman. She wasn&#8217;t drinking for fun. Her order&#8211;shots and beer&#8211;had purpose. The drunker she got, the more she wanted to run naked in the hair storm.   I&#8217;ll be honest, Joe Reitman&#8217;s hair has always freaked me out. Reitman looked like was wearing make-up. He threw out some line like, &#8220;If I order you one drink, I get to talk to you for ten minutes. If I order you four drinks I get you for an hour and half. If I order you more, I get you all night.&#8221;  That&#8217;s not a direct quote. It wasn&#8217;t recorded for posterity, because the next thing anyone knew Reitman&#8217;s pants were around his ankles and he was humping the girl known as Gayle in the parking lot. His bad pick-up line wasn&#8217;t as bad as it seemed. He probably didn&#8217;t notice the girl was about to cry. But, be honest. If somebody was pumping on you and letting that hair bounce all around your head and shoulders, you&#8217;d probably cry, too.  When I saw it happen, I turned to my wife.   &#8220;I think that&#8217;s Annie Duke&#8217;s boyfriend!&#8221; I said.   My wife snored.  ***  I guess I don&#8217;t keep up with pop culture well enough to know the occupations of pro players&#8217; bed buddies. That is, I didn&#8217;t know Reitman was an actor.  What I&#8217;d just seen was one of his breakout performances, this time as &#8220;Bar Customer&#8221; in the 2005/2006 Showtime series &#8220;Sleeper Cell.&#8221; You might also have seen him in such roles as &#8220;Hippie boy,&#8221; &#8220;Radio Station Manager&#8221; and &#8220;Regulator 2.&#8221;  I don&#8217;t say any of the above to poke fun at Reitman. He has been married to and presumably slept with Shannon Elizabeth. Just because he played &#8220;Freshman&#8221; on 90210 doesn&#8217;t mean he isn&#8217;t 100 times cooler than I am.   I only bring it up because I&#8217;d honestly forgotten Reitman&#8217;s name. I&#8217;d seen him around Vegas and always with Duke. As I struggled in vain to remember the guy&#8217;s real name, I wondered how Reitman would feel about me Googling him as &#8220;Annie Duke&#8217;s boyfriend.&#8221;  I had to know, though. I&#8217;ve recently been watching the new-to-me &#8220;Sleeper Cell&#8221; on DirecTv&#8217;s 101 network. In this episode, the boozy bitch was about to turn on her boyfriend. That Retiman&#8217;s &#8220;Bar Customer&#8221; sealed the deal was almost poetic. That is, he put his career on hold to make sure we would have Shannon Elizabeth as a star. He deserved a little somethin&#8217; somethin&#8217; for his time.  In fact, he also got Duke in the settlement and that should&#8217;ve been enough. I&#8217;ve heard no rumor of their break-up, so presumably they are happy. I think we all wish them the best.   I&#8217;m simply happy I now have Reitman&#8217;s name locked permanently in my memory. Never again will I think of him as Shannon&#8217;s ex or Annie&#8217;s boyfriend. Now, he will be Joe. Or Joseph. Or Mr. Reitman. Or, after the 2009 release of &#8220;Radio Free Albemuth,&#8221; as &#8220;Prisoner #1.&#8221;             </p>
<p><b>Tink, F%$#! </b><br /> It&#8217;s the first lesson I taught my wife when she joined me for a round on the frolf course.  She&#8217;d never seen disc golf before so I figured I&#8217;d start easy.  **TINK**  &#8220;F%$#!!!&#8221;  It&#8217;s the sound of a disc hitting the basket, but not staying in, and the subsequent reaction of the player.  It only took about 5 minutes before we heard it happen the first time to a player in a group behind us.  It&#8217;s been more than a year since I&#8217;ve been on the disc golf course, and it felt good to be back! The course in E-Vegas is amazing.  All 18 holes have nice concrete tee pads and pictures of the hole at each tee.  In fact, a number of the longer holes have alternate tee pads for women, amateurs and G-Rob.   There&#8217;s a lot to like about the set-up of the course, too.   There are mandatory openings through which you must throw the discs.  There are lots of places where a bad throw could land you out of bounds or in the water.  And the holes offer lots of opportunities for a variety of shots.  It&#8217;s a longer course than Timmons Park back in Greenville, but it also doesn&#8217;t have as many Death Star trench-like shots either.  On this day, I managed just one birdie (despite what the course suggests, regular frolfers consider all holes to be a Par 3).  But I was happy with how I threw considering it had been so long since I was on a course.  And I can&#8217;t wait to get back out and do it again!  Plus, this gives the guys from G-Vegas just one more reason to visit.  1) Free place to stay.  2) Casino boat with poker room.  3) Disc golf course.  4) And for Bad Blood&#8230; some adult establishments.               </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>BREAKING: Betonsports CEO pleads guilty to federal charges </b><br />Today, former Betonsports.com CEO and Director David Carruthers pleaded guilty to federal racketeering charges.  The U.S. Attorney&#8217;s Office says the Betonsports organization&#8217;s conspiracy included:  &#8220;Creating and disseminating advertising throughout the United States which represented that its Internet and telephone gambling operations were legal and licensed.  They failed to disclose known material facts, namely that the U.S. government and most state governments viewed such operations as illegal, and that they did not have a license to operate legally anywhere in the United States.&#8221;  &#8220;Representing to potential customers that money transferred by them to BetonSports on account was safe and readily available to be withdrawn at anytime.  BetonSports was actually using the funds to support and expand its operations, including the purchase of Easybets.  When BetonSports ceased operations in July 2006, it could not repay its customers over $16 million held on account.&#8221;  Carruthers now faces up to 20 years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines.  He will be sentenced on October 2nd.  The man who hired Carruthers also faces charges along with four other individuals.  Those charges range from RICO conspiracy to mail fraud to the interstate transportation of gambling paraphernalia.  That trial is scheduled for September.             </p>

<p><b>Greatest College Basketball Game. Ever. </b><br />I&#8217;m prone to hyperbole.  And hyperbole in headlines helps bring readers.  Was last night&#8217;s six overtime marathon between Syracuse and Connecticut the greatest college basketball game ever played?  Probably not.  But let&#8217;s take a closer look:   The Stakes  This is where this game is lacking.  The quarterfinals of the Big East tournament just can&#8217;t match the intensity of an NCAA tournament game.  In this case, each team was guaranteed a spot in the Big Dance regardless of outcome.  For these teams, however, the stakes were high.  It&#8217;s a pretty intense rivalry and a prime-time game at Madison Square Garden is a big deal for these players.  Also, UCONN had lost 4 straight openers in the Big East tourney and wanted this game badly.  And Syracuse is working to improve its seeding.  It was big to these teams, but hardly matched the stakes of a National Championship game or even a game like Duke-Kentucky in the East Regional Finals of 1992.  Quality of Teams  UCONN is one of the top 4 teams in the country.  They&#8217;ve been ranked #1 twice this year and, despite the loss, I think they&#8217;ll still be a #1 seed in the NCAA tourney.  Syracuse was ranked as high as 8th this year and have already beaten Big 12 champ Kansas, Top 5-ranked Memphis and Florida out of conference.  These are two very good teams playing in the nation&#8217;s toughest conference.  Again, are they Duke and Kentucky from 1992?  Not quite.  But they can match up with just about anyone in college basketball this season.  Historic?  That&#8217;s where this game has an advantage over most others.  Only a 1981 game between Cincinnati and Bradley went longer (7 overtimes), but the final score in that game was just 75-73 because that was before the shot clock.  Two games in the 1950s also went to 6 overtimes.  This game is more impressive than any of these because of the shot clock.  That entire 7 OT game totaled 148 points.  Syracuse and UCONN scored a combined 102 points in overtime alone (and 244 total).  The shot clock changes everything.  Before the shot clock, teams could rest on offense, milking the clock.  Now, teams must continue moving, getting just 35 seconds per possession.  This 6 OT game was significantly harder on the players than any previous college basketball game ever played.  The Numbers  Record for points scored in OT: 56 (Syracuse) Record for total points scored in OT: 102 Minutes played by Johnny Flynn: 67 of a possible 70 Total FGs made-attempted: 82-209 Total FTs made-attempted: 64-93 Players who fould out: 8 (four for each team)  Drama  This game had it all.  UCONN never lead by more than 4 points in regulation.  Syracuse lead by 7 points with 4 minutes left, but UCONN came back to tie it with 4 seconds left.  Syracuse then hit what appeared to be an amazing buzzer-beating 3 point shot, but after a long review, the refs waved it off.  In the first OT, UCONN lead by as many as four but Syracuse tied it on a dunk at the end.  In the 2nd OT, UCONN never lead by more than 2 and just missed a half court shot at the buzzer.  In the 3rd OT, lead by 6 with must 2 minutes remaining, but Syracuse hit a three pointer with 10 seconds left to tie it up.  In the 4th OT, UCONN again never lead by more than 2 points.  In the 5th OT, UCONN lead by three, but Syracuse again tied it.  In the 6th and final OT, Syracuse took the lead on a three pointer on the opening possession.  It was their first lead since regulation.  They had played 25 minutes of OT basketball without leading once.  But after that three, they never looked back, winning by 10 points.  Final Thoughts  Is it greatest game ever played?  Probably not.  The closer you are to the game, the more likely you are to overstate it&#8217;s importance.  I doubt this game is remembered 15 years from now like the Duke-Kentucky game of 1992.  In fact, I&#8217;d site two other games involving Syracuse in the last 20 years that are more memorable to me.  First, the 1996 game against Georgia in the NCAA tournament that included a buzzer-beater at the end of regulation to tie it and a John Wallace 3-pointer at the end of OT to win it.  And second, the 2003 Finals when Carmelo Anthony lead my Orange to a title over Kansas.  It was a great, great game.  One I will never forget and one that will stand in the record books for a long time.  But it&#8217;s not the greatest game ever.             </p>
<p><b>Tink, F%$#! </b><br /> It&#8217;s the first lesson I taught my wife when she joined me for a round on the frolf course.  She&#8217;d never seen disc golf before so I figured I&#8217;d start easy.  **TINK**  &#8220;F%$#!!!&#8221;  It&#8217;s the sound of a disc hitting the basket, but not staying in, and the subsequent reaction of the player.  It only took about 5 minutes before we heard it happen the first time to a player in a group behind us.  It&#8217;s been more than a year since I&#8217;ve been on the disc golf course, and it felt good to be back! The course in E-Vegas is amazing.  All 18 holes have nice concrete tee pads and pictures of the hole at each tee.  In fact, a number of the longer holes have alternate tee pads for women, amateurs and G-Rob.   There&#8217;s a lot to like about the set-up of the course, too.   There are mandatory openings through which you must throw the discs.  There are lots of places where a bad throw could land you out of bounds or in the water.  And the holes offer lots of opportunities for a variety of shots.  It&#8217;s a longer course than Timmons Park back in Greenville, but it also doesn&#8217;t have as many Death Star trench-like shots either.  On this day, I managed just one birdie (despite what the course suggests, regular frolfers consider all holes to be a Par 3).  But I was happy with how I threw considering it had been so long since I was on a course.  And I can&#8217;t wait to get back out and do it again!  Plus, this gives the guys from G-Vegas just one more reason to visit.  1) Free place to stay.  2) Casino boat with poker room.  3) Disc golf course.  4) And for Bad Blood&#8230; some adult establishments.               </p>
