Beginner's Luck Turns Suicidal

Portrait of Hayley Ringrose

Hayley Ringrose' story had enable me to pinpoint gambling pitfalls such as

That is 4 out of 6 pitfalls mention on Lethal Habits. I think the other two would be applicable too from her mention of being out of control.

I believe Ringrose was honest with her confession because she wanted to help others who are going through the same thing by telling her story. Now she is lobbying to tighten rules for online gambling.

The Rotten Gamblers

The term "landu" was instantly appealing and memorable to me ever since +guerrilla gamblers introduced it on his blog. I often had the inclination to use it and finally decided to list it out as "rotten gambler" in my terminologies page.

It will be used to describe a person who is preoccupied with gambling but not necessary classified as a gambling addict or a pathologically disordered gambler under the American Psychiatric Association's guidelines. Gamblers who are rotten to the core will think about nothing but gambling.

Redirected Sites

Since my presence on the internet had exceed a year, I decided to update my sitemap and resubmit to google. I went to the sitemap maker recommended by google to get a copy of my sitemap. I was shock to find that I had a broken link. I went through all the links one by one and found that a link was taken off. This was very scary because the source I used as a reference was gone. Fortunately I managed to google up an alternate.

This still did not solve my broken link problem because the site was redirected to the home page. Redirected site are not considered broken links. Anyway, I eventually found my broken link and rectify the situation but that was not the point. The idea was sites could be removed by the webmaster and you would be left hanging without a source. News especially will run out of space and had a high tendency to remove some old pages.

It then occurred to me that other sites may also be taken down after some time. After some thought I came up with a solution. I decided to do a screen capture of the source. The do a cut and pate of the entire page. If I get disappearing site in future I would just refer it back to my own site showing the screen capture and the cut and paste text.

+xingcai you may want to take note of this since you are commenting on news.

Borgata Sues Phil Ivey $9.8 million

Borgata versus Phil Ivey

I noted previously that the media had started to twist Ivey's words. Soon they will begin to assassinate his character. Ivey is such a generous person who would spend money he earned on charity drives, just need to start playing hard ball with those that tried to push him around.

In my research on Ivey, I discovered that he had a net win of £9 million from baccarat alone. The other casinos with a share of contributing to the winning will soon join Borgata to sue Ivey for "fraudulent winnings".

As this issue gets to the legal arena, interpretation of the law and mutating of words will be the name of the game. I tried to look at keys that would affect this case.
