A Staggering Figure
Gambling at the land and online casinos can be really lucrative for skilled
poker gamblers – and that fact is only more so in recent years. As the internet
poker gambling industry matures the pots and prize pools are becoming
increasingly large. It’s really quite staggering how large the prizes have now
become for a game of poker. The online casinos and internet poker sites have
begun to boast that jackpots top the multi-million mark. That figure though just
keeps climbing higher and now it looks as though a poker marathon could net
players as many as seven figures in the final table prize pool – now that is a
truly huge figure!
Interestingly enough, although the US government put the ban in place as a way
to prevent and stop widespread online casino and poker gambling, that very ban
itself is partly contributing to the increase in poker prize pools according to
some analysts. Basically, the theory is that with less sites and opportunities
to gamble online, some of the top poker professionals are looking to put up some
hefty cash when they do participate in the land and internet casino poker
sessions.
Huge news in the online casino poker gambling industry is the announcement from
Tom Dwan that he is willing to take in on anyone in the poker gambling industry
and that he will even put up more cash than his opponent. The latest enticing
(and quite scary) deal up for grabs is a deal that an opponent will face Dwan in
50,000 hands of poker and if the opponent is ahead by even one dollar at the end
of those hands, they will walk away with and instant $1.5 million. Interestingly
enough though, Dwan is proving a formidable opponent and there have yet to be
any takers. |
