Gambling911.com Online Gambling Top 5 Most Wanted – May 11, 2009
Jenny Woo here with a new feature we'll be offering up on Gambling911.com. It's the Top 5 Most Wanted in the world of online gambling.
As we learned from Joan Rivers on Celebrity Apprentice, poker players are all white trash and tied in with the Mafia so there is plenty of competition for the Top 5 Most Wanted each week.
Just kidding folks!
Actually, the Top 5 Most Wanted takes a look back at the previous week's stars in the world of online gambling. Who has made the biggest impact? Who was most buzz worthy?
The Top 5 Most Wanted includes operators as well as individuals and incorporates real time stats into the equation (a la most read stories on the site).
5. Joe Brennan, Jr (www.imega.org) - Try setting yourself on fire at a Barney Frank press conference. Oh wait, on second thought, reporters might think it's a marshmallow roast.
Brennan, Jr. made news and received enough reads to land him in the number 5 spot for his efforts to fight the state of Minnesota and their attempts to block citizens from accessing over 1000 online gambling sites, even those that have never entered the U.S. market.
Still, this issue hasn't received the type of attention it rightfully deserves.
4. Sportsinteraction.com - Churchill Downs odds on Kentucky Derby long shot winner Mine That Bird were 50/1. At one point, Sports Interaction had him at 100/1 odds and come to find out they had over 200 bets on the 2009 Kentucky Derby winner. Who the hell needs to go to England to sip those silly British mint juleps and wear those dumb Derby hats while your ass gets soar sitting on those 100 plus your old rafters when you can bet online from the comfort of your own home and win double the amount of money?
3. Doyle Brunson - The feisty old poker icon has been blasting Joan Rivers all week long for insulting poker players and making a few good Joan Rivers jokes along the way. He points out that the two of them are the same age. Most of Doyle's body parts are real though and his teeth are already fossils. So are Joan Rivers original cheek bones for that matter.
2. Barney Frank - We love Barney but the way these online gambling industry folks fawn over him you'd think he was the Roman emperor Sophocles. Is this Bill Number 5 he's on to overturn the online gambling ban? Sorry, I lost count. This reminds me of a story.
One winter year, these two little fleas headed for the warm sunny beaches of California to escape the cold of Washington, D.C.. The first flea got there and started rubbing suntan lotion on his little flea arms and his little flee legs. Just then, the second flea arrived just a shiverin' and a shakin'. The first flea asked, "What the hell happened to you?"
To which the second flea replied "I just rode out here on a bikers mustache and I'm so very coldddd!"
The first flea said, "Don't you know the special trick to gettin here, first you go to the Washington National Airport, go straight to the mens cammode, wait for a politician to come along flying out for their two month winter break, and when he sits down you climb right up between his butt cheeks where its nice and warm".
The second flea agreed that this was a grand idea. The next winter comes along and it was time for the fleas to head for the sunny beaches again. The first flea arrived and began putting suntan lotion on his little flea arms and his little flea legs. About that time, the second flea arrived again just a shiverin', shakin', and mumbling about how cold he was.
The first flea exclaimed "Didn't you learn anything that I taught you about getting here nice and warm?"
To which the second flea replied, "I did just as you said; I went to the mens cammode and lo and behold, Congressman Barney Frank came in and sat down, I climbed right up between his butt cheeks and it was so very warm. Next thing I know we stop at a bar and I fell asleep. All of a sudden I woke and there I was, right back on that bikers mustache!
1. Annie Duke - The winner by a mile. Her appearance on Celebrity Apprentice 2 where she and arch rival Joan Rivers made it to the final has helped to breathe new life into the show. The war of words between these two women was some of the best television we've seen since Seinfeld. And Gambling911.com traffic: Through the roof!
