Jamie Gold

One can love or hate him, but for a magical week in Las Vegas Jamie Gold was the best poker players in the world, and secured a record prize money of $ 12 million. His conduct during of the 2006 WSOP Main Events is still hotly debated. Whether one considers that he was a friend too often one of his hole cards has shown that he or his opponents told exactly what he just keeps on hand. Moreover that although $ 12 million he has won, it is still unclear how much of the money he actually has kept since he and a former friend in a dispute was involved after he allegedly gold 50% of its profits had promised. Despite these criticisms has gold is still in many of the big tournaments and cash games look, and that is always positive and good humored. As the saga of Jamie Gold continues stands in the stars, but as far as he has done is just as interesting as any other poker players.

'check the poker news at www.nobluff.net for big oline events'

Each poker player has his own history when it comes to how he came into the game is. Some players began late in the poker games while others were already playing cards before they could run. Gold, as Jamie Usher was born but later the surname of his father, stepmother adopted after his parents separated had definite match in the second category. When Jamie Gold, 25 August 1969 in Kansas City, Missouri on the world came, he was by his poker-playing mother and his grandfather, the Gin Rummy champion was welcomed. Jamie enjoyed the game as a child, although he made it more fun to read and poker to learn than it really to play. Sometime poker then moved more and more into the background while he was working his second big dream to fulfill a Hollywood agent to be.

When most kids were still busy driving to learn, gold started at the age of 16 years, an internship at the J. Michael Bloom & Associates talent agency. After his bachelor at the University of New York at Albany had managed to continue, he studied at the University of California in Los Angeles at closer to Hollywood to be tuned. There, he won his degree in media law.

With just 21 years, he became the youngest agents ever in the Harter Manning Woo Talent Agency has worked. He was the agent for some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including Lucy Liu us James Gandolfini. In 2005, gold started its cooperation with one of the most famous faces in poker, Johnny Chan. During this collaboration with Chan began to gold again for the poker games to be interested. Because the two so well understood Chan gave gold a few lessons in poker, as we now know, their effect would not have missed.

Gold began at the Bicycle Casino to play. "The Bike" is one of the best places around the poker games to learn, because it is here only as swarms pros. This seemed the amateur gold but not to worry, and it was not long until his first successes was. In April 2005 he won $ 200 buy-in event and took a prize money of $ 54,225 to take home. During the next year won gold yet another $ 45,000 in 7 different tournaments. Gold seemed at its peak right time to have reached shortly before his first WSOP event began, the 2006 Main Event.

Jamie Gold WSOP To say that gold at the Main Event long front players is an understatement. Although a total of 8,773 participants were, it was the name of Jamie Gold almost throughout the course of the tournament leading the leaderboard. On Day 4 gold had already twice as many chips as his closest pursuer, and at the final table, he was a machine in just seven of his eight rivals transported from the table. When it left the heads-up between him and Paul Wasicka came, the bracelet was profitable almost a must, since gold with a 12:1 Chiplead was in the lead. After a flop of Q 8 ♣ ♥ ♥ 5 went gold with Q-9 all-in and Wasicka called with 10-10. Jamie Gold won the hand and the tournament, but the joy was only short-lived.

Before gold ever come to his money, was his account frozen by a judge as an acquaintance of gold claimed gold owe him half the money. According to Crispin Leyser gold he had half of its profits promised Leyser because it had some Hollywood stars to talk about than Bodog players in the WSOP to play with. Gold flatly denied such an agreement, but a stored message in Leyser's mobile phone showed the accusation. Finally, both agreed out how much gold, but profit from his competence had is unknown.

Since his incredible success has a lot of gold still played, but little gained. His greatest success since the 2006 MainConcept event was the 35te place at the 2007 WSOP Main Event, where he won $ 54,000. It was gold in almost every poker TV show to see, such as "Poker After Dark" and "High Stakes Poker." When the show High Stakes Poker ran it in him anything but good, and he was one or the other time 'gefelted'. For many, this is the proof that Jamie Gold's victory at the 2006 WSOP Main Event mainly thanks to his happiness is. Fortunately or not, it is the dream of every poker player.

Study on the effect of limiting deposit at bwin

Over two years, the "Koordinierunszentrum for clinical studies at the University of Leipzig, the Department for Drug Prevention at the University of Cambridge and the Harvard Medical School, the betting and gaming behaviour of 48,114 users bwin analysed. The surprising results were now in "Harm Reduction Journal.

The "Harm Reduction Journal" is an open platform, the scientific studies, reviews of scientific articles or comments from research results. The focus is always on drug abuse and addiction in its various forms. This is but less physical and psychological effects . The aim is to use this open a lively exchange platform to create the new knowledge for the public health care creates. The research and its results are not profit, the scientists are as neutral bodies in the scientific sense, to understand.

This notice should also be given to researchers at the long-term study of the betting and game behavior of 48,114 users bwin crucial. No financial influence, the analysis of the data provided from 2005 to 2007 was collected, will suffer. If you look at the results, then the emphasis on this information understandable, because these are surprisingly failed.

The starting point of the research was the search for effective means to play and prevent Wettsucht. This has bwin the possibility of a limitation. User account when they had the opportunity to limit their operations. The game was then behaviour of players who exceeded their account deposits and those that did not compare, and the game behavior before and after exceeding the limit.

The Wettverhalten of exactly 48114 users who are between 1 February and February 28, 2005 had registered and those who before 28 February 2007 money on their bwin account had been two years.

In detail, the study on betting and gambling on the Internet, because it is a very young medium. Precise studies on the participation of Internet betting and gambling, there are few according to this report. However, two empirical surveys, in the U.S. have been carried out. These are the numbers of users from 0.3% to 4%. Another study has 1294 Internet users in Ontario, Canada asked them have 5.3% in the last 12 months or played online bet. Participation in online betting or games is lower than expected - other forms, such as casinos or lottery games and recorded higher sales increase. Nevertheless, there is a growing market whose curve relatively steep rise. For this reason, said long-term study of the "Koordinierunszentrums for clinical trials," the Department of Drug Prevention at the University of Cambridge and the Harvard Medical School launched and form an important part of addiction research, because the knowledge of actual addiction for Internet users is to date. Speculation about possible risks in relation to Internet gambling would have an obvious lack of reliability, as well as the apparent inability of the access control for minors, or suchtgefährdete people.

The report also speaks of targeted opportunities in Internet protection mechanisms to implement such as Software tools to record the behavior and assign. A Web-based technology could set time limits, a limit on credit cards could also be helpful, such as the possibility itself to set limits or entirely from access to a provider ruled out.
With this basic information collected via the Internet betting and gambling, the researchers, in cooperation with bwin be made surveys and actual results to be achieved. This has bwin a deposit limit for a certain period in his system implemented. Will the user more than possible, and in this period, to his account projects will be rejected by a notification. € 1000, - are each 24 hours or € 5000, - within 30 days bwin is the limit. The deposit can only exceed the limits set when the ratio of profit compared to the deposit account disproportionately high or exceptionally high income users can. But the limits set by bwin by the user can be reduced.

Only 160 users, which is 0.3%, (5 women and 155 men with an average age of 30.8 years), according to the study exceeded at least once in their set limit. This also had a higher frequency than any other game users. The behavior, compared before and after the overrun, shows that the game and Wettverhalten after the overrun has had a somewhat negative.

Generally, those who exceed their limits, which are taking a higher limit. Surprisingly, has deepened in the study showed that the total user but seen relatively successful, the percentage of losses is lower than for those who are less risk. Although of course, some rather modest gains balance. Deposit limits seem the size of large losses or even bankruptcy can be avoided, according to the summary of the study.

Unfortunately, the report noted that the limit of bwin working around easily because the next player without limitation only a mouse click away. Therefore, a general guideline for betting and gambling providers on the Internet, as a compulsory licensing or integration of software-control programs.
