- Tuesday, 27 Dec 2005
What is the most anticipated sporting event in 2006? The Super Bowl? - No. The NBA Finals? - No. The World Series? - No. For people residing anywhere but North America, the most anticipated sporting event of 2006 is FIFA World Cup 2006 final. Other than the Olympic Games, the World Cup finals is an opportunity for nations to go head-to-head on the soccer field. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world (other the US of course). Capitalizing on soccer’s popularity one online gambling site called the Purple Lounge is now offering four lucky online casino players the chance to win VIP tickets for the popular sporting event.
The VIP ticket includes air-fare and a free entry to the final game which is scheduled to take place on July 9th in Berlin, Germany. Poker is the quintessential international gambling game, with people from all over the world competing at online casinos everyday. Fittingly, the online gambling site has chosen this particular event to extenuate the worldwide appeal of the gambling game. In order to determine the four lucky online casinos players who will receive a VIP ticket, the online gambling site is holding a poker tournament that kicks off on January 1st 2006.
Spokesperson for the online gambling site had this to say: “Poker and football are two of the world's most popular games, each producing their own celebrities, and generating fabulous wealth for those players who are truly talented. The allure of each therefore holds great attraction to its players, with titans of football such as Michael Owen being keen online casinos poker players, while poker players themselves show great enthusiasm for the other beautiful game”. | |
