- Tuesday, 14 Mar 2006
Have you ever been to a land-based casino and see some really weird crazy gambling fan trying to score a few more bucks for another hand of blackjack? How about those people who are just so drunk that they don't even understand what they are gambling on? The beauty of the online gambling world is that you don't have to physically see these people at your favorite poker room. However, you do have to read about gambling fanatics who are making gambling headlines on the internet and across the globe. The WSOP Main Event had some 6500 entries last year. Some qualified by satellites that were held online and at brick and mortar casinos; others just went ahead and handed over the 10 grand.
Apparently there is a gambling affiliate who as he freely admits, and most will probably agree, is "not the brightest banana in the bunch". This guy takes a challenge by a marketing manager buddy of his to send two thousand players to an online poker room before he takes off the cuffs. If and when it's accomplished, he not only gets released, but his buddy pays the entry into the number one poker event in the world, WSOP. If you have ever had the unfortunate set of circumstances to have worn a pair of handcuffs for even an hour, you know how uncomfortable it can be.
To have to wear those 24 hours a day would be more than the normal person could take. But then again, anybody that would agree to something like this can't be to close to normal anyways. Imagine if you will, having your hands close together and trying to do everyday tasks. You know the simple stuff like playing at online gambling istes we do without even thinking about. Eating, drinking, sleeping all seems pretty easy, though sleeping may be a bit on the weird side. When you start to think about driving a car, dressing yourself, going to the restroom, that's when you start to realize just how crazy this stunt is.
