Worst Bet Ever: Here's an example of self-control at the online poker tables if ever we heard one. In December 2005, one Carl Valentine accepted what on the surface appeared to be a modest enough challenge presented by his multi-millionaire friend. The challenge was that by April 18, 2006, he, Valentine, would send 2 million unique visitors to a website they perversely named savemyfinger.com. If successful, Valentine will qualify for a $1 million heads-up online poker tournament against said millionaire. If Valentine wins the tournament, he gets a million slaps. If he loses, he loses nothing. But if Valentino fails to generate 2 million unique hits on his website, he will still face his childhood friend in a heads-up online poker match, but this time he will be playing for his right index finger. If he wins, he gets to keep all his digits. If he loses, it's gone with his finger - and Valentine competes for the title of World's Dumbest Amputee. Online poker site Poker Heaven has reportedly agreed to host the ridiculous match (regardless of stakes). And the Baby’s Name is Chip: They met at an online poker table. The game was Omaha, stakes $30, place - Party Poker. He suffered a bad rhythm and got into an argument with another player using the Chat function. She defended him. From there, they became friends—literally: using the Buddy List feature, Jackie Johnson and Gary have since begun a passionate long-distance love affair that culminated in Jackie leaving Las Vegas and heading to New York to move in with Gary. They are now harnessed. The first known wedding of a couple who met while playing online poker will take place in March 2006. Before the ceremony, friends and family of the bride and groom will participate in an online poker tournament. The theme of the wedding will be poker (and more specifically online poker) with a poker themed wedding cake and flowers. The newlyweds will then enjoy their honeymoon on the Party Poker Million V Cruise to the Caribbean. "But what will I win?": You can sell anything on eBay these days. The online poker enthusiast and (perhaps most surprising) eBay Power Seller, who goes by the moniker and boasts a 99.97% positive rating (out of 1,533 transactions), posted what could be considered the craziest auction bid eBay has ever seen (although there is undoubtedly many candidates for this title). Connor Gleason (as he is known to his family and friends) lost about $5,000 playing Blackjack at Party Poker online poker room and casino. Now he's asking eBay bidders to help him out of the hole he's dug himself into. Its starting bid was $999.99. When the bidding period ended, it was closed with no bidders. (Shame!) But there is more to this story and this auction than meets the eye. In a sneaky pun, Gleason is careful not to name the online poker room where he lost his bankroll — only "it's no party" (which we hope we correctly deduce is Party Poker). For the same reason, it offers its auction as a "Golden advertising opportunity for a quality online casino". For anyone who knows about Golden Palace Online Casino's reputation for outrageous and expensive advertising stunts, including spending thousands of dollars in eBay auction winnings on outlandish items, this plea for help in return for nothing more than... what - a warm feeling inside ? – seems to be a clear and obvious message to the Golden Palace and the Golden Palace itself. At least they will know how to get some pressure out of their "investment".
