I just absolutely love that program about 7ish each Sat (i always miss it as I am out and about but can check it out later on my shiny new I player as Graham Norton says).  Samantha is the firm favourite with the online bookies to win,  personally I thought that nieve was gorgeous and a great singer.  I also think that jodie is a good bet too (at 4/1 with Skybet) but some people are saying she is too old .. hardly at 28 or what ever I’d say still a spring chicken.  It looks like Samanthat can do no wrong and her rendition from Wicked last week was just Wicked!  Anyway else going to put a bet on? or is it a done deal already to SAmantha?

PS Talking of reality TV shows anyone see the Apprentice  - just love Raef, so shouldn’t have gone.

Having now played at Game Village I can well and truely say I’ve been sucked in!  After reading this Game Village review and finding out that I could claim £20 free without having to deposit I had to try it out!  This promotion applies to all new members, and after you’ve played with the free cash, you can (if you need to!) top up your account with the 200% cash match bonus! 

Game Village is different to most online bingo and gaming sites in that it is very much a social network, or social gaming network as they call it.  You really do feel part of the community, and I made a few good friends after just a couple of days playing there!  I guess it really helps that the large number and wide variety of games are so much fun, I just found it hard to leave.

There are far too many games, promotions and prizes etc that there is no point me even starting to go into them!  I recommend you read this Game Village, take the £20 free and try it for yourself! 

There really is nothing to lose!

Gala Bingo is going to pull out of the National Bingo Game from August this year, as reported from the statement given by the biggest UK bingo operator last night.

The company decided that sits time to concentrate on their own jackpot game. This hasn’t been on their list before as the law was different. The recent amendment to the law now allows the rollover prizes, which is why the operator grabbed the opportunity and jumped out of the common piggy bank.

The fact that Gala is going to pull out of the game, is most likely going to cause the National Bingo Game to suffer serious consequences. Gala has one third of the total 500 clubs involved in the game. When it leaves there will be just around 330-340 left to get the big jackpot going.

This is why the jackpot is most likely to become smaller. The average weekly National Bingo Jackpot has been £1 million, with a total of amazing £1 billion being paid out to winners since the game was launched in 1986.

This is most likely going to change now that Gala is out.

What do you think abut that? Is Gala doing the right thing pulling out of such National establishment or is it selfish and Gala is wrong to do so?

Charles Wade Barkley, 45, is a retired American basketball player, who has become a fan of Las Vegas casino gambling. He has not stated that he is going to stop gambling altogether for at least a year or two.

He is already $400,000 in dept to the Vegas Casino and has received a civil complaint from the Wynn Las Vegas Casino.

Before the Spurs-Hornets Game 7 of their Western Conference semifinal series, the basketballer had an interview on the pregame show on Turner Network Television, where he has made this statement: “I gamble probably once every two or three weeks to a month. It’s not like I’m going every day. It’s not like I get up and look at the line in sporting events. I like to go to Vegas. It’s a fun place, but you know what, I’ve got to stop gambling.”

Barkley did not say he has a gambling problem or any money issues. He did not say he is going to stop gambling for good, but gave himself a year or two to live gamble-free life.

“I am not going to gamble anymore,” he said. “For right now, the next year or two, I’m not going to gamble.”

“It was my fault.To me it’s over with. This will never happen, but the bottom line is I’m just never going to gamble again,” Barkley added.

Any comments?

Check out these awesome poker chip USB sticks:

You can get 1GB and 2GB versions, surely a must for any poker player that takes himself seriously!  I’m just looking into getting one from here.

The 2GB one is about £15 well worth it for how cool I’m going to look!

A player over at Foxy Bingo managed to get their hands on £50,000 after a simple technical error!  A player that should have won £500 was told that he had won 100x the original prize by the software, and Foxy bingo have since decided that they will honour the glitch!

Maybe if I keep playing it will happen to me sooner or later…. £50,000 yes please.
