			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let’s say you were a Bell technician who also happened to love gambling. Would you be able to claim your losses at the casino as a business expense? Well, no. Obviously. But try telling that to the Canadian Guiseppe Tarascio who loves playing the horses, casinos and lotteries. He describes gambling as his “calling” and his “business”. Except that’s just the point. It’s not his business. In 1999, Tarascio lost $56K in gambling, in 2000 he lost $70K and in 2001, he lost $63,800. When he tried to file his tax return declaring his losses as ‘business expenses’ in 2002 and 2003, he was turned down, and he decided to take the case to court. Surprise surprise – the judge requested his appeal and even ordered him to pay $1,000 in court fees. Now, perhaps someone should tell Mr. Tarascio that after so many losses, year after year, maybe he should try investing in another type of “business.”</p>
<p><em>A man about to have a heart transplant was offered the choice of either a 26 year-old marathon runner’s heart or the heart of a 62 year-old IRS agent. He picked the agent’s heart because he said it had never been used.</em></p>
<p><em>And:</em></p>
<p><em>Called in for an audit, Mr. Briggs was confronted by a surly IRS agent. &#8220;It says here, Mr. Briggs, that you are a bachelor; yet you claim a dependent son. Surely this must be a mistake.&#8221; Looking him straight in the eye, Mr. Briggs replied, &#8220;Yup, it surely was.&#8221;</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’m not into all that New Age mumbo jumbo but I may start changing my mind after reading about a couple from the UK who won the £2.1 million National Lottery because of the power of positive thinking. The couple said that they had been channeling all their positive thinking into their lottery purchases that week after experiencing what they said were a “rotten” 12 months. Among the horrible things that happened to them included losing a close family member and the husband cracking his skull after falling 15 ft from a ladder, leaving him deaf in one ear. But now that their luck has changed, the couple will splurge on a new house, a pair of Mercedes and a cruise, before retiring from their jobs. Good on them! Now excuse me while I go and meditate…</p>
<p><em>New Age Joke #1:</em></p>
<p><em>A young woman who was worried about her habit of biting her fingernails down to the quick was advised by a friend to take up yoga. She did, and soon her fingernails were growing normally. Her friend asked her if yoga had totally cured her nervousness. &#8220;No,&#8221; she replied, &#8220;but now I can reach my toe-nails so I bite them instead.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>New Age Joke #2:</em></p>
<p><em>Three Yogis are doing meditative in a remote cave. One day a sound is heard from outside the cave. After about six months, one of the yogis says, &#8220;Did you hear that goat?&#8221; Once again, there was silence. About a year later, one of the other Yogis says, &#8220;That wasn&#8217;t a goat; it was a mule.&#8221; Again, there was silence. About two years later the third yogi says, &#8220;If you two don&#8217;t stop arguing, I&#8217;m leaving.&#8221;</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I can’t really blame two jurors who were part of a panel to acquit all the defendants in a controversial gambling corruption trial in Alabama. The pair slammed prosecutors who have decided to retry the case because, in their opinion, key witnesses lacked credibility and presented weak evidence. The jurors had no problem speaking out against the decision, saying: “I cannot believe the government is going to retry these people because, for one, they do not have evidence of wrongdoing.” In the meantime, one of the defendants, Joseph “Ray” Crosby was found dead over the weekend, which may affect the rest of the trial.</p>
<p><em>And speaking about juries:</em></p>
<p><em>“A man was chosen for jury duty who really wanted to be dismissed from serving. He tried every excuse he could think of but none of them worked. On the day of the trial, he decided to give it one more shot. As the trial was about to begin, he asked if he could approach the bench.</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Your Honor&#8221;, he said, &#8220;I must be excused from this trial because I am prejudiced against the defendant. I took one look at the man in the blue suit with those beady eyes and that dishonest face and I thought, &#8216;He&#8217;s a crook! He&#8217;s guilty!&#8217; So, your Honor, I cannot possibly stay on this jury!&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>The tired and annoyed judge replied, &#8220;Get back in the jury box, you fool.</em><br />
<em> That man is the lawyer.”</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The New Zealand Department of Internal Affairs has released new statistics showing that there was a 10% increase in the amount spent on ‘pokie’ machines in Christchurch compared to last year. And the reason? According to the department, the need for the locals to escape from the stresses of constant earthquakes in the area has led to an increase in the number of gamblers turning to these gaming machines. A spokesman for the Problem Gambling Foundation said that people were using pokies as escapism. “Wine, chocolate, coffee, pokies – people in Christchurch are self-medicating,” he said. Will they now do research to see whether more New Zealanders are eating chocolate since the last earthquake to hit the area? I wonder.<br />
<em>And on the subject of chocolate:</em></p>
<p><em></em><em>If you&#8217;ve got melted chocolate all over your hands, you&#8217;re eating it too slowly.</em></p>
<p><em>Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.</em></p>
<p><em>How do you get 2 pounds of chocolate home in a hot car &#8211; eat it in the car park.</em></p>
<p><em>If I eat equal amounts of dark chocolate and white chocolate, is that a balanced diet?</em></p>
<p><em>Money talks. Chocolate sings.</em></p>
<p><em>Why is there no such organization such as Chocoholics Anonymous? Because no one wants to quit.</em></p>
<p><em>A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories in one go. Isn&#8217;t that handy?</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When Independent Australian MP, Andrew Wilkie promised to support the Gillard minority government in return for significant gambling reforms, he said that if she ever backed down from her promise, he would drop his support. Up until the last minute, it seemed that Ms. Gillard would go ahead with the reforms which created a huge wave of opposition. So when the PM announced a watered-down reform place this weekend, you can’t really blame the opposition leader for calling her “the great deceiver” and becoming Prime Minister under false pretences. Tony Abbott went even further by saying that “nothing this prime minister says can be taken seriously ever again.” Wilkie, meanwhile, has said that he will “end his current relationship with her government.” When they say gambling is a controversial topic, they got that one right!</p>
<p><em>And on the subject of trust:</em></p>
<p><em>In days of old, when knights were bold, this particular knight was leaving for a crusade and called one of his squires: &#8220;I&#8217;m leaving for the crusade.</em><br />
<em> Here is the key to my wife&#8217;s chastity belt. If, in 10 years, I haven&#8217;t returned, you may use the key as I&#8217;m sure she will have needs.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>The knight sets out on the dusty road, armored from head to toe. He takes one last look at his castle and sees the squire rushing across the drawbridge, yelling, &#8220;Stop! Stop! Thank goodness I was able to catch you. This is the wrong key!”</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ah – I love lottery stories with happy endings (even if they do turn me green with envy). So this 29 year old guy bought a lottery ticket and left it in the glove box of his battered old Audi. Two weeks later, his granddad told him that the UK Lottery operators were calling on people to check their tickets because a £1 million prize was still unclaimed. Gavin Davies decided to listen to his elders and checked the ticket – only to find that he was indeed the lucky winner. And what did this young cage-fighter spend one fifth of his winnings on? The car of his dreams – a brand new Lamborghini Spyder L560-4. Lucky bugger.</p>
<p><em> A GT6 pulled alongside a Lamborghini at a traffic light.</em><br />
<em> “Do you have a car phone?” its driver asked the man in the Lamborghini</em><br />
<em> “Of course I do,” was the haughty reply.</em><br />
<em> “Do you have a fax machine?”</em><br />
<em> The Lamborghini driver sighed. “I have that too.”</em><br />
<em> “Do you have a double bed in the back?” the GT6 driver wanted to know. Ashen-faced, the Lamborghini driver sped off.</em><br />
<em> That afternoon, he had a mechanic install a double bed in his car.</em><br />
<em> A week later, the Lamborghini driver passed the same GT6, parked on the side of the road with its back windows fogged up and steam pouring out. The arrogant driver pulled over, got out of the Lamborghini and banged on the GT6′s rear window. “I want you to know that I’ve had a double bed installed,” bragged the Lamborghini driver.</em><br />
<em> The GT6 driver rolled his window down and frowned at the Lamborghini driver. “You got me out of the shower to tell me that?”</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Roman Catholic clergyman who pilfered funds from his parish’s prayer and gift shop coffers to feed his gambling addiction was sentenced to spend three years in prison and pay back nearly $650,000 to his community. Monsignor Kevin McAuliffe was told by the sentencing judge that he had betrayed people who had depended on him and his request for probation so that he could get counseling and help others with gambling problems was turned down. The judge’s hard line was based on the fact that the good father didn’t exhaust his own savings on his gambling habits, and opted to spend church funds instead. I see the judge’s point but IMHO the ruling was a bit on the harsh side…</p>
<p><em>A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak. After mass, he asked the monsignor how he had done. The monsignor replied,</em><br />
<em> &#8220;When I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. If I start to get nervous, I take a sip.&#8221;</em><br />
<em> So the next Sunday, he took the monsignor&#8217;s advice. At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink. He proceeded to talk up a storm.</em><br />
<em> Upon returning to his office, he found the following note on his door.</em><br />
<em> 1. Sip the vodka, don&#8217;t gulp.</em><br />
<em> 2. Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.</em><br />
<em> 3. Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass.</em><br />
<em> 4. We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J. C.</em><br />
<em> 5. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, Junior, and Spook.</em><br />
<em> 6. David slew Goliath, he did not kick the shit out him.</em><br />
<em> 7. We do not refer to the cross as the &#8216;Big T&#8217;.</em><br />
<em> 8. Recommended grace before a meal is not &#8216;Rub-so A-Dub-Dub, thanks for the grub, yeah God&#8217;.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If I won the lottery, I’d be shouting it from the rooftops, spoiling friends and family members, and having a great time in life. But a teenage lottery winner from the UK, 19 year old Eloise Hutchinson, has downplayed her £1.3 million win to such a degree that I find it on the brink of false humbleness. In one interview, we learned that Hutchinson will be ‘pampering’ her sister with her old clapped out Ford Fiesta worth £700 (“I might as well give it to her for a first car. I’m not going to miss it.”), that her boyfriend of 8 months had to pay the bill for their celebratory dinner after hearing the good news, and that she’ll continue working at two jobs. I’m all for keeping my feet on the ground, but nobody said dig a fat hole and bury them deep….</p>
<p><em>And speaking about humility…</em></p>
<p><em>A Rabbi, a Hindu, and a lawyer are in a car. They run out of gas and are forced to stop at a farmer&#8217;s house. The farmer says that there are only two extra beds, so one person will have to sleep in the barn.The Hindu says,&#8217; I&#8217;m humble, I will sleep in the barn.&#8217; So, he goes out to the barn. In a few minutes, the farmer hears a knock on the door. It&#8217;s the Hindu and he says,&#8217; There is a cow in the barn. It&#8217;s against my beliefs to sleep with a cow.&#8217; So, the Rabbi says,&#8217; I&#8217;m humble, I&#8217;ll sleep in the barn.&#8217; A few minutes later, the farmer hears another knock on the door and it&#8217;s the Rabbi. He says that it is against his beliefs to sleep where there is a pig and there is a pig in the barn. So, the lawyer is forced to sleep in the barn. A few minutes later, there is a knock on the door. The farmer opens to see the pig and the cow&#8230;</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are online poker players going on a witch hunt against a virtual enemy or are their complaints justified? A mysterious new online player has appeared at PokerStars using the name RaiseOnce and many are convinced that he’s the one and only Phil Ivey due to their similar playing styles. However, beyond the question of who this anonymous player is, many are criticizing Ivey (if it is him, of course) of switching from Full Tilt to Poker Stars after he made a big scene about not playing again until Full Tilt players were paid back the money owed to them. As one angry poster put it: “People have every right to be angry over Ivey playing. The specifics of who knew what are far from certain, but many people lost life-altering money at that damn site.”</p>
<p>And on the subject of Iv(e)ys, but of a different kind, and courtesy of College Confidential:</p>
<p><em>How many Princeton students does it take to change a lightbulb? Two &#8212; one to mix the martinis and one to call the electrician.</em></p>
<p><em>How many Brown students does it take to change a lightbulb? Eleven &#8212; one to change the lightbulb and ten to share the experience.</em></p>
<p><em>How many Penn students does it take to change a lightbulb? Only one, but he gets six credits for it.</em></p>
<p><em>How many Yale students does it take to change a lightbulb? None &#8212; New Haven looks better in the dark.</em></p>
<p><em>How many Harvard students does it take to change a lightbulb? One &#8212; he holds the bulb and the world revolves around him.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If there’s one personality that I like in the online gambling industry, it has to be the flamboyant billionaire founder of the <a href="http://www.casinonavigator.com/bodog-casino/">Bodog Brand</a>, Calvin Ayre. This week, as he does at the beginning of each new year, Ayre predicted what 2012 has in store for us in terms of online betting around the world. Ayre said that we won’t be seeing much movement in the US, and called the European market “stale and mature.” The hottest locations on the globe, according to Ayre, will be Asia and Latin America, with virginal markets and keen gamblers. At the end of his blog, Ayre made me chuckle when he predicted that his Calvin Ayre gambling site would become the leader of all online gambling sites. It can’t be said that Ayre is lacking in the confidence department!</p>
<p><em>A billionaire dies and arrives at the Pearly Gates. St Peter asks him: “What have you done to merit entrance into Heaven?”</em></p>
<p><em>The billionaire thought a moment, then said: “A week ago, I gave a quarter to a homeless person on the street.”</em></p>
<p><em>St. Peter asks Gabriel to check this out in the records, and after a moment Gabriel affirmed that it was true. St. Peter said: “Well, that’s fine, but it’s not really quite enough to get you into Heaven.”</em></p>
<p><em>The billionaire said: “Wait, wait! There’s more! Three years ago, I also gave a homeless person a quarter.” St. Peter nodded to Gabriel who, after a moment, nodded back to affirm that it was true.</em></p>
<p><em>St. Peter then whispered to Gabriel, “Well, what do you suggest we do with this fellow?”</em></p>
<p><em>Gabriel gave the billionaire a sidelong glance and then said to St. Peter: “Let’s give him back his 50 centers and tell him to go to Hell.”</em></p>
