Nobody remembers the runner-up.

So, when Niall Farrell locked up part two of the Triple Crown with victory at the partypoker sponsored World Poker Tour (WPT) Caribbean Main Event, I didn’t care who finished second.

A few days later, and I was scouring through social media, looking for something to write about, when I saw the name, Troy Quenneville. A bell was ringing.

NFL Power Rankings Week 13

Due to a technical glitch on my part, I wasn’t able to get you last week’s power rankings. There’s been some wild, landscape shifting wins over the last two weeks so we’ll get down to organizing things in a gambling-centric manner. But let’s all recognize that no team is safe in the 2016 NFL betting season.

Is Dallas really that much better than the Giants? Are you sure? How much better is New England than the resurgent Raiders? Are the Bucs that far behind anyone? Could they beat the Chiefs?

We always preach for parity and now we have it. The result? Absolutely terrible football. Somebody please sign Kevin Durant in the offseason and make me a super team! I want my football back!

Dallas Cowboys (10-1 SU and 9-2 ATS)

ShareMyPair offer sponsorship deal with 2017 Ones to Watch promotion

Steve Miller and the team at ShareMyPair are offering players the opportunity to represent the brand in a selection process designed to reward talented players with a sponsorship deal.

Chicken Soup For The Soul co-creator, Jack Canfield, told me that I could do anything that I wanted to do. At the time, I was working as a manager in a rail freight company, and I had to admit, if I had been rubbing a lamp I wouldn’t have requested to be the best railwayman in the world.

At the time, I loved poker, so I rubbed my imaginary lamp and asked for a career playing cards. I think it was defective because I never did get to play cards. Instead, I ended up writing about other people playing cards.

But I didn’t complain.

Russian online bookies deny claims of customer data hacks

Russian bookmakers have been forced to publicly deny that their customers’ sensitive information has been hacked and offered for sale to the highest bidder.

The kerfuffle began last week when Dmitry Sergeyev, CEO of bookmaker Digital Betting, posted a note to his Facebook page saying one of the country’s largest bookmakers had been hacked and that the hackers were looking to sell the customer data, including hashed passwords, for 200 Bitcoin (US $146,500).

The hacked data also included answers to security questions. The Bookmaker-Ratings.ru affiliate site claimed this narrowed the field of possible operators to Marathon, Liga Stavok, Zenit, Parimatch and Olimp, with Marathon being the most likely candidate of this group to have a 1m strong database.

Marathon, which generally ranks second on Russian online bookmaker traffic reports, publicly refuted the suggestion that its systems had been hacked, issuing a statement stressing the strength of its online security protocols and assuring customers that they need not be alarmed as to the safety of their personal data.

Macau casino operators could set up shop in Coloane says government official

The casino business in Macau could extend to the island of Coloane according to a report in GGRAsia claiming a government official said public opinion would be taken into account if one of the big six casino operators applied for a casino license.

Casinos could start popping up throughout Coloane after Macau’s Secretary for Economy and Finance, Lionel Leong Vai Tac, gave a partial thumbs up during a debate on the Macau government’s 2017 policy address with the Legislative Assembly on Friday.

The secretary said that public opinion would be taken into account should one of the big six casino operators in Macau decide to open up shop on the tiny island.

The subject came up in connection with the building of The 13 Hotel on the Cotai/Coloane border, built and promoted by The 13 Holdings Ltd (formerly Louis XIII Holdings Ltd).
