There used to be a local home game on a Tuesday night. You would finish work, head home, down some nosh, put the kids to bed and be in the pub for 8 pm. You would start with a tournament (rebuy) and then end the night with a Dealer’s Choice cash game, sneaking home about 5 am.
One day, someone came up with the brilliant idea of doing the same thing on a Thursday night. We loved the game as much as wizards love strange spells, so despite the consternation of those that shared our beds, we went for it.
It was a disaster.

Casino operator Las Vegas Sands saw its Q4 profits as its mass market tables had their best quarter since 2014.
Figures released Wednesday show Sands revenue rising 11.7% to $3.44b in the three months ending December 31, while operating income shot up 53.5% to $1.36b and net income soared nearly 138% to $1.21b (although $526m of this gain was attributed to a one-time, non-cash benefit thanks to the new US tax bill).
For the year as a whole, revenue totaled $12.9b compared to just $8.8b in 2016, while operating income rose 39% to $3.46b and net income rose 68% to $2.81b.
Sands CEO Sheldon Adelson – who joked on the analyst call that his middle initial no longer stood for Gary but Growth, “so I’m now Sheldon ‘Growth’ Adelson” – said he was “extremely pleased” by the performance, which allowed the company to boost its quarterly ‘yay’ dividends while also repurchasing $75m worth of Sands stock.

First-ever non-profit sportsbook arrives to the Ethereum blockchain platform, enabling trustless wagering and live betting innovation.
Tallinn, Estonia, January 24, 2018 – WinFlow, a blockchain-based sports betting platform operating in a unique not-for-profit model, is set to launch its ICO crowdsale on February 27, 2018 under the guidance of industry veterans. After a year of research and development, the company is well under way in creating a blockchain-based betting platform that inherently offers an unprecedented level of security, transparency, and innovation to bettors and the industry as a whole. It is expected that WinFlow will quickly disrupt the traditional incumbents in the multi billion-dollar market.
Traditional operating models result in the house raking significant profit from its players, but WinFlow intends to turn the tables. Instead of retaining the house rake, the platform will automatically redistribute the would-be profits to players through a transparent and secure Ethereum smart contract-based system. The company refers to this as the WIN Back Rewards program.
“Unlike every existing sportsbook, WinFlow will not be looking to profit off the losses of its customers,” says WinFlow CEO Matt Ricci. “The house winnings will be systematically redistributed back to the players as part of our rewards program; providing the best possible value to all bettors.”
