"Facebook opens doors to real-money gambling in Britain"

Sounds like it will be just casino based games so of zero interest.

Oh good.  So we can now see our friends melt down on-line.

I wonder if the app will have posts like:

"Jody Smith has just lost $40.00 in twenty minutes"

then the opportunity to share or like.

"Bob and Jody Smith are now getting a divorce since she maxed out the joint credit card."

facebook and betting should not be put together its bad enough on twitter

Of the greatest surprise in that article is that people actually pay for Farmville.  It takes all sorts to make the world go around.

Shirley... Zynga, the creators of farmville had around a 1/3 of their share value wiped out recently.  So, no, people are not paying....anymore.

There are a few things that have been puzzlers to me in my life and Farmville is one of them.

Thanks Shape.

but it's not gambling is it, it's just watching coloured blocks whizz around the screen ... it is absolutely devoid of skill.

Horse racing is hard work, you need to serve your apprenticeship.  You need, at the very least, to be numerate... have you seen what nuLabour did to educational standards?

Wouldn't surprise me if in a couple of months we have court cases being brought because losing is against someone's Human Rights.

Horse racing is as clear as the smoke from many burning form-books, as mysterious as the cloaks of artful trainers and as dangerous as the daggers of the dreaded bookmakers, and if your good enough to get past all that you may find something worth winning...
