Twitter: The social network website launches its bingo
The first application to play online on the well-known social network website Twitter will be bingo. With success that bingo knows currently on the Internet, it is a little normal if bingo was chosen by Twitter even if games like blackjack, poker, slot machines exist online. The bingo of Twitter will be launched under the name of TwitterINGO. Besides its name, the new application differs somewhat from the traditional bingo. Indeed, the numbers were replaced by figures. Like the network, prices will be also fictitious but it is hoped that the pleasure will remain the same. As a reward, players will receive badges I won twitteringo or literally I gained at twitteringo; badge which they can post later on the profile in order to be seen in virtual circles they attend. The concept of money was excluded of this new remix of bingo. Currently tweeps (members of the Twitter community) will be able to play TwitterINGO only once in the week.

November Nine: Phil Ivey threaten bookmakers
Many fans of poker are behind Phil Ivey for the awaited final of the 2009 World Series of Poker (WSOP), but the opposite reaction is observed from bookmakers because the Tiger Wood of poker could disturb the forecast of bookmakers. These latter are well-known to never leave looser for the bets which they organize. But the finale of the Main Event of the 2009 World Series of Poker could enter the annals, because the situation could be particularly unfavorable for them. Even if Iveys talent as regards poker is undeniable, he was not among the biggest favorites at the beginning of the championships. Some sites of online bet went even until proposing an edge of 150 against 1 in case if Phil Ivey wins in Las Vegas. By multiplying this with the numbers of punters and fans who took the bet, bookmakers will register a dead loss of many millions of dollars if Phil Ivey wins the Main Event of the 2009World Series of poker.
