A very warm welcome to all our readers - we’re very pleased to present Tuesday’s gambling blog posts roundup.

First up today we’re going

Racing With Betfair

who have some expert insights into the day’s races :

Mata Keranjang would be dangerous if bouncing back to the level he ran to when second in a Group 2 over this course and distance in July, but the vote goes to Mon Cadeaux, who won with plenty in hand last time and looks a smart prospect. Timely Jazz may yet have more to offer after his confidence boosting win last time and could prove the best alternative.

Over to PokerStars next and there’s

Blood on The Poker Tables

as they up the pressure on tournament players in the European Poker Tour in Barcelona :

Today’s specific task in Casino Barcelona was to turn 72 players into 24 or to die in the attempt. But like so many days on the European Poker Tour, eliminating players was outrageously simple. Hitting our target was no problem at all.

Deeper stacks? Longer levels? An extra day for all the extra play? Overrated. Boom or bust is the new mantra, and by the time a 15-minute break was due at the end of level 19 — the fifth of the day — we were already down to 25. Why bother to go on the break at all? We could make a final table tonight, surely.

We rate PokerStars pretty highly, but you can read how they compare to their rivals over at our sister site, Golden Rule Of Poker

The answer to that impatient quibble, though, was also simple. We needed time to take stock, count chips and figure out what all this bluster meant. And once all that number-crunching was completed, we discovered that there’s a four-way, top-heavy duel going into the penultimate day of this event: Georgios Kapalas (1,724,000), Matt Lapossie (1,664,000), Marc Goodwin (1,545,000) and Patrick Bueno (1,467,000) all have more than double the chips of any other player in the field.

If you want to know who else bit the bullet and who dodged the bullet, then check out Tuesday’s full length post at the PokerStars blog.
