Compulsive Gambling on the Rise
by Harry Nelson ( January 17 2007 15:8:0 )

Leading UK Doctors from the BMA said that compulsive gambling needs to be accepted as a form of addiction and treatment should be covered by the National Health System, and they predicted a large increase in the number of reported problems associated with playing at online casinos and poker rooms.

With The popularity of Online Casinos, sportsbooks, poker rooms and the new gambling laws, which will take effect in September, the number of gamblers is expected to skyrocket.

Since most General Practitioners receive no training on how to spot the signs of a compulsive gambler, they are completely unaware of them; this is according to a report by doctors in the British Medical Association, who is predicting a large rise in the number of addicted gamblers.

Since most places still fail to consider gambling an addiction like Drugs or Alcohol they do not screen patients for it, even if it is caught there is little to no treatment for compulsive gambling.

The BMA is also calling for the gaming industry to give 10 million a year out of a 10 billion a year industry to help pay for the treatments.

In a non related report the police are warning that Las Vegas super casinos would cause the crime and anti social behavior to go up.

Doctors should be required to test patients for gambling problems like they do for smoking, drinking and drugs.




Court Rules Troopers Suspension is Justified
by Harry Nelson ( January 3 2007 12:37:0 )

After listening to the evidence a 3 member appeals court decided that the suspension of a NJ state Trooper was appropriate and that the suspension stands.

The New Jersey State Trooper was caught on tape talking about gambling with another officer who has pleaded guilty of having a small part in an illegal gambling ring that was taken down several months ago.

The officer?s lawyer said that the evidence should be thrown out since they were not allowed to hear the contents of the alleged tape, so it is not known if the officer was talking about being a part of the illegal gambling operation if they were just talking about an their enjoyment of gambling.

Further information about the content of the taped discussion could not be discussed to protect undercover operatives in an ongoing investigation, yet the court felt there was enough evidence presented to warrant further investigation into the officers possible involvement in a gambling ring that involved several officers the wife of a famous pro NHL player turned coach, and several former players.

The lawyer told the Cherry Hill New Jersey Courier Post that his client may appeal the courts ruling with the state Supreme Court.

How to Play:

The game of backgammon is played on a board or table that is rectangular in shape. Each player sits at 1 of the short sides, and if you break up the board into quarters each quarter has 5 pyramids.


The object of backgammon is to move all 15 of your peaces in a clockwise motion till they are all in the quarter of the board closest to you, then to remove all the pieces from the board altogether.


In Backgammon you do this by rolling a pair of dice. Each Die represent the number you may move 1 of your pieces for example if you roll a 4 and a 5 you may move 1 piece 4 spaces and another 5 spaces. You are allowed to move 1 piece 9 spaces but it has to be in 2 moves. What I mean by that is if you try to move the piece 4 spaces, but your opponent has 2 or more of his pieces there you cant move that piece 4 spaces but if the fifth space is open you may move there and from there you can then move 4 more as long as he has less then 2 of his pieces in that space.


In Backgammon rolling doubles allows you to move 4 pieces the number of moves shown on the dice. Once you have gotten all your pieces around the board into the last quarter of the board you can start removing pieces. That does no mean start picking them up and placing them in the box. It means when you roll the dice you can move the pieces off the board so any piece in lets say the fifth spot which is next to the center of the board can be moved towards the left to be removed. An example would be you roll a 6 and a 2 one piece from the fifth spot can be removed from the board and one from the 2nd spot can be removed from the board. In the event that during the game one of your opponents pieces land on a spot occupied by only 1 of your pieces your piece then gets removed from the board and until you roll a number of a space in his last quarter that is occupied by 1 or less pieces.


These are the basics to the game of backgammon there are hundreds of websites you can go and play for free online against a computer or other people. Have Fun.
