embraces Internet gambling</a><br>
(MSNBC)<br>
</b>Lending new legitimacy to online gambling, Great Britain on Wednesday
dumped its tax on sports betting in exchange for a pledge by its famed
bookmakers to shut down their offshore Internet operations and reopen
them at home. One bookmaker said the change could turn the United Kingdom
into “the hub of the global gambling industry.”</font></p>

change, announced by Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown as part
of the government’s budget for 2002, makes Britain the first world power
to embrace Internet gambling.</font></p>

Miami won it! Here was his Joke:</font></b><br>
</p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">A little
boy wanted $100 badly and prayed for two weeks but nothing happened. Then
he decided to write GOD a letter requesting the $100. When the postal
authorities received the letter addressed to GOD USA, they decided to
send it to President Clinton. The President was so impressed, touched,
and amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a $5.00
bill. President Clinton thought this would appear to be a lot of money
to a little boy. The little boy was delighted with the $5.00 and sat down
to write a thank you note to GOD, which read: Dear GOD, Thank you very
much for sending the money, however, I noticed that for some reason you
had to send it through Washington D.C. and, as usual, those meanies deducted
$95.00. </font></p>

<p><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Blackjack
was originated in France and is one the most popular casino games in America.
The main objective is to get as close to 21 without going over while still
beating the dealer's hand. This is done by counting up the value of the
cards in your hand. All cards numbered 2 through 10 are at face value.
All face cards are valued at 10 while an ace is valued at either 1 or
11 at the player's discretion. Hands containing an ace valued at 11 are
considered to be "soft" hands (i.e. A, 6 is a soft 17) while hands containing
an ace valued at 1 are considered "hard" hands (i.e. A, 6,Q is a hard
17) A blackjack is an ace and card valued at 10 (10, J, Q, K). A two-card
blackjack always beats three or more cards, which equal 21. </font></b></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><b>Before
receiving any cards the player must place a wager. Once the wager is made
the player is dealt 2 cards face up. The dealer is also dealt two cards,
one face up and the other face down. The dealer's "hole" card remains
face down until the player's have completed their hands. At this point
the dealer turns over his hole card. If his hand totals a hard 17 through
21 he must stand. If his hand is 16 or under the dealer must continue
to take cards until either his hand is over 16 or bust (which means over
21). The dealer must hit on a soft 16. The player has many different betting
and playing options... </b></font></p>
