Stoke 12 - 11 Chelsea

Teams

Stoke: Begovic, Huth, Shawcross, Woodgate, Wilson, Pennant, Delap, Whelan, Etherington, Jones, Walters, Halsey.

Chelsea: Cech, Bosingwa, Alex, Terry, Cole, Ramires, Mikel, Lampard, Kalou, Torres, Malouda.

Notice Stoke had 12 men and Chelsea only had 11?

2 very clear penalty claims and a handful of not-given free kicks and Chelsea should have clearly won.

64% possession, many more shots on target, and Mark Halsey (ref) clearly on the side of Stoke and all Chelsea fans should feel robbed.

Mark Halsey should get at least a 3 match ban (equivalent to a straight red).

The good news for Chelsea is Torres played a great match, he's back to top form and was rewarded for his efforts with Man of the Match.

Note to Self >

NEVER bet on friendlies!

Flappy Brad just did BOB out of a £25 bet with his below-par goal keeping blunders. He didn't have the best game.

Orlando Pirates 1 - 1 Spurs

The Pirates are a good team. The first half was excellent, but because it was a friendly there were many many substitutions which ruined the game and the flow of the game in the second half.

One thing was learnt.

Don't waste money betting on friendlies, no matter how easy you think the game will be!

TIP OF THE DAY - brought to you by BOB, the Best of Betting (soon to be in association with Pokertooth).

Full Tilt Poker Gaming License Suspended - Site Shuts Down

The Alderney Gaming Control Commission has suspended Full Tilt Poker’s license to operating online poker games, preventing the site from legally offering online poker or processing deposits and withdrawals.

The news came in an AGCC press release, which noted that Full Tilt Poker may attend a hearing on July 26^th in London to deal with the issues laid out in the Hearing Notice and Suspension Notice issued to the company.

“The decision to suspend these licenses follows a special investigation prompted by the indictments unsealed by US Attorney General’s Office in the Southern District of New York on 15th April 2011, during which grounds were found to indicate that these licensees and their business associates were operating contrary to Alderney legislation,” the AGCC said in a statement. “The nature of the findings necessitated the taking of immediate action in the public interest.”

At the moment, the Full Tilt Poker site is down, and players are unable to connect to play or deposit and withdrawal funds.

Thus far, Full Tilt Poker has not announced any reaction to the news. According to the Twitter account associated with QuadJacks Radio (@QuadJacksDotCom), a source inside Full Tilt Poker says that the site may reopen within a few hours without a license. This would reportedly make it difficult, if not impossible, to find payment processors willing to work with them. At the time of this writing, there is no confirmation of when or if Full Tilt Poker will resume operations.

In other Full Tilt Poker news, the online payment processor Moneybookers has cut ties with the site. In an email to members, Moneybookers cited the “extraordinary circumstances” Full Tilt finds themselves in as the reason behind their decision to stop allowing Full Tilt Poker transactions.

The company operates over 240 high street outlets around Ireland and the UK as well as having a major presence online.
