A SAFE BET! Finally everyone is waking up to the massive economic opportunity poker is beginning to provide for the population as a whole. Blackpool and the Fylde College has built its own training casino which will be opened within a few weeks. Courses will range from GCSE to foundation work for a full degree to all students over the age of eighteen. Blackpool Council hopes the seaside resort will receive a licence for a mega casino complex under the new gambling laws. The college is taking note of the opportunity to provide a mass of employment to local young people. Courses will be available in roulette, blackjack and naturally, poker. Advanced students will train to be super croupiers with the opportunity for very high salaries. Academy manager Colleen McLaughlin said, “ We want our academy to be a one-stop shop with training for all gaming industry requirements under one roof.”
Any young person over the age of eighteen who takes the trouble to go through one of our FREE tutorials at dailystarpoker.com will already find themselves well prepared, at our expense, for any of the course work they may wish to take on at college. The best preparation for any job in the industry is time spent online actually playing Texas Hold’em and Omaha and becoming familiar with all of the nuances of ALL the eighty casino games we have on our site. Poker is a fascinating subject matter and there’s nothing like the “desire to win” to act as a stick to improve those math skills.
LUNCH BREAK POKER The Guardian reports that the average office worker’s lunch-break in the UK has dropped from twenty three minutes to a puny nineteen minutes. The more staggering fact is that sixty eight per cent of those office workers (given the opportunity) would prefer to play poker online while they eat their sandwiches. It doesn’t stop there. According to the survey twenty seven per cent of those workers are winning an extra £400 per week with their poker endeavours. No mention is made of how many workers are losing £400 per week, but as the Guardian suggests in wry fashion, “Presumably they’re being paid by the winners to go fetch the sandwiches!” This explains why the lunch-break and midnight are hours when a surge of players pour onto dailystarpoker.com in aggressive attempts to pay off the mortgage.
