We all know that Texas Hold'em Poker became a sensation, virtually overnight. And that it's all thanks to the fact that the World Series Of Poker [WSOP] became a televised event. TV folks have a long tradition of mass-producing cliché shows, based on proven performance. The cookie-cutter approach makes a lot of sense, actually. After all, TV shows...

In one of my earlier blog posts, entitled Only a Sucker Can Be a Lottery Winner, I pretty much express my opinion about people that spend money on lottery tickets. But what I didn't tell you is that I also recently purchased some lottery tickets, and those has absolutely zero chance of winning. So, if one has to be a sucker to buy a lottery ticket...

Electronic equipment has become so common that it would hardly come as a surprise if they came up with electronic toilet paper (no kidding, I've already seen electronic cigarettes). Although some electronic gadgets are nothing but gimmicks, we can't deny that there are plenty of useful tools that changed our lives. But there are also some pieces of...

CARDSHARK Online™ is one of the world's leading resources for gambling and poker research. Our site is unique in a sense that it deals with the controversial subject of crooked gambling, and card cheating in particular.
With the booming popularity of poker, especially Texas Hold'em, serious poker players know that to be truly informed they cannot ignore the reality that cheating has always been a part of the poker scene. Although there is no shortage of ignorant people that are quick to ridicule anyone that even suggests that cheating is a usual occurrence in poker rooms as well as other gambling venues, the reality is that ignorant "skeptics" have always been the best marks for professional card cheats.
If casinos, who do know a thing or two about gambling, also believed that cheating is not a real occurrence, they would not bother spending their resources on state of the art surveillance equipment. So, if cheating is a reality in casinos, are we to believe that it is non-existent in unregulated gambling venues, such as home poker games and underground card rooms... and not to mention, televised poker tournaments?
With ten full years of service, CARDSHARK Online™ remains the leading resource for anyone researching the subject of crooked gambling.
"This is the web site that will forever change the way you look at gambling, poker, blackjack and card games in general... the materials presented on CARDSHARK Online™ are meticulously researched, and the text exceptionally well written... the absorbing descriptions are just a topping for what is probably the best single archive on the subject of card cheating in the World."
