A BIZARRE ONLINE CASINO POKER BET
'Giving the finger' takes on a whole new meaning
In what must surely be one the most gruesome and bizarre bets seen in the industry, an alledgedly sane poker player has staked his own finger.
Carl Valentine came up with his strange idea after playing with some people he thought were friends. One of these is apparently a multi-millionaire who bet him a million dollars that he could not send 2 million unique visitors to a specific website by April 18 2006.
This is where it gets more than a little weird; because he did not have a million for the bet, Valentine offered his right index finger.
If by April 18 2006 he has managed to drum up the 2 million visitors, Valentine will qualify to play online in a heads up online casino poker match against his "friend." If he wins, Valentine says he gets a million bucks....but if he loses, his finger will be amputated.
Rather surprisingly, the respectable online casino poker network Poker Room has agreed to host the match, or so Valentine claims. Rather strange behaviour for a usually reputable entity like this.
Or....it could be a cheap and even fraudulent scam. Time will undoubtedly tell.
