A year ago a good friend of mine got a contract to work in Iraq.  It was a crazy thing to do but the pay was too good to turn down.  We had been poker buddies for a long time and not only was I going to not see him now, but I was going to miss our poker nights.

 

 

Then, messing around on the internet, I learned about internet gambling and online casinos.  I got to thinking, hey, maybe distance doesn’t have to stop our poker night’s after-all!

I told my buddy about the online casino poker.  He looked into it and got as excited as I was.  It’s not like you can just hit up the night life in Iraq after-all, he was going to have some time on his hands.  We both joined and online casino and got some practice rounds in with the free casino games that were available.  Then we set a time and started playing together online with some other online gamblers.  We’ve had a blast, made money, and also met some great people online.  I think it really helped my buddy with home sickness as well.  He even got some of his friends over there to join on! With anything from sports betting, horse racing betting, a simple backgammon game, or even just those looking to play casino free of charge, there’s something for everyone at these places.

Sometimes I’m not big on technology, but internet gambling is definitely something I’ve benefited from.  Who would have thought that a friend in the States and one in Iraq could keep their poker nights alive with online poker and internet casinos?  Crazy! It’s even possible to play poker UK style, regardless of your location, allowing my buddy and me to expand our poker knowledge.
