The Aussie Millions is just one day away, and this year's poker tournament is shaping up to be the biggest ever. Being held as usual at Melbourne's Crown Casino, there will be over 20 official events at this year's tournament, culminating in the A$10,500 no limit hold'em Main Event. Organizers expect that over 800 individuals will participate in the Main Event. In addition, there are expected to be a total of more than 2,000 individual participants in all the events, including at least 400 foreign players. The sixth-largest poker tournament in the world, the Aussie Millions was first held in 1998 with 133 entrants and a $1.33 million prize pool, but has grown ever since. Last year it hosted 681 entrants and a massive A$6.81 million prize pool. This year's event begins on Thursday and ends on Sunday January 31. Seats are still available.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard has come under fire from various quarters after agreeing to demands to crack down on poker machines. In a deal struck with Tasmanian independent MP Andrew Wilkie, Gillard agreed to take on problem gambling, beginning by telling the states that if they don't fit poker machines with devices that limit losses, the Federal Government will be forced to intervene. But the news has been heavily criticized, with state governments set to miss out on up to $1 billion in revenue, according to some estimates. Tasmanian treasurer Michael Aird was among the first to question the plan, although he said that his government remained committed to gambling reform and to finding a national solution to problem gambling. Aird said he could not put a figure on how much revenue Tasmania stood to lose from such a plan. What is known, however, is that it made approximately $60.5 million from its 3680 gaming revenues in 2009-10, a huge amount for Australia's least populous state. ACT Chief Minister Jon Stanhope also took aim at the plan, siding with local industry officials who said that Gillard had turned her back on previous agreements. The future of poker machines was a significant issue in the extremely tight Australian federal election, which ended in a stalemate that was broken when four of the five MPs not aligned with either major party chose to side with Gillard's Labor Party.
Some foresighted punters have made the drawn AFL grand final a bad day for Australian bookmakers, after a late run of bets on the unlikely result. Scores were level at 68 apiece between Collingwood and St. Kilda when the final siren sounded at the MCG last Saturday, only the third time in VFL/AFL history that a draw has occurred in the league's biggest game. According to TAB Sportsbet, punters backing the draw made around $1.2 million in wins as the odds on a draw firmed from $51 on the Monday before the match to just $26 by the time of the first bounce. TAB Sportsbet held more than $8 million on the match following the draw, and paid out half of the value on any tickets placed on either side winning the match. Premiership bets remain open as fans hold their breath for the replay this Saturday, which will certainly finish with a result after the AFL announced that this time there would be extra time in the case of a draw. Collingwood once again goes into the match as favorite, although slightly less emphatically than it was going into the drawn game. The Magpies are hovering around the $1.55 mark with most bookmakers, while the Saints are a good value underdog at $2.35, considering the closeness of the two teams.
Australia heads into the 2011 AFC Asian Cup as a realistic chance of winning, with most bookmakers currently quoting it as second or third favorite for the title, behind Japan and South Korea. The Socceroos have exhibited up-and-down form leading into the tournament that has many observers predicting a repeat of the previous tournament in 2007, when Australia was knocked out at the quarter-final stage. But the relative strength of the list and the experience that comes from competing against the best in the 2006 World Cup sees the Aussies still rating highly amongst both bookies and punters. Drawn in Group C in the 16-nation tournament, only South Korea appears to be a major threat to Australia, but Bahrain might fancy its chances of an upset. The tournament runs from January 7 - 29. Promotions Make a 5-fold combo bet on the Asian Cup with AllYouBet, and you will be guaranteed 10% back on any unsuccessful bets, to the tune of up to $100. Odds And now here are some of the odds from Betfair online sportsbook: Tournament winner: Japan 4.20, South Korea 5.80, Australia 6.80, Saudi Arabia 8.00, Iran 9.00, Qatar 13.50, all others 14.00 and over.

One of Australia's biggest online betting operators has called on legislators currently working on new exotic gambling reform to also introduce regulation of offshore online poker sites. 'Online poker operators are not regulated' Betfair CEO Andrew Twaits said that online poker sites, which he says cost the industry hundreds of millions of dollars each year should be included in new legislation that is being introduced to put an end to match-fixing in sport. He said that while he's pleased to see the federal and state governments tackling the issue of integrity in sports betting - which is worth over $300 million - operators of online poker sites are ducking under the radar, as many of them controlled from overseas. Sportsbooks support gov't The government's legislation has the support of Australia's four major online sportsbooks - Sportsbet, Betfair, Centrebet and Sportingbet, who obviously all have a vested interest in maintaining the integrity of Australia's biggest sporting codes. Another sports betting operator, Sportingbet, has called on the coalition of major professional sports, which represents the AFL, ARU, NRL, Cricket Australia, FFA, Netball and Tennis, to employ full-time supervisors to monitor betting trends.
