FRANKFORT — Kentucky is commandeering 141 domain names of Internet gambling sites in a novel legal move to crack down on the unregulated industry.

Franklin Circuit Judge Thomas Wingate ordered the names transferred to the state last week, Gov. Steve Beshear announced Monday.

Sites affected include such names as caribbeangold.com and sportsbook.com.

Jesse found my site some how, and now I have been reading some of his stuff lately anyways here is a really good post on playing with OPM, Other people’s money. Check our RSS feeds often I will throw out some freerolls once and a while so you can get started with Jesse’s technique

Here is his post

FullTilt Poker You’ll find the FullTilt freerolls in the playmoney section, under the Tournament tab, the All tab. They run every few hours and usually have several thousand people in them. Some of the freerolls pay Tournament Dollars, T$, which can be used to buy-in to any tournament, but not to buy-in to a cash game.
