Playing Strip Poker Is Loosing More Than Just Your Pants

Strip poker is more than boobs and taking pictures. It’s just another reason not to play poker online with other people. Seems that if one website can steal your your login and password then they can steal your money and probably scam you in other ways too. If they can do it I’m sure other sites are too. Never trust them damn computers.

Seems like other bookmakers are getting in on the poker action but strip poker instead.

Poker has become big business in recent years thanks to televised competitions promising big cash prizes and gaming companies such as Paddy Power offering on-line tournaments. The idea was originally floated as an April Fool’s joke but generated so much interest that Dublin-based Paddy Power has decided to look seriously at organizing a contest it hopes will find a place in the Guinness Book of Records.

“We got almost 100 requests to take part,” the company’s spokesman, also called Paddy Power, said. “We’re trying to investigate whether it’s possible or whether we’ll get put in prison for it.”

A spokesman for Guinness World Records confirmed that its research unit was looking into what would be a new category for the organization: “We’re considering their claim and we’ll get back to the organizers shortly.”
