Google : the next new online gambling actor ?

According to Kuzeo, a french website on online gambling, Google is soon to become an actor on the gambling business. Games

Amazed by the result of Farmville that now has over 80 000 users, Kuzeo claims Google secretly invested 100 to 200 millions dollars in Zynga the company creating social mini-games on facebook. Tech Crunch argues Google will soon open a new service dedicated to online games and last april, Google bought Labpixies a company specialized on module and applications for games.

Is the American giant about to overcome its major competitor Facebook in its own field ? Google's only pitfall is on social network and should the company conquer social games this will not be the case anymore. After that, taking the step towards online gambling should not be hard. Will Google be Bwin's next competitor  ?

Bragster - Victory is sweet

The american bragster.com is something else...

Concept

On this website you can bet that no one in the community is up to something. If someone in the community actually manages to be up to your challenge or make it better than the others, they can brag about it forever !

Lets say you don't think anyone can eat 25 eggs in a row. You can put up a challenge on bragster and see if anyone takes you on that. You don't need to give anything to the winner, victory is ofter enough for bragsters around the world as the website baseline points out : victory is sweet.

The website is more a community website made for the entertainement of bragters lovers and watchers than a betting website. You can of course connect via facebook and there is a lot of video watching.

One of my personal favorite is a video posted by carlisle one of the almighty King of the bragster (meaning he is one of the best bragsters around the world) where he puts on an alian mask and burns it up with it on his face. Carlisle manages to keep its composure although you can see the flames do burn him a little.You can check it out.

Product

BetClic's new fun video

BetClic just launched a new ad campaign in Europe. Although Betclic is famous for sports betting, the ad focuses on the website's poker activity. I really enjoyed that video it is quite funny !
The main point of the video is to show that 3 of a kind, even if they are dwarfs, are always stronger than 2 of a kind even if they are giants ! That is true for Poker but is it also the case for fighting ? You tell me...
The ad will first be broadcast in Italy the 29th of March.
