Bragster - Victory is sweet
By Caroline on Thursday 15 April 2010, 11:49 - Betting Websites
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.
If you are up to that kind of challenge, you should check the website out ! Or if you just enjoy watching people I bet you will enjoy bragster.com.
Product
The website is very straight forward and very easy to use. It is organized as a community website with a lot of video you can view. The graphism is not really sophisticated but it works.

Even Politicians enjoy Betting...
By John on Saturday 3 April 2010, 12:14 - Fun Bets
We all love betting, even politicians... However they
might have different stake than most of us.
During the Winter Olympics, Robert Gibbs, US White House
Press Secretary made a bet with the Canadian Prime Minister Stephen
Harper's spokesman Dimitri Soudas over the outcome of the U.S. vs
Canada hockey games. Should Canada win, Gibbs would wear Canada's
National Hockey shirt on a briefing !
President Obama and Harper also had a bet over the same games, however in
their case, the stake was less original : a case of beer.
As we all now know now, Canada won the gold in both the men's and women's
games.
Gibbs honored the bets, wearing the red maple leaf of the
Canadian national hockey team at the start of a Friday's briefing. He also
ordered a case of Yuengling, a Pennsylvania beer, and a case
of Canadian-brand Molson beer to be shipped to Harper's office.

Friendbet : A novelty on the web that has been there for ever in “real world”…
By Caroline on Saturday 19 December 2009, 15:55 - Friendbet
We all have a point of view on the next soccer game and we all love to argue for hours with friends in a pub over a beer, with colleagues at the office next to the coffee machine or at home with our family while watching the game…
Of course we always think we are right and are ready to bet anything
to prove our point. But now thanks to Friendbet we will be able to
have a unique, friendly and user-friendbly internet based interface that will
allow us to express this basic need to prove our love for
sports and our will to argue over it with friends, family and
colleagues everywhere we will go and with anyone we know, providing only that
they can connect to the web !
Imagine being able to argue with Paul that moved to Australia last summer and with Rebecca that got married to an irish man in Dublin over the game that you are all following from your different locations ?
You can also start betting with your friends and colleagues in a friendly environment where one of you is sure to win the pot ! Friendbet’s aim is just to make it easier for you, and provide you with the technical help to do what you normally can only do with your friends when you see them.
