Finding A Good Casino Promotion Near You

by Simon M Skinner

These casino promotions can be easy to find yet somewhat overwhelming. However, not finding a good casino promotion can limit the ability to generate a little extra cash from time to time. As now, nearly every casino whether privately owned or on tribal lands has a club for frequent players. One should however keep in mind that land and river based casinos pay off more quickly and on the spot than do online ones. In addition, individuals need be cautious if working with online casinos as there are many issues with identity theft and scams related to same.

Regardless of where one is playing or for how long, it is always good to register at the club for frequent players at any casino one visits. This is because most promotions today offer bonuses for those who play often as well as for those who are simply visiting for a short amount of time.

UFC 87 Flashback: Lesnar, GSP Steal The Show

by Ross Everett

The last time that Georges St. Pierre defended his UFC welterweight title, it quickly turned into the low point of his career. Already facing a number of personal issues away from the cage, he looked sloppy and distracted as Matt Serra defeated him by brutal TKO. This time, things were different as GSP brutalized Jon Fitch over five rounds to win an easy unanimous decision. The judges scores of 50-43, 50-44, 50-44 underscored the one sided victory.

After a dominant takedown to open the fight, followed by a barrage of GSP punches it looked as if Fitch wouldnt make it out of the first round. He managed to survive, though generated little offense the rest of the way as the champion had his way with him both on the ground and in standup striking exchanges. Fitch landed enough counterpunches to open a cut near the champions eye, but never even came close to winning a round. Fitch had to gut his way through another tough moment in the 4th, where a big knee followed by a flurry of kicks and punches had him on the verge of a TKO loss yet again. It may have been the champions strategy that saved him, as GSP decided to take Fitch down again rather than continue the striking onslaught as the round closed.
