    Default Did anyone watch 60 Minutes?

    Sunday night 60 minutes had a segment on the "online poker" community, and Absolute Bet, & Ultimate Bet and their fiasco with the player cheating, and a bunch of lies about how " No online poker site is regulated, and how playing poker in the USA is illegal...and a bunch of crap...they had the actual players that busted the cheaters at Ultimate Bet and Absolute including the poker pro who was involved...and the Khawananke gaming commission [sorry for the misspelling} and how and where it operates...

    If anyone that doesn't know are business watched that spot last night, they just got scared off from playing online....a bunch of bad press, and the only two sites they talked about of course were the two worse ones!

    Just what we needed! Did anyone else watch and have a different view point of the segment?

    I missed it, was de-programming playing a new game I downloaded. Was this a re-run of the one they did last year?

    The episode was actually a repeat of one that aired late in 2008. The APCW covered the story in a Perspectives Weekly.

    I saw it the first time it ran, and was unimpressed by the one-sided report. I would expect 60 Minutes to do a more thorough investigation of their subject.

    Are you sure this was a repeat? They promoted this segment like it was new, and i don't remember seeing it..i am probably wrong, and if so, i apologize for asking again.

    I also missed the episode. I wonder if it has a free a replay. I must love to watch it since the issue is somewhat controversial.
