We're here! Where the heck y'all been?

So by the time you read this, you might have seen our expanded gambling coverage in Showtime. And now you've found this blog.

As you can see by the posts below, we've been here for a while. So take a few minutes, cruise through the old entries, find something that interests you.

And if you have topics you think needs to be covered, hit respond to this post.

My thinking is the blog is the area to flesh out topics, go into more detail than we do in print.

Example: On the bad beat story in today's paper, some card rooms debate whether to include all types of games -- Omaha, 7-card stud and Hold 'em -- in the same bad beat jackpot. Gamblers follow that kind of information; the general public does not.

Meanwhile, here's video gleaned from the bad beat hitting at Palm Beach Kennel. (FYI, Palm Beach Kennel did include them all, but after the 7-stud hit for the $233,400, they changed it back to separate jackpots.)

Help me out here, you all. This is your world; I just have the blog password.
