Online poker giant 888.com and their sponsored player Shane Warne came under fire over the weekend. Shane is alleged to have offered his 40,000 plus twitters followers $8 free bankroll in a tweet which read; “All my followers get free 8 dollars poker money by signing up here.”Warne and 888 immediately came under fire from church leaders who said that the tweet could influence children who look up to the former cricket legend. Warne’s agent responded by saying Warne was not aware of the tweet.
A great gambler Shane Warne is also a great poker player as well and of course his cricketing achievements are legend. Never shy of publicity he recently played poker with Big Brother star Shilpa Shetty who remarked, “I learned to play poker a year back, it’s an interesting mind game where you try and play the opponents’ cards. Sometimes when the players are relaxing, we have a game or two for fun.” So now you know!
there is always a whistle blower
