New Penny Auction Site Allows Poker Players to Buy-in for Less

Poker enthusiasts will be able to bid a little and win a lot at Bidibot.com.

2010-08-13

LONDON, ENGLAND, August 13, 2010 (Press-News.org) A brand new 'penny auction' site, Bidibot.com, for action-hungry poker and casino players is born. Players will have a new way to get their hands on poker and casino credits and will give them a more cost efficient route to some top online poker tournaments by avoiding satellites. It's the most surefire way to win in poker for less.

The concept is simple. Once at www.bidibot.com, players bid on auctions such as poker tournament packages, poker or casino chips and credit. Players can place as many bids as they like until the auction is over.

For example, let's say a player is interested in $500 credit on Betfair Poker. They enter the auction, which starts at $0.00 with a countdown timer of approximately five minutes. Each bid in the auction is set at a fixed price of $0.01 and every time a bid is placed, 30 seconds is added to the countdown timer. When the timer hits 0, the last person to bid wins the auction item - so $500 credit on Betfair Poker can be theirs for as little as 1 cent.

Bidibot.com's penny auction concept not only offers real value for money, it will provide online poker players with the kind of opportunities and packages that they are unable to access elsewhere at such discount costs.

John Tabatabai, CEO of Bidibot, comments: "Just as eBay found a new way for people to access discount goods, www.bidibot.com has stripped away the financial barriers that prevent many poker players from developing their game and playing in higher stakes events."

Note to Editors:
Bidibot.com was created by a group of professional poker players and sports enthusiasts with the desire to make the games and events they love to play more affordable for the masses. Bidibot is the first penny auction site that specifically caters for poker, casino and sports enthusiasts.

Their aim is to offer their customers an easy, unique and fun way to secure prizes for a fraction of their retail price. Through their bidding mechanism, one will have the opportunity to win anything from a $50 Voucher to a $10,000 Package including travel and accommodation, for as little as 1 cent. www.bidibot.com

2010-08-13

North Carolina's Contributory Negligence Rules Outdated and Unfair

Imagine that you were in a bad car crash. Not only was there extensive property damage to your vehicle, but you also suffered severe injuries and have thousands of dollars in unpaid medical bills to prove it. In an attempt to recoup your losses from the insurance company of the driver who hit you, you file a personal injury lawsuit.

Federal and Florida State Policies Put Bikes on More Equal Footing

2010-08-13

Today cyclists are a familiar sight on Florida's streets, but it has only been in the last generation or so (since the 1970s) that cycling among adults has really taken off. Before that, cycling was generally regarded as a children's pursuit. While many Florida roads have had bike lanes added to them, in many cases it's not a perfect fit, and on other roads adding bike lanes has proved difficult due to traffic patterns, natural and man-made obstacles, and expense. In March of 2010, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced a major policy change, saying that it was ...
