Poker Pros Challenge Obama to $1 Million Poker Game
March 7, 2009
Bluefire Poker has made a move to prove that poker is a game of skill, not luck amid the questions been asked by U.S officials as they consider whether poker should remain illegal.
Professional players from Bluefire Poker made the challenge to Obama, or one of the U.S. congress in a bid to show them that poker is more about skill than luck, hoping that a win would help prove information to help the congress into making a decision in the on going case to prevent online poker gambling.
The pro’s have made the challenge on the condition that if the congress are successful in the challenge, Bluefire will donate $1 million to charity.
Billy Murphy, Bluefire Poker said:
“Specific terms of the game haven’t been set yet. However, the format will include an equal number of chips at the start of the game, and the opponents will play long enough to demonstrate the advantage of skill in the game.”
“Poker prowess and experience demonstrate themselves over time - in the long run, the better player wins the game because the player’s skills increase the odds of success.”
Bluefire don’t expect to get an acceptance from the U.S. congress or from Obama himself, but the challenge has already generated alot of interest from other parties.
As court rooms come to their decision, the offer will remain on the table for acceptance.
Bluefire place the ball firmly back into Obama’s court…
Do you feel that the congress should step forward and take some first hand experience?
