The financial world is now going through some turbulent times. The global economic crisis has affected markets and economies worldwide and has rendered the financial markets unstable. The crisis has deepened recently due to negative investor sentiment. In these critical conditions most investors are pulling their money out of the falling stock markets and looking for available alternatives for investment.

Many investors have found this alternative in the forex market. Unlike other financial markets the forex market literally cannot crash. This is due to the fact that in the forex market one invests in a currency’s value relatively to another currency. One is always buying and selling at the same time. Therefore one can profit when one currency weakens against another just as much as if it were strengthening against the same currency. In fact, the instability that the global crisis has introduced into the market is considered by many to be a positive thing. Volatility in the forex market, despite perhaps making it more risky, also provides greater opportunities for profit. The sharper the swings the currencies go through against each other, the more forex traders stand to profit.

And because this volatility makes the trades riskier, forex dealers also provide traders with tools to reduce their risk. Stop Loss orders are a very commonly used tool in forex traders, because they allow traders to limit the amount they are risking while their profits remain potentially limitless. One does not even have to risk the entire amount of their investment. For example, if one invests $100 on a trade they can place a stop loss order that will close the trade in case the rate of the currency pair reaches a level that leaves only $50 to take back. This allows traders to protect themselves from unpredictable market movements while simultaneously allowing them to take advantage of this same market volatility.

Despite these obvious advantages, some people still hesitate to start trading forex since they’ve never tried it before. This is where the eToro platform comes in. The eToro forex trading platform is a perfect place to get started in the forex market because eToro provides you with all the advantages of forex trading incorporated into a simple and visual interface. eToro’s revolutionary trade visualization make it easy for forex novices to acquire trading skills in no time.

eToro’s educational guides, tutorials and forums also give you access to all the forex information you can possibly require.

About Forex

The Forex market has quickly become the world’s largest financial market, with an estimate daily turnover of $3.2 trillion. It is a market that has great appeal to a financial trader because of its volume which guarantees liquidity. High liquidity means that a trader can trade whatever currencies he feels like at all times, since there will always be someone to buy and sell any currency he wants. Another outstanding feature of the forex market is that it is active 24 hours a day and is closed only on the weekends. This means that unlike the stock market for example, traders in the forex market don’t need to wait for a bell to ring, but can make trading decisions around the clock.

Enter the internet into the equation. Now the forex market is literally at your fingertips. Most brokers offer online trading facilities which enable you to trade simply by clicking a button, instead of the traditional phone call. The internet has really revolutionized the industry, making the retail section of the market more dominant than ever.

A new student poker and sports betting site has been launched recently, which offers a number of unparalleled features and unique promotions for players who are attending a university or college. MosesBet.com is a website run by a university student and built specifically for the college student of today.

In addition to the student oriented online poker leagues and private weekly tournaments Moses Bet provides, the college poker site has adopted some rather intriguing promotions including their very own ‘Student Bad beat Competition’. This bad beat challenge amongst students compensates university players at their various sponsored poker rooms for bad beats and “broken balls”.

As well as this, Moses Bet runs its own ‘Monthly Bluffing Competition’ which awards $50 to players with the most impressive bluffs holding the worst hand in poker – 72 every month. All these awards are set to rise as the site brings in new players, and new bedlamite promotions are no less likely to crop up in the future.

UK Students can also catch up with the latest ongoing student events around the country here, as well as information on how to qualify for these tournaments and the stakes/prizes are involved.
Other features worthy of mention at MosesBet are the professional student poker player biography articles, which highlight various young pros routes to the big stage – exposing notable career wins and cash pots along the way. In addition to this, Moses Bet members will be able to play online poker privately by using the special cash game and sit and go poker tables earmarked for student use by Moses Bet at Carbon Poker. Carbon Poker agreed when the Moses Bet founder felt that various poker societies across universities and campuses around the world needed a common place to meet and play cards on the internet. Thanks to Moses Bet and Carbon Poker, this has now become a reality.

The site’s current owner, an economics undergraduate at Manchester University, developed the site in order to “bring students from different areas of life into a single poker site with interesting offers, student forums and a blend of activities to keep users entertained.”

So if you are a student at college or university somewhere around the world, visit www.mosesbet.com and check out the features above.

PokerPages.com, one of the biggest Online Poker promoting sites are closing down. The management at PokerPages.com are yet to confirm why they are shutting down. However, romours have surfaced that it might have something to do with the site being sold. However, that is yet to be confirmed.

The management team at PokerPages.com released a statement on their website saying “It is with sadness and regret that we must announce that Poker Pages and all of its related services will be closed on October 31, 2009.
For many years Poker Pages has enjoyed providing the best source of poker related content, arguably the Internet’s largest and most complete live poker tournament results and listings database, as well as a place to play poker for free. These services will certainly be missed, but we realize that the most appreciated benefit of our products and services has been the community created by our user base. We thank you for the many great years you allowed us to provide you with the best poker content on the Internet and wish you all the best in your future poker endeavors. It has been a pleasure and a privilege serving you over the years!”

It is yet to be confirmed what will happen to Poker Pages. But Poker News Boy will try and keep you informed on any further news about the closure of PokerPages.com.

Pitbull Poker is no stranger to bad publicity, and it has been confirmed today (by PokerNewsDaily.com who has had direct access to the sites network manager Dave Brenes) that the site has officially closed its doors. The troubled site has faced numerous allegations since it opened its doors: The site has been charged with ranging from poor customer support and inferior software that causes numerous ‘bugs’, to outright cheating.

The rumors started on September 29th when players were unable to log-in to the site and were given the following message: 

Application Error
An unexpected error has occurred! Our support team has been already informed. See details below.
Message: com.draagon.util.ResourceException: com.draagon.meta.MetaException: Unable to load objects of class [draagon::user::User]

Around the same time a 2+2 thread was started by someone claiming to be Brenes (which was later confirmed by pokernewsdaily.com) : In his post Brenes claimed that staff informed him that ownership was sneaking out in the middle of the night with computers; the staff then called the police, and the culprits were taken in for questioning.

At this point it’s still unclear if Pitbull customers will be reimbursed or not. This sad episode is yet another indicator of how important it is for the US Congress to legalize and regulate this industry in order to prevent these types of scenarios from occurring.

Bodog president and CEO Patrick Selin announced the creation of a new poker network –aptly called BodogNetwork.com. Set to launch in 2010, BodogNetwork.com’s goal is to forge a poker network based on security and integrity.

Selin, the former OnGame Network CEO, has plenty of experience running a large poker network. During his time with OnGAme the network was the highest trafficked poker network, trailing only the large independent poker-rooms like PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker, and PartyPoker.

Bodog has been branching out more and more in recent months, perhaps as a sign they are ready to compete with the big boys in the online poker world. First was the creation of Bodog.ca, their Canadian poker site –which joins Bodog.co.uk. Bodog has also created MAC compatible software, and now comes the announcement of a poker network.

Bodog also sponsors some of the poker world’s most well known players as spokespeople: Jean-Robert Bellande, David Williams, Evelyn Ng, and Justin Bonomo.

Sebok dressed as Robin, after losing a prop bet

Although Sebok is far from a household name like Annie Duke and Phil Hellmuth, he is well known in poker circles both for his solid play as well as being the founder of pokerroad.com –an online media outlet where he gives poker fans interesting perspectives on the ins-and-outs of the poker world.

UB has been very busy lately signing fresh players to help promote their brand –Brandon Cantu, Liv Boeree, and Adam Levy—as well as adding a downloadable version of their software for Mac users; one of only a handful of online poker sites to offer this feature.

Sebok will not only represent UB as a poker player, but will also be working behind the scenes to help create a more user-friendly poker-room. Sebok was one of the most outspoken advocates for players who were harmed from the cheating scandal that plagued Ultimate Bet in the past. Bringing Sebok in as a Team UB member shows that the scandal is finally receiving some closure.

UB (and its sister site Absolute Poker) is part of the Cereus Network, which flip-flops with the OnGame Network as the 5th most trafficked poker site according to pokerscout.com. Earlier this year Cereus was as low as #8 on pokerscout.com, trailing Everest Poker and IPN, but has been steadily climbing ever since.
