Biggest gambling events of 2009

For people who like to gamble, or for people who just like to watch others gamble, there are some big events coming up this year. The World Series of Poker is by far the biggest gambling event that will be taking place in 2009, so if you're a poker player and have what it takes or if you just want to keep up with your favourite poker players, that's the event to keep track of. The schedule has been changed up a bit for 2009, but most of the changes that have been made aren't that severe, so it isn't going to be confusing or otherwise cause some kind of problem for people who enjoy the game. The opening event has returned to tradition after doing things differently last year, and the final event will be held in November with the top nine players, whittled down from the group of players who will start the tour in May.

The rebuy events that were available in 2008 won't be returning because there was a lot of displeasure voiced over them in the past. It was believed that players who were heavily bankrolled could buy their way to a bracelet and that wasn't the original intention of the Tour. It's believed that around five thousand players will start the season, and it's going to be more player-friendly this year, which is another big benefit.

Another huge gambling event is the European Poker Tour. It's the most popular, as well as the richest, of the poker tours in Europe and it started its fifth season in Barcelona in September. There will be a schedule of eleven events total. There is a lot at stake when it comes to winning money in this kind of a tournament, but it's not just about the money. It's also about the prestige of winning – or even placing highly – in a tournament such as this one. Thousands of people participated in last year's tournament, and this season has thousands of competitors as well, all vying for the enormous amounts of money to be won. Over eight million Euros was the top prize in season four.
