Sporting News Settles Gambling Ad Case for $7.2 Million

The United States Department of Justice announced last week that sports media company, The Sporting News, has agreed to settle a case in which it …

RACE - In tournaments it is sometimes convenient to remove all lower-denomination chips from play, as the remaining players' stacks tend to grow. Small chips are converted to larger chips and any odd chips are "raced off" in the following way: each player with odd chips places them in front of his stack and is dealt one card for each chip. Highest card (rank and suit) takes all the small chips and converts them to higher-denomination chips.
SEMI-BLUFF - To bluff with a come hand that figures to win if it hits.
BACK DOOR - Applies to a hand that was made in the last card or two, specifically not a hand the player was originally planning on having. Most often applied to straights and flushes.
LATE POSITION - For a particular betting round, a player who does not have to act until most of the other players have acted.
FAMILY POT - A pot where all of the players at the table are participating, even after each has had an opportunity to act.
TELL - Any personal mannerisms that reveal the quality of one's hand. E.g., constantly looking at one's hole cards is often a tell of a poor hand. (Some players, knowing this, will at times check their hole cards when they have a great hand and don't need to look.)
