Watching these a few weeks now but this is the best one yet. Thanks.

I have been wondering just what makes a player "professional" as opposed to "recreational". I get it that the lower-tiered books want to call winners professional and losers recreational, and that seems to be what Justin7 is implying here. It seems to me that if books want to attract players by giving out bonuses, they should have to stick to this "contract" ( the book agrees to give the bonus while the player agrees to complete the roll-over before withdrawing ) just as the player has to stick to the terms of the "contract". The player can't get away with nullifying this contract, why should the book?

I totally agree with you there. Although with sportsbooks it seems that if nothing is written they can do what ever they want!

Well, since some sportsbooks use this professional verses recreational label to get rid of players that have a clue, perhaps SBR could put pressure on these books to define what makes a player professional. Then the books would have a harder time cheating players.

Natalie,
Very professional.
Do you use a tele-prompter? Your extemporaneous on camera tone is wonderful.

Any thoughts to a laugh track to lighten things up?

Thank you for the compliment Prince Charles (feels slightly funny saying that as he is my future King . . lol)

Yes I do you use a tele-prompter which has the main key points that i want to discuss on that day. What do you mean by laugh track? x

I lived in Los Angeles for a while as an on air talent, more of a non scripted talk show.
Laugh track is a tongue in cheek comment, thats where the audience hears laughter, but there's no audience!

is lou always such a jealous type?

BTW

hmmm, im not quite sure the sound of an audience laughing in the background to a joke i've just made is quite the image we're are going for . . lol . . but i definitely agree with a little light humour or a smile might be nice. I'm actually quite a smiley person. My Grandma keeps having a go at me for not smiling . . she says in her old granny voice . . "why don't you smile dear . . you have such a lovely smile and you never use it on these videos . .such a shame . . can you please smile . .atleast for me . . " (I actually get that every week) So maybe I should take the'subtle' hints thrown in my direction and add a little smile once in a while?

Re Lou . . .he's my bud here and we work a lot together, researching news, building stories and finding breaking news to keep everyone in the know with the latest news that is out there! He's incredibly good at what he does!
