Line Between Sports, Online Poker Blurring

There are plenty of poker fans who would love to see the game classified officially as a sport, and there are just as many who think the idea is more than a bit silly, but regardless of how it is classified there are growing links between sports and poker. From professional athletes who play online poker during halftime to unwind to celebrity appearances on poker shows, there have always been some connections, and now the Sunderland AFC has launched their very own poker website.SAFC and their official betting partner, Betfred.com, have launched the online poker and casino site in tandem. This site means Black Cats fans can play with fellow enthusiasts in a SAFC atmosphere, complete with the team colors. Real and play money games are available, as well as tournament play.
