Who is Jimmakos

Jimmakos.comMy name is Jimmakos and I am a full time Gambler. I started playing blackjack in 2003 in the local casino until I wasn't allowed to enter. During the following 2.5 years I traded the UK Horse Racing markets in Betfair.com. Nowadays I'm playing poker online mainly at PokerStars.com. Apart from gambling, I'm fascinated by the internet possibilities and I'm a little into blogging and web designing.
