Bookmakers are going crazy before the World Cup, but we're pretty sure that nobody will be able to match Titan Bet's offer of $100 million to the person who picks the correct result of all 64 matches at the tournament. The offer is appealing to sites with sports betting traffic as well, with the lure of $15,000 for the affiliate that refers the winning player. Meanwhile, Titan Bet is offering five players a $13,000 package to the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas as part of its Titan Poker World Challenge. The top 200 players in the competition will face off from May 16 with a buy-in of 15 euros. And the site's $250,000 guaranteed freeze out will continue every Sunday in May. The tournament features a starting stack of 5,000 chips, and blinds are raised every quarter of an hour.
Online gaming software provider Boss Media received a ringing endorsement in April when independent player protection organization eCOGRA granted it accreditation. Boss Media, which was founded in 1996 by Swede Joe Wikell, became the 18th software provider to receive such accreditation. Its International Poker Network operates many poker rooms, including Paradise Poker, Poker Kings, InterPoker and Virgin Poker, while Boss Media itself powers online casinos such as Casino Club, Paddy Power Casino and Bwin Casino. Meanwhile, in the network's latest promotion, it is giving away a €250,000 prize pot to celebrate reaching two billion hands at IPNpoker.com. The promotion, which began rolling from hand number 1,970,000,000, will be open to all comers right up until that special two billionth hand. The winner of the two billionth hand will win €25,000, while another €25,000 will be paid out to the rest of the table.
Online poker has unlimited potential for casino operators if the United States would just go ahead and legalize it, the chief executive officer of Harrah's Entertainment Inc. has said. Gary Loveman said in an interview with Reuters that was published online last week that legalization would generate billions of dollars for US operators. "We would enjoy a substantial portion of that," Loveman said in the interview, making reference to Harrah's ownership of the World Series of Poker. Several bills that aim to overturn the effective ban on online poker in the United States are currently being put to legislators in Washington. Loveman also spoke to Reuters about the ongoing financial crisis; he said he is pessimistic about a recovery in Las Vegas this year, but indicated that the signs were better for 2011. Last week Harrah's reported a first-quarter loss of $195.6 million, up from $132.7 million 12 months earlier. Harrah's, which was bought by two private equity firms in 2008, is in charge of more than 50 casinos in six countries, including several Las Vegas resorts.

Now that the Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns and Orlando Magic are all comfortably through to the NBA conference finals, all eyes are fixed on the tight series between Boston and Cleveland. Five games in, the Celtics lead the series 3-2 as the teams prepare for game 6 tonight in Boston. Cleveland and Boston enter the game near equals to win at both Ladbrokes and Titan Bet. The teams are similarly equals also on BetRoyal. This is clearly a dramatic point for both teams in a series that has seen ups and downs. Lebron and the Lebronettes have been the best team all season long, and as the King expects to enter the most important free agent off-season ever, a ring for Cleveland, his first after 7 years of professional basketball, is a "must". For Boston, an injury plagued season, with new addition Resheed Wallace shooting poorly from three, the series advantage is a tremendous surprise. Can they repeat their championship effort and form of 2 years ago? With Cleveland struggling, Kobe Bryant's Los Angeles Lakers head the odds for the NBA championship, 2.75 at Ladbrokes. But the prospect of a legendary battle with LeBron James is still on the horizon, with Cleveland second favorite at 3.00. Orlando, 3.10, Phoenix, 7.50, and Boston, 34.00, round out the odds for the season.

The Champions League final is just around the corner, but that's not all that will attract betting attention, with cup finals being held this week in several European countries. England's FA Cup is one of the oldest-running competitions in the world, having begun way back in 1871. Newly crowned premiers Chelsea will start strong favorites in Saturday's final, but one would be wise not to rule out opponents Portsmouth, who will be playing on emotion. The Pompey, who have made the headlines for all the wrong reasons this year due to the club's huge debt and eventual relegation from the Premier League, go into the match 12/1 underdogs at William Hill Sports, against Chelsea, 1/6. A draw is paying 13/2. Didier Drogba is favorite to score first, with Ladbrokes offering 11/4 odds. Sevilla goes into the final of Spain's Copa Del Rey, being played next Wednesday, as slight favorites. William Hill is offering odds 4/7 on the four-time champions, while Atlético Madrid is only a slight underdog at 5/4. Bayern Munich plays the first of two big games in Saturday's German Cup final, when it takes on Werder Bremen. Munich, which plays Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League final a week later, is the German Cup favorite, 5/6 at Ladbrokes, ahead of Bremen, who are 13/5.
Las Vegas Sands Corp., the multi-national casino operator headed by Sheldon Adelson, reported a strong first quarter to 2010 on the back of rising gambling revenue in Macau. The company reported a net loss of only $28.9 million for the quarter, a stark improvement on the $80.9 million loss registered in the corresponding quarter 12 months earlier. The main factor in the resurgence was the rising revenue at the company's two Macau casinos - operating income at the Venetian Macau resort rose around 70 percent to $113.9 million, while operating income at the Sands Macau was up 60 percent to $58.5 million. In Las Vegas, where things have taken a little longer to recover from the global financial crisis, operating income rose 62 percent to $41.3 million. The company's overall net revenue for the first quarter was up 23.7 percent to $1.33 billion. Las Vegas Sands recently launched its preview opening of its new Singapore casino, the Marina Bay Sands. In addition, it has begun construction on two more complexes in Macau that are scheduled to open in 2011, in a bid to reinforce its already strong position in the Asian market.
