Roger Federer is favored to regain his position as the world's best tennis player when he enters next week's Barclays ATP World Tour Finals as the odds leader at William Hill Sports. The tournament - which pits the top eight ranked men in the world against each other - is notable this year for the absence of defending champion Nikolay Davydenko, who underperformed in 2010 and fell outside of the top 20. Who's Ahead of the Odds? Federer, who has been involved in a long-running battle with arch-rival Rafael Nadal for supremacy in the world of men's tennis, is 5/2 to regain the title he has won four times, most recently in 2007. Nadal, 3/1, has amazingly never won this tournament, while 2008 winner Novak Djokovic is third in the betting odds at 4/1. Next in line are: Brit Andy Murray, 9/2, Swede Robin Soderling, 10/1, American Andy Roddick, 20/1 (the only non-European in the field), Czech Tomas Berdych and Spaniard David Ferrer, 25/1. In Group A betting, Nadal, 11/8, and Djokovic, 13/8 are hard to split for top spot. Roddick and Berdych are 5/1 and 7/1 respectively. Group B is just as tight, with Federer, 5/4, leading Murray, 15/8, Soderling 10/3, and Ferrer way back on 14/1. The 2010 World Tour Finals will be held in London for the second year in a row. The final will be played on November 28.

PartyGaming has dealt a big hand in the ongoing legal battle between online gambling companies and authorities in the US state of Kentucky. According to Poker News Daily, the company filed a motion to dismiss the complaints against it by the Commonwealth of Kentucky, citing "insufficiency of service of process, failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, and lack of standing." In its motion, PartyGaming argued that nothing in The Hague Convention allowed the state to effect service of process by send a copy of the summons and initial complaint via registered mail. It added that Kentucky's Justice Secretary J. Michael Brown had no right to bring about the lawsuit, as that right lay only with the attorney general. Annals of a Lawsuit Kentucky attorneys originally brought the suit against Full Tilt Poker to recover funds it says it lost to the site over illegal gambling activities. Since then, the suit has been amended to include other major gambling sites such as Party Poker. The state has brought cases against more than 140 online gambling sites in total. However, the case with PartyGaming is particularly interesting given that the company withdrew from the US market in 2006, following the passage of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA), which effectively banned online gambling in the United States.

Swedish online gaming operator, Betsson, reported a massive 22% rise in their revenue compared to the same period last year. Betsson sportsbook had a strong performance, in particular with its live betting, which leapt up a staggering 278%, compared to the same period last year. Betssons Online Casino Betsson are quoted on the Swedish Stock Exchange and run a comprehensive online casino that includes table games, online slots, video poker, casino games plus side games galore. Their live casino has Blackjack, Roulette and Baccarat. Betsson online casino is available in a downloadable version or in instant play. Once you are joined up you can enjoy free play or play for real; making this online casino great for newbies and pros alike. Online Gambling in Sweden This Swedish operator may be making a name for itself across the globe but how does it fare back at home? Contrary to its international success, Betsson are barred from providing an online sportsbook in Sweden as they are not a licensed provider. Sweden's land-based casino market (which allows for only 6 casinos) is controlled by a state monopoly known as Svenska Spel. This company also unofficially controls online gambling in Sweden but the laws are currently unclear in this area. Svneska Spel offers Swedish gamblers online bingo, poker, sports betting and a lottery but as yet has no online casino. However, that doesn't prevent hoards of Swedish online gambling fans from using international online gambling sites, some of whom have Swedish language versions or offer the Swedish Krona as a currency option. The Future of Online Gambling in Sweden Swedish online gambling is currently in a state of flux. The future of Svenska Spel is currently being considered and Sweden's new government is contemplating a change in Swedish gambling laws. They may revamp the outdated monopoly system and replace it with a regulated market that allows foreign operators to enter their local market. If the Swedish gambling laws change then Betsson will likely be first in line to get a license and can't wait to enjoy some local online gambling action.
