Phil Jackson is one of the greatest all-time coaches in NBA history, famously guiding the Chicago Bulls to 6 NBA championships and and the LA Lakers to 5 NBA Championships. He has more championship rings than he has fingers which is quite a feat by any standard. With numbers like these you'd never expect for a top ranking NBA team to close talks with Jackson and hire a different coach. Well they've done it, the LA Lakers have signed Mike D'Antoni former coach of the NY Knicks and Phoenix Suns to the gig. What does that mean for the odds? There are many online sportsbooks that accept NBA sports bets but none are as good as William Hill, Bet365, and 888sports. Currently at William Hill Sports the LA Lakers are at +350 to win it all this season. This has a lot to do with the additions of Steve Nash and Dwight Howard to the already stellar lineup but D'Antoni's arrival also affects the odds. At Bet365, the Lakers sit at 15/4 to win it all this year and at 888Sport has the Lakers 11/4. Whether the Lakers season turns around is still hard to say. They definitely need a change after losing the first few games of the year and they hope through D'Antoni, this will be a winning season.

Later, Jeff Gordon tried to explain himself: 'Things just got escalated over the year, and I'd just had it,' he said. 'Clint has run into me numerous times, wrecked me, and he got into me on the back straightaway and pretty much ruined our day. I've had it, fed up with it and I got him back." Jeff Gordon was swiftly fined $100,000 and lost 25 Sprint Cup for assaulting an opponent. Although he has not been suspended, he is now on probation until 31st of December. Another person on probation until the end of the year is Alan Gustafson, Gordon's chief and his crew chief was fined $25,000 for failure to control his team.Both Gordon and Bowyer are due to compete in this year's final race on Sunday at Finaleon Sunday Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Sold out within hours after it went on sale, the recently launched Nexus 4 smartphone has been garnering (mostly) rave reviews from both consumers and the tech community. Part of Google's Android-powered flagship brand and the first device to run Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, Nexus 4 has been praised for its looks, specs, new features such as panoramic images, low starting price - and its "pure" Android experience. For the mobile gambling world, Nexus 4 couldn't have come at a better time. With more and more games being created for the Android platform, and with Nexus 4's obvious attractions, many anticipate this development to expand the consumer market for mobile gaming. Mobile Gamblers are into Nexus Together with the Nexus 4 smartphone, Google also launched the Nexus 10 and Nexus 7 tablets. And all three devices offer an unparalleled mobile gambling experience. They also offer a chance to reach new users and expand the market: Not everyone can own a Nexus device, but Android 4.2 Jelly Bean enables multiple users (say, family or friends) to share a single device through instant profile-switching from the lock screen. The result is many more players in the mobile casinos - incentive enough for game developers to optimize their games to adapt to these new devices. Microgaming and 888 are already in the game Top online gambling software provider Microgaming has a goal: to get up to 200 games operating on all platforms, with Android leading the way. And it's well on its way, with Microgaming-powered mobile casinos now optimizing more and more games to perform well on Android phones. These include: Tomb raider, Classic Blackjack, European Roulette, Mega Moolah Progressive, Break Da bank, Mermaid Millions, Jackpot Express, Aces and Faces poker, and more. On the other hand, top online casino 888 has already broken mobile gaming ground with its Android apps that can run on Nexus 4. For mobile casinos, it pays to play it smart by making games Android smartphone-friendly!

Bet365 has taken another step in the right direction so far as responsible gambling is concerned, by signing on independent body eCOGRA as its regulatory audit partner. Bet365 looks to future Bet365 announced Wednesday that eCOGRA would serve as its third-party regulatory testing and certification partner. The online gambling operator said it identified the need to appoint a strategic partner that would provide it with cost-effective, quality compliance and audit services. Companies are increasingly recognizing the value of partnerships that will conduct independent specialist audit and testing procedures to streamline the complex mix of national regulatory requirements in new legislated and existing European markets, bet365 said in a press statement. This move could be a sign that bet365 is preparing for more expansion as new European markets open up to outside competition. About eCOGRAeCOGRA's brings its UK Accreditation Service-accredited testing laboratory and years of experience working with Big 4 audit firms to the table. It is perhaps the best-known online gambling auditor, and is well placed to handle the task put before it by operators like bet365. Andrew Beveridge, eCOGRA CEO, welcomed the chance to work with bet365, saying that it looks forward to assisting the gambling operator with future certification endeavors while ensuring it remains compliant in those markets in which it already operates.
