The betting scenario for this year's French Open might be the strangest we've seen for any tennis grand slam. It's weird enough that the favorite for the men's title, Rafael Nadal, is only seeded third. But it's even more bizarre when you think that the women's favorite, Serena Williams, hasn't been past the quarter's in Paris since winning there in 2002. Rafa and Serena will have plenty of competition if they are to fulfill their favoritism status. In the men's draw, world number one Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray will provide fierce competition, while there are plenty of claycourt specialists who could also challenge. On the women's side, any of the top 10 ranked players in the world led by Victoria Azarenka and reigning champ Maria Sharapova could challenge for the title, and the openness of the draw is underlined by the fact that Serena lost in the first round of last year's tournament to 111th-ranked Virginie Razzano. In Bet365 Sports pre-tournament betting on the men's title, Nadal leads the way at 8/13, followed by Djokovic, 6/4, Federer, 12/1, Juan Martin Del Potro, 22/1, and David Ferrer, 25/1. In the women's, Serena leads at 11/10 from Sharapova, 7/2, Azarena, 11/2, and Na Li, 10/1. This online sportsbook will be with you during the whole tournament, offering pre-match betting on most games, including more detailed wagering options on sets won, points won and anything else you could possibly think of. If you're planning on watching the French Open, then bet365 provides a double solution in the form of live streaming on some of the games combined with live betting: Bet365 Sports will provide an extensive range of In-Play betting opportunities throughout the tournament with markets including Point Betting, Next Game Winner, Current Set Winner and Match Winner.
The 2nd Tennis Grand Slam is almost here, as the best player prepare to hit the famous claycourts of Roland Garros on Sunday with the common aim of still being there at the end of the two-week tournament and lifting the coveted French Open trophy. French Open Preview The men's singles tournament appears to be a race between two players: Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. The Spaniard has dominated this tournament, winning there seven times in the last eight years (he lost in the fourth round in 2009), but the Serb is in better form and comfortably beat Rafa in the final at the lead-up tournament in Monte Carlo. Roger Federer remains a threat, while Brit Andy Murray is a long-shot given his weakness on clay. In the women's singles, Serena Williams is the form player and favorite despite not having been past the quarter-finals at Roland Garros since winning there way back in 2002. Having said that, this is wide open from a punters' perspective as Serena is picked almost every year and finds some way to fail. Therefore, Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka are also considered genuine threats. Recalling Last Year Rafael Nadal broke Bjorn Borg's record for most French Open Men's Singles titles and equaled Chris Evert's record for most French Open titles by a man or women when he won at Roland Garros last year. In the women's singles, Maria Sharapova beat 21st seed Sara Errani to win her first French Open title and complete a career Grand Slam (having previously won the Australian Open, Wimbledon and US Open). The win also returned her to the WTA World Number One ranking for the first time in four years. Pre-Tournament Odds As has been the case the past few years, the French Open betting odds are dominated by a select few with everyone else as rank outsiders. Having said that, the fact that the 21 st seed came within a whisker of winning the women's title last year shows the value in betting on underdogs. In Bet365 Sports pre-tournament Men's Title betting odds: Men's title - Nadal, 8/1, Djokovia, 6/4, Federer, 12/1, Juan Martin Del Potro, 22/1, David Ferrer, 25/1, others 33/1 and over. In the women's betting odds: Serena Williams, 11/10, Sharapova, 7/2, Azarenka, 11/2, and Na Li, 10/1, Errani, 20/1, Samantha Stosur, 22/1, Petra Kvitova, Agnieszka Radwanska, Angelique Kerber, 25/1, all others 33/1 or over.

What odds King Klay? Manchester United and England star Wayne Rooney's second child is being offered 1000/1 odds to become Prime Minister of the UK at any stage in his life. Little Klay is quoting 200/1 to play for the England national team, 500/1 to be the youngest ever to do so, and 1000/1 to play alongside brother Kai for England. Royal betting is all the rage at the moment with Kate and William expecting, so Hill has also offered odds of 10,000/1 that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge follow Rooney's lead and name their first-born Klay.

Switching accounts As a general rule, Towergaming.com will automatically transfer customer accounts and funds to Jetbull.

For this and any other problems, simply contact [email protected].

Match fixing is one of the worst things in sports. You go to a game expecting to see top athletes battling it out with all of their hearts and souls only to discover later that a players or in some cases coaches have lost or messed with the game intentionally. The Federation of Player Associations in Europe which represents over 25,000 athletes held a three day seminar last week educating against match fixing. This seminar is part of an on-going multi-year program by the European Commission and the European Licensed Online Betting Industry working together to educate professional athletes and others in the wide world of sports about the integrity of sports betting. "Match-fixing is a complex problem with many sides to it. But one very important element that the European Commission focuses on in our efforts to tackle match-fixing is prevention. In this respect, educational programs and awareness raising campaigns can have a significant impact by reaching those most at risk of being approached to fix matches - the athletes themselves. I therefore very much look forward to the results of the project lead by EU Athletes and the European online betting industry," related Androulla Vassiliou, European Commissioner for sport. The seminar was based on a number of issues and participants heard from the police, representatives from the online betting industry and former professional athletes covering a number of topics: Know the rules of your sport relating to betting It is safest to never bet on your own sport Be careful about handling sensitive information Fixing any part of an event is an absolute No-No Report any approaches Fixers will be caught: Suspicious bets are monitored Sports are one of the ways that good people can make honest money through one of the many online sportsbooks in the world. To make a bet on a match that has been fixed takes everything away from the experience.
Game Four of the NBA Western Conference Finals tips off in Memphis tonight, and the Grizzlies know that they will have to create history if they are to overcome the San Antonio Spurs: all 107 teams trailing 3-0 in an NBA postseason best-of-seven series have eventually lost. Although San Antonio leads this series 3-0, records are made to be broken. The Spurs' have been in the playoffs for 16 straight years for four NBA titles, but haven't made the NBA finals since 2007. They'll be mindful of the 2-0 series lead they gave up to Oklahoma City in last year's Western Conference final. With experienced veterans like Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, San Antonio will be hoping to wrap up this series in game four and take the opportunity to rest a little before Miami and Indiana complete their series. But Zach Randolph and the other Grizzlies stars know they can improve on their poor shooting performance so far. In William Hill betting on tonight's game four, Memphis leads the money line at 20/29 compared to San Antonio at 5/4. The spread has been set at -2.5 for Memphis, and the Total Points has been set at 180.5 - punters receive 10/11 odds for over or under that game total. Hill has dozens of betting options on tonight's game, including the headline offers of whether Tony Parker will score 25 or more points and the Spurs win (7/2) or whether Mike Conley scores 20 or more and Grizzlies win (4/1). They also have odds on winning margin, period betting and more. For the best live action possible, William Hill's in-play betting function will be featuring live odds on game four. If you're planning to stay up late (or if you're in a time zone where you can watch at a reasonable time), then Hill will be there giving all its customers all the live betting odds on Spurs @ Grizzlies.
