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.

It may be hard to believe, but online poker is well and truly on the march in the United States of America, with Nevada's first licensee Ultimate Poker dealing 100,000 hands in its first 72 hours of operations. The big 100k! In its first 72 hours of operations since opening its doors at the start of May, Ultimate Poker had registered thousands of users from all 50 US states and even from 20 other countries. By its third day, it was running 50 online poker tables with constant action and had already dealt out its 100,000th hand. Company officials said the launch of Ultimate Poker, the United States' first legal real-money online gaming website since the 2006 UIGEA law effectively banned their operation, had exceeded all expectations. CEO Tobin Prior even joked that "We were the largest power room in the state." History in the making Ultimate Gaming made history last week when it dealt the first legal, real-money online poker hand in the US, made possible by the new law passed in Nevada that allows local firms to host internet gambling for non-state residents. This effectively creates a nationwide framework for online gaming despite the failure of federal regulation attempts. Online gambling giant 888 is also preparing to launch in Nevada some time this year, while leading companies from around the globe are applying for licenses in Nevada, New Jersey and Delaware - the three states that have passed laws approving some form of online gambling this year.
The Indiana Pacers will be looking to level their best-of-seven NBA Eastern Conference semi-final series against Miami in Indianapolis in game four tonight, but they'll need to recover from a disappointing game three. The Pacers surprised everyone by leaving Miami 1-1 after the first two games, but were thrashed 114-96 at home on Sunday. Pacers coach Frank Vogel believes he has the strategy to defeat a Heat team that appeared unbeatable in the regular season. Vogel says the Pacers have to do a better job on the ball, have to be more active helping one another, and more importantly need to double-team LeBron James more often. James destroyed the Pacers in the Post in game three, but double-teaming him may be easier said than done given that Miami has a myriad of other stars to contain including Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh. The Pacers will need Roy Hibbert, first-time all-star Paul George and the rest of their starting five firing. William Hill is offering pre-game betting on the game result and a number of other options, and not surprisingly Miami are slight favorites despite playing away from home. On the Money Line, the Heat are 5/7 and Indiana are 5/5 to win game four, while the Heat are -2.5 points on the spread. In pre-game specials, William Hill is offering 3/1 on LeBron James scoring 32 points and the Heat winning game four, while there are 7/2 odds being offered on Paul George scoring 22 points and the Indiana Pacers leveling the series at 2-2. If regular sports betting isn't enough for you, then you'll feel lucky when we remind you that William Hill offers live betting on Miami-Indiana and all other NBA games through its In-Play betting function. Just log on during the game to place live wagers on the game result and other scenarios. The odds update with the action.
