"There's no clear favorite," Novak Djokovic has declared in the hours leading up to his game against 13 th -seeded German Tommy Haas in their Round of 16 Wimbledon match on Monday. And while that's a slight exaggeration, it's easy to see why the Serb world number one is worried. Djoka leads Haas 5-3 in overall head-to-head meetings, but the pair have split their two matches this season. Haas has won their only two matches on grass - in the Gerry Weber Open final in 2009 and a few weeks later in the Wimbledon quarters. More importantly, this year's Wimbledon men's singles draw has been full of surprises. Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer bowed out to players ranked in the hundreds in the first and second round respectively, leaving Djokovic and Brit Andy Murray as the only two of the top four players competing for the title. William Hill Sports seems to disagree with Djokovic's assessment of Haas' capabilities in their pre-match betting odds. Djoka is 1/14 to win this evening's match while Haas is way out at 13/2. The other usual betting options are present, including set betting, tiebreaks and scorecasts. BBC is broadcasting Djokovic-Haas match and other Wimbledon matches throughout the UK, while other providers are responsible for global broadcasts. However, in this age of Internet it is worth noting that William Hill's WHTV is also live streaming the best matches of this year's top tennis grand slam. If you're making online bets through William Hill and watching through their Wimbledon live streaming service, then why not have a live bet on the Djokovic game? Thanks to Hill's in-play function, all account-holders can place wagers on point, game, set and match result while the action takes place at the All England Club - with live, updated odds.

This month the 3D online poker operator, PKR, launched their new real-money poker app. The app was released for the iPad and iPhone and is currently available to UK customers. This launch now means that PKR has real-money mobile apps for Poker, Blackjack and Roulette. Development of the mobile poker app took time because PKR needed the mobile version to meet the same requirements of their desktop poker client. A PKR spokesperson had the following to say about the launch. "We couldn't be any more psyched about launching our real money poker on mobile. It really is our 'monster hand' and it's awesome to see so many downloads already. If you're jetting off on holiday but need to wait around in the airport for three hours before the flight - you can just whip out the iPhone and enter a Sit & Go. That's probably the coolest thing for us and the app's only going to get better over time." The mobile app went through rigorous beta testing in order to raise the quality of the app and fix as many bugs as possible. The app allows players to play Texas Holdem, Pot-limit Omaha and Omaha Hi-Low. Players can play both Sit & goes and cash games on the app. Players can use the built-in chat feature to communicate with other players and have over 40 different avatars to choose from. PKR also included chip trick animations, and over 20 different playing environments inspired by PKR's desktop poker client.
In late 2011, the US Department of Justice passed a landmark ruling that individual states can legalize online gambling without fear of repercussions. While federal legalization still faces many hurdles, a number of states have already approved eGaming and a number more are waiting in the wings. Below is the updated list. Legal Online Gambling Nevada, as always is the pioneer. In June this year, licensee Ultimate Poker opened its doors to intra-state customers in the country's first legal, real-money Internet gambling launch. This is only the first step. In February, the state finalized a law authorizing local firms to host online gambling for non-residents - effectively creating a nationwide framework for online gambling where the feds have failed to do so. Delaware actually beat Nevada to legalization in June 2012, but with more restrictions. Under the Delaware Gaming Competitiveness Act 2012, Delaware Lottery will be the sole regulator of real-money poker, slots, bingo and video lottery games. In May 2013 it selected a joint bid from 888, Scientific Games Corp and WMS to operate the state's Internet Gambling services. New Jersey was the third to join the online gambling rush. Its law, which is set to be implemented later this year, sets up a 10-year trial period in which the state will issue intrastate online gambling licenses to Atlantic City casinos and tax them at 15% (instead of 10% for land-based casinos). Next States in Line Pennsylvania has emerged as the likely next candidate to endorse online gambling, after lawmakers introduced a bill in April that would allow existing land-based gambling establishments to offer online casino games including poker. If the law passes, out-of-state software firms will be permitted to partner with local gambling operators. California was originally considered the frontrunner for legal in-state online gambling, but those efforts have fallen by the wayside. Other states that are looking at ways to legal some form of Internet gambling are Connecticut, Ohio and Iowa. New York does not seem to be considering online casinos and poker, but there has been talk that it will enable lottery tickets to be sold online. Not Anytime Soon Most of the Southern states such as Arkansas, Alabama and Georgia, leave little room for movement on the online gambling issue. All have pretty strong penalties for the activity on the books, and the situation appears likely to change only in the event that the federal government steps in and legalizes on a nationwide level. Illinois and Massachusetts lawmakers have both made efforts in recent years, but these moves seem to have been blocked for now. In Illinois, state senators recently passed a gambling expansion bill but only after deleting all references to online gambling. In Mass, an online gambling amendment was removed before passage of this year's state budget.For more information about legality of online gambling worldwide, click here.
Online gambling association have protested the European Commission's approval of a French proposal to impose an extra levy on online horse-race betting in order to finance horse-racing companies. EU Gives Go Ahead As part of its online horse-race betting reforms, France notified the European Commission of a its proposal to impose an additional levy of 8% on all online horse-race betting wagers. It said the revenues from this levy would finance a service to improve and promote horse-breeding. The Commission opened an investigation into the proposal in 2010, finally deciding this week that the French scheme is compatible with its own regulations. It took the view that by spreading the burden of financing races between the various operators, the measure would allow for fair competition in the online horse-race betting market. Gambling Bodies Protest The Remote Gambling Association and the European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA) released a joint press release expressing "concern" about the EC decision. They noted that France proposed the levy in 2010 because of fear that more competition in horserace betting would threaten the sport's revenues, but that revenues have grown steadily since then. They also noted that levies or parts of levies can only be justifiable if they truly serve common interest objectives, such as veterinary research or treatment, and claimed that by transferring funds from one industry to another would distort competition between sectors and member states (and therefore be liable to legal challenge).

Nice is only about 100km across the water from the island of Corsica, but it is a world apart for the participants in the 2013 Tour de France. After three days of cycling more than 500km through the sometimes hilly, sometimes flat countryside of Corsica, the riders enter their first city time trial on day four today. This will be the only team time trial in this year's Tour. The TTT is a road-based bike race in which teams race against the clock, starting at equal intervals of a couple of minutes apart.

Competition will be hot in day four, with more than just the general classification and individual jerseys at stake. This is one of those days in which each of the 19 teams gets to show off their skills and place themselves in the position to be the leading team when the Tour de France rolls into Paris on July 21. William Hill is offering seven Tour de France Outright Markets throughout cycling's biggest annual event, including: 2013 Winner, Points Classification Winner, King of the Mountains, Team Classification Winner, Young Rider Classification Winner, Podium Finish and Top 10 Finish.

It was a great night for the Confederations Cup final as the Brazilian National Men's soccer team put the ball in the net 3 times against Spain's team. Brazil controlled the 90 minutes of play, in what could be the outcome of next year's World Cup in Brazil. It is next year's World Cup that drew over 1,000,000 protesters in over 100 cities throughout Brazil who have come together to protest the fact that Brazil is spending over $14 billion on the tournament while basic facilities like hospitals, schools, public security and transportation are in dire need of serious investment. Brazilian authorities deployed over 10,000 police offices and additional security personnel to make sure the seemingly quiet marches during the day didn't turn into riots like what we are seeing in other places in the world right now. Police were forced to use teargas later in the evening to disperse a small group of protesters late on Sunday night but it was nothing compared to the overjoyed fans that took to the streets following the home teams victory.The final was played in Rio de Janeiro's Maracana Stadium on Sunday night and the deafening crowd helped the home team crush their rivals from Spain at the end of the two week Confederation Cup. Throughout the tournament, punters from all over the world could have won some really big cash if they bet on the games with William Hill Sportsbook. The famous online sportsbook was featuring the best lines on all of the games and if you weren't able to make it to the games in Brazil, the next, most exciting way to watch would be to play the in-play bets offered by William Hill Sportsbook. For over a decade, Brazil's economy has been booming but not enough of the revenue has been earmarked to remedy major problems like inflation, rising crime, and poor public services. President Dilma Rousseff, who was booed at the Confederation Cup opener in Brasilia, decided not to attend the final as her approval ratings have dropped since the protests began.
As of last year, the UK's gambling industry was worth more than £2 billion. The industry's value has been climbing steadily for a number of years; this valuation is an all-time high.In particular, online gambling's popularity has surged. This coincides with general trends of moving entertainment to computer forums and entertainment that generally revolves around staying home. In large part due to recent economic recessions as well as being due to extremely busy schedules in the modern reality of two-income families, people are choosing to stay home rather than spend on extravagant nights out. Some of the money saved has gone towards online gambling - saving and taking the chance to win big at the same time!Interestingly, brick-and-mortar casinos specifically have become a less popular form of entertainment not only due to the financial crisis and busy schedules, but due to the smoking ban. It seems smoking is such an integral part of the gambling experience that many players would rather wager from the comfort of their smoke ban-free homes. The forecast, for all of these reasons, in addition to online gambling sites continually improving their product, is for this £2 billion industry to continue to grow - and fast!In particular, Vernons Casino and Poker is a UK favorite, known as the most trusted and enjoyable British online casino. Vernon's has been around since 1925 serving 5 million players across 150 countries.
