Just 24 hours after England Under-21 squad gave football fans around the country reason for hope by demolishing Scotland Under 21 to the tune of six goals to nil, the English and Scotland senior squads meet in a friendly match at Wembley Stadium tonight that will be, well, less than friendly. England and Scotland have played each other 110 times, more than any other two nations. Incredibly, they have only met three times in the past quarter-century and not once in an organised friendly. England won their Euro 1996 clash 2-0 and downed their old rival 2-1 over two legs in a Euro 2000 qualifier. No wonder then that there is so much excitement surrounding this match. The English FA have done a lot of "intelligence work" with English and Scottish police to prepare for the rush of fans from north of the border, but hopefully once the game kicks off everyone can concentrate on the action on - rather than off - the pitch. William Hill Sports knows that people all around the UK and the world love England-Scotland football contests, which is why it is offering its complete range of pre-match betting options including match result (England 4/9, Scotland 15/2, draw 7/2), goalscorer and 5 minute markets and other specials. Hill is offering all three Football Concessions promos on tonight's match and the other international friendlies taking place around the globe - Acca Insurance, Goalscorer Second Chance and Bore Draw Insurance all ensure money back under varying conditions. As you would expect, Hill's online sportsbook will be at Wembley bringing you live betting throughout the entire 90 minutes. So whether it's England, Scotland or a draw, you can place in-play bets during the game, with Hill providing up-to-the second odds on match result and other scenarios.
Harry Reid unsuccessfully tried to get an online poker bill passed during 2012. That effort fell on deaf ears, but the issue has been raised again and now the momentum seems to be on Reid's side. Sources close to Harry Reid have hinted that the Nevada Senator may well relaunch his efforts to bring legislation to bear on online poker gaming in the US. In tandem with Reid's efforts to legalize online poker, will be stronger legislation against other forms of online gambling. Gambling States Cooperate for the Passing of a Bill Both New Jersey and Nevada have combined forces to set up a regulatory committee to explore the possibilities with the online poker industry. A surprise supporter of regulating the online poker industry in the US is none other than the Venetian's owner - Sheldon Adelson. Once a staunch opponent of legalized online poker, Adelson appears to have done a 180-degree turn and is now supportive of the measure. All the hoopla around the potential passing of the bill is likely related to moves in California towards regulated online gambling. Nevadans fear that if California legalizes online poker, a massive slice of the gambling market will be lost to the state of Nevada. Multiple states are exploring the possibilities of legalizing online poker within their territories. These include Illinois, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Delaware and California.

Whether it has been caused by the recent spate of record Powerball jackpots or by the current generation's search for instant gratification, the evidence shows that lottery players are increasingly interested in only the largest jackpots. Greater Expectations It was only a few years ago that a $100 million jackpot was enough to get people out of their homes and into a long line for lottery tickets, Powerball Group chairman and New Mexico Lottery CEO Tony Romero recently told The Washington Post. Later the threshold rose to $200 million, he said, and is now approaching $300 million. This phenomenon could be termed "jackpot fatigue," according to another industry expert interviewed by the Post, Multi-State Lottery director Chuck Strutt. He recalled a time when a $10 million jackpot in Illinois attracted long lines, but pointed out that increased jackpot sizes have put an end to those days. Powerball Revamp This interesting trend could partly be a result of the Powerball revamp in January 2012, in which ticket prices rose from $1 to $2 - causing an increase in the size of major jackpots. There was an immediate loss in the number of players, but a 52% increase in overall sales - which reached $5.9 billion in the 12 months ending June. As you would expect, Powerball has been paying off record jackpots lately. At least three players in two states (two in New Jersey and one in Minnesota) hit the winning numbers (05, 25, 30, 58, 59 and Powerball 32) in last week's $448 million draw. This was the third largest-ever Powerball jackpot and came only months after the all-time record of $590 million won by a lucky woman from Florida. Purchase Tickets Online Online lottery ticket agents have also fuelled increased interest in larger jackpots. Now that websites such as Lotterymaster and The Lotter provide access to US lotteries, it means that anybody can purchase a ticket no matter where they are in the world. Lotterymaster sells tickets to the twice-weekly US Powerball, plus US Mega Millions, Euro Millions and dozens of other lotteries from a range of countries with jackpots that often reach eight and even nine figures.
