Atlantic City, NJ - Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa has big plans for the future. Since gambling was legalized in New Jersey in February 2013 by Governor Chris Christie, Borgata plans to be the first casino to offer online gambling in New Jersey. All they are waiting for is for New Jersey to finalize the law. New Jersey regulators estimate that Borgata's gambling site will launch by November 26, 2013. It took Governor Christie two long years to finally pass a law legalizing online gambling; in doing so, New Jersey became the third state to authorize online gambling, following Nevada and Delaware. President and chief executive officer of Boyd Gaming Corp., Keith Smith, said, "We intend to be among the first to offer online gambling in the state of New Jersey and are confident the Borgata brand will allow us to capture a substantial share of this lucrative market." He further speculated on the future of online gambling in the States. "New Jersey and Nevada are now laying the regulatory groundwork for online gaming, and other states are considering legalization as well." Borgata operates under the parent company Marina District Development, which is a joint venture between Boyd Gaming and MGM Resorts International. Borgata will certainly need an online gaming partner in order to get their site up and running; while they haven't made any public announcements yet, speculators predict that they will partner with bwin.party digital entertainment, which was Boyd and MGM's partner for online gambling in Nevada.
Player volumes at online poker sites have increased by 5% during the first week of October 2013. This encouraging news was reported by 9 out of 10 leading online poker rooms. This is now the single biggest increase since PokerStars launched its Road to 100 Billion promo back in June 2013. Top 10 Poker Sites Holding Strong All but one of the top 10 poker sites enjoyed an increase in traffic during the first week in October. Winamax moved into 8 th slot and pushed Bodog into 9 th position on the chart. In trying to ascertain the reasons for the increase, cooler weather across Europe was cited. Another reason, arguably the biggest motivator, was the online poker enthusiasm across the US. Two of the US's biggest online poker providers - WSOP.com and Ultimate Poker - are battling for pole position. In Nevada, a Sunday cash game featured 192 players at one time - a record for the online poker room. Big Names Record Big Rises PartyPoker has rebounded off weak September figures.

A big drama unfolded last night at Fenway Park in the American League Championship Series. The Red Sox were trailing by four runs against the Detroit Tigers. The situation looked dire and it seemed almost certain that the Sox are heading for another defeat after losing their previous home game, which meant a 0-2 deficit. But then Red Sox slugger David Ortiz stepped up to the plate. Ortiz must be a Diana Ross fan. His swing gave Ross' song "upside down" a new meaning. Ortiz's swing had Tigers' right-fielder Torii Hunter desperately jack-knifing the Boston pullpen in an effort to catch the ball, an effort which proved futile indeed. A cop who was celebrating didn't even make an attempt to help the poor right-fielder! On the ninth-inning, Jarrod Saltalamacchia singled in to bring the Sox to a 6-5 victory, taking the next game to Detroit. MLB Betting With David Ortiz being the hero of the day, now we have ourselves a worthy series as the Red Sox are going west to Detroit's Comercia Park for the third game in the series tomorrow. The MLB play-offs exhibited last night how great the game can be - and seeing that things are heated up now, what could be better if not to add a little spice with a wager? Bettors can pitch-in to place a wager on the MLB Play-offs at online bookies the likes of Winner Live Betting, William Hill Sports or bet365. Log-in to your account and make your bet count on all the MLB playoff games this October.
North Ireland's Danske Bank Premiership season is building up some tight competition at the table's top. Tonight at Shamrock Park the mid-Ulster derby will go down with Portadown meeting Glenavon. With a win, Portadown (21 pts) could very well move within one point only from league leaders Linfield (23 pts) who've won 2-0 against Dungannon Saturday. This would mean more pressure on Linfield as the fight for the top remains tightly packed. Portadown's veteran manager Ronnie Mcfall seems confident in his team's ability to emerge victorious from the match, also noting that this is a home match for the Ports, but he has expressed his concern with his team's tendency to concede the first goal, a case which has occurred in five of the ten league games that have taken place so far. However statistics stand with the Ports: they have won six successive home games. As for Glenavon, the team is on a losing run having conceded two defeats against Crusaders and Linfield respectively. They'll want to snap out of the losing streak and noting Mcfall's comments, might try to push hard for an early goal to pressure the Ports. William Hill Sports is offering 8/13 on Portadown to win, 10/3 on Glenavon and 13/5 for a draw. A variety of pre-match betting options are available to punters including Correct Score, Double Result, Goalscorer Markets and Match Handicaps.

Speculators are naming Playtech founder Teddy Sagi as the buyer, but no one knows what account was used to purchase the stake, and Sagi has not released any statements.

A charged meeting is going to take place tonight at the Friends Arena in Solna as Sweden and Germany meet. Although both are ranked at the top of UEFA group C, with Germany having secured its qualification and Sweden promising itself a play-off spot, much is to be expected from this game. Last year's match between the two in the Olympiastadion was one for the books which many football fans will never forget: Germany was leading 3-0 by the end of the first half, when in the second Sweden pulled off a brilliant comeback completely stunning the Germans - the match concluded with a 4-4 draw and a stadium full of flabbergasted Germans. While both teams are at a comfortable position in the top of group C, a quality display of football is to be expected, taking in consideration last year's match and the line-ups of both teams consisting of Europe's top players. Seeing the history of matches between the two teams, it will not be improbable to assume a draw, but it will be interesting to see if Germany will attempt to "fix" last year's catastrophic slip.Bet365 Sports is offering 13/20 for Germany to win, 29/10 for a draw and 4/1 for Sweden. Other pre-match betting options include Correct Score, Goal Scorers, Goal Line, Asian Handicap and more.
