A mystery buyer recently purchased a 3% stake in Ladbrokes online casino for a whopping £37 million. 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. If Sagi is, in fact, the buyer, analysts believe this is a great move. It shows the he is confident in Playtech's ability to pull Ladbrokes out of second place and usurp William Hill's position as the number one UK bookmaking site. Should Ladbrokes be able to pull itself to the top, Sagi's stake would not only increase, but so would Playtech's. Ladbrokes has been struggling to compete with William Hill, and current CEO Richard Glynn is struggling to convince shareholders that he is the right man to get Ladbrokes back on track. Observers speculate that he has until next year's World Cup finals to prove himself; if he doesn't, a new CEO will be sought.
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. Bet365 will deliver a full range of WC qualification matches tonight so be sure to log-in to your account and place a live wager on a game of your liking.

Things have changed however since then, and with the Blackhawks winning the 2012/13 Stanley Cup against the Boston Bruins in 6 games, the Hurricanes will have to be on their toes to win this game.The Blackhawks are on point early in this season, losing only 1 game out of five and only 3 points behind the Central Division leading Colorado Avalanche. Even the lone loss for the Blackhawks came in the final minute of regualation against the St. Louis Blues, one of the best teams in the Western Conference. Chicago has however not been scoring as they should be for a team that is known for their offense, they have only put the puck in the net more than twice in one game out of the last four. The Blackhawks have only scored two more goals than they've allowed and will need to be much better if they want to beat the Hurricanes on Wednesday.The Carolina Hurricanes are coming off a loss at home to the Phoenix Coyotes and Coach Muller might be moving players around to better defend against the Blackhawks. You might see a healthy Tuomo Ruutu recalled off IR playing with Eric Staal and Alexander Semin on the first line which could be more that the Hawks can handle. Nathan Gerbe has two goals and two assists over a four game point streak so you may want to watch out for him on any Live Betting opportunities.

As part of their commitment to reduce their debt levels, the Portuguese government have agreed to review the current restrictive online gambling laws. It has been estimated that relaxing the laws could bring in a much needed extra 250 million Euros in tax revenues for the country. A committee consisting of the European Union, International Monetary Fund, and the European Central Bank will look more closely into the gambling laws.It's been 18 months since draft regulations were announced that would open up the country to online gambling sites, and should the new regulations come into force in 2014, the government is likely to impose a tax of between 20-25% on the profits of gambling companies based there. However, taxes like this can cause more problems than they solve, as Spain has found out to its cost. When it introduced similar taxes, several online gambling companies simply left the country, and ceased to offer their services to Spanish citizens.For more information about gambling legality around the world, and for an updated country-by-country list, click here.
