Ladbrokes Exchange is a new feature that is scheduled to be added to Ladbrokes online sportsbook in early 2014. It will be a new product that will run alongside Ladbrokes' already existing fixed odds sportsbook, and will be accessible on Mac, PC, Tablet and Mobile. The goal is to create a more comprehensive and strategically differentiated sports betting for customers around the world. The idea of Ladbrokes Exchange became possible when Ladbrokes acquired the Betdaq betting exchange, and decided to use it to launch a standalone business. The Exchange will hopefully bring new life to the United Kingdom's standard but stagnant online gambling site. Promotion of Ladbrokes Exchange will mostly be done from Ladbrokes' new subsidiary in Israel, which was opened in May 2013. Ladbrokes Israel has approximately 60 employees and expects that number to grow to 100 by the end of 2013. Their goal will be the restructuring of resources with a focus on fully integrating Playtech into the system. You can learn more about Ladbrokes Exchange on the Ladbrokes site - there is already a tab on the home page menu that says "Ladbrokes - Coming Soon." You can view the interesting promo video which ncludes the subtitles: "We've been working day and night...to bring you...Ladbrokes Exchange. Coming Soon."

Macclesfield and Southport meet tonight at Moss Rose Ground for an interesting Skrill Premier mid-table match. Macclesfield's current position in the league is 15, but don't let that deceive you - the team has displayed some great performance, winning five of their last six matches with just one narrow loss to Tamworth. Macclesfield will be looking for a victory that will bring them to four straight home wins and six victories from seven games in total. A win would also bring them up to the top half of the table. Southport is coming to Moss Rose in a really bad shape. The team suffered five defeats on their last five away matches. Spirits must be low seeing the losses conceded - a series of 1:0 losses and a 4-1 loss to Tamworth. The loss to Tamworth occurred in the beginning of September, and Southport's last win was a tight 2-1 against Alfreton almost a month ago. Looking at this bad shape, it's easy to believe Southport will concede another defeat tonight, but being the underdog that it is - it might be a good incentive for the Soundgrounders to prove everyone wrong. In Match Betting, William Hill Sports is offering 4/5 on Macclesfield to win, 16/5 on Southport and 5/2 on a draw. Pre-match betting options like Correct Score, Match Handicaps and Goalscorer markets are available for this match. Punters will be able to place live bets on the game - log-in to your account for real-time odds on your PC or mobile.

Chief Minister of the Isle of Man Allan Bell MHK and UK Treasury Exchequer Secretary David Gauke MP signed an intergovernmental agreement with Isle of Man to extend the automatic disclosure of tax information. The agreement is based on the requirements of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA which was introduced by the United States to ensure the tax compliance of its citizens with international interests. The agreement will go into effect in 2016, when the two governments will begin exchanging additional information. The Isle of Man is a British dependency, officially ruled by the Queen of England. The Isle of Man currently shares information with the UK and other EU countries on personal savings income. The Isle of Man was the first non-EU country to publicly commit to the sharing of this information under the EU Savings Directive, back in June 2009. In December 2012, the Isle of Man was also the first to commit to the FATCA-esque agreement with the UK, which extended the scope of automatic disclosure to include companies and trusts. Chief Minister Bell commented on the agreement, "In signing this historic agreement with the United Kingdom we are underlining the message to our neighbours and the wider world that our Island is a responsible centre for top quality international business." Mr. Bell added that the agreement showed the "clear commitment of both countries to the development of a new global standard in automatic exchange."

William Hill Takes on Sweden Global online gambling giant William Hill will be launching a new betting website under Swedish jurisdiction. It will offer players the opportunity to play poker, bingo and other various casino games, as well as betting on the prominent Swedish football teams, Allsvenskan and Superettan. There will be a bonus for new players of 100% on their first deposits up to 1,000KR. The popularity of Swedish online gambling took off in 1997, when Sweden's two major lotteries, Tipstjanst and Svenska Penninglotteriet, joined together to form a single company. The new company was called AB Svenska Spel, and together with the horse racing company Trav och Galopp, has a monopoly over all gambling in Sweden today. This monopoly on gambling has elicited criticism from the EU, and rumors arise every so often that the Swedish government will dispel the monopoly and open it up to the domestic gambling market. Of course, this market would still be regulated by the government, as would the rules for foreign operators' licenses. The new legislation is said to take place in 2014.

Manchester United's meeting with Southampton today at Old Trafford could be deciding for the Red Devils. It seems that United is having adaptation issues in the post-Fergie era, and honestly nobody can blame them. United is currently sitting at the ninth place in the Premier League's table, with six points separating between table leaders Arsenal and Liverpool. Manchester's manager David Moyes still has long until he'll start to fit the huge shoes Alex Ferguson left behind, but meanwhile he has to make some difficult decisions. While his team did go back to shape with a 2-1 over Sunderland prior to the World Cup 2014 break, that victory is written on the name of Adnan Januzaj who performed a single-man job scoring two goals after Sunderland were leading 1-0. United will try very hard to take three points from today's meeting, as it would be critical for them not to. Southampton are certainly not going to give out three points easily to their hosts. Currently situated in the fourth position with 14 points, the team has conceded only two goals in their seven games this season so far. They are on a three game winning streak in the league against Liverpool, Crystal Palace and Swansea, having kept a clean sheet in all games. In Match Result, Winner Sports is offering 4/7 for Manchester United, 5/1 for Southampton and 3/1 for a draw. Over 95 betting markets are available, including correct score, draw no bet, total goals, double chance and goal scorers.
