The drafts have been picked, some players have been cut and pre-season training for the sixteen NFL teams is well under way. The 2013/14 season ended with a win for the Seattle Seahawks, playing the kind of smash-mouth football in the Superbowl that literally blew the Denver Broncos away. What chances are there for a repeat performance? Seattle Still On Top Some of the biggest sports books take a look at the upcoming season and offer odds. According to Winner Sports, three of the favorites for the Vince Lombardi trophy in February 2015 are in ascending order; Seattle Seahawks at 6.50, Denver Broncos at 7.00 and the San Francisco 49ers at 8.00. According to William Hill Sports, those same three teams are the most likely winners of the Superbowl, with the Seahawks at 6/1 and the Broncos and 49ers tied at 7/1. San Francisco has had its best run of form in the last 3 seasons since the golden days of the Montana-Rice axis and were one win away in 2013 from a shot at completing back-to-back Superbowls. They are considered to have one of the strongest rosters in football, so who else is in contention and how do you define the odds? Formula for Prediction The most basic formula is to review the win-loss record of teams from the 2013 season and make a prediction based on that and on the relative strengths of their 2014 rosters. That does not, however, take into account that some Conferences have easier games than others. It is generally thought that the AFC South teams have a less taxing schedule, closely followed by the AFC North. The toughest games are those fought out in the AFC West and NFC West. If we take into account a strength of schedule numbers, i.e., who is slated to have the hardest games, shows that Oakland, Arizona, Carolina and Minnesota face the four toughest slates. New England and Washington are two teams who might not have attracted so much attention, but they are scheduled to have slightly easier than average slates. The trick as always is to really do your homework and hope that you don't give up a big fumble when it comes to betting on the NFL season. And, if you're in the market for betting, use a trusted site like Winner Sports and William Hill Sports.
Just before the 2014/15 regular season kicks off, the Holland Cup must be played. Renamed the Johan Cruyff Shield in 1996, this is the first trophy of the year and you'd better believe both teams want to bring home the hardware. Before PEC Zwolle is counted out it'd be wise to remember that this is actually a rematch of the 2014 Dutch Cup played on 4/20 earlier this year in which Ajax lost 5-1 in a shocker. That game was a thriller on and off the pitch as the fans set off fireworks, and damaged the field to the point that both players and other fans pleaded with the hooligans to stop. The game was played in full following the half an hour delay and David definitely vested Goliath, giving PEC their fist trophy. Tonight is most-likely going to be a different story as Ajax is playing at home and they do not want to get embarrassed again. The teams are both healthy going into the match tonight but Ajax definitely has the advantage. Online Wagering Markets This game, more than any other today, could be the punter's chance to capitalize on the underdog. Let's say that PEC is able to shock Ajax yet again, bet365, the UK online sportsbook, is offering odds of 10.00 as opposed to Ajax's 1.25. A draw is even attractive at 6.00 but it doesn't stop there. Punter's can bet on Correct Score, Over/Under, Chance and Double Chance, Winning Margin and much more. There is a ton of special markets available as bet365 Sports is really covering every possible line one would want to bet for tonight. It's going to be an action packed match, on and off the field and is meant to set the regular season off in style so be sure not to miss out on one minute of the action.

Platinum Play Casino, 7Sultans Casino and Royal Vegas Casino offer terrific international slots and blackjack leagues for players all over the world.

Once the tournament begins, a Leaderboard will detail where each competitor is ranked, while a personal 'Win Box' informs each player how much they have earned so far. Note that in casino tournaments, only points are earned, not real money, with the actual cash being awarded to the top-ranked players at the end of the games. Joining an International Slots League is made easy, with players only needing to log into their casino accounts, pick one they wish to join, and choosing an alias to play as. Types of Tournament There are scheduled tournaments which begin at set times, Sit n' Goes, which start as soon as enough players have registered, Extender tournaments where competitors can re-buy entries to improve their scores, and One-Shots, which are short, single round games with one player winning the whole prize pool. There are also Reloaders, where players can re-enter, but to make it an even field, they cannot boost their scores in the same round, and finally, there are multi-round Survivor tournaments, where players with the lowest scores are eliminated at each stage until a winner is found. International Blackjack League Blackjack fans are well catered for with their own International League. There are daily scheduled rounds, Sit n' Go games, freerolls and elimination tournaments, with rules for entry similar to the slots games. For players who enjoy competing against others and are looking for slots and blackjack tournaments, the international leagues at Royal Vegas Casino, 7Sultans Casino and Platinum Play Casino are a great way to go.

Senators Urge Department of Justice to Ban Online Gambling Three US senators addressed a letter to the US Department of Justice asking them to support a bill that would ban federal online gambling. The letter stated, “We must act before we find virtual casinos making gambling pervasive in our society, invading living rooms, bedrooms, and dorm rooms across the country; a result we know the DOJ does not want to see.” The letter was sent by Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) and Dianne Feinstein (D-CA). As of yet there has been no response from the Department of Justice. Borgata Reports Losses Borgata, one of the Atlantic City land-based casinos that launched an online enterprise in New Jersey, reported an operating loss of $1.8 million in the quarter which ended on June 30. On the bright side, they also reported reaching a "key milestone" by breaking even in July. Keith Smith, chief executive of Borgata's managing owner Boyd Gaming Inc., commented that he expects the recent decrease in online gambling revenue in New Jersey to end when cooler weather returns. Amaya Completes Acquisition of PokerStars; Sights Set on New Jersey On August 1, Amaya Gaming announced the completion of its acquisition of the Rational Group, the parent company of PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker. The acquisition was originally predicted to take place at the end of September; its early completion indicates that PokerStars has re-focused its sights on New Jersey and has high hopes for being re-accepted by the state's Division of Gaming Enforcement. Re-acceptance would mean that ability to launch an online gaming site in New Jersey.

It means that more than likely the top poker company in the world will soon be offering its games there.”
