The fourth round proper of the FA Cup kicks off today at Abbey Stadium in Cambridge as home team Cambridge United host Manchester United (19:55 UK time). The last time these teams met was in September-October 1991 Manchester emerged victorious with 4-1 in aggregate. Today's game is attracting loads of media attention with the big question looming: will we see a giant killing? Cambridge United – Dangerous Underdog Cambridge United were promoted to League Two last season and they have been doing quite well ever since. Currently ranked twelfth in the table, they have 35 points composed of 10 wins, 5 draws and 10 losses. The team's last two games has seen it beating Carlisle 1-0 away from home and thrashing Newport 4-0 at home just last Saturday. The fact remains that Cambridge United is the lowest-ranked team currently left in the competition. This is what makes them perhaps even more dangerous – they will look for a fantastic shocker against Manchester United which has known such games in the past. Manchester United Pressured Manchester United began the season left footed with all the high hopes for new manager Louis van Gaal after the tough season with David Moyes. But the Dutchman has managed to navigate through the rough seas and brought the Red Devils to the Premier League's top five. United is currently ranked at the fourth position with 40 points (11w, 7d, 4l), twelve points away from leader Chelsea. The 4-0 thrashing United suffered by the legs of League One MK Dons in August will be on the minds of the visitors tonight as they will be pressured not to let slip such a situation again. Live Betting Online bookie Winner Sports will have full coverage of the game. In full time results, Winner had 12/1 on Cambridge and 1/5 on Manchester with 11/2 for a draw. Log-in Winner today for a full range of pre-match and in-play bets to wager as the game unfolds in real time.
2015 has been a pretty good year for WinADay Casino player, Allison P, and it is just the beginning! This January, Allison won $205,200 playing WinADay’s popular Chinatown slot game, and she plans to use her winnings to buy her mother a new car and to travel to the 2016 Olympics in Rio. Much of the Chinatown slot's popularity is due to its frequent payouts, but Allison P’s jackpot stands out as one of the larger wins. Allison commented, “I love Chinatown but there’s so many other fun games that I enjoy. I played the new Castle Siege most over the holidays.” Allison has been playing at WinADay since 2012, and she offers the following advice to fellow WinADay players: “Switch games if you feel unlucky on a particular game. Find one that suits your current mood and luck. If you still don't feel lucky, take a break and play another day.” WinADay’s Jackpots Most of WinADay’s instant play casino games are tied to one progressive jackpot, which is quite unique in the online casino world. It also means that the jackpot gets hit quite often. Because players kept winning, the jackpot did not get much higher than $150,000 (still nothing to sneeze at!), and has only made it over $200,000 three times. The highest Chinatown win was that of Vera M., who won a record-breaking $255,462. Michael Hilary, WinADay Casino's manager, commented, “We’ve seen a definite trend. There are more and more people playing, so the jackpots are getting bigger and bigger.” About WinADay WinADay Casino is a unique online casino that offers free and real-money slot machines and card games. It also offers generous deposit bonuses, game-of-the-month bonuses and daily random draws bonuses. WinADay players can interact with each other on the site and receive special bonuses through Facebook.
There are many national and international lottery draws around globe, some of which are very well known, like the U.S. Powerball draw, or EuroMillions, and others less well known like the Hungarian Otoslotto. With an estimated jackpot of £5.1million in the next draw, the Otoslotto is perhaps worth looking into, and now that anyone can enter via online lottery ticket buying agents the next big prize could be heading just about anywhere. Hungarian Otoslotto This is one of the oldest continuous lotteries, having started in 1957, although lotteries have been run in the country since around 1763. Proceeds from the Otoslotto go mainly to charitable causes throughout the country, so buying an online lottery ticket can be seen as an indirect way of contributing to the well being of Hungary. The game takes a simple format, with players needing to pick 5 numbers from a grid of 90 and entry costing around £1.35 or currency equivalent for a single pick. On Saturday, 24th January, the next draw takes place with a prize of an amazing-sounding 2.1billion Forints. That still translates into an impressive £5.1 million however, and even if the main prize isn't claimed, there are secondary prizes for picking 3 or 4 correct numbers. Now, like many of the biggest draws, people from around the world can buy online lottery tickets for this weekly event simply by registering with a ticket agency like The Lotter or Lottery Master. How to Buy Online Lottery Tickets Purchasing tickets through one of these agencies is very simple, with easy to use cards that allow players to select numbers either one at a time, or automatically, even saving their favourites to use each week. The Lotter and Lottery Master both cover numerous draws, and should one of their users win a prize from an online lottery ticket it will be transferred directly to them, or they can collect bigger wins in person.
SafeCharge is a payment services provider that has been operating since founding in 2007. Now accepted by casino sites such as Ladbrokes, SafeCharge is increasing its presence in the global online gambling industry. And all signs appear positive for the SafeCharge, with the company providing a recent update on its trading performance for the fourth quarter of 2014. Although the complete set of trading results will not be released until March 2015, SafeCharge was able to reveal an estimate of $24.5 million for last year’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA). In sharing that estimate, SafeCharge was quick to point out that the EBITDA would be at least $24.5 million for 2014. Driving Factors Behind Performance In considering the 2014 performance of SafeCharge, there were a number of strategic actions that helped to improve the fortunes of the company. For starters, SafeCharge completed the strategic acquisitions of 3V Transaction Services and CreditGuard, both of which were completed in January 2014. More impressive, however, was the completion of a deal that resulted in SafeCharge being approved for issuing activity by MasterCard Europe. As one of the two leading credit card institutions in the world, MasterCard is a huge strategic partner that can lend benefits to any business. Growth Ahead for 2015 In commenting on the release of the results, SafeCharge stated that Q4’s “momentum has continued into January and the directors look forward with confidence for the 2015 financial year”. The company’s international presence and listing on the London Stock Exchange highlight its potential for further growth in 2015. As 2015 continues, it will be fascinating to monitor whether or not SafeCharge commits to increasing its volume of gambling operators. Ladbrokes Casino is obviously an impressive size of operator, but more will definitely be required before SafeCharge can even begin to approach the scale of other providers like PayPal and Neteller.
Cheltenham's horse racecourse is the place to be today as the BetBright Cup Chase shoots off 13:50 UK time. This Grade Two chase is run over three miles and a furlong with 21 fences to jump and a winning purse worth £100,000. There are eight horses fighting for the first place today and the competition's going to be very tight. Second Win for The Giant Bolster? Last year's winner, the David Bridgwater-trained The Giant Bolster will look to secure a second win in a row. The 10-year old Giant came in fifth at Haydock Park's Betfair Chase back in November, and Bridgwater says that the horse is prepared for the chase. However bookies are not rating him the highest in terms of odds: in bet365 Sports he is 8/1 to win. Favorite Horses and Odds The Giant Bolster will have very tough competition today, looking at the antepost odds offered by bet365. Dynaste is 9/4 to win: last year he won the Grade One Rayanair Chase and finished runners-up on Boxing Day at the King George VI chase at Kempton Park. In 2014 chases alone, Dynasty hasn't finished anywhere above third place – what makes him a very good bet. Next to Dynaste we have Many Clouds who is 11/4 to win. Many Clouds is riding on the success of finishing first in November's Hennessy Gold Cup. Prior to the Hennessy win, Many Clouds finished first in the Colin Parker Memorial Intermediate Chase. Two other strong competitors to look for are Smad Place with 4/1 and Holywell with 11/2. Watch and Bet Live Today's chase will be broadcast live on Channel 4 at bet365 Sports.
