The gripping conference semifinals in the NBA Playoffs return today. It begins 00:00 GMT in the east with game 6 between the Washington Wizards and Atlanta Hawks, in the series that is currently 3-2 in favor of the Hawks. At 02:30 GMT the action shifts to the west as the Golden State Warriors meet Memphis Grizzlies in their 3-2 tied series. Will Hawks Go Through? After Wednesday night's thriller in Atlanta that ended 81-82 in favor of the Hawks with some intense nerve-racking drama that only the NBA is able to produce. Will Hawks maintain the ultimatum today and make it to the conference finals, or will the Wizards pull a bunny out of their hat? Thrilling as it may be, Wednesday night's game wasn't all too impressive statistics-wise, but it has shown how closely matched these teams are in terms of ability and performance as the score shows; this could easily go to game 7. Warriors vs. Grizzlies Wednesday night's game 5 saw the Golden State Warriors beating the Grizzlies at Oakland by a difference of 20 points with 98-78. With a 3-2 lead for the Warriors, the deal can be wrapped up tonight at Memphis. Grizzlies may find it hard to go against the Warriors' momentum after returning from being down 2-1 in the series, but the home setting might make it a tad more comfortable for a tough fight not to end it all today. At this point it's hard to see Grizzlies returning from the deficit and winning two games in a row, but the NBA has taught us that anything can happen. Live Betting The NBA playoffs are a huge online gambling event with millions of punters wagering all over the world. Both games will be live at bookie Winner Sports tonight with pre-match bets and in-play markets as the action takes place. Get some coffee in place or stock up on energy drinks, log-in Winner and spice up your experience for this exciting NBA night.

Gameweek 37 of the English Premier League starts today with an intriguing meeting between Southampton and Aston Villa (kickoff 12:45 UK time). With the title chase over and done with after Manchester City lost the race to top-rated Chelsea, now is the time for second and third bests, and in this game's case – a battle of points on who gets to go to the Europa League next season. Southampton's Do-or-die Currently positioned seventh in the table with 57 points composed of 17 wins, 7 draws and 12 losses, Southampton is only one point away from Tottenham and five from Liverpool. The team is without a win for four matches (having lost three). With that in mind, Ronald Koeman's side simply cannot miss their chance of gaining three points today – it's do-or-die. Big Times for Aston Villa Aston Villa has shown good improvement since the arrival of new manager Tim Sherwood. They are positioned 14th in the table with 38 points (10w, 8d, 18l). Southampton has a good reason to be very wary of Villa's current form as they've managed to beat Tottenham, Everton and West Ham in their last four games; their 3-2 loss against Manchester City was lost by a shattering late-game goal. While Villa isn't near any spot for the Europa League, they do have a huge game in front of them next Saturday – the FA Cup final against Arsenal. This will be a good preparation and test, but being only 4 points away from the relegation zone, they don't want zero points out of today's meeting. Live Betting Today's match will be live at bet365 Sports with a wide range of pre-match and in-play betting markets that constantly update and shift as the game takes place. Full time results gave 3/4 to Southampton, 4/1 to Aston Villa and 13/5 for a draw. Punters can take advantage of bet365's Euro Soccer Bonus offer that can earn them up to 100% on their return for pre-match accumulators. In case the game ends a goalless draw, the Bore Draw Money Back offer will refund Half-Time/Full-Time and Scorecast bets.
The results of a recent survey conducted in Pennsylvania regarding the public’s opinion about online gambling seem to be bogus. The survey was commissioned by Sheldon Adelson, notorious online gambling opponent and founder of the Coalition to Stop Internet Gambling (CSIG), and it was conducted by Harper Rolling, a research house with well-known Republican leanings. The survey was commissioned by Adelson shortly after last month’s hearing of Rep. John Payne’s AB 649, a bill that would legalize online poker in the Keystone State. The bill was received quite positively, which is probably what sparked Adelson to action. The Survey Harper Rolling said that the survey included results from 513 registered voters in Pennsylvania, who were contacted via phone between April 22nd and April 27th, 2015. The company, did not, however, publish the full script used for the actual survey. They did, however, publish results, which stated, “A resounding 73% of voters in Pennsylvania oppose legalizing online gambling. Opposition increases to 75% among Republicans, 78% among women and self-identified Conservatives, and 81% among Independents.” Also published by Harper Rolling were some of the statements that were read to those being surveyed before being asked whether they are pro or anti-online gambling. These statements are so obviously leading, it's actually strange that they published them. "Legalizing online gambling in Pennsylvania will make it easy for children to be exposed to and participate in gambling, since it is nearly impossible to prevent minors from gambling online." "As the FBI told Congress last year, 'online casinos are vulnerable to a wide array of criminal schemes,' and 'may provide more opportunities for criminals to launder illicit proceeds with increased anonymity.'" John Payne commented on the survey results, “I don’t hold much credibility to the survey because of the way it was done. The entire poll is designed and orchestrated to give the answers they want.” About Adelson Shelson Adelson has been the most outspoken opponent to the legalization of online gambling in the United States, vowing to spend “whatever it takes” to stop it and founding the Coalition to Stop Internet Gambling in 2014. Ironically, Adelson made his own fortune as owner of Las Vegas Sands, and is currently under investigation for collaborating with Chinese organized crime in Macau.

The Hamburg-based business intelligence company yStats released its latest report on global online gambling trends, and the results show increasing industry growth and more regulations worldwide. The report also found that players are using their mobile devices more than ever to access gambling sites. Breakdown by Region The report, entitled “Global Online Gambling and Betting Market 2015,” shows that Europe is the largest online gambling market, not only due to the amount of people but due also to the fact that governments have been regulating it for a long time (unlike the United States!). yStats predicts that the numbers of online gamblers will only increase, as countries such as Holland and Portugal are hopping on the bandwagon as well. In the United Kingdom, France and Spain, sports betting is the most popular of all online gambling offerings, while in Italy, casino games are the most popular. In Russia, online gambling is officially illegal, but both illegal operators and legal advocates are trying to change that. In the Asia-Pacific region, governments are much stricter about onlinie gambling. For example, in Singapore, all forms of remote gambling are forbidden, and in China and South Korea, police recently arrested a number of illegal gambling operators. In the United States, the federal government has not passed any online gambling regulations, though three individual states did. Of these three states, Nevada, Delaware and New Jersey, New Jersey has generated the largest revenues in 2014. It is expected that more states will pass their own regulations, and there is a raging debate at the federal level about whether to outlaw the industry entirely. On the other hand, in Brazil and Mexico, new bills were introduced to the legislature to regulate online gambling, but the legislation has not yet been approved. In Africa, the South African government has no plans to legalize online gambling, though there have been a few public calls to do so.

The debate over online gambling is in full-swing in Indiana, with Governor Mike Pence recently allowing two gaming bill to pass into law, while vetoing a third bill. The first two bills were passed into law without Governor Pence’s signature: HEA 1540, which will allow riverboat casinos to move their gaming to land, and SEA 252, which will allow the Indiana Horse Racing Commission to use breed development funds to promote the horse racing industry. Commenting on the new laws, Pence said, “Most Hoosiers know that I oppose an expansion of gaming in Indiana, but I recognize that gaming has become an important part of the economy of many communities in our state and is an important part of our state budget.” He continued, “From early in the legislative process, I made it clear that I would not stand in the way of reforms that would allow these businesses to remain competitive with surrounding states so long as it did not constitute an expansion of gaming in Indiana. HEA 1540 and SEA 252 meet this standard and, as such, I will permit them to become law without signature.” The One That Got Away The bill that Pence vetoed, HEA 1270 , would have allowed Indiana residents to place bets on horse races outside of the four existing off-track betting parlors and two parimutuel horse tracks. Pence said that this bill is totally against his stance on online gaming. President and COO of Centaur Gaming and General Manager of Indiana Grand Racing & Casino Jim Brown commented on the governor’s veto, “We are disappointed in the short term for our host communities. They would have benefited from the jobs created. We didn’t feel replacing an electronic dealer with a live dealer was expansion, but others did.” But Brown hasn’t given up yet; he is already planning ahead for his company’s petition to the Indiana Gaming Commission in 2021.
