The US Open begins the first round of action today and the stars are set on making this a tournament to remember. Today's matches will feature six of the top ten seeds on the ATP, including last year's winner, Marin Cilic, Rafael Nadal and the number 1 ranked player, Serbian Novak Djokovic. Favorites on the men's side also include last year's runner up Kei Nishikori, David Ferre and Milos Raonic. Head to Head All eyes will be on Djokovic's match against Brazilian Joao Souza, with hopes that the world number one will get back to his winning ways and show the world why he is the best on the tour. His opponent has never won a grand slam match, and odds are stacked against him, with famed UK Sportsbook bet365 posting 67.00 for the Brazilian qualifier to win, while Djokovic is at 1.001. Fan favorite, Rafael Nadal missed last year's US Open with a bad wrist injury, and it has been some time since we have seen the Spaniard winning a grand slam. Tonight at 00:00, he will take on the youngest player in the Top 50 ATP Rankings, 18-year old Borna Coric. Nadal was moved out of his top three ranking in 2013, and is hopeful he will be back on center stage after the first few rounds of the Open. Nadal is favored to win at 1.16, while Coric is in the underdog position at 5.00. Kei Nishikori faces off against Benoit Paire and has defeated the Frenchman twice before. Paire won his first ever ATP World Tour title in Bastad last month, but faces the number 4 ranked player in the world and bet365 Sports thinks Kei is too much for Paire. Nishikori – 1.083, Paire – 8.00. The last match on Armstrong tonight features reigning champion Marin Cilic going up against Guido Pella, the qualifier from Argentina. If we see the same fire that led Cilic to his first US Open title last year, all players will have a lot on their plates. It should be an easy win for Cilic at 1.083 to Pella's 8.00. Live in-Play and Pre-match ATP Betting Don't miss out on tomorrow's round one action with stars like Federer, Andy Murray and Berdych taking stage. There are a ton of betting markets available, including live in-play bets at bet365 Sports.

Genii has struck a deal with Altenar to expand their offerings across Altenar's fully managed gaming solution.

If you watched the top half on the men’s side of the US Open yesterday, you would have seen the stars shining and a major upset. Djokovic, Nadal and Cilic all won their first matches handily, but unfortunately for Nishikori, he was knocked out by Benoit Paire losing 6-4, 3-6, 4-6, 7-6, 6-4.

Match times are for GMT. 17:30 – Tomas Berdych vs Bjorn Fratangelo Berdych is ranked number 6 in the world and at 6’5’’ he is a giant on the court and very hard to beat. His opponent, the 22 year old American Bjorn Fratangelo is ranked at 113 on the ATP and shouldn’t pose too much of a threat against the big Czech. This match should end after Berdych wins in straight sets and UK sportsbook bet365 thinks so too, with Berdych the favorite at 1.040 and Fratangelo at 13.00. 19:30 – Leonardo Mayer vs Roger Federer The man, the legend, the tennis God. Roger Federer is a five-time US Open winner going on a stretch of championship wins from 2004-2008. This summer has been much better for Federer, making the finals at the last three majors he played in. Federer is now ranked number 2 in the world and is set on making a comeback to show he is still capable of winning major events. Leonardo Mayer will be the first to taste defeat at the hands of Federer and will most-likely go down in straight sets. Federer is the favorite at 1.015, while Mayer needs a prayer at 21.00. 22:00 – Stan Wawrinka vs Albert Ramos-Vinolas The Swiss have excellent presence at the US Open with two of the best players in the world in Wawrinka and Federer, each able to win on any given day. Stan Wawrinka, ranked fifth in the world should be able to handle Ramos-Vinolas with ease and take the first round match. Wawrinka – 1.040 Ramos Vinolas – 13.00 00:00 - Nick Kyrgios vs Andy Murray Murray the UK superstar and number three in the world got the hardest draw of any other top ten player and needs to play Australian Nick Kyrgios the 37th ranked player on the ATP.

Betfair customers are about to see a whole new level of engagement. Multi-Channel Support The new deal which Realistic Games has struck with UK's Betfair to provide multi-channel gaming content to Betfair looks to increase interactivity and entertainment for all Betfair players, similar to the results which Realistic has provided in supporting it their other clients. The terms call for Gibraltar-based Realistic to initially supply eight games for Betfair's ‘Arcade’ service. The games in this introductory array include roulette, blackjack and the Realistic's key technology, the ‘Super Graphics Upside Down’ slot. This means that Betfair customers can play innovative offerings originating from Realistic including titles such as The Great Pyramid and Chasing Rainbows. Trending Up Realistic commercial director Andy Harris was glad to provide new offerings to Betfair's customer base, calling the Betfair online provider “one of the biggest players in the industry,” characterizing Realistic's new client as in the midst of an “impressive upward trend.” He also pointed out matching characteristics between the two brands, saying that Betfair like his own Realistic is known for their innovative approach and desire to push the envelope of customer engagement. Effective partnerships are certainly a key to maintaining competitiveness in the rapidly proliferating world of mergers and acquisitions which is currently driving growth in the iGaming industry. Realistic's “Full House” UK customers are no strangers to Realistic games, as Realistic has already partnered with bet365, BetVictor, Ladbrokes, Paddy Power, William Hill, Gala Coral, Boylesports and Stan James to provide games via those online gambling sites. In many ways, this move was necessary just to keep up with the competition. This is undoubtedly why Harris concluded by saying that the deal completed a “full house” of the UK’s leading operators for the supplier. The full house approach demonstrates how vertical partnerships in the industry need to be spread among all competitors for technology providers and platform supporters to benefit from open markets for online gambling such as the UK.

Gladiator is one of the smash hit slots from the Playtech games developer. Based on the multi-award winning Russell Crowe movie from 2000, Gladiator Jackpot has just paid out a $713,427 win, the 10th huge payout since it was introduced. The exact details of who won, and where haven't been revealed, but several popular sites like Winner Casino, 7Regal Casino and Eurogrand Casino all carry the game. Gladiator carries a prize that frequently exceeds $1,000,000 and on 14th October 2013, paid out nearly $3,000,000, followed just a month later by a $750,000 win. About Gladiator Jackpot Gladiator was the biggest box-office success of 2000, and tells the dramatic tale of Roman General Maximus, who seeks vengeance against new Emperor Commodus for the murder of his family. Images and clips from the film adorn the reels of this game, making it appeal to fans of the movie as well as anyone who likes their games to be packed with bonus features. As well as the progressive jackpot, there is a Coliseum Free Spins game that is triggered by three or more Scatter symbols. Before the spins begin, players get to pick stones from each layer of a wall, with the number of spins, multipliers, plus extra Scatters and Wilds being added to the reels throughout. Any win except the jackpot can be doubled several times over by entering the optional Gamble round, where players need to guess if a playing card will be red or black, with a correct guess giving them the option to Gamble again, but a wrong one losing the last prize. The jackpot round is triggered by the Gladiator Helmet symbol, and players try to unveil Bronze, Silver or Gold Helmets, with nine Gold ones resulting in the jackpot payout. It's paid out immediately, and players can choose to have their win made public, or as would seem to be the case with this latest jackpot, they can opt to avoid any publicity.

The best player in the world, Serena Williams is still very much in this tournament and the way she is playing it looks like another title in NYC is in her reach.

Simona Halep is the world number two and she is on fire after her big first round win against Marina Erakovic, forcing the New Zealand hopeful out after the second game of the second set, too tired to continue.

Petra Kvitova faces Nicole Gibbs, whom ousted Lourdes Dominquez Lino in the first round after a tough three sets, but Gibbs will need to up her game against the world number four.

This is a special NFL season, which will be capped off with the 50th edition of the Super Bowl. This year’s championship will be the most-watched game in Super Bowl history, it will have the most expensive TV commercial spots at $5 million for 30 seconds, and it will most definitely feature two teams playing for the prestige of winning the NFL’s biggest game. We are still in the preseason, with the regular season beginning on September 10. This is the prime time for punters to make an outright bet on the team(s) they think will win the Super Bowl this year. The odds are huge at this early point, because it is a long shot for any team to win the game, but this makes way for the potential of a massive mayday. Top Rated Teams and Odds Comparison: bet365, Winner Sports and William Hill Seattle Seahawks The Seahawks have been to the Super Bowl twice in the last two years, destroyed the Broncos to win in 2013, and lost to Tom “Deflate Gate” Brady and the Patriots on a last minute play last year. The team is much the same, but they have a new secret weapon in Tight End Jimmy Graham, acquired in March. All three Sportsbooks agree on 5.00 for a Seahawks Super Bowl win. Green Bay Packers The pack is back and ready to win yet another Super Bowl title. Aaron Rodgers, arguably the best Quarter Back in the NFL is determined to improve on his stats from last year: 38 TD’s and 5 Interceptions, and lead the Pack to the Super Bowl. If things go their way, the Packers will be a serious threat for the championship. Again, the bookies agree at 7.00 for an outright win. New England Patriots With so much in the media right now about Pats’ golden boy, Tom Brady and the “Deflate Gate” story, people have forgotten that they could easily win their second Super Bowl in a row, and their fifth championship in ten years. Depending greatly on whether or not Brady is suspended, (looks doubtful according to the judge) the Patriots have their strongest team yet and they could be the best bet for the SB. Bet365 – 10.00, William Hill – 9.00, Winner Sports – 8.50. Indianapolis Colts When Andrew Luck is on it is like, “who’s this Peyton Manning guy?” True, he is not even close to the former Colts super star, but he is on track to becoming one of the best offensive players in the AFC South. With an injury to Texans RB Arian Foster, the Colts should go 6-0 in their division and make the post season with ease. Bet365 – 10.00, William Hill – 11.00, Winner Sports – 10.00. Denver Broncos It might be the last hurray for Peyton Manning at the helm of any NFL team and he obviously wants yet another ring to add to his collection. Last year was another incredible season for the MVP QB, but they are relying on a number of young players and if Manning gets hurt, who is Brock Osweiler? Bet365 13.00, William Hill – 15.00, Winner Sports – 12.00. The Cowboys, Cardinals and Ravens are all also Super Bowl hopefuls and feature odds as big as 26.00 (Will Hill for Ravens) for an outright win. It could be a long shot but with Adrian Peterson back for the Vikings, and odds at 41.00 (bet365), 51.00 (Will Hill and Winner), shouldn’t you put the money down for Minnesota?
