The 2-2 Pittsburgh Steelers travel to San Diego, California to take on the 2-2 Chargers tonight and both teams need a win to stay in second place of their respective division. The Steelers are behind the perfect 5-0 Bengals in the AFC North, while the Chargers are behind the 5-0 Broncos in the AFC West. The Chargers have a number of weapons to throw at the Steelers tonight and none as dangerous as WR Keenan Allen. Allen has caught 33 passes this year for a total of 387 yards and he seeks to improve his record with a solid game tonight. The Chargers come into tonight's game in second place in the league in pass offense, averaging 309 per game. Their rushing game has also been stellar with RB Melvin Gordon and veteran Danny Woodhead going 372 yards on 89 total carries over the first four games this year. The Steelers will need to try an shut the Chargers' rush down, something they have struggled to do all season, ranking 29th in the league against the rush. They have allowed themselves to be run over by top RB's like Adrian Peterson (126 yards) and Giovani Bernard (123 yards) in past games, but the defense is sure they can stop this trend tonight. One good sign for the Chargers is their pass defense, ranking second in the league, allowing only 225 yards per game. If the Chargers can stop the run, they will be able to put Michael Vick into dangerous third and long situations and make turnovers happen. Online Monday Night Football Live Betting Bet365 is the home for online NFL sports betting and the famed UK sportsbook is offering both pre-game and live in-play odds for tonight. The home town Chargers have the edge at 1.55, while the Steelers have some making up to do at 2.60. There are an unprecedented 223 individual betting markets to choose from and many more throughout the four quarters of MNF action through Live In-Play markets.
The U.S. Powerball is arguably the most popular lottery in the world, and it certainly features some of the biggest wins, with a starting jackpot of $40,000,000 that can sometimes roll over to ten times that level or more. However, from Sunday 4th October, for the draw on Wednesday, 7th October, the way the lottery works will be changing, to make it easier to win a prize, but less likely to win the jackpot. The reasoning behind this is that as jackpots roll over and get to $100 million or more, an increasing number of players buy tickets, but the operators want to attract more sales when the jackpot is at a lower level. New Format Under the new format, players will have to pick 5 white balls from 69, as opposed to the current 59, plus 1 red ball from 29, which is a change from the 35 red ones up until now. As any correct red ball wins a prize, the odds of having a winning ticket go from approximately 1 in 32 down to 1 in 25. But this also makes it more difficult to pick 5 correct white balls, with the chance of scooping the jackpot going from around 1 in 175,000,000 to 1 in 292,000,000. The optional PowerPlay, which multiplies wins by between 2x and 5x is also changing, with this extra $1 bet now equalling a prize of 10x the face value when the jackpot is $150,000,000 or less. Wider Appeal to Players Commenting on the changes, South Carolina Education Lottery Director Paula Harper Bethea said ''People say 'I don't play until it's $250 or $300 million.' And I always say to that , 'Well what could you not do with $40 million?''' She has also said ''The positives are many, and we feel the possibility of more overall winners will appeal to our players.'' Despite the changes, players from around the world are still able to purchase tickets for this and many other big draws via online lottery agents like Play USA Lotteries and TheLotter.

In-play betting represents the latest online gaming trend and William Hill has embraced its popularity with great coverage.

New casino games are released every month by the big software providers in the industry and this means more options for players to enjoy. Some of the biggest casinos pride themselves with a large collection of games from one or several developers but Fruity Casa Casino stands out with its list of titles from 13 different providers. This also means that the list grows very quickly since there are always new games being added from these brands. From NetEnt to 1x2 Gaming With an instant play platform based in Flash, Fruity Casa Casino sets out with the goal to cover a huge variety of gaming options, especially when it comes to slot machines. As a result of agreements with some of the biggest software providers in the business, the collection is quite impressive and includes titles from the likes Net Entertainment, 1x2 Gaming, Betsoft Gaming, Quickspin, NYX Interactive and several more. The different styles from Amaya, Leander and Ezugi can also be found at the online casino and users can filter the options based on their favorite provider. Slots are the biggest category at the casino and this is also where most of the new releases can be found. Fruity Casa lives up to its name in this regard since it doesn’t just have a theme based around fruity slots symbols but also has more than enough spinning reels for its customers; although the modern themes have long surpassed the old-school and somewhat simple icons of cherries, lemons, bananas and other fruits. Something for every player The rest of the providers at Fruity Casa are 2 By 2 Games, Aristocrat, ELK Studios, Multicommerce and Thunderkick. Each of them have something great to offer across the multiple categories of games and as a combination make the online casino one of the richest websites available, when it comes to games from different developers.

The Ukrainian Gaming Congress took place on September 29 and it covered several important aspects of the gambling industry in the country. This also marked the first big event for gambling since the activity was banned in Ukraine and one of the big topics was the unavoidable legalization of casinos and games of chance. Event organizer Smile-Expo welcomed business representatives, industry experts and state authorities to the congress to share their thoughts and vision on the future of gambling in Ukraine. Draft bills for legalizing gambling A total of 18 drafts are expected to be created by lawmakers and by the Ministry of Finance with the goal to legalize gambling and create an industry within the country for an additional source of revenue. Invited members Gennadiy Krivosheya and Viktor Romaniuk took the opportunity to present their draft of the bill for state regulation. With experience from Belarus, the bill aims to eliminate the criminal status sometimes associated with gambling and create transparent rules and regulations for the industry. Since gambling is already available but is not regulated, legalization throughout the country will help make it more reliable and taxable. One of the main issues discussed at the congress is that the bill proposes casinos to only be installed in hotels of four or five stars; the argument being that casinos should not be available to the lower-income families for proximity benefits. Existing gambling in Ukraine Gambling was banned in Ukraine in 2009 but according to the statements made by Yuriy Kozhema at the Ukrainian Gaming Congress, 70% of the industry has moved to the shadows and continues its activity. Legalization of gambling in Ukraine is supported by European experts and is also a condition for the Association Agreement with the EU. There are certainly some aspects which still need to be worked out but the conference showed a strong agreement for legalizing gambling business in the country.

Well this is it. Game 5 of the American League Divisional Series gets underway tonight beginning at 21:00 GMT between the Rangers vs Blue Jays and again at 1:00 between the Astros vs Royals. Only two of these teams will move on to the AL Championship Series and move one step closer to a spot in the World Series. Rangers @ Blue Jays This series has been as good as one could possibly hope for. The Rangers walked into Toronto and won the first two games away, which left the Jays needing to win two games on the road and that is exactly what they did. The comeback was everything that Jays fans could’ve hoped for, watching their sluggers Donaldson, Encarnacion and Tulowitzki take early leads in games 3 and 4 to send the series for the final tonight at Rogers Centre. The Blue Jays are throwing Marcus Stroman at the Rangers tonight, which may be a good thing for the Rangers, as they were able to beat him in game 2. Texas is going with Cole Hamels, whom also pitched in game 2. Hamels allowed four runs to be scored, struck out six and didn’t walk a single batter in seven innings. Lest we forget that game 2 went a total of 14 innings, which is not something either team wants to see happen again tonight. Astros @ Royals Who will it be? Kansas City or Houston? Tonight is the final game of their ALDS series and both teams have shown they have what it takes to get the win. This series has been just as exciting as the other AL series, but Royals fans are hoping their team can overcome the superb pitching from the Astros bullpen and get the win. Houston will put Colling McHugh back on the mound tonight with hopes that he can seal the deal. The Royals are going with Johnny Cueto, whom got the win in a tough Game 2 battle, retiring the last 12 of 14 hitters he faced. ALDS Betting This is the last chance for punters looking to get in on the betting props that bet365 is offering for the ALDS. In the first game of the night, the Jays are favorites to win at 1.50, but we cannot forget that the Rangers beat them in Toronto, which is why they are not too far behind at 2.70. In the second game, the Royals are at 1.74, while the Astros are at 2.15. Those odds won’t bring in the biggest profits, but when you mix that with the Live In Play and the other pre-game props available at bet365, markets are in favor of punters and there is lucrative cash to be won.
