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.

An entire overhaul has recently been completed across all of bet365’s mobile channels. The focus here, though, will be on the casino and games channels. Both can now promise to deliver a streamlined user experience that will give players more time to focus on their favourite games. The mobile overhaul has already been completed and all you need to do is visit bet365’s main site to access both. The New Mobile Casino bet365 Casino has trimmed back its promotional offerings on the mobile channel. Players now have a single banner in which to see only the most popular promotions as well as recommendations for games and quick-links to downloadable apps for bet365’s other online gambling channels. What you will next notice is how much simpler it is to find games. On smartphones, you get to use the Featured tab or the Table & Card tab to browse games. Being able to immediately see bet365’s best mobile slots and table games is a breath of fresh air. This will enable you to almost instantly browse through and play titles like the Avengers, Battle of the Gods, and Jackpot Giant – all without the need to download an app. Equally impressive is how easy it is to browse the table- and card-based games. With the tap of a finger, you will be able to start playing roulette, blackjack, baccarat, blackjack switch, or casino hold’em. Each game is optimised to appear crisp and clear on contemporary Android and Apple devices. bet365 Games Upgraded Comparatively, bet365 Games has been even more stripped back than the casino channel. And, honestly, this is all for the benefit of the player. Rather than being overwhelmed by promotional messages, you simply get to browse games. Again, bet365 does not overwhelm you with the gaming choices, which can be all too common across many mobile casinos. In browsing bet365 Games, you get to view the gaming options by the tabs Featured and Premium Slots. As well as showcasing the most popular mobile slots, the Featured tab is also where to find blackjack and roulette. You can then delve within the Premium Slots tab to find some hidden gems like Energoonz, Thunderstruck 2, Colour of Money, and Foxin’ Wins Again. bet365 Removes Demo Access At a time when mobile casinos are competing with free apps, bet365 has strategically chosen to remove demo access to free games. Players now have to sign into their accounts if they wish to play the games. Previously, the presence of demo options did clutter the screen, but there is another potential benefit in that players get to focus on games and will avoid the disappointment of winning free credit. Not only are many of the free-to-play apps on the market poorly designed compared to the likes of bet365 Casino, but also they call for players to make in-app purchases. Compared to bet365, there is no prospect of winning real money from free apps. This can be extremely frustrating, so it could be a smart decision for bet365 to make this differentiation between the two experiences following this mobile overhaul.
What a wild week of Baseball it has been so far, and with only one divisional series game remaining, tonight we will find out which team will face the Chicago Cubs in the National League Championship Series. The American League Championship is set, as the Blue Jays, led by a three-run home run by Bautista propelled them to a 6-3 win over the Rangers. On the other side, the Kansas City Royals smashed the Houston Astros 7-2, leaving no team left in Texas in the offseason. A day earlier, the Chicago Cubs shocked the world as they defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 6-4 and await the winner of tonight's game. The Dodgers have had an excellent season and would love to cap things off with a win tonight. Los Angeles will be putting MLB ERA leader, Zack Greinke on the mound, while the Mets are rolling with Jacob deGrom. The Mets' star pitcher tied a franchise strike out record in Game 1 of this best-of-five series with 13, and would like a similar performance tonight, but he knows just how important the game really is, "I think going into tomorrow," he said Wednesday regarding Game 5, "it's probably the biggest game I've ever pitched." The Mets had a chance to close the series out in Game 4, but couldn't close at home falling 3-1. New York has never been in a Game 5 Divisional Series situation before in the history of their club, and it hasn't been since 1981, when the Dodgers won the final game at home. Game 5 Betting Odds According to famed UK sportsbook bet365, the Dodgers have a good lead in the odds at 1.66, while the Mets trail at 2.30. Not the biggest margin for profit but lucky enough for punters, there is an additional 87 individual betting markets to choose from to maximize profits. Bet365 is also offering live in play bets throughout the game, as well as Live Streaming for the game for a truly interactive gambling experience.
Arriving two weeks before Halloween is a hair-raising new Play’n GO slot that will go perfectly with a delicious candy apple while the clock ticks ever closer to All Hallows’ Eve. Simply named Happy Halloween, this is a video slot featuring intricately designed characters and spooky imagery. Play’n GO has strived to create new video slot worthy of channelling the Halloween theme. From 15 October, players at Play’n GO casinos can load Happy Halloween and settle in for some light-hearted fun. To play the slot game, players can activate up to 50 paylines on only one spin. The reason that playing with so many paylines is possible is because Play’n GO had integrated an interface in which there are five reels and four rows, as opposed to there only being three rows. The five extra symbols make it possible for many more outcomes to occur. Survive the Witch and Win Special features play vital roles within the slot. For example, the Jack-o’-lantern serves the function of a wild symbol. Quite simply, this means that it can substitute for any symbols except for the witch scatter symbol. This dastardly lady will release a multiplier and free spins if three or more appear simultaneously on reels one, two, or three. Play’n GO has set the maximum possible jackpot at 1,000,000 coins. In addition to unlocking free spins and multipliers, there is also a gamble feature to add yet more opportunities to win. There is the potential to win in five consecutive rounds when using the gamble features, which works out as up to 2,500 coins. To recap, Play’n GO’s Happy Halloween slot will be rising at select casino sites from 15 October 2015. You will be able to find it at popular sites like Casino Cruise, Dhoze Casino, and Tivoli Casino, each of which is home to Play’n GO slots.
William Hill have recently signed a four year deal with Betdigital that will see their existing partnership extended, with both games and services being supplied.

They will be supplying their newest titles such as Mega Pots Bar - X Gold and Giant Gems, while the System X and GRID game engine will also be provided.

Commenting on the arrangement, the Chief Executive of Betdigital, Heath Samples said ''Since we began working with William Hill, both companies have seen some fantastic gains in the retail and online sectors offering true Omni-channel games.'' He added that ''..we are in a good place to continue developing our own content and bespoke content that is truly world class.''

Major computer games now have superior earning potential to movies, given how releases for games, such as Grand Theft Auto, can potentially earn $1 billion in just a couple of days. Given the rising popularity of computer games, US TV networks like ESPN have already begun covering eSports, which can also be described as competitive video games. And the latest brand to enter the eSports fold is gambling operator Betway. Betway has struck an exciting new partnership to start covering the ESL UK Premiership, an eSports organisation that hosts special tournaments for games like Counter-Strike: GO and League of Legends. From now on, registered users of Betway will have the ability to bet on a wide range of markets associated with the ESL UK Premiership’s latest eSports tournaments. Ahead of the Game Compared to other online gambling operators, Betway is riding the crest of the wave when it comes to eSports. This strategic addition follows in the steps of bet365 Sports and Winner Sports, both of which have offered eSports betting for some weeks now. Betway has quickly identified the potential of eSports and is making every effort to become a key presence in the market. Betway has already integrated eSports betting markets within its wider sports platform, allowing for users to place bets from October 2015 onwards. Great lengths have been made to ensure that Betway offers sweeping coverage. For example, Betway users will even be able to find in-play betting markets, a feature more commonly associated with football betting. ESL UK community manager Peter Mather spoke of how fans of eSports will have a “tried and trusted” betting platform in Betway. This announcement will likely appeal to fans, as competition is currently underway for ESL UK players to qualify for a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournament that has been scheduled to begin on Saturday 24 October.
Monaco and Lyon are nowhere near their objectives for 2016, as both teams are trailing the leaders by 10 points. Time is quickly running out and their inability to win games recently has resulted in a lengthy downswing that the two squads will try to end tonight. No Defensive Absentees for Monaco Monaco is unable to keep clean sheets and concedes goals both at home and on the road, including matches played against mediocre opponents. Their defensive was plagued by injuries, yet for this match Monaco is expected to have its backline intact. Some players will be missing in the midfield and the absence of the Portuguese duo Costa and Carvalho is going to hurt them offensively. The team had to settle for a single point in each of the last three games and on each occasion they came from behind. Scoring goals has been a problem for Monaco recently, but against Lyon their top priority is to bolster their defenses. Playing catch-up against the former champions is a risky thing to do and manager Jardim needs to exercise caution. Lyon Would Settle for One Point The visitors play without eight key players against Bordeaux and lost by a wide margin and were unable to rebound in time for the clash with Valencia. Their injury list still includes seven players and even though two of them are doubtful their return on the pitch won’t make much of a difference. Traveling to Monaco is difficult in its own right and with so many players missing, Lyon will gladly settle for one point if opportunity arises. They scored few goals recently and that’s why it is worth taking a chance with the under 2.5 market. Bet365 offers odds of 7/10 on this outcome, but they’re expected to drop as kickoff draws near, so punters should move quickly.
The Euro 2016 qualifiers have disrupted the flow of European football leagues, but the Premier League returns with an action-packed fixture. Liverpool and Tottenham are trying to return to the elite of English football after losing most of the games in the first five rounds. Both are on the right track and managed to avoid defeat recently, but their inability to keep clean sheets cost them dearly. A Mental Edge for Liverpool The visitors will be playing without five key footballers when they travel to London and by far the most important absentee is Benteke. He is their best striker and unless the physicians find a way to recuperate him in time, Liverpool will have few options up front. Even with him on the bench, they managed to score in each of the last seven games, with Sturridge and Ings rising to the occasion. The head to head record clearly favors Liverpool won the last five games against Tottenham, including a pair of 3-2 victories. They managed to win three times without allowing a single goal and scored a combined 12 goals in those fixtures. Under these circumstances, it is worth taking odds of 8/13 offered by bet365 Sports on the visitors to win or draw on the road. All Eyes on Harry Kane Tottenham was a force to be reckoned with last year despite the fact that it failed to secure a Champions League berth at the end of the season. Harry Kane was their inspirational striker and a big threat to his opponents but this year he only managed to score one goal in eight fixtures. The striker is under tremendous pressure to deliver after a great season, but he is clearly out of form and even scored an own goal last week. Tottenham doesn’t have too many alternatives upfront, so unless Kane returns to form suddenly, they will have a hard time scoring even once against Liverpool.
Online gambling is prohibited in the United States, but a couple of states have made significant steps to legalize this activity. The fantasy sports industry is growing at an accelerated pace, with many fans already placing lucrative bets on real money. The trend has gained momentum and a couple of states have already adhered to this innovative type of wagering, while others are yet to decide what to do next. Olympia to Hold a Hearing in December The senators are preparing for a hearing that could decide whether virtual sports will be legalized in the state of Washington. Fantasy sports are immensely popular from coast to coast and have plenty of fans on the other side of the Atlantic. Major bookmakers offer virtual sports that bear many similarities and even industry leaders such as bet365 Sports have jumped on the bandwagon. The odds are competitive and players who have a real money account enjoy the same potential return on investment as if they were betting on actual fixtures. Americans might need to wait a bit longer until online gambling will be legalized nationwide, but the hearing in Olympia could bring them one step closer. Lawmakers will discuss this matter a few weeks from now and Sen. Pam Roach is optimistic about the chances for a fantasy sports bill to pass. Season-Long Leagues Could Become legal Even the most optimistic promoters of the bill are aware of the fact that the odds of making daily fantasy sports sites legal will require time and patience. That’s why the immediate goal is to make the leagues legal and then built on this milestone and pass more ambitious legislation. At least in theory, poker players and those who gamble over the Internet are breaking the law and risk arrest, but the law is not enforced. There are states such as Massachusetts, California, Nevada, Michigan and Florida were daily fantasy sports are immensely popular and the industry could generate hundreds of millions of dollars.
