Manchester City travel to Italy tonight to face Group D rivals Juventus. City have already qualified for the next round of the Champions League, but have recently been shaken to their core by a huge loss at home to Liverpool and a week prior a draw with Aston Villa. Now, overcome with injuries the team must get over its recent misfortunes and get back to winning. City will be travelling to Juventus with six of its senior players out with injuries. Striker Wilfried Bony, midfielders Samir Nasri and David Silva and Defenders Vincent Kompany, Eliaquim Mangala and Pablo Zabaleta are all out and head coach Manuel Pellegrini knows they are in tough shape. "It's a test to win in a difficult stadium against a strong team," said Pellegrini. It's hard to believe but City has never been past the final 16 in the Champions League. Now, just one point separates a better seeding in the next round and a win tonight would be a blessing for the Sky Blues. Juventus was able to beat City back in August 2-1 and La Vecchia Signora is never easily beat at home. Juventus are keen on moving into the final 16 as the Group D leaders, but that might not mean that they get an easier draw. This year's Champions League has been full of surprises and just because you lead the group doesn't necessarily mean that it will be easy sailing.

In the early 1990's the first ever cell phones with basic internet access were introduced to the world. Running on the 1G network, these phones had their share of issues and security was far from where it is today. With the progression to the 2G network, the possibilities of handheld devices began to become clearer and the boom in demand for mobiles with internet access started. Almost instantly, entrepreneurs of the casino industry saw the potential but they would need to wait until the technology improved. They wouldn't need to wait long, as the smart phone era was just around the corner. In 2007, the first iPhone was let loose by Apple and one year later, Google joined the party with Android. Online Casinos were finally able to offer players a viable means of handheld gaming and fast-forward to today, we are now on a 4G network with hundreds of mobile casinos to choose from. The newest smart phone on the market is the iPhone 6s, released in September, and the technological advances therein are incredible. Mobile Casinos and other Mobile Gaming has never looked so good. The speed is unmatched, even on most PC's, and one can play real money casino games, (in countries with gambling regulation) anywhere in the world. Smartphones and tablets have taken over and the technology is to say the least, cutting edge. What's Next? Social sites like Facebook include over 1/7of the world's population. Mobile operators have been offering social games on these social sites, with plans to take them to the next level. Most of the games do not yet include real money winnings but that is sure to change in the near future. Social Games like Farmville, Candy Crush and others have been the basis for real money games on mobile casinos, but the real market is on the actual social site and deals are being made with these companies to realize this very soon. Skill games are also a new trend that is rising in popularity and mobile players are at the forefront of the market. Endless levels, multi-player options, and constant competition make skill games very popular and addictive. Titles like the classic Bejeweled and Solitaire are just the tip of the iceberg and developers are creating other titles found on the best mobile casinos like bet365, Winner Casino, BETAT and many more. Live Dealer Mobile Casinos There are still many people that challenge the legitimacy of online gaming but that has surely changed thanks to Live Online Casinos. Live dealer casinos offer the same exact experience as one would receive at a brick and mortar casino, but they can be accessed from wherever one has data coverage on their mobile phone. Live Casinos are becoming so popular that revenue fell from $12.9 to $11 billion on Las Vegas' casino floors leaving management baffled. Online casinos like Jackpot City, Rich Casino and Winner Casino offer excellent live mobile casinos with professional dealers that one can even talk to during play. With new mobile devices being released regularly, so are mobile casinos.

The market holds the potential for the biggest names in the industry and could become the premier destination for operators and sports betting providers.

Registration is already open for 2016 and with expectations for yet another key summit, attendance should surpass all previous years. More information about the venue and plans for next year's annual edition can be found at the summit webpage.
Truth be told, Lyon never had much of a chance in the Champions League this season, so the fans are hardly surprise by their mediocre performance. Now that they are officially out of the race for the playoffs, they can focus exclusively on the Ligue 1. When the domestic championship resumed, they failed miserably and lost by 3-0 against Nice in a match that the host dominated from start to finish. Injury List Grows Shorter Lyon is clinging to its second-place but the group of teams chasing the leader is increasingly thick and competition more intense than ever before. By now it is self evident that they’ve got no chance to overtake PSG, so the reigning champions will almost certainly add another title to their collection. The stakes are still extremely high, because the team finishing on the second-place will participate in the Champions League next season. Even though Lyon failed to achieve anything notable in this competition, their simple presence there resulted in a lot of money. With fewer players on the injury list and only Fekir being truly impossible to replace, they can field a competitive team right from the start. Winless on the Road Five of the last six placed teams in the French first division are winless on the road, but Montpellier has only scored two games so far away from home. It is not their intention to improve this percentage against Lyon, especially not now when they have to cope with the absence of eight players. Head to head results and recent games don’t look good for Montpellier and they will barricade themselves, hoping to salvage one point. The team recently left the relegation area and their priority is not to return there, but conceding initiative can backfire badly. As long as the odds offered by bet365 Sports on Lyon to cover the -1.5 goals spread revolve around 13/10, this bet makes a lot of sense.
One of the world's leading betting and gaming companies is now getting its name into major tennis. Landmark Sponsorship According to an announcement by the International Tennis Federation November 25th, Betway has is now an official sponsor of the international professional Davis and Fed Cup by Paribas competitions until 2018. While other online gaming companies such as bet365 Sports have been branching out into sports marketing sponsorships, the competition to expand those partnerships remains brisk. Tennis is certainly a new frontier. Betway was introduced as an international sponsor by BNP Paribas at the Fed Cup final in Prague, and the Betway name will be featured prominently for the first time at the Davis Cup competition in Ghent this weekend. Per the agreement, the Betway name will be displayed courtside at all Davis Cup and Fed Cup by BNP Paribas World Group ties. The New Partnership The ITF is embracing their new partner warmly, with ITF President David Haggerty commenting that “the support of strong and creative partners like Betway who will elevate our fans’ enjoyment of the competitions is an important initiative” for continuing to strengthen the ITF's flagship events Davis Cup and Fed Cup by BNP Paribas. Haggerty also lauded Betway as “a well-respected international betting brand.” The company has been a leader in online betting, casino, bingo and poker since its launch in 2006. It has since expanded across a diverse landscape of regulated markets from the UK to Malta to Italy, Denmark, Spain, Belgium, Germany and Ireland. Betway's Strategic Expansion Betway's expanding visibility includes a principal sponsorship with the English Premier League side West Ham United, as well as adding recent title sponsorships in the Betway Premier League Darts and the Betway UK Snooker Championship. Betway Marketing and Operations Director Anthony Werkman pointed out that the BNP Paribas final in Belgium this weekend was the perfect time to add the sponsorship name, fresh on the heels of the company's recent launch into the Belgian online market.
According to the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE), casinos in Atlantic City saw a decrease in revenue in the month of October 2015 when compared to October 2014, to the tune of 3.1%. But while traditional casinos have posted losses, online casinos have gained. Traditional Casino Numbers According to the reports from the DGE, the revenue from Atlantic City brick-and-mortar casinos in October 2015 was $191.6 million, and in 2014 it was $197.7. Caesars took the hardest hit, enjoying $30.2 million of revenue in October 2014, but only $22.6 million in October 2015 - a 25.2% decrease from year to year. While experts blame the loss on seasonal changes, it doesn’t explain why this year’s seasonal changes affected the numbers more than last year’s. Moreover, October 2015 was the first month when a year-on-year comparison was actually accurate; between January and September 2014, four venues shut down in Atlantic City, meaning the year-on-year analysis always had to be adjusted for this fact. The fact that October showed losses was not encouraging. Online Casino Numbers On the other hand, four online casinos - The Borgata, Golden Nugget, Resorts and the Tropicana - all posted better numbers this year than they did in 2014. And that is good news. In October of this year, New Jersey’s online casino and poker sites brought in $12.9 million, up 8% from September’s ratings. The Golden Nugget saw the biggest jump in revenue: A whopping 170% revenue increase from month to month. What Does This Mean For the Future of Atlantic City Casinos? Atlantic City casinos have seen their fair share of ups and downs recently, especially online casinos, which were only legalized in New Jersey in November 2013. But because online gambling is still a relatively new venture, it is impossible to predict which way the wind is heading. One thing that experts agree on: Online casinos do not detract from brick-and-mortar casinos.

After their city rivals managed to win on the road, the pressure is on Manchester City to keep up the high production of goals. It is not going to be easy against Southampton, a team that knows how to keep clean sheets and defends well against better opponents. On the road however, they pose less of a threat and on this particular occasion the top priority is to prevent the home side from scoring an early goal. Fitness Concerns Hamper Manchester City Fighting a battle on several fronts is not easy even for a top team such as Manchester City and their performance in the Champions League is taking its toll. Granted the team managed to return to the first position in its group, the high frequency of games has resulted in numerous injuries. In addition to key players that are sidelined, there are more than a handful doubtful ahead of this fixture. Aguero is expected to return to the starting 11, but even if he plays from the first minute, it is unlikely for him to play the entire match. Bony is also unlikely to play, so despite its offensive talent, Manchester City is going to have a hard time putting together a competitive offensive lineup. Southampton Prepares for a 90 Minutes Siege The visitors are under no illusion that they start with a second chance, but they don’t mind being underdogs against teams competing for the trophy. They have their fair share of injuries, but unlike Manchester City they can afford to take it one step at a time and settle for a single point. Gardos and Forster are probably going to skip this match altogether and it is certain that they won’t feature in the starting formation. Pelle will be the only one to spearhead the offensive, so the best bet for this fixture in the under 2.5 goals to be scored at spectacular odds of 5/4 courtesy of bet365 Sports.
