The Cavaliers are almost back at full strength, which is great news for the squad, as they will need all hands on deck to beat the Celtics. Boston was almost the team to stop the Warriors' record breaking season, taking Golden State to double overtime, only to lose the game 124-119 on Friday night. The Celtics are coming off of a win against the Hornets and are now in 7th place in the Eastern Conference, just one game behind the Miami Heat. The Cavaliers injuries and road record are the two most important aspects of tonight's game. The Cavs are 5-6 when playing on the road this season and the team looks tired and messy, albeit with LeBron James on the floor to clean up afterwards. The Cavs are coming off their biggest win of the season 111-76 against the 8th place Orlando Magic on Saturday and have had a chance to rest for a couple of days ahead of tonight's game. The Cavaliers are shooting very well, going 56.9% against the Magic and scored 31 points off of 20 turnovers, but lest we forget that they lost three-straight games before the blowout. Cleveland will also soon be welcoming back all-star point guard Kyrie Irving, expected to return in the next few days to take pressure off of Shumpert and James. The Cavs will definitely have J.R. Smith back in the lineup after he fell to illness on Friday, which is great news for Cleveland. NBA Gambling Markets The NBA is live at bet365 all season long, as the premier UK sportsbook is offering pre-game and live in play gambling markets for virtually each match-up. The Cavs are very slight outright favorites tonight in all categories but it is very close for punters to call. Perhaps taking a Winning Margin bet may be better, as the odds start at 6.50 all the way up to 21.00.Don't miss the live in play gambling markets throughout all four quarters and maximize your profits.
Last week’s hearing on RAWA, the Restoration of America’s Wire Act, is being hailed as an epic fail for Rep. Jason Chaffetz, Sheldon Adelson and other online gambling opponents. The bill was heard by the House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and chaired by Chaffetz; despite the biased nature of the hearing, committee members were not impressed with the non-facts that online gambling opponents had to offer. Witnesses Testifying witnesses at the hearing were Nevada State Senator, Mark Lipparelli, Federal Bureau of Investigation Assistant Director Joseph S. Campbell, South Carolina Attorney General Alan M. Wilson and Douglas County (Nebraska) Prosecutor’s Attorney Donald W. Kleine. Noticeably missing from the witness list: Any experts in the field of online gambling. Executive director of The Poker Players Alliance, John Pappas, would have been a prime candidate for a witness (he even attended the hearing), but he was not invited to the stand. Three out of the four witnesses are famously anti-online gambling, with the one exception being Nevada State Sen. Mark Lipparelli. Lipparelli has been an important player in Nevada’s own enterprise of online gambling, and was apparently the only one of the four who had any experience with online gambling and solid facts. Specifically, Lipparelli tackled the baseless claims that geolocation and ID-verification don’t work; he even invited the committee members to visit Nevada so they could see the regulating services of an actual online gambling operation. Future of RAWA What was meant to be a rallying cry for RAWA ended up going in the opposite direction. RAWA has been pushed forward by casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, creator of the Coalition to Stop Internet Gambling, but has no factual or legal grounds to stand on. Not only would RAWA drive US players to play at unregulated, unsecured sites, but it would also trample on the rights of individual states. As of now, three states have legalized and regulated online gambling: Nevada, New Jersey and Delaware.
Quickspin has been on a roll since the beginning of 2015 and the software developer seems ready to wrap up the year with an outstanding new release. Their latest game goes by the name of Second Strike and it brilliantly succeeds at capturing the charm of classic three reel slot machines. It builds on the popular concepts while adding special features that make it second to none of the five reel variety, in terms of potential profits. Players can expect to find Second Srike at Quickspin powered online casinos like Fruity Casa Casino, Mr Green Casino and Joy Casino. Classic Fruit Machines on Steroids Second Strike is a highly successful hybrid between modern games and classic video slots that revolve around symbols depicting colorful fruits; it delivers a classic Vegas experience with a modern touch. What makes it stand out from the crowd is the original bonus feature that brings additional symbols to the reels. The trigger for this fortunate outcome is the outer wheel marker stopping on the symbol that started the winning combination in the first place. By adding an extra set of symbols which ranges from 6 to 10 of them, the unique feature blurs the line between three reel slots and their five reel counterparts. For the first time, fans of the genre can enjoy the best of both worlds, by winning more while playing the same classic slots. Just the Tip of the Iceberg The success of Second Strike is virtually ensured, given the elegant game mechanics, but Quickspin officials say that this is just the beginning. 2015 has been a great year for the software developer and the partnership with Relax Gaming is expected to help them maintain the same high standards. All the games they develop are launched on their proprietary platform and can be enjoyed on a broad spectrum of mobile devices.

The NHL regular season is in full swing. The top teams are making it increasingly harder for the mid-table to dream about reaching the playoffs, but it is still early and much could happen in the coming months. One of the biggest games on tonight is between the Senators and the Capitals. The Senators are in third place in the Eastern Atlantic Division, while the Capitals are in the lead in the Metropolitan with 44 points. The Capitals took over first place, from the Montreal Canadiens over the entire Eastern Conference after they beat the struggling Pittsburgh Penguins' star-studded lineup on Monday Night. Last season the Capitals beat the Senators twice, but Ottawa proved that they can beat any team in the league after they rallied to beat Washington in their most recent gam on April 4. With the Capitals showing their huge shots on goal capacity, Sen's backup Andrew Hammond will have a hard time dealing with the expected barrage. Hammond has played just four NHL games this season after a groin injury put him on the bench for quite a good portion of the year. Hammond has excellent stats at 22-1-4 and a 1.84 goals against record, but with the talent that Washington will have on the ice tonight, he needs to be amazing. The Capitols are 11-3-1 at home this season, which is the reason they are atop the Eastern Conference. Coach Barry Trotz is enjoying watching the younger part of his roster develop under stars like Ovechkin and co. They were able to totally shut down Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby on Monday Night, which is a feat in itself considering. Online NHL Betting bet365 Sports is offering pre-game and live in-play wagering for tonight's game. The Capitals are favorites to win tonight, but with dozens of props to choose from, test your skill at Correct Score or Over/Under and maximize profits with live in play betting.
2016 will not be the year that online gambling becomes legalized in Pennsylvania, according to an announcement made by Rep. John Payne a few days ago. For a while back in 2015, it looked like Payne’s online gambling bill, HB 649, was going to be passed, as it received support from 18 out of 26 members of the House Gaming Oversight Committee. But internal disagreements between republicans in the House and in the Senate led the House to reject the bill for 2016, leaving lawmakers in a bit of a lurch surrounding Pennsylvania's budget deficit. How Would Online Gaming Benefit Pennsylvania? The bill to regulate online gambling was originally approved by the House Gaming Oversight Committee because members realized that the revenue generated from this industry could be an effective solution for making up some of the state’s budget deficit. In fact, the majority of House republicans believe that online gambling could generate as much as $120 million in tax revenue plus $10 million in licensing fees. But that revenue won’t be seen this year. If the Bill is Approved for 2017 Payne’s bill will enable casino operators to offer real-money poker and casino games online to people located within Pennsylvania state boundaries. The bill would also allow the installation of slot machines at airports and at the OTB venues of racetrack operators in Pennsylvania. But a lot can still happen over the course of the year, and there will undoubtedly be some amendments and changes, which hopefully make the bill more likely to be passed. Online Gambling in the United States As of now, only three states have legalized online gambling: Nevada, New Jersey and Delaware. At the federal level, a bill is being pushed that would ban online gambling (RAWA), but it doesn’t look like it will be passed. As long as RAWA doesn’t receive approval, more states will be open to legalizing online gambling.
