The final act of the Rugby League Challenge Cup is scheduled to take place on August 27 at the Wembley Stadium. Hull and Warrington will lock horns in this match that will determine the winner of the Rugby League's oldest and most prestigious competition. The knockout tournament brings together teams from university, community, armed forces and professional clubs. Warrington Emerges as Narrow Favorite In front of a sold-out crowd, the Warrington Wolves will try to defeat Hull FC for the first time in 2016. Both attempts this year failed, but even so bookmakers credit them with the first chance to triumph. 888 Sport offers by far the best odds at 13/10 with Winner Sports only offering 4/5 for this outcome. The odds of the match ending undecided are slim, but savvy punters can’t rule out this possibility either. Two of the last four matches resulted in lopsided victories, but the other two were narrow margin wins. The two teams are evenly matched and the pressure on playing on Wembley Stadium will also have a significant impact on their performance. With no major injuries, they will be able to field the best starting formation and give opponents a run for their money. Even Value on Hull FC Warrington Wolves had a couple of tough opponents to beat recently and barely emerged victorious. By comparison, Hull won its games easily and even managed to shut down its opponents twice in a row. They have scored a combined 82 points while keeping clean sheets against the Catalans Dragons and Widnes Viking. That’s why the even odds offered by bet365, William Hill and 10bet on them to triumph are so tempting. All three bookmakers are regarding Warrington Wolves as narrow favorites and price them accordingly at 4/5. Value is definitely with Hull, especially after them winning both fixtures this year and having a slightly better head to head record.
Famous Russian Babushka dolls are a part of the national tradition. First created in 1890, these wooden figures placed one inside the other, growing increasingly smaller, they can hardly be placed in the context of modern digital technologies. Yet, that's exactly what Thunderkick has done, launching their Babushkas slot, bringing funny and interesting blend of tradition and innovation to online casinos. Unique Idea Coupled with Lots of Action At a first glance, Babushkas slot doesn't sound all that exciting. Featuring 5 reels and 17 fixed paylines, coupled with seemingly outdated theme, the game doesn't seem like it has a lot to offer. However, the company definitely succeeded in surprising us in a pleasant way. The game, currently offered on Thunderkick powered casinos like Unibet Casino, SlotsMillion Casino, and Video Slots Casino, is anything but static. Babushkas constantly dance around, expanding so to create longer / better paying lines, and growing with each win. Gameplay and Graphics The latest slot by Thunderkick is a fast-paced game, featuring rather simple graphics and animation. This doesn't take anything away from the overall experience, however, as colorful Babushkas and wild bears dancing on the screen are guaranteed to make you laugh and keep you entertained. How to Win Big Babushkas slot is quite a bit different from other video slots you may be used to. There is a potential to win big, but you may be confused at first as to how this can happen. The ultimate goal of the game is to upgrade all the symbols to the maximum level (Level 6) and then fill the board with 15 of the highest paying Babushkas. To help you reach this goal, there is the Egg Wild symbol which, apart from substituting for all other symbols, can also trigger three different features: - Scare Bear: substitutes all of the lowest paying symbols on the board (up to three times) - Charm Bear: upgrades all symbols on the board once - Dance bear: Awards seven free spins, with the Egg symbol appearing on the middle reel on each spin

The record of 150 BTC beat the previous record of 95 BTC, but the best part is that both jackpots were won by the exact same player.

Since BitStarz Casino added slots from iSoftBet, they have noticed a lot of new members and more frequent wins. iSoftBet makes some incredible games and players continue to spin their reels and win lucrative cash, even if it starts as virtual currency. Bitcoin can be cashed into real money and the popularity of Bitcoin transactions is beyond all expectations. “I was actually having the game on auto spin, but followed every spin on the screen, and when I hit multiple diamonds symbols, I couldn’t believe my eyes and I wasn’t sure if I had won or not. But when I saw the Big Win screen, I knew it was true!” said the lucky player. Bitcoin casinos are becoming more and more mainstream and are the best way to perform online transactions. Safe and very easy to use, Bitcoin and Bitcoin Casinos are becoming increasingly popular.
The U.S. Open 2016 starts tomorrow and this edition promises to be more competitive than ever before. Both in the men’s and women’s tournament, leaders come under heavy pressure from strong challengers. Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams are credited with the first chance, but no longer look so dominant. The hardcourt tournaments played throughout August brought in the spotlight several of in-form athletes. Tough Mission for King Djokovic The uncontested leader of the ATP is trusted to win another Grand Slam by major bookmakers. bet365 Sports and Winner Sports offer the best odds at 6/5. This looks like tremendous value given the fact that odds on Novak Djokovic winning a grand slam exceed even value for the first time this season. There is obviously a reason behind the decision of leading bookmakers to boost the odds. We don’t have to look any further than Wimbledon to see why Andy Murray is such a big threat for the world number one. Real Deal Bet Sports and 888 Sport give odds of 7/4 on the Scotsman to win his second Grand Slam this year. His high percentage with the first serve and the uncanny ability to return even the most powerful serves make him a serious challenger. He now has the experience, stamina and confidence to prevail at the U.S. Open. The tournament lasts for two weeks and the best tennis players are on the main draw. All Eyes on Serena Williams The American champion has tied Steffi Graf for the lead and has high expectations from this U.S. Open. Serena Williams can further improve her stellar career by winning a Grand Slam in front of the fans. A perennial favorite, she is once again expected to triumph at Flushing Meadows. Those who trust her to prevail should place a bet with either Real Deal Bet Sports or 888 Sport, as they offer 3/2. Angelique Kerber is arguably the biggest challenger, after defeating her in Australia. The American leveled the score at Wimbledon and has the advantage of a more powerful serve. This helps a lot on hard court and explains why the German is given odds of 9. Simona Halep and Garbine Muguruza are only slightly above with average odds revolving around 10. The Spanish player has the advantage of already winning a Grand Slam a few months ago when she prevailed on the French clay of Roland Garros. The Dark Horses of U.S. Open 2016 Rafael Nadal, Milos Raonic and Kei Nishikori are a few of the players capable of causing major upsets. However Rafael Nadal and Kei Nishikori have struggled with injuries in 2016. As for, Milos Raonic he has a hard time coping with pressure in the final acts of Grand Slam tournaments. Meanwhile, Del Potro and Wawrinka are given odds that go as high as 25/1 and both of them have defeated Novak Djokovic. It’s also worth considering Marin Cilic for such a bet as bookmakers give equally high odds on him to prevail. Keep in mind that he has won the U.S. Open before, showed impressive form recently at the Cincinnati Masters. He lost just two sets throughout the tournament and is one of the few players who have defeated Andy Murray this year. In the women’s competition, Petra Kvitova and Madison Keys are the obvious choice for those who want to bet on a dark horse. They both have powerful serves, have won tournaments and feel comfortable on hardcourt surface. Best choice for punters who don’t mind taking chances for the sake of better odds is Aga Radwanska. One could get odds as high as 33/1 at bet365 Sports and Winner Sports. This is tremendous value on the latest WTA Finals winner and the player who recently crushed Kvitova 6-1 6-1.

After strong revenue growth in the first half of 2016, Playtech is spreading it around with a spree of small acquisitions and some new dividends. Dividends Trumpet Growth H1 of 2016 has seen revenues rise 18 per cent to €337.7m. Although pre-tax profit fell 42 per cent due to a sharp rise in financing costs, overall growth has apparently kept Playtech owner owner Teddy Sagi bullish, raising interim dividends 15 per cent to 11 cents per share. The sports betting, online casino and poker games software provider further announced an additional €150m on a special dividend to be paid in December. Casino Offerings Key Of his organisational position, Chairman Alan Jackson explained that his company´s “industry-leading” casino offerings are keying the Gaming Division´s strong growth. Further sustainability has already been secured via new agreements signed with “important” new licensees and the renewal of “significant contracts.” Strategy Implementation Not content to sit on liquidity placed June 6th at close to €800m, Playtech has already set about investing it effectively, as evinced in rent acquisitions including this year´s €138m takeover of former rival operator Best Gaming Technology (BGT) and last year´s purchase of Quickspin. Showing Some Restraint Despite the temptation towards freewheeling spending in this new iGaming era of Mergers and Acquisitions, Playtech has remained prudent, pulling out of a proposed £460m deal for trading platform Plus 500 which collapsed last year, then in April passing on the purchase of Openbet ultimately acquired by a William Hill and Sky Bet-backed group. Confidence in Efficiency Jackson attributed organisational confidence as the basis for Playtech´s adoption of the aforementioned progressive dividend policy and a €150m special dividend return to shareholders whilst maintaining an efficient and flexible balance sheet. The special dividend totaling a payment of 46 euro cents per share is due to be paid out on Dec. 6. Forecast Looking ahead to H2, Playtech CEO Mor Weizer intimated that Playtech´s acquisitions were far from complete for the year, revealing that his company as "a strong pipeline of M&A targets…in both gaming and finance divisions." Assessment With year-on-year revenue growth for the Gaming Division standing at 18%, the bottom line would indicate the effectiveness of the Playtech strategy so far.
PSG has won the first two games this season and is yet to concede a goal. This performance comes only a couple of days after they won the French cup against Lyon, one of the contenders for the trophy. Monaco is the other challenger and now it has home pitch advantage could prove its case. Pressure is on the home side, as a defeat in front of its fans will jeopardize their chances of causing an upset this season. A Busy Month for Monaco Monaco finished as runner-up last season and as a result it has to play in the Champions League qualifiers. The first match went surprisingly well and they managed to win on the road after scoring twice against Villarreal. A couple of days before, they allowed two goals at home against Guingamp before mounting an incredible comeback. However, they had to settle for one point which frustrated the fans. Now they return home and count on their support, because anything short of a raucous crowd would decrease their chances. The main concern for manager Jardim is that no fewer than seven players are injured or suspended. A couple of strikers feature on this list including Falcao, so they will have fewer options upfront. The 10th Consecutive Win for PSG The perks of winning the French championship is that you don’t have to go through qualifiers and are guaranteed a spot in the Champions League groups. PSG is simply waiting for the most important European competition to start and meanwhile focuses on the domestic league. They have three players doubtful but none of them essential and the offensive line up looks impeccable. Odds of 4/5 with bet365 on PSG to win on the road are the biggest you get in a Ligue 1 match. Truth be told, Monaco is one of the toughest possible opponents, but right now they don’t look like a serious challenger for the reigning champions.

Yahoo Esports is very new to the industry on the other hand, and a partnership with ESL will mean more content and industry relevance for Yahoo, while their top of the line coverage and storytelling is certain to benefit ESL. The partnership was made with hopes of bringing mainstream audience into the world of eposrts through dispersion of esports across the wide range of Yahoo online properties, which is likely to be a success considering the extreme popularity of Yahoo products worldwide. Yahoo Tournaments On The Horizon Yahoo Esports was launched in March as a platform aimed at original esports video content and live tournament coverage, but now that the company is partnered with ESL, one of the things we can expect is the start of some brand new Yahoo tournaments as the company aims to really get involved in what is soon to be $1 Billion a year industry. With Yahoo at the helm, these new competitions look destined for great success and with help and cooperation of the largest esports company in the world they are sure to draw large crowds of industry insiders as well as mainstream audience that Yahoo aims to bring in the door. Representatives from both companies have made statements regarding the deal, with both sides clearly excited and hopeful for the future this arrangements looks set to bring.
