The US Open gets underway today and competition should be fierce, as all the stars on both men's and women's sides are eager to win this event and hoist its coveted trophy. Last year it was Novak Djokovic that won top honors, but both players have been inconsistent this season and the tournament looks open for an upset. Andy Murray is in excellent form and will be seeking his fourth Grand Slam of the year to go along with his second Olympic gold medal, but has a lot of talent to face until he gets there. Heavy Hitters There is really one big story here right now and that is Djokovic and Murray. They are scheduled to meet (if they make it) in the final and if they do, it would be a repeat of the 2014 final where Murray won. Djokovic has not had the type of season he imagined with some very tough losses in key tournaments. Djokovic is still in first place in the ATP rankings at 14,840 even though he has dropped 2,000 this season. Murray is behind with 9,305. The winner of the US Open will get 2,000 points so there is even more than cash that is on the line for the tournament. The underdogs that could make a run at the Finals this year are Milos Raonic, Kei Nishikori, Rafael Nadal and Juan Martin Del Potro. Out of these players, punters could make a good bet on Milos Raonic to win outright resulting in a hefty payday. Competitive Odds There are four online sportsbooks that we will compare outright odds including bet365 Sports, 10bet, 888 Sport and Winner Sports. Outright odds are usually the biggest payday and we will look at the difference between these four brands. For the favorite, Djokovic, bet365, 10bet and Winner Sports are offering odds at 2.20 if he wins. At 888 Sports punters will receive 2.10 on the same market. Andy Murray is at 2.87 at bet365 and Winner, while at 2.75 at 10bet and 888. The odds get much more competitive for Milos Raonic beginning with bet365 Sports and Winner at 15.00. 888 offers 12.00, while 10bet has the most attractive odds for the Canadian at 17.00. It is ultimately up to you, but take a look at the diverse odds at each of these bookmakers and decide after you have all the information.

A surprising policy concession has been issued from hardline Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte. Resumption Granted Despite having already taken strong measures to eradicate gambling since taking office, the new President now says he's willing to allow a resumption of online gambling on certain conditions. Hit List This is a rather stunning reversal, after Duterte added online gambling to his infamous hit list of vices and blocked further renewals of gambling licenses for Philippine gaming cafes. Conditions Now Duterte has backpedalled to the position that he is willing to restore online gambling “provided taxes are correctly collected and they are situated or placed in districts where gambling is allowed, which means to say, not within the church distance or schools." Philweb Dissolved Earlier this same month, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp refused to renew the exclusive license of Philweb Corp, an operator offering e-bingo and e-games across 800 terminals distributed across 300 bars and cafes across the country. Revenue Losses Last year the company’s operations contributed around $12.2 million in taxes to the government. Overall, the country stands to lose about 10 billion pesos ($215 million) in annual revenues from the shut-down of licensing of e-bingo and e-games outlets. Duterte Explanation Duterte explained the softening of his stance as a passing agitation: "I was mad because even the youth are gambling and there was no way of collecting the proper taxes." New System This new stance clears the way for new online gambling revenue streams in the form of a revamped system that the Philippines government gambling operator-regulator PAGCOR is preparing to offer. PAGCOR has announced preparations to license online gambling firms that targeted “non-locals” and that it was in the process of “readying application forms.” Saving Face Of the machinations, the politician who has publicly supported death squads to eradicate crime now says: "Pay the correct taxes...Gamble until you die. I do not really care." Clearly, Duterte has shifted his stance, if not his message.

Round 1 of the 2016 US Open is behind us and what a great day of action it was on all courts. The stars were out and did not disappoint with Murray, Raonic, Nadal, Del Potro, Wawrinka and Tsonga enjoying big wins in their opening matches. Djokovic stumbled a bit in his opener but managed to win in four sets. Now as we jump into Round 2 the field is getting better and the competition starts to improve with the chance for big upsets. The odds are stacked against the underdogs, but that could be the best time for punters to take advantage of amazing betting markets. Novak Djokovic’s tricky first match could be a sign of what is to come for the World No.1. Having an inconsistent year and losing in key matches over the last while have left the Serb looking for his top form that seems to be eluding him lately. He needed to call in his trainer to work on his arm, which is a bad sign in the opening round. Even worse for Djokovic is his round 2 draw the Czech, Jiri Vesely is only one of four men that have beaten him since last November. Vesely beat Djokovic at Monte Carlo and it could be at Flushing Meadows where a repeat performance is near. Andy Murray played one of the best matches of his life. His serve was the best of recent times with 11 aces and 17 unforced errors. The Scot went 6-3 6-2 6-2 against Czech Rosol, which ended his tournament hopes, but Murray looks like he is in his groove and nothing can stop him. Djokovic Odds The odds are still with Djokovic with bet365 Sports posting odds in his favor at 1.062 and a whopping 10.00 for Vesely. There are over a dozen betting markets to choose from at the UK sportsbook and throughout all sets, bet365 is offering live in play odds for punters that want an interactive gambling experience.
