Barcelona are still the powerhouse of La Liga, how could they not be with the incredible roster and coaching staff that has won every trophy that a club could hope for. The biggest contest for Barca is Madrid, and we are not just talking about Real. Atletico have become a superpower in La Liga and in the Champions League. Head Coach Diego Simeone has done an amazing job of building the team slowly over the last five years and paying attention to important things like work ethic, quality of players and practice. If Barcelona once dominated Atletico prior to 2014, then that has all changed and matches between these two squads are some of the most intense to watch. Atletico travel to Camp Nou tonight and after an embarrassing loss to Alaves two weeks ago, Barcelona is hoping that they can continue winning like they did last week against Leganes. Barcelona currently sit in third place with 9 points behind unbeaten Real Madrid and Sevilla, but the season is just getting started. In matches where Atletico beat Barcelona over the last two seasons, Barca were flat and didn't show their usual intensity and incredible play making. In their four home games this year, Barcelona have scored 17 goals. That's right, a 4.25 average per game. That is insane! They scored seven against Celtic in the Champions League, six against Betis on opening day, three against Sevilla in the Super Cup and one against Alaves in their sole loss. They are offensive powerhouses and no team can come close to the attack that Barca brings on a good day. If Barca are the offensive specialists, Atletico are defensive Gods. They have kept clean sheets on the road against Vigo, Leganes and against PSV in Europe. Without a doubt the leading defense in La Liga and they pose a threat to any team. La Liga Odds Barca are obviously favorites to win tonight at Camp Nou with famed UK sportsbook bet365 posting odds in their favor at 1.61, while Atletico are way behind at 5.50.

Poker players in the United States are anxiously waiting to see if lawmakers will amend existing legislation. In its current state, it remains prohibitive and has a deterring effect on poker rooms willing to serve local players. Delaware is one of the few states where online gaming is legal and has recently posted encouraging numbers. In August, the year on year online gaming revenue grew significantly, despite the fact that the Internet poker industry struggled globally. The numbers are generally positive, but it’s impossible not to see that the amount collected in August is less than the money made in June and July. Video slots were the ones that drove the numbers upward, with millions of players spending a lot of money online. The poker industry is always declining during summer months and this happened again this year. August marks the lowest point since February and compared to last year, the numbers plunged by a full 7%. A Small State with High Expectations The legislation in Delaware is welcoming for international and US poker rooms. Unfortunately, the state is one of the smallest nationwide and has less than 1 million residents. With only a small portion of them playing online poker, it is self-evident that action is frequently dragging at the tables. Compacts were supposed to solve this problem and The First State joined forces with Nevada. This provided a small boost for the local poker industry, but not enough to bring it back on its feet. This is the direction in which online poker should be heading in the United States. If enough states join compacts, the poker players pool will be large enough to create a sustainable online gaming environment. The other state where the game can be legally played over the Internet is New Jersey and Pennsylvania could pass similar laws this autumn. These three states together should be able to breathe fresh air in the online poker industry hit hard by the US ban.
The Patriots are in trouble. Not only are they still without their all-star QB Tom Brady, the team has not added a backup QB for tonight's game. The good thing for New England is that Texans' QB Brock Osweiler has thrown three interceptions in just two games, but they have been able to win their first two games to lead the AFC South. The Patriots have been successful without Brady and are also 2-0, and having the home field advantage tonight will be crucial for their chances at winning. Protect the Ball Osweiler must protect the ball. He is working with a new offence including six new starters. There will undoubtedly be some mistakes but luckily the Texans have one of the best Defenses in the league. The Texans must focus on their rush game. The Patriots are an excellent run defense that allows a average of 81 yards per game. The Texans defense is a bit behind in the rush protection at 113 yards per game but both teams are relatively even. The Patriots are excellent at home, but the Texans are 6-0 against rookie Quarterbacks. Bill Belichick is one of the best coaches in the game and he is not worried about the fact that he is putting a rookie out there against the fierce Texan D. Nobody messes with Belichick at home and this game will surely be won by the Patriots. Prediction The game will be a close one but punters can expect the Patriots to win 24-17. They will control the tempo of the game and count on their run to make up for any faults at QB. NFL Betting Odds bet365 Sports is all over the NFL and all games this year. Tonight, they have posted 234 individual betting markets for punters to choose from. Outright, the Texans are the slightest of favorites at 1.83, while the Brady-less Pats are at 2.00. Check out the live in play odds throughout all four quarters of action.

Taco Brothers Taco Brothers has a similar design, with players also given 243 ways of winning on the five-reel slot.

As the world of online video gaming is evolving and real money is being used more and more for purchasing in-game items, skins and currencies, various individuals and organizations have already started finding ways to use these markets and turn them to their own advantage. Some years ago it was popular Blizzard’s game World of Warcraft that caused some scandals as in-game currency and items black market had grown massive, despite the game makers forbidding the sale of such items. A while ago, sites emerged where punters could bet CS:GO skins on the outcomes of real world sporting events, betting markets have emerged where betting with FIFA and Madden Coins on sporting events was made possible. FIFA Ultimate Team Betting FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) is a game mode in the popular FIFA games that allows players to build teams, purchasing players through the acquisition of various in-game milestones, but also through real money purchases of the in-game coins. This gives the in-game coins real money value, which makes them perfect for unregulated gambling. The acquisition of player packs in particular is an interesting part of the game, as a player can purchase player packs that will include undisclosed players, whose value may be higher or lower than that of the pack purchasing price, making it a bit of a gamble in itself. Sites such as FutGalaxy created platforms for FIFA players to bet FIFA Coins on the outcomes of real world football matches as well as FIFA matches streamed on Twitch by the site’s presenters. UK Gambling Commission Charges Owners United Kingdom is a very well regulated market when it comes to gambling and betting of any sorts, with the country’s governing body, the UKGC in charge of licensing and sanctioning any gambling facilities who operate within the country. Earlier this year, UKGC took a firm position when it comes to esports betting, publishing that any sort of wagering done with virtual currency had to be regulated by the body and that any site who wishes to facilitate such gambling had to request a license from UKGC. Considering FutGalaxy did not request such a license, UKGC have now take action against the site’s owner Dylan Rigby and YouTube presenter Craig Douglas, with charges of violating the Gambling Act of 2005 by providing unlawful gambling facilities, advertising unlawful gambling and soliciting minors to gamble. Stay tuned for further developments in UKGC’s fight against unlawful esports betting.

PSG lost precious points against Monaco and St. Etienne, which caused it to lose the first place in Ligue 1. They are trying to return to the top and could do exactly that by defeating Toulouse on the road on Friday evening. The visitors have a couple of injury concerns, but none of them are serious enough as to jeopardize their favorite status. PSG Returns to Its Winning Ways The French champions were on the verge of securing all three points against Arsenal, but in the end they had to settle for one. They lost to Monaco and got just one point against St. Etienne, but since then things improved a lot. The last two games were simply amazing and the reigning champions have scored a combined nine goals for keeping clean sheets on both occasions. Against Toulouse, they will play the same aggressive football and hope that the visitors will crumble under pressure. They’ve got a spectacular head to head record, with 14 victories in the last 15 games and a single draw. Overall PSG has won the vast majority of games and will be aiming for another victory. Toulouse Bolsters Its Defenses The hosts are currently riding a short winning streak with two consecutive victories, each of them by the same score. They managed to score twice but conceded a goal on each occasion and they can consider themselves lucky to allow just one against PSG. Toulouse needs to take additional precautions ahead of this fixture and the top priority is to bolster defenses. They’ve got five players unavailable and four of them are playing defensive roles, which doesn’t bode well for this type of match. Bet365 only offers odds of ½ on PSG to win on the road, but under these circumstances they are still valuable and fully justify a high-stakes bet.
It's been a lucky week in America as both the Powerball and Mega Millions lottery jackpots have been won. On Saturday 17th, a Powerball ticket bought in the state of Georgia matched the white balls numbers 09 19 51 55 62 and the Powerball number 14 to scoop the grand prize of $264 million, while on Friday 16th, a single ticket matched the Mega Millions numbers 13 21 28 34 40 plus the gold Mega Ball 15 to win $133 million. It's not clear yet whether these were held by individuals or syndicates, or if the winners have chosen to have the whole prizes paid out in instalments over 30 years, or to go for the cash options which gives them immediate riches, minus the taxes that apply to US jackpots. It could also be the case that either or both could have bought through one of the online lottery ticket agencies such as The Lotter, Play USA Lotteries or Jackpot.com Lottery, all of which have opened up these and other major games from around the world to a much wider audience. How To Play US Lotteries The Powerball lottery costs $2 per play and to win it tickets must match the 5 main numbers from a pool of 69, plus the single Powerball from a set of 26. Matching the 5 main balls alone wins a $1 million prize, while a Powerplay option costs an extra $1 and will multiply any wins below this level by up to 5 times over. The Powerball is drawn on Wednesday and Saturday evenings at 11 pm EST in Tallahassee Florida. Once the jackpot is won, it is re-set at a starting value of $40 million and rolls over until a winning ticket is bought. To win the Mega Millions lottery jackpot, players will need to have matched 5 main numbers from 75 plus a single Mega Ball number from 15, which costs $1 per play, or $2 if the Megaplier, which is similar to the Powerplay option is taken. Mega Millions draws take place at 11 pm EST on Tuesday and Saturday in Atlanta, Georgia. The Mega Millions has a starting value of $15 million.
