A.J Green, A Cornerstone For Georgia Bulldog Football Betting Lines In 2010

August 30th, 2010 / No Comments » / by admin

Georgia will start red-shirt freshman quarterback Aaron Murray this year, opening at home against Louisiana LaFayette on Saturday.  Murray is a highly touted recruit, possessing a big arm, but the lack of experience is no doubt a cause for concern among the Bulldog faithful.  Still, the expectations for Green to have yet another big year are there.

Last season, Green caught 53 balls for 808 yards and six touchdowns in nine games.  He was injured for part of the season, when did not step foot on the field for three of the Bulldogs’ final four games.

Green comes into 2010 healthy, and eager to take on the difficult Southeastern Conference defenses.  As such, USA Online Sportsbooks have constructed betting lines for Green, and the number of touchdown receptions that he will have in the regular season.

0- 2 TDs     +2000
3 – 4 TDs     +1500
5 – 6 TDs     +1000
7 – 8 TDs     +700
9 – 10 TDs     +500
11 – 12 TDs     +400
13 – 14 TDs     +400
15 – 16 TDs     +500
17 – 18 TDs     +500
19 – 20 TDs     +700
21 or More TDs     +450

Green is a cornerstone piece to Georgia’s expectations this season, after a disappointing 8-5 campaign in 2009.  Many are predicting the Bulldogs to contend for the SEC East division along with Florida, and the SEC Conference Championship. If they are to make a run at the SEC, Green will play a factor in that determination.

Punters Back England For 2018 World Cup Bid – 08-28-10

August 27th, 2010 / No Comments » / by admin

August 28 – Punters have supported England’s 2018 World Cup Bid with their wallets and the 1966 World Champions are now 4/5 favourites to host the tournament.

FIFA officials are currently in England inspecting stadiums and transport facilities and the punters obviously believe the delegation have been impressed.

Betfred.com spokesman Mark Pearson,

“Punters are only backing one bid and that’s England’s so we’ve had to cut the price after a string of bets. Let’s hope the punters are right that football is finally coming home.”

Second in the betting is Russia at 5/2 and Mark Pearson believes it may be wrong to right off their bid.

“Russia have got to be a threat to England’s 2018 World Cup bid because FIFA President Sepp Blatter likes to make big statements and taking the tournament to Russia for the first time would be a big statement.”

European and World Cup winners Spain have joined forces with their Iberian neighbours Portugal and are 4/1 in the betting but it is thought FIFA is not in favour of joint bids.

The winning bid will be revealed by FIFA’s executive committee on December 2nd.

To Host World Cup 2018

England 4/5
Russia 5/2
Portugal and Spain 4/1
Belgium and Holland 11/1
USA 20/1

Rep. Jim McDermott pushes to get online gambling tax bill marked up

August 25th, 2010 / No Comments » / by admin

A Congressional bill that could raise billions of dollars in state and federal revenues through the taxation of a legalised online gambling environment in the United States remains stuck in committee, but author Representative Jim McDermott is pushing hard to get it marked up in time to get it to the House floor in this Congressional session.

The Internet Gambling Regulation and Tax Enforcement Act of 2010 is an important companion bill to Congressman Barney’s Frank’s HR2267 seeking to legalise online gambling in the United States.

It deals with the issue of taxing – and how to use those tax revenues – a legalised internet gambling market, which independent estimates predict will garner billions of dollars for government coffers over the next decade.

HR2267 has been debated, amended and voted forward from the House Financial Services Committee, but needs the support of an allied tax bill such as McDermott’s.

However, McDermott’s bill remains mired in the House Ways and Means Committee, bogged down by a slew of other legislative projects, and time is running out as distracted politicians eye the October break for campaigning in mid-term elections in November, and the closing months of the current Congress.

This week the National Journal reported that McDermott is pushing the Ways and Means chairman, Sander Levin, hard for a mark up on his bill in the hope that he can get it to the floor. It’s an issue that will be closely watched by the industry.

British Columbian Online Gambling Site Finally Re-Launches

August 19th, 2010 / No Comments » / by admin

When the British Columbia Lottery Corporation launched the first regulated online gambling site in North America, their servers had been hit with an unexpected volume of traffic. The traffic had brought down the servers, causing the online gambling site, Playnow.com, to come down.

PlayNow.com had been down for several weeks, but the B.C.L.C.has finally restarted their website. The site has returned to operational status and is now accepting players who meet the criteria for play.

In order to register for PlayNow.com, there are some criteria that must be met. Players must be at least 19 years of age in order to play the games, and only residents of British Columbia are entitled join. This information must be confirmed prior to playing.

PlayNow has incorporated many of the best features of online gambling, including sports betting, an online casino, bingo, and even the ability to purchase lottery tickets over the Internet.

The British Columbia Lottery Corporation has established an online gambling site which could easily be emulated by the United States. While the regulation of online gambling has been working its way through congress, it has been making limited progress due to certain legislators being increasingly harsh toward.

Online gambling, particularly online casinos and poker, are both a major source of potential profit. Only a regulatory body would allow the U.S. government to profit off of Internet gambling, provided they would follow in the footsteps of the B.C.L.C.

Israeli ISPs instructed to block Victor Chandler, Stan James sites

August 17th, 2010 / No Comments » / by admin

The Israeli police crackdown on ISPs serving internet gambling sites continued unabated this week, with the publication Calcalist reporting that the police, supported by tax officials and the State Prosecutor’s Office are still serving injunctions on internet service providers requiring them to block specific online gambling sites.

The directives are signed by police district commanders, and it is not at this stage known whether the orders have been approved by the courts.

Calcalist reports that this week the ISP 012Smile started blocking websites as a result of the police directive.

Police are apparently acting on the orders of the Justice Ministry and the State Prosecutor’s Office, which recently issued an opinion that the Internet could be defined as a place where illegal games take place, and that measures to prevent transmission could therefore be taken.

Calcalist claims that last week letters were sent ISPs servicing sites belonging to respectable online gambling companies like Stan James and Victor Chandler.

It appears that more restraints could be in the pipelines, government officials are on record as saying: “Enforcement agencies do not view the blocked (ISP) access as the end of the story, but rather part of the ongoing battle against this widespread phenomenon, and more sites may be blocked in the future.”

Regulation creates problems for gambling operators in France and Canada

August 10th, 2010 / No Comments » / by admin

The spectre of Internet censorship at national level through Internet Service Providers (ISPs) came a step closer last week when the French government regulator ARJEL went to the courts to obtain orders on ISPs blocking a blacklist of online gambling websites without French licensing.

In the same week, Canadian players on the Boss Media-powered Casino Club started receiving emails advising them that:

“We regret to inform you that due to the new regulations of the British Columbia Lottery Corporation, Loto-Québec and the Atlantic Lottery Corporation, online gaming products in Canada are prohibited.

“Unfortunately we are required to add Canada to our list of excluded countries. Players from Canada will no longer be permitted to play at CasinoClub starting September 24th, 2010.

“In case you have a positive balance in your account, kindly withdraw it as soon as possible. Information on how to do so can be found on our website.”

At this stage it is not clear whether this is a decision from the software provider or the operating company.

In the case of the ARJEL censorship, major and respected international online gambling groups were on a blacklist allegedly composed by ARJEL for ISPs and leaked late last week to igamingfrance.com.

Most of the companies on the list, dated July 15, had apparently either started cutting off French players using geo-targeting technology and account information or intended to do so anyway, and will cease marketing efforts in France. Reaction from the blocked companies has so far been muted.

Following the ARJEL complaint, the criminal department of the French Superior Court issued an order forcing French ISPs to block the following websites of 16 international operators: Globet, Interwetten, Jaxx, Betfred, 888sport, 10bet, 32red, Betsson, Stan James, Bet24, Centrebet, Betcris, Boylesports, Paddy Power, Stryyke, Jetbull.

The French action follows vigorously opposed moves by the Australian federal government to impose similar ISP bans, which have been widely crticised by Internet freedom bodies across the globe.
