PA, MI file sports betting bills, New Jersey pays legal bills

Pennsylvania and Michigan have joined the list of states angling for legal sports betting while leaving the heavy lifting up to New Jersey.

On Monday, Pennsylvania State Rep. Robert Matzie announced his intention to introduce legislation in the near future that would allow the state’s licensed gaming facilities to add sports betting to their palette of wagering options.

However, Matzie’s legislation won’t actually challenge the legality of the federal government’s PASPA sports betting prohibition. Instead, Matzie intends to simply ask his fellow legislators to agree to the concept in principle, then be “ready to act” if New Jersey’s legal quest to topple PASPA proves successful.

Matzie’s bill follows another ‘me too’ sports betting bill that Michigan Rep. Robert Kosowski introduced last week. Kosowski’s HB 4060 is a repeat effort from the previous legislative session that would amend the state’s gaming laws to permit licensed casino operators to offer sports wagering, assuming voters approve via a referendum.

GameCo join ESIC in the fight to stop cheating in eSports

Skill based video game machine manufacturer, GameCo, has acceded to the eSports Integrity Coalition in their fight to limit the impact of cheating in the burgeoning sport.

One of the reasons I am so skinny is because when I was a kid, I never ate anything.

Take school dinners as an example.

My Mum gave me £5 per week, but she made the mistake of giving me the lot on Monday morning. On the way to school, I would slip into Sterlini’s cafe and put every penny into a fruit machine called SPOOF.

BetBright pays out 6 figures on Acca+1

BetBright announces that it has paid out 6 figures in additional winnings since the launch of its new award winning Acca+1 product.

The Acca+1 takes your accumulator bet and offers a risk free extra selection, giving you the opportunity to increase your winnings. When placing a football Acca of five legs or more and at combined odds of 7/1 or greater, customers can add a risk free leg from a host of options. If the risk free leg comes in along with the original Acca then the bonus is paid as cash. If the original Acca wins but the risk free leg doesn’t the customer still gets paid out as normal.

Since the launch of Acca+1 in October 83% of all BetBright football Acca customers have added a Risk Free Leg to their accumulators. The proportion of stakes on multiples has doubled since launch and January has already been a record month for staking on multiples, with over a week to go.

It is currently the only Acca offer in the industry that applies to all markets and all leagues as well as both pre-play and in-play bets. The longest winning odds to date was a 385/1, fourteen fold accumulator that came in just before Christmas, no doubt providing the punter with a welcome Christmas bonus.

The New England Patriots overcame losing quarterback Tom Brady for the first four games of the 2016 regular season, going 3-1 straight up and against the spread. The Patriots have gone 13-1 SU and 12-2 ATS since Brady’s return – the best in the NFL during that stretch – prompting oddsmakers to open them as three-point favorites in Super Bowl 51 over the Atlanta Falcons.

New England is making its record ninth appearance in the big game and has earned a split in the team’s previous eight trips, going just 1-4 ATS in the last five. Meanwhile, Atlanta is headed to the Super Bowl for only the second time, losing to John Elway and the Denver Broncos 34-19 in the second of their back-to-back titles following the 1998 season.

The Falcons closed as 7.5-point underdogs versus the Broncos, and they are 3-8 SU and ATS as underdogs in the playoffs dating back to 1991, losing five in a row.
