Well let me share something rather exciting with all of you folks – it’s called Betfair Exchange games. And this is how it works: you bet on your preferred hole cards in a game of Hold’em. Or if you prefer you can punt on the outsider in Exchange Blackjack.

Betfair provides 6 exchange games. And they’re offering punters a ‘Betfair promise’ of 100% cash back on any and all losses. The no-loss bonus works like this:

• Sign up for a no-loss bonus deal and bet £50 or more on our very 1^st day on your choice of exchange games
• If you happen to lose, you’ll receive up to £25 as a bonus in the exchange games

A sweet deal? I certainly think so

The FIFA World Cup 2010 was an event that showcased three things: the prowess of South Africa to host a stellar world-class event, the preparedness and skill of the world’s football teams and of course the rise in prominence of online sports books as a major component of sports punting.  And when it comes to sportsbooks, then William Hill Sports certainly pulls no punches in providing premium service to all its punters.

What FIFA 2010 did for William Hill plc

Leading UK bookmaker William Hill has enjoyed a late surge in revenues owing to the dramatic effect of the FIFA World Cup 2010. This world-class event hosted in sunny South Africa put paid to the notion that the African continent was incapable of hosting the grandest of World Cups to date. But what I find even more impressive than that, was the impact of sports betting on William Hill’s revenues. Reports indicate that WHS enjoyed a 3% increase in net revenues. Their earnings jumped to £529.9 million for the 26-week period that ended on June 29^th 2010. That’s certainly impressive.

What makes WH’s performance even more striking is that there has generally been flat performance of sports books across the UK and continental Europe. Factors hindering the rapid growth and recovery of the gaming sector include measures to raise VAT (in the UK) by 2.5% to 20% in 2011. Plus there’s still the matter of kick starting European economies aka lending and recovery packages. This makes William Hill’s news much more exciting. Strong gains certainly bode well for a resilient gaming sector intent on providing wide-ranging coverage to sports betting enthusiasts.

Among William Hill’s many offerings are horse racing (the staple of William Hill Sports), American Football, Athletics, Australian Rules, Baseball, Cycling, Golf, Lotteries, Tennis, Motor Racing, Rugby League, UFC, Winter Sports and Volleyball. And there is live-video streaming, the best odds and 24/7 customer service to boot.

Before I get into the thick of it, I’d like to throw a few things out there about TitanBet. If you’re looking for a sportsbook that features variety, then this is for you. Imagine 7,500 daily bets and almost 2 dozen sporting categories to choose from. Now throw in live-play betting, stats galore and a wide range of betting lines and competitive sporting odds. Now we’re talking. This is the kingdom otherwise known as Titan Bet and it’s got plenty of juice for punters.

What’s hot on the Titan calendar?

Imagine the following options: motorsports, cycling, golf, ice hockey, snooker, rugby union, rugby league, cricket, boxing, baseball and football. My personal favourite is the FIBA Basketball World Championships and in this vein, TitanBet’s got it all covered.

Take a look at these stellar odds and standings:

• Greece –  2.4
• Turkey – 2.7
• Russia – 4.2
• Spain – 1.35
• Lithuania – 5

If you’re hoping for the USA as an outright winner your Titan odds are 1.36. Happy punting fellas!

Online Casino Wizard is one such portal, and a rather good one at that. Its look is clean, full of text and tables with limited lists of casinos, narrowing down the competition, or rather the options that a player should consider.

From a few visits I have done at the site, it offers thorough reviews, and adds a fair share of news and online casino related articles to players. Its standout feature, as far as I am concerned, is the listing of US online casinos featured on the site, including familiar establishments such as Golden Casino but many, many more.

When visiting, check out the cool “best payout casinos” listing a handful of casinos with really extra good payouts. (Golden is listed there too, no surprise, eh?)

Fair consideration of the bonuses and promotions, software details and customer care make these reviews on the Wizard site a good and important read.

In fact, along with the bonus or rakeback, the customer service and software network, the number of player or size of traffic at the poker room is one of the most important factors in choosing where to play.

I mean as for poker game rules and so, a poker school which is available at many poker rooms and other related sites will do the work. But once you are confident with your poker skills, you should consider SIZE.

The game, the poker game, depends to a large extent on the players. The more players, the more poker tables and games, the better the chance to find a table that you like.

More players also mean there is action 24 hours a day, and sometimes feeling like even more…

Tournament players prefer big poker sites that offer satellites to major land-based events, sit n’ go tournaments and large multi-table tournaments. Need I say more?

Bwin is one such large poker room – of the largest ones in fact. The Ongame network is perhaps Top 5 biggest poker networks in the world. This enables Bwin to offer a poker tournament every 5 minutes or so.

Bwin also proves that the larger poker rooms can be run more smoothly, are reliable and welcoming from end to end.
