Watching Arena Football can do a lot to help bettors

05.23.2011     12:27 PM     Teddy Covers     Printer Friendly
Submitted by Teddy Covers

SportsMemo.com blog entry.
The Arena Football league extended their season for the 2011 campaign. The old season, like the NFL, was a 16-game campaign with a bye week for each squad sprinkled into the mix. But this year in the AFL, each of the 18 teams will play 18 games with two bye weeks over a 20-week regular season that lasts from early March through late July.

The four division winners and two wild cards from each conference make up the eight-team playoff field, with Arena Bowl XXIV slated for August 12, 2011 at the home of the highest remaining seed.

After another wild AFL weekend (one game decided on a TD pass with 0.4 seconds on the clock; three more decided by a single score, with the outcome still in doubt through the final minute) a dozen teams have now reached the halfway point with ten games in the books. The other six teams have played nine games each, hitting the midpoint of the season this coming week.

The sportsbooks here in Vegas don’t put a lot of time or energy booking Arena Football. It’s a niche Read more

Nevada passes stripped-down online poker bill

05.20.2011     07:12 AM     Printer Friendly
On Thursday, the Nevada State Assembly unanimously passed a stripped-down bill for the development of a licensing process for online poker. Basically, Nevada will create its own set of rules of how to regulate online gaming should legalization come from the federal government.


"It highlights that there's a need," said Assemblyman William Horne, D-Las Vegas, whose committee sponsors the bill. "Where there's a void of regulation, there's corruption."

Betting market cannot catch up with Dallas Mavericks

05.19.2011     06:38 AM     Printer Friendly
In this midst of one of the greatest pointspread runs in NBA history (15-0), the Dallas Mavericks continue to outpace the betting market. During their 15-game run that dates back to the last four games of the regular season, the Mavs have covered by an average of 9.4 points (perhaps somewhat inflated after their 36-point Game 4 win over LA). The only somewhat debatable ATS result was Game 3 against Portland. The Hilton, Greek and CRIS all closed Dallas +5.5 while Pinnacle and Grande closed Dallas +5 which would have been a push. All five shops offered +5.5 or +6 prior to the late Dallas money. The Mavs are 5.5-point favorites for Game 2 against Oklahoma City.


"There's clearly a major disconnect between perception and reality here," said Andrew Garrood, executive director of Las Vegas Sports Consultants. "It's safe to say we won't see anything like this again for a Read more

Oddsmakers think Buccaneers can contend in NFC South

05.17.2011     01:03 PM     Printer Friendly
The Hilton's Jay Kornegay says the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the "real deal" and capable of reaching the postseason following a breakout 10-6 campaign (Season O/U Wins was 5.5). Atlanta and New Orleans are 6-5 favorites to win the NFC South this year followed by the Bucs at a respectable 4-1.The Hilton is expected to release its Season O/U numbers in late May.


"Just looking at the Bucs, they have the offensive core to be a contending team,'' said Las Vegas Hilton sportsbook manager Jay Kornegay. "With Freeman, Mike Williams and LeGarrette Blount, they contain the offensive weapons to move the ball. The weaknesses they had, mainly on the defensive line, were addressed in the draft. Only time will tell if these players can actually make a difference.''

"However, the 10-6 record is misleading since they didn't beat anyone with a winning record until the Read more

On Monday, Assembly Bill 294 (mobile casino gambling) was brought before the Nevada Senate Judiciary Committee. The bill would allow Las Vegas casinos customers to play games on mobile devices anywhere they choose, including their hotel rooms. Should the bill pass, the tax revenue was estimated to be $18.5 million in the first year.

SportsMemo.com blog entry.
Las Vegas' Sahara Hotel and Casino will shut its doors for good following nearly 60 years of service. It was purchased in 2007 with hopes of "reinvigorating" the property but eventually the owners didn't feel it could compete against some of the town's more modern establishments.

Oakley sues Vegas resort after getting worked over by security guards

05.16.2011     06:16 AM     Printer Friendly
Charles Oakley is suing Las Vegas' MGM Resort for being on the wrong end of what is being labeled a "gang-style beat down" from May of 2010. Oakley was invited to a VIP party and when he left but tried to return, five security officers allegedly gave him the business, i.e. kicked his ass.


After a ''verbal altercation'' with officers, Oakley attempted to return to his room when he was ''assaulted'' by them in a secluded area of the resort, the lawsuit alleges.

The complaint contends the officers wrestled Oakley to the ground and punched and handcuffed him, and that he was taken to the hospital with injuries to his neck, back, head and wrist, ''all or some of which may be permanent and disabling.''

Nevada tops nation in Sin Tax revenue

05.13.2011     06:30 AM     Printer Friendly
The "sin taxes" have long been considered gambling, tobacco and alcohol. Certain states cash in on their revenue while others choose to gather money elsewhere. Here is an article that lists the Top 10 States and the percentage of their revenue that is drawn from "sin taxes". 

1. Nevada 12.83%
2. Rhode Island 8.66%
3. Delaware 7.55%
4. Indiana 6.11%
5. South Dakota 563%
6. Pennsylvania 5.04%
7. Michigan 4.91%
8. Illinois 4.91%
9. New Hamshire 4.54%
10. New Jersey 4.34%



Nevada’s revenue from sin is 12.83% of its total budget, which is nearly 4% higher than Rhode Island’s and greater than the percentages of New Jersey, New Hampshire, and Illinois combined. Not surprisingly, most of Nevada’s income comes from gambling – the state collected more than $835 million, the third-most in the country. In Read more








Absolute Poker drops sponsorship of pro players

05.10.2011     06:44 AM     Printer Friendly
UPDATE

Absolute Poker, which is owned by Blanca Games, was forced to drop its sponsorship of various pro players amid reports that the company is nearing bankruptcy. Included in the list of casualties were Ian Scott (guitarist for Anthrax) and Trishelle Cannatella (Real World Las Vegas ’02 alum).


"This was a difficult task for Blanca's management, and we are very disappointed that we have been compelled to sever ties with our sponsored pros," the company said. "We are truly saddened that circumstances have dictated this course of action."

Full Tilt and PokerStars have announced agreements with the Department of Justice to return money to players, and PokerStars says its process has begun. But Absolute has said that while paying players is its top priority, it's reviewing the legal actions with its lawyers before moving ahead to make payments.

Online poker players search for new options

05.10.2011     06:35 AM     Printer Friendly
A couple of stories from everyday poker players who are coping with the current climate of online gambling. Some have traveled to places where poker is currently legal whereas others are finding new ways to create income.


"Ultimately, it doesn't really matter where I end up," said the 25-year-old Haxton, who currently lives in Las Vegas. "So long as I can get myself to a country with good Internet connections, a country that allows me to earn a living again, I'm there."

"Leaving the country really is a logical decision, though I'd like to say it's a political statement," says Peng, a native of Singapore who in 2010 became a fixture at the top of online-poker rankings. "Before I came to the U.S., I thought this was a country of freedoms. I know better now."

"It's not like you can get a work visa if you're playing online poker full-time," says Bonomo. Read more
