Derrick Rose Injury Sends Chicago Bulls Betting Odds Plummeting

Derrick Rose Injury Sends Chicago Bulls Betting Odds Plummeting
How much does one player affect NBA Championship betting odds? That answer came this past weekend when NBA superstar Derrick Rose was lost to an ACL injury. The Bulls all-star guard will be out the rest of the playoffs, and odds makers have adjusted the teams’ betting odds accordingly.Heading into the playoffs, Chicago was one of the favorites to win a championship this season, with 4/1 odds. After Rose was pronounced out for the duration of the playoffs, the Bulls odds dropped all the way to 12/1. That is a drastic drop for a team that had the best record in the NBA during the regular season.”The odds are focused on the betting public,” said Gaming Analyst Steve Schwartz. “The public perceives the Bulls of having little chance of winning a title without Rose, so odds makers acted in a way that reflected that sentiment. The odds will likely change again should the Bulls show the rest of the series with Philadelphia that they can win without Rose.”Even if the Bulls get by the 76ers, it will be the next two rounds and the NBA Finals where the team struggles. Without Rose, Chicago will have few answers on the offensive end of the floor, although they have shown this season that they can win without their star.If the Bulls get by Philly, they would face either Atlanta or Boston, and a potential showdown with the Miami Heat looms in the Eastern Conference championship series. The heat have been installed as the new favorites to win a title.Out West, San Antonio has the top seed and carried the best record in the conference into the playoffs. The Spurs, however, have odds of winning a title that are slightly less than Oklahoma City. The Thunder, along with the heat, have been the betting favorites for much of the year, and their two wins against Dallas thus far have shown that Oklahoma City has grown from the team Dallas knocked out last year in the conference finals.

Wynn Partnering With Zynga Has Online Gambling Implications

Wynn Partnering With Zynga Has Online Gambling Implications
The largest land-based casino gaming companies have started to make their move towards the online gambling industry over the past few years. This week, it has been revealed that Wynn Resorts is having discussions about a possible partnership with Zynga, the world’s largest online gaming company.Zynga does not directly allow gambling on their online games, but there are many add-ons that gamers can purchase within each game. In some games, the players can buy credits which can be used for materials needed to create a larger dominance in the game. Other games permit players to buy directly the tools necessary to compete at a high level.Zynga Poker is considered to be one of the most popular online games in the world. The Department of Justice’s decision late last year to reverse a long-standing opinion on Internet gambling has opened the door for individual states to start considering regulating Internet gaming. If that becomes a reality, and it already has in Nevada, then land-based companies want to be in position to capitalize on the law changes.Wynn had a deal in place with PokerStars last year, but when the online poker company was indicted in the US, Steve Wynn ended the relationship. Since then, Wynn has been exploring other possibilities, and a deal with Zynga makes sense, according to analysts.”To partner with a company that has a customer base as large as Zynga is beneficial to any gaming company,” said Gaming Analyst Brad Dawkins. “Either way, it’s a good deal for Wynn. If the laws don’t change, they are in business with the largest online gaming company in the world, and if the US laws do change, they will be in perfect position to have a developer that can set up online casinos.”Several US companies have already started to partner with European-based online gaming companies. For companies such as 888 Holdings, the partnerships with companies already established and with gaming licenses in the US give foreign companies an advantage in gaining a license in the US. Most jurisdictions considering regulating online gambling have already stated that they will only license existing land-based gaming companies.

Bulgaria Moves Into The Online Gambling Industry

Bulgaria Moves Into The Online Gambling Industry
The Top Online Casino Gambling News Reporting Organization! Bulgaria no longer has to be one of the country’s that watches other nations get rich on Internet gambling. The lawmakers in charge in Bulgaria have made the bold move to regulate the online gambling industry, a move that is being applauded by many residents of the country.The bill that was crafted addresses a growing problem of unregulated online casinos operating in Bulgaria. The new law calls for licenses to be awarded to both national and foreign gaming companies, and makes it nearly impossible for unlicensed online casinos to operate.One of the key parts of the law calls for Internet providers to block residents from accessing unlicensed online casinos. This will, in essence, make all functioning online casinos in the country legal. The ISP’s will gain access to which casinos will be denied operation through a blacklist created by the government. It will then be the responsibility of the providers to block the access.A similar law was put in effect in the US back in 2006. The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act put the responsibility on financial institutions to deny online gambling transactions. The law in the US did not, however, authorize any licensed online casinos, and five years later, the country is dealing with having to change their laws to include online gambling regulations.In Bulgaria, the revenue generated from the taxation of the Internet gambling industry will go towards youth sports. Bulgaria is attempting to develop their youth athletics to give children a proper avenue to avoid the troubles of being out on the streets.The issue of regulation arose over the past few years in Bulgaria as unregulated casinos have dominated the landscape. The government has vowed to eliminate all unregulated casinos, and give gamblers a safe place to enjoy a growing leisure activity. Allowing foreign licensed companies to operate in the country will keep Bulgaria free from scrutiny from other countries.

Rhode Island Governor’s Veto Stands Against Casino Gambling

Rhode Island Governor’s Veto Stands Against Casino Gambling
A bill which would allow table games to be operated at Rhode Island racinos failed to advance beyond the governor’s veto, leaving voters unable to decide for themselves. A bill passed by both houses of the Rhode Island legislature which would allow full casino gambling at the state’s two slot parlors won’t make it to the voters, as a deadline to override the Governor’s veto passed today. Governor Donald Carcieri had refused to cooperate with a bill expanding gambling, and the lawmakers had to bypass the veto by today to have the measure placed on the ballot this year.The new law would allow the operation of table games, including blackjack and roulette, to the selection of gambling provided at the racinos.The Twin River slot parlor is already in bankruptcy, and the Newport Grand facility is struggling financially, as the state places an onerous tax burden on the gaming houses. Carcieri helped change rules which forced the two erstwhile dog tracks to meet minimum hours of live racing, as the racing was losing money, but the chunk given to the state is substantially greater than greyhound losses.Carcieri also denies his own constituents the right to decide the issue for themselves. Because the expansion of gambling requires a constitutional amendment, the ultimate fate of the bill would have been decided in the general election.With table gaming denied for more than a year at best, the future of the Rhode Island gambling houses is in question. OCA gambling analyst Sherman Bradley says the state’s greed, combined with its intransigence over admitting new casino games, may cost it the multi-million-dollar golden goose.
