Straight bets, which are among the most popular wagering options, offer a 50% chance to win. The bettor only needs to choose between the moneyline, side, or over/under.

If you want to bet $100, then you will need to wager $300. This bet, plus the winnings, is $400.

When it comes to betting on the team that is not favored, you will see a line like +400. This means that to earn $400 you must bet $100. It’s a good indication that it may be difficult to win, since you have to bet less in order to get more.

If you bet on a point spread, the line will look like -5. This means your chosen team must win by a margin that is greater than the spread in order for the wager to pay off. If you place a bet of -5 on the Bulls and the score at the end is Chicago 100, Miami, you will win because you have taken 5 points off your team’s score.

If the score at the end of the game was 100-97 and you chose the Bulls as a -5 bet, then you have lost your wager even though you selected the winning team. This is because when you subtract 5 points from 100 you get 95 which is lower than Miami’s final score.

Money lines and point spreads are different because you can bet more on the favorites, but the chances of winning will be higher. Sides are usually -110, meaning that every $100 you stake, you’ll get another $100. This is a convenient option for bettors who place bets regularly 2up.

Ponder to replace McNabb as the starter

Leslie Frazier decided that giving Christian Ponder, a rookie quarterback, the starting position was the right choice for the Vikings. They are currently 1-5 and it is not the wisest decision to rely on the veteran Donovan McNabb. McNabb had been benched by the Redskins for most of last year in favour of Rex Grossman. The Vikings bought the veteran hoping that the change in franchises would increase McNabb’s potential.

Marshall and Moore: the perfect combination for Dolphins

Brandon Marshall was unable to complete a pass that would have been able to give the Dolphins a 6-point lead. Chad Henne is now out for the remainder of the year after undergoing shoulder surgery. Marshall looked good in his first Miami start of the year. He was paired with Matt Moore who will now be the QB for Florida. It seems that the Dolphins need to give Marshall a few more starts as the starter to determine if he and Moore will give the Dolphins some hope.

Peter Jackson, CEO of Paddy Power Betfair says that the change in name is intended to highlight the “increased variety” of Paddy Power Betfair’s products, now six after recent acquisitions — Paddy Power Betfair, Sportsbets, FanDuels, TVGs and Adjarabets. At Paddy Power Betfair’s annual general assembly in May, the name change will go before shareholders for approval. Jackson stated that the Group would be renamed Flutter Entertainment plc, due to its growing portfolio of brand names. We do not plan to continue using this name in the future for our consumers. Instead, we’ll ask shareholders for their permission at the next AGM.

Jackson claimed the change to the new name of the corporation was a necessity. However, it will be some time before we can determine if the generic sounding “Flutter”, chosen by the company to represent its corporate identity will have any long-term benefits. The name “Paddy Power Betfair”, at least, was not a bad one. It was often shortened to Paddy, PPB, or even PPB. The Paddy Power and Betfair brands will still remain prominent in the markets they are most familiar with 2up.

Flutter is not a new name. It dates back to 2001 as part of a corporate acquisition made by Betfair. As Jackson pointed out, it was a cheap move, since branding consultants were not required. Who knows? Who knows?

The sniping has begun over the name change proposal. Joe Brennan, of The Irish Times, quickly condemned the name change, saying, “The Flutter Entertainment plc could not be more tone-deaf at a moment when the gambling industry already has an image issue.” Brennan said, “A company which spends millions of dollars on advertising and marketing every year would have made a good investment if they had hired some professionals.”

Brennan’s screed is a perfect example of how gambling marketing and advertising has moved beyond the fun stage in UK and Ireland. He concluded that “the group’s proposed new name, though, is incompatible with this agenda.”

Yeah, whatever. The nanny state is pushing the limits if a corporation has to resort such political mollifying over a name that does not directly relate to any brand. Paddy’s (Power Betfair), on the other hand, has much more pressing concerns. There’s also the EUR55million in unpaid taxes that Greece and Hesse, Germany have claimed. Greece claims EUR15m in relation to Paddy Power services offered in Greece between 2012 and 2014. Hessian assesses Betfair’s operation in Greece in 2012, and prior.

In both jurisdictions, there were stretches where the regulatory framework was unclear. The courts have also challenged this. PPB has appealed both assessments but its chances are low. Others face back-tax assessments As we continue our strange tales of US sports betting, let’s look at the Sports Betting National Championship. DraftKings, global leader in DFS, offered a unique wagering contest to the newly opened market in New Jersey. The Sports Betting National Championship (SNBC) ran between January 11-13, at DraftKings live betting sportsbook outlets located in New Jersey. It was intended to combine traditional sports wagering and the contest element that is DFS.
