<description><![CDATA[Bookmakers have suspended betting on City&#8217;s match against Eastbourne tomorrow after news leake]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Bookmakers have suspended betting on City&#8217;s match against Eastbourne tomorrow after news leaked that Chester may have to field a weakened team. Rumours have been circling that Chester City players have refused to play over a pay row, whilst these reports are not confirmed, it has lead bookmakers to suspend betting on the fixture as word spread on a number of forums.</p>
<p>The news has spread fast with many fans in the know lumping on Eastbourne Borough to win at a handsome price of 2/1. Even Chester City fans on the Deva Chat forum have got involved as well as punters around the world on the OLBG forum.  It echoes similarities to Weymouth last season when the they could not afford to pay the players wages. The players then left and found other clubs leaving the club to field a youth side which subsequently lead to heavy defeats.</p>
<p>Latest figures on BetFair show that £31,000 has been traded on the Chester City Vs Eastbourne match compared to the £833 traded on Ebbsfleet United Vs Mansfield Town.  It is thought that up to £2 million may have been gambled on this fixture through the many internet websites and high-street bookmaker shops.  The crunch deadline for Chester City to pay their football debts is now just three days away with worried fans no nearer to knowing the club’s fate.</p>
<p>Worse than that, they are being kept in the dark.  Despite repeated efforts from the media, no-one was able to to contact anyone at the club to confirm whether or not the outstanding money will be paid. And as D-day approaches, there are real fears the Blues will now be thrown out of the Football Conference.</p>
<p>Fans’ groups, other clubs, officials from the Football League and Conference plus the PFA were all willing to discuss the club’s crisis. But City officials wouldn’t answer the phone – or even come to the door when reporters called at the Deva Stadium.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Watching the first 10 minutes of the first two games, the last 10 minutes of the last game, then checking the bankroll after the games, made me feel like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyhaTQseKTQ" target="_blank">McCroskey</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">If you&#8217;re a UT newbie who thinks he&#8217;s feeling some pain, well, you&#8217;re not imagining things, this has turned pretty painful.  I&#8217;ll share an article about this bizarre season (I love Mr. Youmans&#8217; choice of adjective), and be back tomorrow to explain that things really are better than they seem, they just feel bad now.  You&#8217;ll see.  See you tomorrow.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>MATT YOUMANS: Rancid teams prove to be bookmakers&#8217; nightmare</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8230;&#8221;I can&#8217;t remember an NFL season with this many bad teams,&#8221; said Las Vegas Hilton sports book director Jay Kornegay, who has been in the business for 22 years. &#8220;No doubt, it was the worst day ever for the books.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8221;We can&#8217;t attract money on these poor teams. We keep losing on the same teams. They are not even close to covering.&#8221;<!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8230; The Patriots were 151/2-point favorites in a 35-7 victory over Tampa Bay at London. The Colts were 14-point road favorites in a 42-6 victory over St. Louis. The Packers, 9-point road favorites, put a 31-3 beating on Cleveland.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8230;  &#8221;When you give a team 14 points at home or 15 points at a neutral site, you think you&#8217;re doing the right thing,&#8221; Kornegay said. &#8221;In the past, you would hardly ever see a team getting 14 points at home. But some of these teams are so terrible, you might see it on a weekly basis. It creates a bad situation for the sports books when the bad teams don&#8217;t cover, because liability adds up real fast.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8230;  The bookmakers and oddsmakers need to &#8221;aggressively adjust&#8221; the numbers, Kornegay said, so we might soon be seeing 17- or 20-point favorites in the NFL.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8230; &#8220;I can guarantee every book on the planet needs the Dolphins to either win or cover against the Saints. But that&#8217;s just preventing a nightmare,&#8221; Kornegay said, as the Saints stormed back and the books&#8217; nightmare worsened.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Contact reporter Matt Youmans at myoumans@reviewjournal.com or 702-387-2907.</p>

<p>På den tiden jag höll på med mycket arbitrage, var <a title="Pinnacle" href="http://www.pinnaclesports.com/default.asp?language=Swedish&#38;amp;LExt=swe&#38;amp;refer=xteamprof" target="_blank">Pinnacle</a> den klart med förekommande bookmakern. Enligt min och mångas uppfattning Rolls-Roycen bland bookmakers. Oddsen justeras ofta, men i väldigt små steg. En av få spelbolag som inte limiterar dig när du vinner för mycket.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Orice verdict e vremelnic dar cateva impresii pot fi impartasite. In fond, s-a scurs deja o treime din turul Premier League 2009-2010.</p>
<p>Incep prin a reaminti un paragraf din editorialul &#8220;Fotbalul, pe locurile 14-15&#8243;, pe care-l semnam in Fotbal Vest in luna iulie, pe cand prim-divizionarele abia isi incepusera pregatirile precompetitionale, si in care le aminteam pe Portsmouth, Bolton Wanderers si Hull City drept ocupante ale locurilor retrogradante, 18, 19 si 20, la finele actualei editii, in mai 2010: &#8220;<em>Culmea ironiei e ca si la anul focurile retrogradarii ii vor perpeli probabil tot pe antrenorii englezi iar de-ar fi sa ma dau bookmaker pentru o zi, le-as trece pe Portsmouth, Bolton si Hull pe lista neagra, prima fie ea si preluata de un bogatas arab, dupa modelul de la Man. City, cu tot cu petrodolarii sai dar fara a fi fost pus la “testul de prestanta” in ceea ce priveste standardele Premier League. Adica Hart, Megson si Brown, asta daca luna mai ii va regasi in posturi. Dar nu incercati si Dumneavoastra acasa, sa aruncati bani pe aceasta speculatie cu cele trei, caci s-ar putea sa va arda. Am presupus si eu, asa…&#8221;</em></p>

Momentan, datele problemei nu s-au schimbat, nou-promovata luand in piept elita si batand deja trei cluburi la zero, acasa, pe Turf Moor. Iar la ultima ocazie, gratie unui varf adus de la o recenta participanta in Cupa UEFA, dar acum doar amarata cu zero puncte in coada. &#34;Pompey&#34;...</p></div>
<p>Dar nu la cele trei ma voi referi, ci la nou-promovata Burnley Football Club, principala candidata a bookmakers la retrogradare, conform cotelor dinaintea inceperii stagiunii. Caci Burnley a infirmat sambata proverbul cu ulciorul care nu merge de trei ori la apa, invingand din nou acasa, in primul joc al rundei a sasea, televizat pe Sky Sports, 3-1 cu Sunderland.</p>
<p>Turf Moor, datorita capacitatii sale restranse, a inregistrat cea mai mica asistenta a etapei din elita, doar 20.196 spectatori, insa&#8230; ce mai spectatori. Vorba unui suporter al visiniu-albastrilor, fanii au cantat si scandat la nesfarsit, o ora si jumatate plus prelungiri si la lovituri de departajare, in editia trecuta, cand viitoarea nou-promovata a descins pe Stamford Bridge, a remizat cu Chelsea, si finalmente a eliminat-o din Cupa Ligii, in urma suturilor de pe punctul cu var. A fost o campanie a competitiei K.O. in care Burnley nu doar a facut 1-1 acasa la Chelsea, dar le-a invins la Turf Moor si pe Fulham, Arsenal si Tottenham, fiind eliminata abia de ultima, in prelungirile mansei a doua a semifinalei, datorita golurilor in plus marcate in deplasare. Pazea, vine Burnley!</p>
<p>Fanii sunt acum si mai entuziasti, si mai calzi, ridicandu-se, aidoma echipei, la nivelul elitist al Premier League si percepand insemnatatea momentului. Incredibil dar adevarat, dupa 6 etape, doar Chelsea lui Ancelotti, lidera fara punct risipit, are o linie de clasament superioara lui Burnley in meciurile de pe teren propriu.</p>
<p>Burnley avea sa debuteze in Premier League cu un dus rece la Stoke, promovata de anul trecut, esec care o punea deja sub lupa scepticilor. Dar trupa lui Owen Coyle a strans imediat randurile, inregistrand doua succese de moral, pe teren propriu, in decurs de o saptamana de la debutul campionatului. A fost mai intai acel neverosimil 1-0 cu Manchester United, cand campioana a ratat inclusiv un penalty in jocul de la mijloc de saptamana, iar apoi un alt 1-0, tot in dauna unei &#8221;europene&#8221;, Everton Liverpool, si ea &#8220;inghetata&#8221; la punctul alb de danezul din poarta nou-promovatei, Jensen. Saha l-a copiat pe Rooney iar Burnley a strans 6 puncte din doua meciuri creditate cu&#8230; &#8220;2&#8243;.</p>
<p>Sambata, Burnley s-a impus in acel gen de confruntare tipic pentru echipele amenintate de retrogradare. Un meci de&#8230; 6 puncte. Sunderland e in aceeasi luntre si, doar invingand formatii mai mult sau mai putin de calibrul ei, Burnley isi poate consolida postura in elita. Restul, gen victorii contra campioanei en-titre, sunt bonusuri mai mult decat binevenite, excelente pentru moral, insa nu neaparat jocuri deseori amintite drept fiind de 6 puncte.</p>
<p>Remarcabil e si faptul ca Owen Coyle n-a facut nu stiu ce achizitii, in mare aceeasi jucatori ce au urcat treapta in elita, via &#8211; Wembley, purtand falnic stindardul clubului din Lancashire si in Premier League. Tot Wade Elliott, marcatorul unicului gol din finala play-off, 1-0 contra lui Sheffield United, s-a aflat la originea primului gol de sambata, smulgand un penalty, si tot scotianul Alexander, veteranul capitan, si-a reconfirmat precizia de la 11 metri.</p>
<p>Abia dupa pauza, cand era introdus in minutul 57, un nou recrut a pus si el umarul la redistantarea lui Burnley. David Nugent, abia reintors in Lancashire, dar nu la Preston, unde isi facea un nume cu care debuta cu gol in nationala Angliei, ci la micuta Burnley, si-a redescoperit pofta de gol pierduta la Portsmouth, reusind o dubla de efect, cu capul si cu stangul, din pirueta, dinafara careului: 3-1. Lui Nugent li se adauga fundasii Mears, sosit de la Derby County, via &#8211; Marseille, unde a fost imprumutat, si africanul Bikey, un munte de om ce n-a inghitit ratarea revenirii in elita, cu Reading.</p>
<p>Coyle a adaugat ici-colea, prin partile esentiale, dar colectivul unit ce a surprins Albionul, promovand la mustata, continua sa minuneze, pastrand procentajul maxim la Turf Moor. O fi arena cea mai mica din elita, dar vocea suporterilor se face auzita. Iar idolii raspund pe masura, cu 1-0 si 3-1.</p>
<p>In contrast, un club care era egalat in prelungiri de AC Milan, in 27 noiembrie 2008, intr-un joc din grupele Cupei UEFA, n-a acumulat inca nici un punct in Premier League si a incasat o medie de doua goluri pe meci in primele 6 etape. Portsmouth, caci despre &#8220;Pompey&#8221; este vorba, s-a despartit si de sus-amintitul Nugent, care nici nu figura in acel 2-2 de la Fratton Park, ce a fost&#8230; 2-0 pana in minutul 84. Atunci au iesit la rampa Ronaldinho si Inzaghi.</p>
<p>Altii insa, dintre care cei mai remarcabili ar fi Johnson, ajuns la Liverpool, Distin, la concitadina Everton, Crouch, dupa Redknapp, la Spurs, ori Davis, inhatat de Bolton, au parasit Titanicul din portul Portsmouth, la fel ca veteranul Sol Campbell, neutilizat in acel joc de referinta cu milanezii, dar care, transferandu-se tocmai in liga a patra, la Notts County, trupa avandu-l drept director pe Eriksson, a dat masura completa a necesitatii sariturii de pe punte. Tony Adams, la carma contra rosso-nerilor, si-a frant si el de-atunci gatul, iar Paul Hart, inlocuitorul, a tesut cu chiu cu vai plasa mentinerii in elita insa nu mai are solutii si pe 2009-2010.</p>
<p>Portsmouth s-a anuntat a fi drept o victima previzibila, iar startul ei confirma temerile, nu datorita numelui lipsit de sonoritate de pe banca tehnica, Paul Hart, nume ce a atras in intersezon recruti pe masura, jucatori de nivelul doi, cu care doar poti sfarsi sub elita, ci mai ales datorita instabilitatii de la conducerea clubului, destabilizat de interminabilele discutii din cursul verii legate de preluarea gruparii de catre un consortiu arab. Pestele de la cap se impute si incertitudinea de la Fratton Park se rasfrange evident asupra rezultatelor din teren. Cele doua coordonate sunt inseparabile, orice delimitari ar vrea unii sa faca&#8230;</p>
<p>Portsmouth e macar la&#8230; zero, insa vecina &#8211; rivala de pe coasta sudica, Southampton, sta chiar mai rau. Pornind cu un handicap de zece puncte, din nou pe motive legate de imputirea pestelui de la cap, &#8220;Sfintii&#8221; abia au inregistrat primul succes stagional, 2-0 acasa cu Yeovil Town, in fata a peste 19.000 suporteri, pe St. Mary&#8217;s, oaspetii declarandu-se insa dezgustati de acordarea celor doua penaltyuri din care noul recrut Rickie Lambert a asigurat primele puncte alb-rosilor.</p>
<p>Macar Portsmouth e inca in Premier League, cu amintirea unui joc cu milanezii, in Cupa UEFA, acum nici zece luni. Insa Southampton, adversara Stelei in Cupa UEFA, in toamna lui 2003, e lanterna rosie a ligii a treia, si desi handicapul e surmontabil, &#8220;Sfintii&#8221; fiind la -2 si deci la opt puncte in urma unei clasate pe o pozitie salvatoare, si anume tocmai Yeovil, exemplele nefericite din editia trecuta pot pune sub semnul intrebarii capacitatea clubului de a raspunde adversitatii. Luton s-a scufundat, torpilata de cataroiul din start, -30 puncte. Altele s-au salvat&#8230;</p>
<p>Dar sa se fi inclinat oare Anglia aidoma Titanicului, cu coasta sudica luand apa? Nu de alta dar si &#8220;verzii&#8221; de la Plymouth Argyle, fara succes in 8 etape, proptesc ierarhia ligii a doua&#8230;</p>
<p>Unii se scufunda, nou-promovata Burnley exulta. Si nu pare a fi doar un foc de paie. Cata vreme &#8220;visiniii&#8221; vor invinge si tine la distanta adversare directe, &#8220;ambarcatiuni usoare&#8221;, gen Birmingham City, si ea o nou-promovata, viitoare oaspete pe Turf Moor, trupa lui Coyle va putea spera la supravietuire. In fond, calculele spun ca si 39 de puncte pot fi suficiente, iar Burnley a strans deja noua.</p>
<p>Urmatoarele luni doar vor confirma (sau infirma) speculatiile rezultate din primele confruntari. Dar Burnley pare a avea vant bun. Si poate ca proximul derby local, la vecina de pe Ewood Park, Blackburn Rovers, va aduce clubului fondator al The Football League, participant la acea memorabila prima editie de campionat din 1888, si primele puncte externe. Ce ziceti, Alexander si Nugent? Se poate&#8230;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>È già tempo di derby in Serie A e i bookie inglesi cominciano a fare previsioni: oltremanica si gioca su eventuali doppiette nelle classicissime del campionato italiano. Derby di Milano alle porte, nerazzurri favoriti per il doppio colpo a 5,00, i 6 punti al Milan invece si giocano a 9,00. Inter avanti anche nel doppio confronto con la Juventus, Mourinho vincente due volte su Ferrara è a quota 6,00, l&#8217;ipotesi contraria pagherebbe 8 contro 1. In lavagna anche il derby della capitale e della lanterna Genova, ma i quotisti considerano solo l&#8217;en plein di Roma e Genoa, entrambi offerti a quota 6,00.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Stephen Maguire, <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/snooker">snooker</a>&#8217;s world No2, and another Scottish player, Jamie Burnett, were today detained by Strathclyde police and questioned over alleged irregular betting patterns during a UK Championship match. The players were released without charge.</p>
<p>The force&#8217;s economic crime unit said that a report would be submitted to the procurator fiscal&#8217;s office on completion of its inquiries into the game between the Scots in Telford on 15 December last year. The first-round match, which was subject to investigations by World Snooker and the Gambling Commission, was won 9-3 by Maguire. He took the match after Burnett failed to pot a black that would have reduced his score to 8-4.</p>
<p>Before the match, World Snooker was contacted by bookmakers reporting suspicious betting patterns on the outcome. They said there was heavy gambling on a 9-3 scoreline. Both men strenuously deny any wrongdoing and have pledged to co-operate with any investigations.</p>

<p>  <strong>Don   Vito  Genovese</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://af11.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/gambling-bust.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2345" title="gambling bust" src="http://af11.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/gambling-bust.jpg" alt="gambling bust" width="397" height="418" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Gambling bust</strong> </p>
<div>
<p><span style="font-size:x-small;font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:small;">If you are looking to open up an online gambling establishment in the United States, New York is clearly not the best State to try and circumvent the law.</p>
<p>Once again, an 86-count indictment was filed in Queens, New York against 11 individual, with one of the defendants still believe to be a fugitive located in Costa Rica.</p>
<p>One of the main defendants, James Rossi, 49, is believed to has mafia ties to the Genovese crime family.</span><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:small;">The operation took in over 13 million dollars in wagers over a 10-month period by accepting sports wagers, primarily football, basketball, baseball and hockey. They set up a flimsy wire room in Costa Rica to try and circumvent the wire act through a website whose URL was called </span><a href="http://www.perfectwager.com/"><span style="font-size:small;">www.perfectwager.com</span></a><span style="font-size:small;">. Customers were able to dial into a toll free number to place bets.</p>
<p>All of the defendants were charged with the violating the RICO act, money laundering, conspiracy, just to name a few.</p>
<p>One of the defendants namely Joseph R. Sofia, 63, is a retired New York city police officer, one of New York&#8217;s Finest&#8211;NAWT!</p>
<p>Between September 25, 3007 and April 10, 2009, the defendants accepted wagers ranging from $200 to $4,000 on a game.</p>

<a href="https://nl.unibet.com/">Bookmaker</a>: ook Feyenoord mengt zich met 1 Been in kampioensstrijd<br />
Ajax en PSV strijden om de schaal, Suarez topscorer, RKC Waalwijk degradeert</p>
<p><strong>Malta, 29 juli 2009</strong> – Ajax en PSV strijden in het voetbalseizoen 2009-2010, dat aanstaande vrijdag van start gaat, om het kampioenschap. Volgens de noteringen op <a href="https://nl.unibet.com/">nl.unibet.com</a> is het een gelijkopgaande strijd (allebei 2,90:1). De huidige kampioen, AZ, komt niet verder dan een notering van 4,25:1. Ook de strijd om de <a href="https://nl.unibet.com/betting">KNVB-beker</a> zal gaan tussen Amsterdam en Eindhoven (notering: 4,00:1). Maakt Suarez dan het verschil? Hij wordt getipt als topscorer van de eredivisie (notering: 4,00:1). Op de voet gevolgd door de topscorer van afgelopen seizoen, AZ-spits El-Hamdaoui (4,25:1). Degradatiekandidaat bij uitstek is nieuwkomer RKC Waalwijk (2,70:1).</p>
<p>En hoe zit het met het Been(hakker)-effect in Rotterdam? Volgens <a href="https://nl.unibet.com/">Unibet</a> mengt Feyenoord zich met 1 Been in de kampioensstrijd met een notering van 12,00:1. Zondag zal Mario het in Rotterdam opnemen tegen zijn ‘andere oude liefde’: NEC. Daarbij heeft Feyenoord de beste papieren in handen om de eerste drie punten binnen te slepen.</p>
<p>‘Schaal’ naar Van Gaal, Real ook met Ronaldo géén kampioen<br />
Ook de competities in Engeland, Duitsland en Spanje staan op het punt van beginnen. Grote favoriet om de Premier League te winnen, is wederom Manchester United (notering: 2,85:1 ). En bij onze oosterburen gaat de ‘schaal’ naar Van Gaal. Bayern Munchen wordt getipt als dé kampioen (1,60:1). En ondanks de komst van de man van 94 miljoen, Ronaldo, wordt Real Madrid (2,10:1) geen kampioen van Spanje. Barcelona zal volgens de noteringen op <a href="https://nl.unibet.com/">nl.unibet.com</a> de titel prolongeren (1,85:1).</p>

<p>It was <a title="Favre to stay retired" href="http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-vikings-favre&#38;prov=ap&#38;type=lgns">reported</a> today that Favre will stay retired. This is bad news for Minnesota Viking fans.</p>
<p>ikings coach Brad Childress confirmed to The Associated Press in a text</p>
<div id="attachment_357" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 225px"><a href="http://www.wagerstreet.com?RefId=670"><img class="size-medium wp-image-357" title="brett-favre-passing" src="http://regawworld.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/brett-favre-passing.jpg?w=215" alt="Favre is staying retired!" width="215" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Favre is staying retired!</p></div>
<p>message Tuesday that the three-time MVP quarterback for the <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/gnb/;_ylt=ArmrvRJD4CfGSKKvAyFFjGMdsLYF">Green Bay Packers</a> would not join his team when training camp opens later this week. Favre’s decision was first reported by The Star Tribune on its Web site.</p>
<p>Childress told the paper Favre did not want to put himself through the grind of a 19th NFL season. Favre himself did not immediately offer a comment from Hattiesburg, Miss., where he worked out with high school players this summer in a bid to keep in shape for a potential return to the NFL.</p>
<p>“It was a rare and unique opportunity to consider adding not only a future Hall of Fame quarterback but one that is very familiar with our system and division,” Childress said in a statement on the team’s Web site. “That does not detract from the team that we have.”</p>
<p>So will the Vikings go after Michael Vick next? I think they should as noted in my <a href="http://regawworld.wordpress.com/2009/07/28/michael-vick-reinstated-by-nfl-but-who-wants-him/">last article</a>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>It was <a title="Vick is reinstated" href="http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=Aq64G1AxgmK_os8.j.N2xB9DubYF?slug=jc-vicksentiment072709&#38;prov=yhoo&#38;type=lgns">announced today</a> that Michael Vick will be reinstated to the NFL with some conditions.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.betjmaff.com/aw.aspx?B=26&#38;A=66&#38;Task=Click" target="_Top"><img src="http://www.betjmaff.com/aw.aspx?B=26&#38;A=66&#38;Task=Get" border="0" alt="Betjamaica the players paradise" width="468" height="60" /></a></p>
<p>Vick can take part in practices, team meetings and preseason games but will have to wait until October to play regular season games. Like all arrests in the NFL and player suspensions there are plenty of opinions on what have should have happened to Vick. I for one applaud the commissioner for this move and think it works on all levels and for everyone involved.</p>
<div id="attachment_351" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.wagerstreet.com?RefId=670"><img class="size-medium wp-image-351" title="michael-vick" src="http://regawworld.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/michael-vick.jpg?w=300" alt="What NFL Team will take a shot at signing Vick?" width="300" height="206" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">What NFL Team will take a shot at signing Vick?</p></div>
<p>The league also <a title="Dungy helps Vick" href="http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/07/27/nfl-conditionally-reinstates-vick/">announced</a> that former Bucs and Colts coach Tony Dungy has agreed to work as an advisor and mentor to Vick. This will give Michael Vick some clout with someone as classy as Tony Dungy on his side and may just convince a team to take a shot on him. Here are the teams that I think will take a shot at Vick.</p>
<p>The Falcons, Jets, Cowboys, and the Giants came out and said they don’t want any part of the troubled QB but who will?</p>
<p><a title="Odds on 49ers to win!" href="http://www.wagerstreet.com?RefId=670"><strong>San Francisco 49ers-</strong></a>The 49ers have been on the verge of being a playoff team but have had problems with the QB position. They could slowly get Vick into playing shape and give him a shot if the usual QB’s in SF flop.</p>
<p><a title="Odds on Pats to win!" href="http://www.wagerstreet.com?RefId=670">New England Patriots-</a>Well Tom Brady is the man so Vick would get limited playing time and they could give him plenty of time to work into a system. Bill Belichick has a reputation for molding troubled players like Randy Moss and making them stars again.</p>
<p><a title="Odds on Bucs to win!" href="http://www.wagerstreet.com?RefId=670">Tampa Bay Bucs-</a>Tony Dungy has some roots in Tampa Bay and the QB spot down there is not exactly settled. He got talk management into giving Vick a shot with the promise that Dungy could keep him in check.</p>
<p><a title="Odds On Oakland to win!" href="http://www.wagerstreet.com?RefId=670">Oakland Raiders-</a>Why not? He is the perfect character for the team and the fans and Al Davis has the rocks to pull it off.</p>
<p><a title="Odds on Vikings to win!" href="http://www.wagerstreet.com?RefId=670">Minnesota Vikings-</a>If they don’t get Brett Favre then Michael Vick could have a shot at playing in purple but that would be if Brett says no.</p>
<p>Regardless where he plays it will be interesting to see how that team handles the negative press and Michael Vick handles himself as he returns to the NFL.<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img src="http://a.wordpress.com/avatar/f1punter-48.jpg" alt="" width="48" height="48" align="left" />When the Formula 1 circus last rolled up to the Nürburgring, the previous ten visits had seen the Safety Car deployed just twice. Once in the wet of 1999 and once in the dry of 2006. The top price for a no-show was 8/11 and I was happy to take that.  Unfortunately the rain came again and following a crazy opening to the the race, by the third lap my bet was up in smoke.<!--moreContinue reading...--></p>
<p>It has played host to the Grand Prix of Luxembourg and the European Grand Prix in the past, but this year – badged as the German Grand prix – the modern circuit retains the same characteristics: wide run-off areas and half an eye on safety. The track&#8217;s layout should mean that it is difficult to cause Safety Car inducing blockages.</p>
<p>Weather forecasting has always struck me as more art than science, with all the creative licence that entails. Long-distance forecasting even more so. But today at least, Weather.com is predicting a zero-chance of precipitation this weekend. That would be nice.</p>
<p>Perhaps bookmakers have been swayed by the fact that Bernd Maylander has been called in to action on his last two visits here. Perhaps, by the fact that most of the betting public prefer to bet on a positive outcome rather than a negative one. Or perhaps it is through no more than lazy odds-compiling and being content with a margin. Whatever the cause, all of the firms quoting appear to have priced the market as follows:</p>
<p><strong>Safety Car to be Deployed</strong><br />
5/6 Yes<br />
5/6 No</p>
<p>Even ignoring the wet weather factor, my records (which go back to 1997) show that only three Safety Cars have been deployed in six-hundred and ninety-four laps of racing here. I&#8217;m happy to take 5/6 that we&#8217;ll get through another sixty without one.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>By <a href="http://www.deadlinescotland.co.uk/" target="_blank">Paul Thornton</a></p>
<p>A MAN has been jailed for the knifed hold-up of a bookmaker shop after the vicious robbery was caught on CCTV.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-6452" title="Sheriff court stock pic" src="http://deadlinescotland.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/sheriff-court-stock-pic.jpg" alt="Sheriff court stock pic" width="196" height="298" /></p>
<p>Terrified Alexander French handed over hundreds of pounds of takings after hooded Stephen Rowan flashed a blade at him.</p>
<p>The 50-year-old thief chucked a bag at Mr French and demanded that he fill it with money during the heist at a <a href="http://www.coral.co.uk/sb.go?page=index&#38;lang=20&#38;sid=20" target="_blank">Coral</a> store in Edinburgh.</p>
<p>Rowan made good his escape but CCTV images were used to help track him down and police found he had been boasting of the attack to pals.</p>
<p>At <a href="http://www.scotcourts.gov.uk/locations/index.asp?crt=edi&#38;val=contact" target="_blank">Edinburgh Sheriff Court </a>he was jailed for two years after admitting assault and robbery.</p>
<p>The court heard how Rowan had barged into the betting shop in Great Junction Street on March 26 this year.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Fiscal depute John Kirk said Mr French – a Coral employee – had just finished serving a customer when he was confronted by the knife wielding thug.</p>
<p>Mr Kirk said: “Shortly after midday Mr French was working in the Coral Bookmakers in Great Junction Street. He had just finished serving a customer when the accused appeared in front of him.</p>
<p>“He was wearing a hood tied tightly round his head and he threw a plastic bag at Mr French and said ‘fill it up’.”</p>
<p>Mr Kirk said Mr French noticed a four-inch silver blade in Rowan’s left hand and had no option but to hand over £280 in the bag before calling police.</p>
<p>Officers investigating circulated CCTV images which were taken in the shop and days later two policeman investigating another matter were told Rowan had been bragging about the robbery.</p>
<p>When they raided his home they found the knife concerned and the clothes that he had been wearing and Rowan admitted his crime during interview.</p>
<p>He claims he needed the cash to fund a 20-year heroin addiction that has cost him his family and asked that he be considered for a drug treatment order to battle the problem.</p>
<p>But Sheriff Derrick McIntyre told him: “If you go around producing a knife and threatening people for money you pay the punishment.”</p>
<p>Sheriff McIntyre sentenced Rowan to two years in custody, which he backdated to April when he was first held over the robbery.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Nu multi sunt englezii care ii cunosc foarte bine regulile. Iar putini sunt cei care stiu in amanunt]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Nu multi sunt englezii care ii cunosc foarte bine regulile. Iar putini sunt cei care stiu in amanuntime regulamentul. E o procesiune cat ziua de lunga de aruncari din alergare, de la punct fix, al unei mingi ca de oina, spre adversarul cu bata din echipa adversa. Meciurile sale test sunt programate pe durata a 5 zile, depind de conditiile meteorologice si de lumina la amurg, sunt cu pauze de pranz si ceai, reunesc si jucatori purtatori de burtica-marsupiu aproape ca la golf, care, fie vorba intre noi, nu-i un sport ci un moft, si a fost inventat de englezi fara a se fi raspandit, aidoma fotbalului, la scara mondiala.</p>
<p>Cricketul are un cerc restrans de practicanti si tari competitoare dar are propria Cupa Mondiala. Iar pentru cresterea spectaculozitatii sale, are doua versiuni &#8220;prescurtate&#8221;, si anume One Day Internationals, jocurile decise intr-o zi si nu in 5, respectiv The Twenty20es, in care numarul de aruncari si loviri a mingii, de fiecare parte, e si mai redus. Ei bine, in acest weekend, in Londra si Albion, a pornit la drum Cupa Mondiala a celei de-a doua variante. World Twenty20 Series.</p>
<p>Anglia, tara de origine a cricketului, nu intre favorite, ci cu 10/1 cota de castigare a trofeului, dupa experte ca India si Africa de Sud. Australienii, nasii englezilor nu doar la cricket, sunt inca vazuti in lumea acestui sport drept cei mai tari din parcare, iar vecinilor neo-zeelandezi le-a crescut si lor recent cota. In general, se reunesc cam 12-15 natiuni, in majoritate din tarile Commonwealth, de exemplu cu Pakistan si Indiile de Vest, din Caraibe, dovedindu-se mereu reprezentative redutabile, dar cu una ca Bangladesh fiind carne de tun, in ciuda granitei cu experta Indie. Puritanii jocului iti vor spune insa ca varianta Twenty20 e doar un surogat ieftin si nu ofera masura abilitatii jucatorilor, motiv pentru care nu toate formatiile de top se regasesc in acelasi careu de asi si in &#8220;prescurtare&#8221;. Din pacate, in cazul Angliei, Albionul nu e intre favorite nici in testele propriu-zise, nici in variantele sale prescurtate. Ceea ce s-a mai dovedit o data inca de la startul ostilitatilor, si nu oriunde, ci la Lord&#8217;s, pe terenul gazda al Federatiei Engleze de Cricket.</p>
<p>Lord&#8217;s e o minune arhitectonica, avand gazon plusat si numeroase tribune cu loje care mai de care, unde sampania si caviarul curg valuri, intr-o zona cu tocuri inalte a Londrei, aproape de Muzeul Sherlock Holmes din Baker Street. Iar cricketul, trebuie subliniat, ramane un bastion al claselor macar medii, fiind in trecut un sport al straturilor dominante ale societatii. Poate ca, fiind apanajul doar unor anumite structuri sociale, de aceea a si ramas intr-un cerc restrans, neraspandindu-se pe glob in randul maselor, aidoma popularului fotbal.</p>
<p>Dar sa revenim la World Twenty20 Series. Caci in cricket pana si unele ca Scotia si Irlanda, verisoarele&#8230; , sunt oarecum niste intruse, fara o traditie solida in cricket si fara palmares. Si se intampla ca irlandezii, desi sa fi figurat la Campionatul Mondial propriu-zis de cricket, sa nu participe la actuala competitie. Scotienii sunt, dar cu sanse mici, iar cu sanse iluzorii s-au prezentat olandezii. Olanda la cricket?!?</p>
<p>Nici vorba de portocale mecanice. Poate olandezi zburatori. Recuperatori de bani, angajati in industria publicitatii ori pentru Burger King, schiori-coboratori, acestia ar fi cativa dintre olandezii care au descins vineri seara in sacrul templu al cricketului nu doar englez, Lord&#8217;s din Londra. Ei bine, dupa o cavalcada de simboluri, nume si cifre in combinatii de neinteles pentru un neavizat, si care sunt parte componenta a oricarei transmisii televizate a jocului, partida de deschidere Anglia &#8211; Olanda s-a incheiat cu 162-5, ca scor al englezilor, la 163-6, ca rezultat al portocaliilor, si asta in favoarea Olandei. La chiar ultima minge a meciului, Olanda a smuls victoria, la Lord&#8217;s, in dauna Angliei.</p>
<p>Albionul a mai fost el umilit la cricket in ultimii ani, fie cu cateva esecuri surpriza, fie fiind &#8220;demolati&#8221; categoric de adversari traditionali, dar niciodata n-au suferit umilinta de a fi infranti de niste novice, si inca in &#8220;buricul&#8221; acestui sport, pe terenul de referinta al England Cricket Board.</p>
<p>Am urmarit jocul intre englezi, in paralel cu lansarea unei seri de karaoke si cu DJ, dintr-un pub pe nume Duke of Edinburgh. Cand gluma s-a ingrosat, localnicii au inceput sa celebreze orice minge buna a Albionului sarind extaziati de pe scaune, de parca ar fi jucat mingile cheie din celebrele Ashes Tests cu rivalii australieni, si poate pana si Ducele de Edinburgh s-a rasucit in mormant in momentele cand, dupa ultima minge irosita de inaltul englez Broad, olandezii au invadat Lord&#8217;s intr-o efervescenta a bucuriei triumfului la potou, in ultima secunda, un triumf neasteptat si urias prin proportiile surprizei.</p>
<p>Englezii, batuti in propriul fief, la propriul lor joc, de niste amatori inediti ai cricketului, cotati cu ultima sansa la turneu&#8230; &#8220;E ca si cum am fi batuti de Kazakhstan la fotbal&#8221; l-a scapat gura pe un englez, uitand ca in seara urmatoare Albionul urma sa evolueze tocmai la Astana. E ca si cum unui turc i s-ar oferi o catedra a Academiei Romane, intru predarea lectiilor de limba romana.</p>
<p>World Twenty20 Series va continua, cu sau fara Anglia dupa faza grupelor. Intotdeauna, tara gazda ofera un plus de interes pentru intregul competitiei si iesirea sa din cursa ciunteste din efervescenta competitiei. Dar nici englezii nu sunt profeti la cricket in tara lor. Guvernul se destrama, institutii financiare s-ar fi topit fara a fi nationalizate, lira sterlina plonjeaza, lanturi de magazine isi pun lacatul, somajul e in crestere, multe nume si firme se discrediteaza la darea deoparte a valului, si restul companiilor sunt vandute unor consortii straine si poate sfarsesc, aidoma altora, prin a disparea sau a fi falimentare, societatea civila in general, ca si coeziune, e de cativa ani intr-un proces de evidenta destramare, restul sporturilor nu merg nici ele prea bine, Olimpiada 2012 pare incet-incet a se transforma si ea intr-un fiasco financiar, iar acum, uite, &#8230; cricketul. Albionul, invins acasa de&#8230; Olanda!</p>
<p>Se poate mai rau? Se poate mai jos? O-ho-ho, si inca cum. Bineinteles! Consolarea a urmat a doua zi, cu Anglia invingatoare in Kazakhstan, 4-0. Albionul e ca si calificat la Cupa Mondiala de fotbal din Africa de Sud, de la anul. Ca o observatie, si doar atat, ca doar Anglia e mai abitir difuzata in Romania decat in insula, nu multi au fost jucatorii proveniti din &#8220;careul de asi&#8221;. Green (West Ham) &#8211; Johnson (Portsmouth), Upson (West Ham), Terry (Chelsea), A Cole (Chelsea) &#8211; Walcott (Arsenal), Gerrard (Liverpool), Lampard (Chelsea), Barry (Manchester City) &#8211; Rooney (Man Utd), Heskey (Aston Villa).
