Finally the Greyhound Derby winner for 2016 will be made known this coming Saturday. What remains uncertain is exactly which of the remaining 48 contestants will be the crowned the winner. The competitions held last Saturday brought life in every possible way through the various emotions. This was one of the more straightforward restorations of the Derby. Ballymac Matt, who is the Irish Derby winner, was required to deliver the first crucial moment; as he came flying out of the traps to record a figure of 28.05 with Droopys Latina following closely behind. Kelly Macari’s dog which was eliminated in the opening round last year proved that the race was just a bad day at the office and the bookmakers certainly ran for cover.

Lenson Panda ran down the back straight to the enthusiastic encouragement of the crowd. This made the time seem so short. Unbelievably, the joy did not last for a very long time as Lenson broke a pawn, and the well-loved Jaytee Spartacus consigned himself to elimination as he cannoned into the afflicted runner. Lenny Ponder’s dog has however gone through a successful operation on his afflicted pawn and will be able to go through another day. Just like Premier Fantasy who came years before him, he left the Derby with the impossible question of what could have come out of the race. Lenson Sanchez won the race in the last second, as associates were trying to gain a spot of consolation. However, the crowd was glued to what was happening behind them.

Jaytee Jet was stopped short at the first turn making him lose all his balance and he found himself almost off the track. He was forced to join Badmoonrising on the line for disqualification. Farloe Cody was evicted on Tuesday but a run-off was not needed as both runners justly took their places in the drum. Eden the Kid pushed himself to the ante-post preference for the Derby after he succeeded on Thursday evening. He has made several changes on his running style since he covered the finals last year but he has not stopped liking Wimbledon. He is due to meet up with Droopys Roddick for a meeting on Saturday.

There have been nine Irish dogs progressing to the stage, where Jaytee Dutch did not seem to have a chance at qualifying. The most famous greyhounds in training is the Oaks winner, where Mark Wallis bitch secured her place in the third round. Only three will qualify to Tuesday’s quarter-finals.

A report published by the Las Vegas Review journal states that the Nevada sports betting handle is estimated to reach over $5 billion dollars in 2016. This will be due to the record handle in March. The constant progress of Nevada sports betting has come at a time when legislators on Capitol Hill are starting to feel pressure as they prepare to amend the existing sports betting laws. A federal act put in place in 1992 restricts sports betting to very few states. Nevada is the only jurisdiction that allows the sports betting activity.

In March, the Sports Books in Nevada recorded an amount of $458 million in bets. This was after recording $363 million in total bets on February and around $450 million that was gambled in January. This was a previous record amount. In 2015, Nevada Sports books recorded $4.2 billion in wager amounts which was the greatest amount recorded for Silver State casino industry. This was the only time that the handle ever went further than $4 billion. 5.47% of the betting amount was won by Nevada and the $231.8 million in revenue was the greatest amount for the sports books. The sports betting locations had increased from 190 in the previous year to 196 in 2015.

In total the gaming revenue for Nevada was $11,114,081,000 where sports betting had 2.095 of the total gaming win. Research from the University of Nevada Las Vegas showed that was one of the greatest revenues ever made. The sports betting’s increase has come at a period in which sports win as a percentage of the cumulative Nevada casino industry is at the lowest level. Nevada gaming watchdogs and sports betting are looking for a way that gamblers can use their online betting accounts to some degree when they are outside of Silver State. This is in preparation for a possible future of authorized and controlled gambling countrywide.

Sports’ betting is becoming acceptable in many places and the NFL quest of taking his team to Las Vegas has led the NFL to recognize that their ant-gambling position is changing.

American football with the help of the NFL will be globally played. They are soon to set foot in the United Kingdom and also make a return to Mexico City in the course of this year. The NFL association has hopes to extend the American football to Germany in 2017 and in China in 2018. ZiggyAnsah who is from Ghana also has hopes in extending the NFL in Africa. He spoke through the Detroit Lions’ official website where he said that he would love to see one of the NFL games played in Africa. He also stated that Africa has a lot of potential and that one day the NFL would be played on the African soil.

The British colonialism introduced soccer playing to Africa in the 19^th century. It was spread through mission schools, military forces and railways. Football has become very popular with 15 energetic NFL players having links to Africa. Christian Okoye who is known as the Nigerian Nightmare and a former Kansas City Chiefs power runner was the first player to ever represent Africa in the NFL. He became known as an inspiration to many young African athletes in 1980. ZiggyAnsah confessed that there were very many Africans participating in the NFL games. He also said that the game was quickly growing in Africa as there were very many young people interested in learning to play the game.

ZiggyAnsah also stated that the young players coming from Africa were also interested in playing for NFL. There are 15 players who are listed to take part in the NFL and 35 more that are known to have experience in playing for the NFL. They are also believed to be from Africa according to the research carried out by NFL. However, it is unfortunate that the NFL is not yet ready to hold a game in Africa in the near future. Though, ZiggyAnsah’s dreams of the NFL being hosted in Africa might come to pass in the next generation if the interest in the game by Africans continues to increase.

Chris Smalling has been selected as the perfect England player by bettingexpert.com. This conclusion came shortly after the announcement of England’s Euro 2016 squad which was due earlier in the week. Every England international player from the last ten years was assessed by betting expert. The assessment showed that the ultimate footballer needs to be around 24 years of age, must have been born from South England, must have started playing his first international at 22 years of age, is right footed and has had three clubs, with the most dominant clubs being Liverpool, Leeds United or Chelsea.

The bettingexpert research has shown that 40% of the last 112 England players have had brown hair, while 36% have had dark brown eyes and the overall height has been 6’0”. Thus the Light-colored players who have hopes for the trip to the Euros have to consider visiting the hairstylists. Chris Smalling meets five key requirements that are; he was born in London, he is right footed, has dark brown eyes and he made his first England performance at the age of 22 years in the year 2011. He is also has an average age of 24 years and he has performed for two of the required football clubs.

There are other nominees for the class of 2016, including Jordan Henderson who has met 5 of the required requirements, Danny Welbeck who has met 5 of them, Nathaniel Clyne(4), Adam Lallana(4), Tom Heaton(4), and Daniel Sturridge(4). Over the last ten years only players Shaun Wright-Philips and Alan Smith have come close to meeting the set criteria since they met over five key traits. The Chief Strategy Officer at Better Collective, Thomas HØgenhaven stated that they were looking for ways to help electorates make the most informed decisions in betting.

This is to mean that every needed aspect was to be looked into keenly through assessing the form, and looking at the trends and coming up with evidence of which bets provide real value. The fascinating thing about all these is that when players who meet these traits of England internationals are looked up they do not display the expected players. However, England players all have the same patterns overtime in terms of age, size, birthplace and looks. The research carried out identified various key aspects from 112 England players such as average age, height, hair color, eye color and the common birthplaces plus the past clubs each player has played for in previous years.

Chris Smalling is awaiting the final decision of whether he will be considered as England’s ultimate player.

This comes four years after Frankel retired at racing and he was one of the best horses to ever take part in horse racing. Frankel made his first racing performance as a stallion at Khalid Abdullah’s Banstead Manor stud where he sired 111 foals. In his racing years he always took the first position and he retired undefeated in his 14 start races. Cunco, who was the first of his offsprings will be the first to make it to the race tracks.
