It was a brilliant day for one client of Sky Bet after he miraculously won the Super 6 jackpot and pocketed a total of £250,000. The winner who goes by the name Owen Burrows is a 25 year old who resides in Cambridge. He apparently made a total of six FA Cup correct predictions that would see him accrue the substantial amount. He claimed that he wasn’t expecting all these games to go as he had predicted, it was like a dream come true for him.

The six games gave out total odds of 770,000/1. The games which he predicted were as follows, a 3-1 win of Arsenal over Sunderland, Stoke to win 2-1 away at Doncaster, Crystal Palace to beat Southampton by 2-1 margin, Manchester City to thrush Norwich by 3 goals to nil, West Ham to win by a solitary goal against Wolves while the same margin of win be awarded to Watford against Newcastle. To his surprise, all his prediction came out to reality as respective teams won by the same margin Owen had predicted.

After the amazing win, the Head of PR at Sky Bet, Sandro di Michele was the one who came out first to give a congratulation message to the lucky winner. He claimed that for the first time, a jackpot has been clinched via correct scores predictions of the FA Cup. It was a unique thing to happen and he dearly congratulated Mr. Owen on behalf of the entire Sky Bet team for his massive win.

He continued to claim that the lone strike by West Ham striker Nikica Jevalic proved to be the turning point for Mr. Owen who stood beyond all doubts to win £250,000 in a Super 6 selection. Forever, he will have the memories of that lone goal scored in Upton Park.

Since October, Jarryd Hayne has been in training for 49ers practice squad. This comes despite being among the 53-squad team for 49ers but would later be demoted to the practicing squad. The former Australian Rugby player was given the two months to have an expanded training on Football before making any entry in the pitch. His promotion followed an injury by guard Alex Boone who was placed among the reserves before he heals his knee. However, the D-day dawned for him and was in the match day squad to face Detroit Lions.

In their 32-17 loss, Hayne showed his amazing skills and was on the spotlight by making a total of 5 receptions and 9 carriers which total to 47 yards along the running back. This was inclusive for his outstanding 11 yard run that resulted positively with 49ers first touchdown. He also showed a classical five-yard reception but would later be pinned down by linebacker Tahir Whitehead.

During the preseason, Hayne was outstanding in all games making a number of appealing runs from his running back position and as a punt returner. This was however not the case at the beginning of the regular season for he made several fumbles with three punts where he lost one in his initial six games. Nonetheless, he finished with average returns of 9.5 yards. Injuries possessed by 49ers seem to give him a second opportunity to prove himself.

The team has a long list of injured players with the likes of Carlos Hyde suffering from a foot injury and Reggie Bush with a knee problem out for the rest of the season. Their replacements Shaun Draughn who made appearance in the first initial games got a knee problem while Mike Davis suffering from a hand injury is not expected back in the pitch no sooner than next week.

Promotion of Hayne comes at the ideal time despite the team having a new recruit DuJuan Harris who was signed last week as well as the services of running back Kendall gaskins. If Hayne is involved in various games after week 17, 49ers will have all the rights to possess him. If this doesn’t happen however, the team will accord him with reserve contract with hopes that he will make the cut for the official NFL squad when regular season resumes.

Irfan Ahmed a Hong Kong cricketer has been faced by corruption charges after it was alleged by the International Cricket Council that he violated the Article 2.4.2 of the ICC Anti-Corruption Code. Ahmed faces the same offence that was once conducted by New Zealand batsman Lou Vincent for fixing matches in England.

He will face a tribunal on charges of failure to report match fixing scandal after he was approached by a match fixer. If he is found guilty, he will be banned to around two to five years. This would be a big blow for the Indian Cricketer who was scheduled to lead his team in the upcoming Twenty20 Championship in March. It will be also a big blow for the Hong Kong cricket. Currently Ahmed is ranked 11^th in the World T20 rankings.

The ICC Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) claimed that it would continue investigating various bookies that have a tendency of targeting associate nation players for match fixing and other irregularities.

Another Hong Kong based player Kevin Egan of Australia claimed that Ahmed may not be faced by serious charges after it was noted that the only mistake he did was failing to report the match fixing irregularity that was conducted by a former Pakistan cricketer.

The named Pakistan cricketer is believed to be Nasem Gulzar. He is believed to be Ahmed mentor since the latter moved to Hong Kong. Gulzar has been faced by several match-fixing scandals and was once mentioned during a try of Chris Cairns who formerly represented New Zealand in international levels.

Generally, ICC has no mandate to make a comment in regards to the ACU matters. However, the head of investigative branch of ICC Ronnie Flanagan claimed that players should be on the lookout for these match fixers who are now targeting players earning low income and bribe them with substantial amounts to lose a specific game. He continued to claim that the cricket has been on the target and this may be a spread risk towards the success of domestic cricket games as well as low lever international matches.

Andrew Smith a onetime player with Butler basketball died on Tuesday morning at a tender age of 25. Smith was named the Academic All-American star in between 2010 and 2013. He would later be included in the Bulldog’s line up for the championship in 2010 and 2011. He made 38 appearances during the 2010/2011 season with 32 starts. It was during a game against University of Connecticut that Smith pulled down nine boards. After graduating in Butler, Smith made an appearance in oversee clubs.

Both Butler President James Danko and Butler Vice President/Director of Athletics Barry Collier remembered him not for his skills but for the kind person Andrew was. In a statement, the two claimed that more often than not Smith would care more to those around him more than he cared about a game. He had a human heart that portrayed the inside part of him and for that reason he will always be a Bulldog. The two were on the front line in praising Andrew for his courageous battle with cancer just like he fought hard to achieve his objectives at the court.

Others such as his former head coach at Butler Brad Stevens who is the current head coach at Boston Celtics paid Smith a visit last Thursday and he claimed in a statement that he has never seen the tough, kind and special person Andrew was.

His family claimed that Smith would be later be diagnosed with a non-Hodgkin lymphoma two years ago. He immediately initiated chemotherapy in 2014 which proved beneficial as he was able to regain his fitness and returned to work. However, in the summer of 2014, Smith collapsed forcing his heart to stop for almost 20 minutes with paramedics fighting for his life until a pulse was detected. He fell into an induced coma shortly after.

Despite having minimum traces of cancer in September 2014, the full borne disease would resurrect again in 2015 and prompted him to undertake an unsuccessful bone marrow transplant in November 2015.

Back in 2014, the People for Ethical treatment of Animals went to court to sue trainer Steve Asmussen for charges on animal cruelty and mistreat. This prompted the Hall of Fame in eradicating his name from the main contenders of the inclusion in the Hall of Fame. Nonetheless, these charges were dropped and brought a new beginning for Asmussen who now is eligible to take part in the final listing for the top awards in the Hall of Fame calendar year.

Two times has Asmussen scooped the Eclipse Award winner for Outstanding Trainer and conditioner of Horse of the Years Curlin and Rachel Alexandra. This was followed by a recent break through after one of his own horses Untapable scooped the 2014 Kentucky Oaks. Asmussen is currently ranked second in the all-time winning as a trainer in the US after he achieved the 7,000 win mark last year.

Investigation conducted undercover by Kentucky investigators could not verify the accusations made by PETA which prompted the New York State Gaming Commission in clearing Asmussen from the charges. However, he would be found guilty of directing the use of thyroxin hormone to his horses two days before the races.

It was during this investigation by the New York and Kentucky investigation that his Hall of Fame matter was put into consideration. In the end, Asmussen was cleared to vie in the hall in Saratoga Springs in New York. He will be among other trainers who have been operation for at least 25 years including Shug McGaughey, Bob Baffert and D. Wayne Lukas.

However, the case is yet to be over as on Tuesday the PETA senior vice president Kathy Guillermo claimed that they had clear prove that shows Asmussen injecting his horses with sedatives and other drugs which kept them running on daily basis. And for this reason, he went against the new legislation to protect horses from drug abuse and thus would be fined $10,000 by the New York State Gaming Commission.

Carson Palmer teammates are on high attitude after clinching another victory gunning over 30 points. The Arizona Cardinals oversaw a 38-8 win over Green Bay Packers in another demolition game in style and the quarterback was only amazed by their achievements. With the completion of the first round, the Cardinals are on 13-2 margin. Last week they clinched the NFC West title and have won nine times consecutively.

Nonetheless, Palmer claims that being in the playoffs in not a great achievement unlike winning it all up to the finals.

If the Cards take the motives and agitation to the playoffs, then definitely they will prosper and propel all the way to the finals.

The Cards who were without their veteran Pro Bowl defensive Tyrann Mathieu allowed just 178 yards and their head coach Bruce Arians claimed that this was not their best game yet. However he claimed that the team had their best play in the season at the defense.

Palmer has been instrument to the team’s performance with a record of 26-4 in his 30 games. He has combined efforts well with other players including John Brown, Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd. The team has boosted the inform services of running back David Johnson who made an astonishing 127 yards run last Sunday.

Nonetheless, the team will have to make it through the playoffs without the services of star player Mathieu who will be out for the rest of the season after having torn his interior cruciate ligament against Philadelphia Eagles. Nonetheless, they still boost services of various midfield players who can be called upon to replace Mathieu and this may pose a direct threat to other teams in the playoffs. The Cards are the hottest team to watch in the NFL as we speak.
