Having secured a Class 1 Romanian operator license from the regulator, Official National pentru Jocuri de Noroc (ONJN) for ten years, NetBet has definitely set its foot in Romania. The license comes after a provisional one that had earlier been issued by ONJN, the regulator.

What does this mean to the European sports betting operator? The sports betting operator will now operate specific Romanian subsidiary Cosmo Gaming Company, maintaining the operations and services of NetBet.ro.

Henderson Wins Portland Classic for the second time in a row

Henderson Wins Portland Classic for the second time in a row

Canadian professional golfer Brooke Mackenzie Henderson became the first to win the Portland classic second time in a row after Annika Sorenstam’s victory both in 2002 and 2003. In 2013 the tournament became a 72 hole event and the teenage golfer has been the first back to back winner since then. The defending champion had a swift four-stroke conquest. It wasn’t a walkover as golfer pulled through some edgy moments on the back nine.

Henderson joins Ha Na Jang as the second back to back winner this year in the tour. Ha Na Jang of South Korea won the Coates Championship early this year on 6th February.

The Sunday victory marks Henderson’s third career win. Speaking to Jerry Foltz during an interview she teases that the Northwest has been good to her. Well, that is true given that all her wins are from Northwest. Besides her two Portland victories, she also won the KPGM women’s PGA Championship at Sahalee Country Club in Sammamish, Washington in June 2016.

With three majors left this year, including the Olympics, Henderson believes that her win in the past tournaments only give her confidence to do better in the upcoming tournaments. The second-ranked eighteen year old golfer shot a 14-under 274 after a final round 71 at Columbia Edgewater Country Club in Portland, Oregon. In comparison to last year, where she had a nine stroke lead, her performance this year was noted to be varying. She had an eight-stroke win with a 21 under 267 at the 2015 Cambia Portland Classic.

Henderson reckons that she might not have played her best but it all worked out to second victory.

Are the wolves ready for the NBA Free Agency?

Are the wolves ready for the NBA Free Agency?

NBA fans most times look forward to the NBA free agency period. This period lasts for about 48 hours and is usually the most entertaining and the craziest and is the period where teams begin speaking to free agents. NBA Twitter is also very active at this period where there are rumors, meetings, midnight visits and salary figure discussions. In this season there is an increase in salary figures to about $94M. There is an increase in cap space to around $27M where the Wolves will be going to the free agency with about three free roster spots. This is despite the fact that Doogie Wolfson has a different amount of $29M recorded in his podcast. This period the league does not have a lot of money to spend on the free agents class during the summer.

This is to mean that there will be some big contracts set aside for insignificant guys that will cause regret in the coming period. Wolves are interested in some players and Darren Wolfson in his podcast link has cited eight of them. The players include Eric Gordon, Kris Humphries, D.J Augustin. Joakim Noah, Ryan Anderson, Courtney Lee, Randy Foye and Luol Deng, Anderson seems to have been doing poorly in his recent games. Foye and Gordon do not seem to give much hope in the NBA games. Other players that are of interest include Mizra Teletovic, Zaza Pachulia, John Leur among many others. The New York Liberty will be hosted by Lynx where they will try to get back on track even though they have had major improvements moving from 10-5.

Pat Summitt who was a great pioneer of the women’s basketball team has passed on. She was also a well-known coach and worked hard to make the women’s college game popular. She coached at Tennessee and won 8 national titles, 1098 wins in 38 seasons. Her competitiveness, longevity and her ability to bring her team to the limelight made her stand out among others. She was a great person and will be remembered more so because of her personal attributes.

Golf isn’t going well after coming back to the Olympics

Golf isn’t going well after coming back to the Olympics

Nobody expected that the return of golf after 112 years would be faced with such a mess. Various players such as Shane Lowery, Charl Schwartzel, Jason Day, Adam Scott, all announced their withdrawal from the game. There are a number of many others expected to withdrawal from the game. Jordan Spieth is also expected to be among the players who will pull out from the game since he has been hesitant. At the press conference for the WGC Bridgestone Invitational, the 22 year old player announced that he was uncertain of whether he would engage in the game since there were a number of factors to consider before engaging in the game.

One of these factors is the major support from Coca-Cola which supports golf game in a big way. Olympic golf in all the 112 years has not has a top shot hit and the game is already suffering, despite the fact that Spieth will not be joining them. Golf will be played only in 2016 and 2020 in Tokyo and there is a possibility that after the Games, it will be dismissed just like baseball and lacrosse. People are not being blamed for their lack of zeal to go to Rio due to concerns for their family. This is because Zika virus is posing a threat though Geoff Shackelford said that the Zika virus was not connected with those building the golf course.

Mosquitoes in Brazil are few due to the winter season and since the golf course is located in a windy area of Rio the Zika mosquitoes pose no threat. Even though most golf players have withdrawn, the golf field is still quite strong. Bubba Watson, Danny Willet, Sergio Garcia, Justin Rose, Henrik Stenson and Dustin Johnson are among the top 10 players that are planning to play. The strange thing is that only men are withdrawing from the game while no woman has at the moment withdrawn. Women are ready to embrace the opportunity of taking part in the golf game and they are hoping for safety assurances.

There are various aggressive Canadian players that are likely to represent Canada in Rio. Those ready to represent them in the Maple Leaf include David Hearn and Graham DeLaet from the men’s side and Alena Sharp and Brooke Henderson from the women’s side. There is still hope that with the Olympics golf will pick off at the competitions but at the moment no golf player is willing to take that chance thus leading to the falling of golf at the Olympics.

Cardinals’ president believes that digital distribution of games in NFL is the way to go

Cardinals’ president believes that digital distribution of games in NFL is the way to go

NFL will have a new major online distributor as the main media partner. For a long time traditional television networks such as NBC, CBS, network ESPN, FOX and the satellite provider DirecTV have been NFL’S main media partners. Michael Bidwill who is the Cardinals President on PTF Live said that he hopes that online video distributors such as You Tube, Amazon, or Netflix will one day outweigh the traditional media companies and start transmitting NFL games. The Cardinals president is very much hopeful that NFL will someday be transmitted by online video distributors.

However, he has worries on how they will be able to evolve to online media distributors. In his statement he said that the best thing to do for now is listening to what their fans have to say about the online media distributors and whether they would be open for NFL games being transmitted online. He also noted that a number of their fans were now using digital devices and also made use of mobile devices and other handheld devices such as iPads. Michael Bidwill says he wants to make use of that digital migration by fans.

The new documentary series of All or Nothing which makes its first performance on July 1st is as a result of the partnership between Cardinals and Amazon. It will be aired on Amazon Prime and Michael Bidwill has hopes that the series will be able to capture various new fans for the NFL games from outside Arizona. The series will also be a sure way of broadcasting their story all over the country and expanding their footprints as well as their fan base. According to Michael Bidwill NFL still hopes to expand its fan base all over the world, and the use of online distributor services such as YouTube, Netflix, and Amazon will be the start of broadcasting their games online.

NFL fans had a lot to say about the new expected transition. Most of them were in support of it while some said that the transition was not entirely possible. One of the fans said that NFL had to first expand a Prime-ticket like service in order to transition to online distributors.

Over 125,000 fans attended the game which lasted up to three days. Oldest format cricket is being campaigned for and two divisions with high rewards for the top management should be responsible for campaigning for the old formats. They should aim to inspire other nations who have passion for the game. Government interference has made the Cricket Association of Nepal to become suspended.

Cricket will be played in 7-10 years’ time if time if things are done differently this is according to the chief executive BhawanaGhimire as he addressed Standard Sport. ICC has a number of countries who are quite interested in cricket considering the number of people who are interested in cricket in Nepal. 10,000 people attended the two cricket games hosted in Nepal against Namibia in the World Cricket League.
