Levey pleased with his position in the Investec Derby

Sean Levey is by far the most joyous racer there is. This is after he came fifth in position in the Investec Derby supplementary entry Humphrey Bogart. Though the owner didn’t return the whole bunch of money as expected, at least he was happy. He failed to return 75,000 Euros because he got 41,560.50 in return. Levey said that although he didn’t finish first what really thrilled him was the ambience as the race begun and ended. Trainer Richard Hannon was very proud of him as he looked at the Irish Derby and Royal Ascot because he had taken a massive step up.

Simcock was very pleased by Aglometers outcome. His trainer said though he lacked acceleration at the beginning of the race and during the race he managed not to fall and stay at the end. And at the end he managed to gallop to the line even though it was already past time. Sheikh Hamdans racing manager said that Qipco 2,000 didn’t do his best during the much. He said that was so because they had worked him up over a mile and a half the other day and he did pretty well compared to what he did during the game. He couldn’t explain the reason why he came that position though he had done everything.

Ulysses emerged position 12. Michael Strutes who`s the trainer of Ulysses was very disappointed by this outcome. Jockey Andera  Atzeni explained how Ulysses had travelled nicely into the race but on reaching near the finish line he felt the ground a little. This made his speed decelerate and thus was defeated by the rest. Jockey continued by saying that he thinks Ulysses need nicer ground which won’t affect his galloping stamina or lose balance. Cloth of star emerged position eight and Moonlight Magic came last.

Kevin Durant might not be going for the free Agency Tour

Kevin Durant might not be going for the free Agency Tour

Kevin Durant is one of the best forward players this summer. The Los Angeles Lakers will be trying as much as possible to convince him to join their league during the tour. After Kobe Bryant retirement, Lakers are trying as much as possible to look for someone to take part of the forward position Kobe left. Even though their anticipation and regard to Durant, chances are very minimal that he will accept their offer. During the last seasons agents have been offering free tours to players in different teams. But according to Royce Young of ESPN it is likely Durant won’t comply. To him it looks like recruitment but he said that he isn’t that kind of a person.

Though it is certain that he won’t attend the tour, Matt Moore of CBS Sports put down assumptions how Durant’s agency operation will happen. He said because Kevin Durant hold a number of meetings in Los Angeles, he spends his summer and his home is situated in the same location hell try to make a lot of decisions. This would not be the case if he has already decided to go back to OCK. This will be so whether it’ll be based on a five or two year deal. This basically would make him not harbor such offers.

Over the seasons Lakers wait too long for players to make decisions about their recruitment. This isn’t so with Durant, though he may not make his decision as they expect, he’ll make it pretty fast. If maybe he refuses it’ll be fair because other players won’t wait too long or make commitments with other agencies because there won’t wait for long. If he rejects the recruitment, that won’t be a problem to the Lakers because they have enough salary to pay other players. This will be profitable because they won’t sacrifice a salary slot. The Lakers are planning to make it big this summer; this will be possible if only they convince the best player they’ll get to come to Los Angeles.

Golf ought To Be a Team Sport!

Golf industry is trying as much as possible to attract younger players. To make the children induced into the game a foot golf, a fifteen inch hole and a golf board (which is a vehicle) are being used to replace the handed down golf cart with skateboard which is motorized. The question remains as, what would happen if golf became a team sports?

Many may find it awkward but it has been proven that team playing is the best combination for people under the age of 35.Kris Hart said that he thinks golf as a team sport regardless other don’t have the same view as him. Since the formation of Nextgengolf organization in 2014 most players are from 18 to 34 years of age. In college 450 students from different schools compete in club tournaments. They compete in group of eights. Only those who score five counts win. On the City Tour teams of four to six people compete in a two team formats where the team which scores on each hole wins. A scramble up is also there, whereby everyone in the team tries his or her best shot.

Kris hart tried to explain that by playing together unity can be achieved and the game becomes more enjoyable with everyone participating than individuals. PGA of America tried this formats to kids under the age of 13 and many joined. In the last three years, the number tripled with 30,000 members. Teaming in golf helps players to co- exist as each player knows which wing or side he can play best.  Most watched golf events are individual but since the early 1960s it has been proven right that teaming up helps mobilize the players to one opponent and try as much as possible to muster their positions very well.

This summer golf officials chose the PGA formats that is: seventy two holes of individuals shot play. As a result of this occurrences golf as an individual game play persists. Kris Hart cited many games which gear young people to make friends. These games are basketball and soccer. Golf isn’t included here because it’s a  very stand alone game. Hart concluded by saying that the organization is looking at way in which everyone can be included in one game instead of one person playing a match, solo.

Online sports gambling thrives in Canada’s legal ‘grey zone’

Online sports gambling thrives in Canada’s legal ‘grey zone’

Every morning, every online gambler wakes up with the hope they won in one of their sports bets. Life for an online gambler, for example Steve is made up of waking early in the morning and jumping straight to their computers. Life is good for Steve on the days he manages to score some winnings after wagering a few hundred dollars on two NBA games and he wins on both of these games. He won the bets on San Antonio Spurs and the hometown Raptors. He loyally carries out research on every game, both in the morning and in the evening. However, Steve considers all these as normal; to him it is not an addiction but a way of earning extra profit. He also adds that his friends also engage in sports betting.

Funny enough most of these sports betting accounts are not in existence in Canada but are in areas such as Antigua, Gibraltar, the Isle of Man or the United Kingdom. These places are known to entice gamblers who are based in countries where sports betting is illegal, making all these quite suspicious. Since the start of internet gambling sites more than twenty years ago, Canadian authorities have not put any interest in the multi-billion-dollar project thus only allow its operation in secluded areas where it is less likely to take place. Michael Lipton who is a gaming law practitioner with Dickinson Wright in Toronto argues that the reason where sports gambling sites consider Canada as a grey area is the fact that there have been no prosecutions in the area.

The major question remains unanswered as to why the Canadian government ignores online sports betting. Lawyer Chad Finkelstein says that the reason is that the provinces in Canada that practice gambling are mostly grey zone areas and the gaming constitution laws have never been updated since the 1960s. These laws do not ban gambling in those offshore areas and if the Canadian government stopped their operation, the online bookmakers would sue them. Sports betting have also become easy as the online sports betters can deposit and withdraw their funds directly from their homes. These transactions openly happen in very big and recognized Canadian banks. Sports’ betting is even a major contributor of profits to most of these banks.

In Canada players are able to wager up to $4 billion annually though the sports books located in Europe or in other places of the world. This is according to the vice president of the Canadian Gaming Association, Paul Burns.Lipton agrees that sports betting could be a huge contributor of revenues for the Canadian government.

A Light is shown on Crickets Loneliness curse by Monty Panesar Confession

A Light is shown on Crickets Loneliness curse by Monty Panesar Confession

Through the research done by many, it has been found that many cricket players face a lot of stress and discomfort due to their failure in the field. The players psychological problems emerge as a result of brainy fade, dismissal from the game or their batting average misses. Monty Panesar paved way to the redemption of the cricket players. By his confession of his feelings which ranged from paranoia to low esteem and seeking medical advice has helped many to know what to do if cumbered with the same burden.

Players spend a lot of time away from home and their families. This soon creates a vacuum in which a depressing state is perceived. A seed of subconscious is reached when a player fails or a batsman fails to prove that he can hit well in the game. At this moment a seed of subconscious is planted in his mind. As the player repetitively curses and get depressed, that’s when he starts breaking down from his game to his head. Bell inspired a lot of people during an interview he clearly expressed his turmoil and depression in 2012. Cricket hardly creates a room for expressing insecurities or psychological problems. It is for this reason that Monty Panesar was appointed mental health ambassador for the Professional Crickets Association. Panesar was able to move out of the depressing state only because he decided to say it out loud.

Cricket is one sport that’s said to really cause health crisis to its players. One of cricket’s players Graeme Fowler was crushed by his mental illness one time that he did not leave his home for six weeks. He even says that he almost found it difficult to make a cup of coffee. Jim Burke one of Australian Cricket layers killed himself with a gun in 1979 for going 44 innings without a duck. Cricket is a very controversial game, if the player’s frustrations aren’t monitored by medics it is clear that they can break down. Panesar is a very good reminder that anyone has a choice to make any decision without being discriminated. Monty Panesar helped many players even from other games to speak about their problems openly.
