Since it was founded over a century ago, Forest Green Rovers has been playing most of its matches in the lower English divisions. However, it is on verge of attaining promotions come this season. These efforts may be attributed to their chairman Dale Vince the owner to green energy company Ecotricity who took over the team in 2010 when it faced many problems among them financial constrains.

Vince said that despite him being involved with issues pertaining energy, transport as well as food, he decided to pop in and rescue the team and make their soccer more fertile. Vince is focused to make Forest green Rovers one of the prominent clubs in Britain and probably globally.

With a week to spare before the kick off of the 2015/2016 campaign workers was busy modifying Rover’s pitch with the association of the Soil Association who confirmed the organic credentials. Grounds man Matt Rainey claimed that they were very unique as they make use of their biological, organic to keep their turf natural. They use recycled water and rainy water to maintain the green and lush turf.

They became the very first team in UK to incorporate robotic mowers that work under no human supervision. It is the same technology that is used by Germany powerhouse Bayern Munich. The team boost self generated power from 180 roof-mounted solar panels that runs the mow-rob.

In the last four years, the club has banned red meat for both players and fans and has rather incorporated organic food and vegetables. They have also initiated a shop that sells organic beer. The club now has dedicated its efforts on having vegan foods and according to a survey, the food is deemed to be good for all.

According to Chef Nicholas Allan who runs a café next to the stadium claimed that the new change in diet would affect stomachs of several players but with time they would get used to it. The main thing would be keeping the food always delicious and many will come to love it.

This program was accepted by club members with midfielder Rob Sinclair claiming that this was the best initiative ever and they would all give it support. This was echoed by staff member Sue as well as he colleague Karen. Fans too were not left behind as they claimed that no matter how hard it may seem for some, they would give it a try and with no time, all would be uniform.

Oddschecker has always on alert across every football season in compiling a report on various bookmakers and their paying odds. The firm concluded its research on the recently concluded 2014/2015 football season.

According to this survey, it emerged that BetVictor was very prominent among bettors as it offered an improved value on Match Odds market. The other bookies under Oddschecker list were said to have a medium odd which was almost 70% the ones offered the previous season.

In a more convincing data analysis, it was seen that BetVictor has been the only betting firm that was radically involved in all football games played in Europe. The stats showed that the betting firm was the lead when it came to Match Odds awarded to various leagues such as the Premier League, FA Cup, Championship, the Champions League as well as the Europa League.

TEAM FA has at last launched the fresh version of AccaTracker iOS app. The app involves itself with independent football results as well as bet-tracking applications. It enables one to have a multi bet with teams from over 100 leagues, allows one to bet on various sportsbook as well as bringing in live results and real time notifications.

The CEO and co-founder of TEAM FA Jamie Knowlson claimed that during the summer, his team has been assembling unique elements for their new app. They have worked closely with bookmaker associates as well as making use of their network to have direct user feedback as well as the end result has been a respondent of an amazing mobile app that is fast and usable.

Being the best app in our times, the combination of bets placed and Acca has been their main agenda over the summer as the company brought together the elements which make it perfect. This would be perfect as the growth of the sport would be eminent. The new AccaTracker has its screen reduced for the purpose of finding and building an accumulator. Its navigation comes with an easy mode where it brings a simple navigation way and this in turn would make bet placing easier than it was before.

Knowlson continued to say that the reduction of the screen will limit the user ‘click’ and will drive up the sum time that would be used on the app. This also follows the introduction of live match statistics as well as faster alerts. The new app also features a new incorporation of the a fresh CMS which would mainly focus on users who base themselves on bet history, bet selections without put into consideration if the user has an account with another associate. This forms the behind the scene feature which is more often away from customer eyes.

There are more than 750,000 accounts that have registered with the app and this would make it hard to shower them with identical updates and offers. To curb this, they will go down and handle each client individually. This means that a client will only get amazing offers for various betting sites rather than being sent a message to join any site.

A wager placed on anything besides a point spread or money lineis called a prop bet. This wager could range from the first to score to a quarterback that will have the most passing yards.

Normally, prop betting is the easiest to beat. This could be attributed by careless bookmaking. With various hundred lines to manage and create, lines managers are satisfied with low betting limits and simple methods for small market props. As such, it is makes it easier for a serious low stake-pro to evaluate a single prop in detail than those who created it.

For the time being, small maximum betting limits keeps the high rollersout and enables line movement on recreational action. A profitable market is one with no sharks but loss of fish.This means, the more smart bettors there are, the more betting props and the lower odds.

Let us take an example of a prop in NFL football on “Which team to score first” between Patriots and Lionsin different betting sites:

5Dimes- Patriots -150 / Lions +130
Bookmaker.eu- Patriots -175 / Lions +145

Sportsbook.ag- Patriots -165 / Lions +130

The Greek- Patriots -170 / Lions +140

Pinnacle- Patriots -147 / Lions +126

Another term to consider in sports betting is derivative. The prop bet in consideration “which will score first ‘ is a derivative. It comes the first half-betting lines of the game.

Consider the following to understand better:

5dimes- Patriots -4 -105 / Lions +4 -115 (25)

Bookmaker.eu- Patriots -4 / Lions +4 (25)
Sportsbook.ag- Patriots -4 / Lions +4 (25)
The Greek- Patriots -4 / Lions +4 (24.5)

Pinnacle- Pats -3.5 -116 / Lions +3.5 +105

If there are two sites that are committed to keeping their line accurate, is 5Dimes and Pinnacle. On the other hand, The Greek, Boomaker and sportsbook.ag are comfortable with pricing each side at -110

In sports betting, while the main market moves, derivatives follow at a slower pace and this what makes it interesting.

Yahoo Inc. seeks to boost its brand by joining fantasy sports betting, one of thesuccessful industries. This came because of its stagnant advertising revenue.

This week, the Silicon Valley giant made announcement of launching a betting service that could introduce over ten million people to legalize online sports gambling called Yahoo Sports Daily Fantasy.

Yahoo Sports Daily Fantasy is available through a mobile app. It enables users to compete either in groups or individually by placing bets on the performance of a professional athlete.

According to Eilers Research in Anaheim, the service is estimated to make $1.4 billion by 2020, with the industry for wagers growing at the rate of 41% every year. As such, this year, the service will generate around $2.6 billion in entry fee.

As said by Fantasy Sports Trade Assn, 56.8 million will be the total number of people playing fantasy sports this year.

With sites like FanDuel and Draftkings on the lead, fantasy betting has thrived since the Government passed the unlawful Gambling Enforcement Act in 2006.

The Vice president of Yahoo, Ken Fuchs said, “The move will allow Calif to expand its existence on mobile devices and create a base of steady transactional revenues by taking 19% of each wager.”

Yahoo is planning to start expanding its presence with football and baseball then later move to hockey and basketball, hoping to go international one day.

On the contrary, the managing director for Eilers Research, Adam Krejcik is disappointed that Yahoo Daily Sports Fantasy‘s platform is almost similar to its competitors FanDuel and Draftkings. Instead, Yahoo should have invested at least $100 million this year to make casual users of fantasy sports have shareable experience on social media.

On Thursday,Krejcik wrote to clients, “As much as Yahoo has the necessary resources to spend, it is uncertain to us whether the management is willing to commit to such amount of cash.”

Fuchs declined and went ahead to explain how the company was going to invest this year.
