Canada are favorites for the Olympic hockey gold this month – but they´ll have to get past Russia, the Czechs, and dark horses Sweden. Will it be victory for Europe? And which country will come top of the medal table? Show your loyalties…and place your bets on all our great props at Bowmans International.

At the beginning of the NFL season, customers of English Sports Betting (ESB), our #1 Bad Bet, were told that ESB was sold to Telebet.com, allegedly a new company. Players had to roll their existing ESB balances over 10x and wait until October to b paid. To date - no payouts that we have heard of. In fact, today a player was told that his ESB balance will NOT be honored by Telebet…that Telebet owes this player nothing! The manager at Telebet, Tom, said “If we paid all of the ESB customers, we would be out-of-business”.

We have received two complaints in the last week regarding thefootballsportsbook.com. This appears to be a scam shop operated by longtime scammer Bobby Williams.

Here is one way this scam is orchestrated.
John, appears as a handicapper who sells you picks. He eventually will gain you confidence and have you deposit at thefootballsportsbook.com. Once you make your deposit and they collect your funds. The number and email addresses for ‘John’ no longer work.

The email addresses for thefootballsportsbook.com do not work and there is no toll free number to call. The domain appears to have been taken down in the last 24 hours…..

In a trading statement released to the London Stock Exchange on February 10th, BetonSports said it expected pre-tax profits before exceptional items for the year to 5 February would be “broadly in line with market expectations”.

The statement added that the company was “pleased” with final-quarter key performance indicators on customer sign-ups and deposits that continued to be ahead of the comparative period in the prior year.

Activity from last weekend’s NFL SuperBowl reached record levels but with the favourite, the Pittsburgh Steelers, winning, “the margin achieved was, disappointingly, neutral”.

The statement came a day after research from Altium Capital moved BetonSports to a Hold from a Buy and recommended investors look to switch into fellow US-facing sportsbook Leisure & Gaming (L&G) - (VIP Sports).

Greg Feehely and Wayne Brown, analysts at Altium Capital, said L&G shares looked “far more compelling” at present levels.

They added: “Furthermore, we know L&G’s numbers for the year to December 2005 are ‘in the bag’ and we believe the current year estimates leave room for upgrades as the year progresses, given the encouraging performance (in particular) from the (recent) acquisitions of Nine.com and English Harbour.”
