The absence of Usain Bolt will be a talking point for commentators the world over next Summer as the five rings are hauled aloft in Japan for the 32nd modern Olympic Games and there will be a very noticeable gap in the line up for the final of the race that decides who is the fastest man on the planet. The Tokyo 2020 100m odds on Christian Coleman at Unibet, one of the best online sportsbook sites in Japan, suggest he’ll be the one to watch, but this is a step into uncertainty.

The Conservative government in Britain is cracking down on gamblers. After touting it for years they’ve now instituted a ban on credit card gambling in the UK. This will place pressure both on those who like to bet on sports in the UK, and online bookies. Sites like Bet365 will now have to hope 10.5 million people can change their habits. That’s how many people are gambling with a credit card in the UK right now. Apparently that’s not enough. So here’s 7 reasons it’s a bad idea.

There will be many among us who will not think this goes far enough. That it is merely a step in the right direction. However, it is progress. The ban on credit card gambling in the UK still allows those who wish to bet on sports in the UK to do so. It will simply make it far less easy for those with restraint issues from getting into unmanageable debt. Given that’s a couple of million people you’d think that enough, but for those still not convinced here are 7 other reasons.

The odds on Australia to win the ODI series in India are now so short you’ll need a microscope. Their performance in the first of three matches was dominant, confident and utterly devastating. In a year where all short-form games are important, this was a statement of intent from Australia. The rest of the world will take note. Bet365, one of the best online betting sites in Australia, certainly has. India, meanwhile, will have to bounce back, but that could be a very tall order.

A lot of the party will bet on Keir Starmer to be the next Labour leader. His smooth emollient style precisely what they need to recover from the fallow years under Corbyn. However, leadership elections in the Labour Party don’t always go as expected. Just ask the bookies like Bet365, one of the best online betting sites in the UK. They lost out when Corbyn won through, and so they’re not taking any chances this time round. And neither will the Labour Party.

With the World Cup on the horizon, you can bet on T20 tournaments this year to take on added significance. The selectors are watching. That means players joining the Melbourne Renegades, last year’s champions, will be disappointed. Bookies like Unibet, one of the best online sportsbook sites in Australia, give them 300/1 to win this year. This stands in marked contrast to the 2020 Big Bash League odds on the Melbourne Stars. Their crosstown rivals now favorites.

It wasn’t, if we’re entirely honest, the best of performances. It was patient enough, but seemed to be awaiting a piece of good fortune. In the second Test England got that luck. However, for the third, the online sportsbook sites in the UK like Bet365 aren’t sure they’ll get it again. Their hosts are no push over. This means a bet on England in the 3rd Test in South Africa is not for the faint hearted. Miracles are their stock-in-trade now, but do they have any left on the shelves?

It’s now officially an election year so the Democrats, as is traditional, are ripping strips off each other. With the massively significant Iowa Caucus just weeks away no one is giving an inch. The gloves are off. Bovada, one of the best online betting sites in the US today, is, however, giving one democrat better chances. The odds on Joe Biden winning the White House have now closed up. This puts him firmly as the best of the rest behind continuing bookies’ favorite; Trump.

The F1 Bet On Lewis Hamilton In 2020 Isn’t The Burning Issue

The F1 Bet On Lewis Hamilton In 2020 Isn’t The Burning Issue

Everyone in F1 bet on Lewis Hamilton in 2020 after his win last year. Online betting sites in the UK like Bet365 offer just 4/6 on him being champion again. Ferrari, for their part, are distinctly quiet about their chances, and even Red Bull are less than bullish. It may well be 2020 is the fallow year before rule changes in 2021. Not that the drivers are really concentrating on that at present. So, right now, they’re way too busy being just about as hypocritical as it’s possible to be.

This has become a series too close to call. This means there’s plenty of opportunities for the canny South African gambler.
